Thanks, informative comparison. Interesting to see how Roborock have learned from the previous models to simplify and improve the Revo dock.

Incredible video!!!! So helpful for me as I'm currently trying to decide on a Roboorock to purchase.

Amazing review, been watching a lot of your videos this past couple hours, great quality and great details, keep up the good work.

Very useful comparison. Just what I was looking for, thank you.

Nice detailed video as always . Spot on with the info and important differences. Bought myself S7 Max Ultra last week based off your videos. Thx for helping me in the right direction.

Thanks for honest review. You changed my mind and saved my money!

Great Videp Jamie!! My review of the Q Revo is coming out Monday!

Thanks for making the differences so clear!

Thank you for investing your time on this. The Q Revo looks incredible for it's price.

I purchased the Q Revo on Amazon Prime Day and it’s such a game changer. Coming from using the Roomba i7 it is night and day. I always wanted a robot vacuum that can also mop and Roborock’s technology and features blow the Roomba out of the water. Not just the device itself, but the app is a lot more intuitive than Roomba’s.

One of your earlier review/comparison videos helped me choose the Q Revo over Roomba and Shark equivalents. Even over the Q7 offerings. It was nice to see a comparison of all the docks. I still prefer the Q Revo dock however, a plumbing connection would be awesome! Thanks for the comparisons!

This water change kit you can buy for the MaxV base is a complete life changer. My house has never been so clean, oh, and it also sucks out the reaming water of the dock filter. Now my floor is impeccable. You can send the robot to mop your house in deep+ mod and 3x per room, ask for it to clean the mop after each room, and forget about it. It changed my life's routine, literally.

Perfect timing, Jamie. I have the Roborock S7 Max V. Just yesterday I got a message from Roborock to clean the filter On The Dock! What? I never heard of a filter on the dock. Not listed on the cleaning info. Not shown on the diagram. How to clean? nothing! I found the filter and it was a mess for sure! Managed to clean it and under it. Now from your video I learn about cleaning the lower brush and area to the left of the dock. The entire area is so dark, it requires a strong flashlight to figure all this out. So you sure came to the resque at the right time. Thanks again for being my Roborock Expert for all time!

Nice comparison! 👏🏻

your video was very important it gave me important information about the behind the lexury we get which is cleaning the device itself ... thank you so much you helped me in my choice ...

Hey Jamie, thank you for your videos! They are super detailed and well organized. Could you possibly do a comparison with Roborock Q revo and Dreame L10S ultra? They seemed to be very similar in terms of specs and price so would really appreciate your opinions on them.

Thanks for you video James, always good to watch. I'm an international person and it would be great if we knew if these units and other are just the 110 volt or if they are a multi volt unit, this way when we can't get them in our country we know we could look for the multi volt model. Unsure if that would be an easy thing to add to your reviews but it seems no one else is doing this 😉. I think you are working on a T20 video at the moment, one thing that has been brought up in other comments, how does the no-water tank work for multi floors and also the pads apparently are down during docking, hence comments they drip down the base onto the floor during docking, one off or common issue?

Hey Jaime, great video love your channel I just got the s7 max ultra and wondering if i should use a cleaning detergent, i can't get my hands on the official cleaner but have many locally made multipurpose cleaner available I wonder if it's risky or anything for the robot and dock internals Also a video about the subject would be great because so much debate is going about it on Reddit with clear answers Thanks!

Got my Q Revo on prime day last week. Absoluely love it since I have an apartment with all hard wood floors, some rugs, and a tile bathroom. The user experience on the app is great as well, coming from person who builds tech for a living. 100% would recommend it to anyone.

We have the Q revo and uses in standart settings low watter use and every 15 min mop wash at 1230 sqft / 114m2 al of the water !!! So for us we need to fill and empty every time the bins . Like you told keep this in mind with te Q revo !! Thanks for the review from Belgium europe

Hey Jamie ! Keep up the amazing work, I love the vids! I have a question about the "routine" option within the app , I have the S7 MaxV PLUS(not the ultra dock) . However when I make a routine for my robot and I add 2 tasks to complete, it will finish the first task and then just say it's finished cleaning and then return to the dock without ever completing the 2nd task I had given it , again this is all within the "routines" option. Any info on that ?

My new method of assessing robot vacuums is how long I can go without having to interact with them. That is, pulling a cable out from them or filling up the water tank / emptying the dirty tank. I think all brands build some pretty capable vacuums but very excited what Roborock do in the next year or two

Love your videos, they're always so comprehensive and informative! I got the Q Revo after watching your video on it 😁 i can't figure out how to make it automatically run a vacuum only round, then run a vacuum and mop... Or some combination like that... Is it possible to do?

i love your videos, i subbed to you!

