Thank you so much for the video. I originally had the Ecovacs on my shortlist but what you mentioned about no carpet made me change my mind!

Great video thanks

Thank you so much!! Please make a video on a dupe , an affordable one.

Thanks for the video. I can't find the measurements for the depth of the base station for the roborock, how far out from the wall it sits with the robovac docked. Any chance you could help? I would love one of these but need a place to hide the base station!

I bought a Roborock s7 Maxv Ultra based on that, I can't find a single bad review, and with the Black Friday sale, I was in. After using it for 2 days, I found a major problem that none of the reviews mentioned. While it claims to automatically empty it does not. The vacuum, and has a small bin inside, and I have two large dogs. The unit will only empty the bin at the very end of the job. There is no setting in the app to tell it to go and empty the bin but there is one that will tell you to clean the mop head. If you send it back to base it will start the job all over again. Once the bin is full inside the robot, it will just push the dirt around on the floor. I called Roborock's tech support and they said that this is normal. With my two dogs it will literally fill the bin to overflowing and will stop the job and I will have to manually remove the hair from the machine. I don't understand how all of the reviewers missed this major bug.

Wonderful comparison video! Thanks very much! Looking to replace my old Roborock S6 and I think I'm staying with Roborock!

I've had the S7 MaxV Ultra for three weeks and love it. The Ecovacs would have been my second choice. From a purely design aspect, the Ecovacs is much better. Containers are concealed and the entire unit looks much nicer. The app is very easy to use on the S7 with tons of options. Works flawlessly as it transitions from hardwood floors to carpet, and carpets don't even get damp if it's mopping. While you can do both vac and mopping in one job, I'm finding it's better to vac first and then mop. Leaving the mop head on during vacuuming can cause problems when it has to transition from floor to thicker carpeting, especially if you have small area rugs on carpeted areas. With the mop head off, it manages transitions flawlessly. However, it does not empty the dust bin after every job, and it won't tell you when the dust bin is full. The self-drying aspect isn't a problem for me since I do all the mopping on one day, remove the mop head, and toss it in the washer (but air dry it). At this price, it really should include a self-drying feature for people who mop on various days of the week. I empty and rinse the dirty water container after mopping sessions and add a couple of drops of Lysol to keep it sanitary until next time. The Omo cleaning solution, the only one Roborock recommends at this point, does a good job. One capful per full container of clean water does the job, and means the 16 oz. bottle will last a long time. Glad I went with Roborock again, but if I had to make a second choice, the Ecovacs would be perfectly acceptable. Thanks for your great reviews. They are so helpful in understanding the robots on the market and making a choice that works for each person's needs and budget.

Have you rated the Costco Ecovacs DEEBOT X1 Plus Vacuum and Mop Robot with Auto-Empty Station ?

Great review however, from someone who has one of these, (X1 Omni) take note that the mopping feature is great if you only have one floor to do. Since the robot goes back to its station to clean the mop and then continue its session (I think it does this after 15min) you will not be able to do that on another floor unless you have another station. So basically you have to bring the robot back to the floor where you have the station for it to clean the mops. Then you have to get the robot to exit the station and bring it back to the floor it was on and resume cleaning. Only problem is it wont remember where it was so it will do areas it already did. It’s not like when the there is a low battery and it goes to charge and then resume where it left off. Something to consider.

You can now buy a dryer for S7 MaxV Ultra, it’s around $100. Also, they just dropped the price about 25%. I have had the S7 for several months and love it

I’ve been comparing your videos on all robot vacs. I’m split between the Roborock and the Norwal. Sooo you prefer the Roborock over the Norwal? I’ll have to check if the Norwal will go over carpet. Like that it dries itself and of course the design of it. Thanks 😊

Which one has a better mopping performance?

I’m on day 4 on the Ecovac and I can clearly state that the vacuum cannot clear transitions. I know it was mention that carpet was an issue, and that is true too, but I’ve been in touch with customer service to find work arounds, as half my house is wood and half tile. Sadly, this means that not only is whole house cleaning not an option, but because the vacuum returns to base about every 10-15 minutes depending on settings it can only clean very briefly and die. I should note because I’m working on this problem, I saw in you video the vacuum didn’t clear your transition either. Might return, but I’m going to give Ecovac a good-faith effort, as they have responded and we are sharing data to find a solution.

We have a fake wood floor, like a laminate with an MDF core.....it swells if water gets between the planks. So I'm concerned about the amount of water that the mops put down. What's worse is there is a bevel gap feature between planks, so the mop action may result in water collecting between the planks. Would this be an issue with either of these?

My old roomba i7+ needs a replacement. Should i buy the roborock s7VMax or the roomba j7+ and m6 mob? We only have tiles and a lot of dog/cat hair in the room.

QUESTION... I have 1 step up to my kitchen ... would I have to have a separate robot for there?

I live I'm a duplex, can I program 2 separate floors and carry the station level to level?

I don’t have wifi in all areas that require mapping. Do you know if either model will map an area without Wifi? Will it be able to navigate without wifi?

I tried Bona on my Roborock s7 max. Have you tried fabulosa solution ? 1/4 cup of fabulosa to 1 gallon water. Or you can use less then 1/4 to 1 gallon. Just wanted my house to smell fresh. I need to test this out.

What detergents do you us for s7?

I don’t really understand what robot did you prefer?

The only hesitate me to buy the Roborock is for such an expensive stuff they’re quality of customer service and technical support, globally and locally are pretty bad compare to ecovacs. The Roborock team won’t reply message and take them too long to response you form the local representative. Not only that, they’re really helpless 🙈Because of this, I would prefer ecovacs. This is really unfortunate for the Roborock and I hope they can improve and appreciated their customer better.

Ecovacs X1 OMNI will do carpet, you need to take off the floor scrubbers first!
