Roborock S7 MaxV Ultra Dock Hot Air Dryer Module

Roborock S7 MaxV Ultra Dock Hot Air Dryer Module - Full Test Results!

Күн бұрын

One of the biggest complaints about the S7 MaxV Ultra when it came to market was with the lack of a hot air drying system to dry the wet mopping pad. Users complain of stinky mopping pads sitting around and I have to agree with them. With the retail price of around $1500 Roborock should have included this system from the beginning, however since they did not they have now released an add-on dock dryer module as they call it. No sadly it is not free and even if you purchased the dock you have to pay around $90 USD for this module.
In this video I will give you a full overview with installation and complete specs and test results. For $90 and as an after-thought does it even work?

I wouldn't call the hot air dryer module "100% necessary", but I do like having it in place. Its so quiet I wasn't sure it was working. Although, since I've had it (and its been months now), I've never had a smelly mop with the Roborock. For my personal recommendation, I like having it there and having the mop dried whenever it gets wet. I can't help but believe it must extend the life of the mop a bit and for that I'm appreciative. So yeah, maybe not 100% necessary, but adding it to the unit makes Roborock the very best vacuum out there...and goodness knows I've tried a bunch of them!

I've had the S7 MaxV Ultra for 3 weeks now. The mopping head is washed after a mopping job. The unit parks into the dock with the rear portion, where the mopping head is, is somewhat elevated and exposed to the air in the room. The mop dries in a few hours. You might also just remove the mopping pad (a real pain, I know) and let it air dry. For people who run frequent vac/mopping jobs, or have lots of messy jobs, the drying unit might be just what you need. Thanks for this excellent review!

Thanks! I covered it at 03:08 in the video as far as AMP and Watts. The exact consumption will vary and depend on several factors. 1. How often you mop. 2. How long you tell it to dry the pads for. It has 3 different durations to select from. I suspect someone could take my energy consumption information and figure it out based on their usage. It is really pretty insignificant usage imo.

How good cleans the dock the mopping pad itself? So how many times is good to re-use it without replacing it for a clean new mopping pad? When you put the mopping pad after every mopping cycle in your you washmachine, i dont see the advantage with the dryer module.

@jamie.andrews 11 ай бұрын

The dock cleans it fairly good, but depending on the amount of use it sees you will still need to hand wash the pad from time to time. I can not really answer your question on how many times a mopping pad is good for since there are way to many variables to give one answer. I replace mine once a year for good measure, but I don't use one robot daily. Most people with the Ultra dock do not remove it after every mopping job to hand wash it. That defeats a large reason for the dock itself. While you should remove the mopping pads and clean it by hand or washing machine every so often, if you can dry it on the dock you cut down on bad smells created when it air dries after a mopping job. If you are the person who is always going to remove it to wash it after a mopping job, the dryer module is 100% useless for you. Hope this helps.

Very good content, straight to the point. I bought the chinese module from Aliexpress, its rated at 220V and my S7 MaxV is 110V. But if you plug the dryer on 110V outlet, it also outputs 110V to the dock, which is very logic. Also, the dock appears to be working normally with the dryer. The thing is, I measured the energy consumption of my 220V drying module plugged on 110V, and it's showing the same numbers as yours (0.55A and 38W). Very weird, since it's working on a lower voltage, it was supposed to be outputting less power, around 20W. The only explanation is if my module is actually bivolt, not 220V. Or yours is also 220V and you don't know, since you said there is nothing specified in the box. Anyone that have the drying module got different numbers?

@jamie.andrews 6 ай бұрын

I suspect the module can accept 220V for other markets, but the plug they ship limits our version to 110V. Just a guess though.

@bodosko 6 ай бұрын

I did more tests and the drying module is definitely bivolt. Plugged in 220V and all measures were the same, except power factor, that was 0.6 on 110v and 0.3 on 220v. Everything else was the same, even the blowing temperature (around 100F). I don't know why they would specify as 220v only.

I tried ordering one from Roborock, but they've been out for a while, so I bought one of the dryer modules from China on Amazon - it said "US Plug," so I thought that's what it would be. Turns out it had a European plug, but came with an adapter for US plugs. Since there's no voltage conversion, it works just fine with the adapter plug. I worried because you're replacing the main AC cord with the dryer module cord, but all is well. It is a Roborock-branded dryer module and works as expected. The app recognizes it, too.

How long is the included power cable, and can an extension cord be used?

@jamie.andrews Жыл бұрын

The power cord is 6ft long. If you used an extension cord it would need to have the same or larger gauge wire and not be very long. My recommendation is inquire with Roborock about the use of extension cords as I have no way to tell you what is and what is not safe as it is not listed on their page.

@steve4195 Жыл бұрын

@@jamie.andrews thanks! I couldn’t find an answer anywhere and was hoping the cord would be long. The dock is already a behemoth and not exactly the prettiest thing. The only decent spot is like 5’ from any outlet. Glad to hear that won’t be an issue.

Do you know anything about a stinky smell when mopping in each room? I’ve checked everything and clean everything and only use a clean mop.

The dust bin is clean. Specifically it smells like dirty water…or puke. 😮