Thanks! I've been trying to figure out the differences between the S7 Maxv ultra and the max ultra. Just bought the S7 max ultra since it's on a big sale today with the drop of the S8 Maxv Ultra.

How do you clean out the dust bin on the Q revo? I assume it has to be emptied regularly?

very informative video my main question is iif its possible to use the new s7 max ultra dock with the older s7 max v ultra robot. i bought the s7 max v robot only and now looking to buy an ultra dock and would much rather prefer the newer max ultra dock with the built in drying and upgraded cleaning and filter design. based on my research i cant find a conclusive answer other than a few people saying they are exactly the same dock and should work. since you have both the robots and dock would appreciate if you can test and give an answer. thanks

Great videos . Thank you😊

Would you try considering the auto fill water module that you mentioned? Is it a Roborock original part? And try to find out if it is compatible both with the Max and the MaxV?

Weird ..the Q Revo is based on the "P series" platform (P10) which has historically been lower end for Roborock. Price heavily reflected it in China markets. P series was rebranded into S4MAX/S5MAX/S6 PURE (P5) in global markets early on, but I think they went a different route this time.. making "P" a dedicated platform for floor scrubbing. The S5/S6 used to be based on the flagship "T" series, but thats now lower end for some reason. The US S8's seem to be based on G10/G20 now. S7 was also "lower end" but also newer relative to Chinese T7 a few years back. S6 MAX V was a T7 PRO. The S7 that came out globally was ground up and not based on previous chinese platforms, but you can tell where they cut corners (IE: Cliff sensors being removed, when every flagship bot prior had 6 instead of 4) T8 in China is now a cheaper robot with 4200 PA, while Global S8 seems better spec'd. so confusing :D. T8 Seems to be a better and worse than S7 in multiple areas... Just $150 usd cheaper in china ATM. I was trying a ton of robots back then and settled on S6.. which is 1:1 equal to Chinese T6 EXCEPT side brush was bristle instead of the worse rubber IMO. The P5 models seemed worse built to me, even tho they were marketed as S4 MAX/S5 MAX/S6 PURE in states. You could really tell it was a lower end platform VERSUS S6/T6. S6 was also the only model to come with the premium/larger quick charger back then (standard on T models in China).. Was a no brainer for nerds like me :D My biggest problem with Roborock is that pricing is a bit WILD for models outside of china, but you would have to pay shipping cost to import a bigger Robot like G20 (s8 ULTRA is a variant of it).. and be forced into Xiaomi APP/region Lock. :( Im glad "P" now serves an alternative purpose instead of just being low end platform. Though one can argue the global Q line is "entry" still. I wouldn't mind importing a chinese roborock if I can get one cheap, regardless of short comings.

If you could do a review/tutorial for the plumbing kit that would be awesome.

i kind of wish q revo kept the camera for navigation. The structure light is not as good. And the remote viewing feature was pretty nice for checking up on pet.

Wow, excellent collection!😱😍

Jamie, I know you probably try not to recommend one robot over the other, but I'm debating between S7 Max Ultra, S8 Pro Ultra and Q Revo for a good while now. I would like least maintenance on the robot, which includes avoiding dock cleaning (minimizing it). I consider Q Revo best at it, as it's the quickest to clean in long term. However, Q Revo and S7 Max Ultra have poor object avoidance, which makes me lean toward S8 Pro Ultra. I would like to schedule daily cleaning and I wouldn't like the need to pick up all the toys around the house beforehand. Is the big price difference justifying the purchase of S8 if I dont need dual or liftable rollers? No carpets, no pets, small toys. I don't want MaxV for privacy reasons.

You just know that there is going to be a S9 Pro Ultra with rotating mops and dual roller brushes next year.

Sounds like you might be in frequent communication with Roborock. Can you please give them feedback of clogged auto empty? It’s such an amazing vacuum except for this one flaw

10:53 yeapp was the main reason why i get the q revo, also less expansive and less parts to break.

I'm hoping the Q Revo will come with a plastic bin for the trash instead of a bag.. similar to the S7 when it came out with a bag first then a plastic bin later.

thanks for explanation the difference between docks

Almost no one covers this properly, thank you! This is the most annoying thing about the S7 MaxV I've been using. Q Revo solution looks better. Also the obstacle avoidance is still not good enough to fully rely on, so you always end up clearing up the floor anyway. So the lack of obstacle avoidance on the Q Revo isn't really a big deal. Only needs a automatic detergent dispenser. The Dreame L10S didn't wash the mops properly so they got dirty. Also it had some issues with the mops falling of when getting stuck (that is maybe the case with Q Revo as well?)

Another great video, Jamie! Curious have you considered getting the plumbing kit for S7 MaxV Ultra dock? I am very curious how well that works for average household use in US.

I have the S7 maxv ultra and cleaning the base really is a bit annoying… Do you know whether the s8 tanks fit the s7 dock? The rubber on the swimmer in my s7 dirt water tank dissolved and I can’t get it anywhere. So I thought maybe the s8 tank would fit as an replacement.

There is not a lot of information on the S7 Max out there. How does it compare to the S7 MaxV and the S8 Pro? I am looking to buy a new vacuum and i think these are my go to choices.

Thanks a lot for the video, very helpful. I wanted to ask you for advice, I have a house on two levels, the sleeping area on the second floor. I was thinking of getting the q revo for the living area which gets more dirty and maybe the "normal" s8 for the sleeping area, so as not to spend too much since it is now around €600. Do you think it might be a good idea?

Only issue with the Q Revo is the self emptying dirt channel has clogged twice. It doesn't like dog hair and is a pain to clear. But the tray is easy to clean like the simple approach. Otherwise working well. The Q Revo also is by far the best looking of these IMO.

do you think roborock will standardise to the rotating mops and Revo style docks? Seems like the dock is way simpler to manage as an end user

I currently own a S6 maxV. I also have a Bernese Mountain dog that sheds alot so I have to empty the distbin daily and sometimes dirt and hair clumps at the dustbin entrance. I'm curious if these docks can properly empty the dustbin without clumps to the entrance of the dirt bags (which will effectivelly block the self emptying feature. Also the S docks spin the rollers when emptying which i hope may free coiled hair around them in the dustbin, can this be an issue with the revo dock, as in more coiled hair?

Q Revo dock is the best.

i had the s7 maxv plus a great machine but i sold it and bought the s7 ultra max for the self cleaning and filling. i only miss the camera it is a nice too have.

Could you please clarify on this part 12:49 of plumbing kit is compatible with the new Roborock S7 MAX Ultra ? Thanks in advance

Can you please compare auto emptying ability? Q revo gets clogged

So is it possible to install the mop cleaner with the double swiper?

are gonna be review of the new T20 Omni?

@jamie.andrews, In this video, you mentioned S7 MaxV robot won't work with s7 Max Ultra dock fully. Is it true vice versa? Will S7 Max robot work with S7 MaxV Ultra dock fully or partially?

Since I have the last-generation Roborock where you can individually purchase the ultra dock, the S7 MaxV Ultra, where on Earth can I find an individual ultra dock?! I have looked high and low. Can I contact Roborock and give them a sob story LOL? ***I really want this feature because the water tank capacity is so hilarious small.

I bought the s7 max ultra. My concern is the water tank in machine is not detachable. Will i be have a problem later on for water residue??? I am using the roborock solution they recommend to put in water and i am using the tap water…

I feel i may need to return my s7 max Ultra and get a Q revo. I have 3 dogs and im afraid of all the mocing parts because hair is a main issue. What would you do in my shoes?

could you please tell me, you have house 260 sqm with almost no carpet, what would you buy? also if I may ask, which one do you like roborock s7maxV or max ultra? Thank you in advance

Is 80ml water capacity enough for 1 run on the q revo? It needs to cover like 30m2

Does Q Revo's dock require frequent manual cleaning or should it be done inbetween every moping cycle? I am debating between Q Revo and S8. Ive seen on a few videos that S7 or S8's station gets pretty gross after some time whereas it looks like Q Revo will look as new for a good while.

I think Q Revo is one of the best looking modern robot vacuums.

Can a vacuum use multiple docks?

Hi. I have 4 cats and 1 dog . 2 kids and 2 adults. I already saw that q revo its not good for animal hair. I was gonna buy that so i thank you for this video. So... If qrevo its not good which one you think its better? I need one that is good with animal hair, a lottt of animal hair and that mops the mud that my dog bring in his paws. Tahks

I can't decide between the QRevo Pro and the S8 Pro Ultra. What's your thoughts?

Which is better mopping wise in your opinion? Q-Revo or S7MaxV?

S7 maxV vs Q Revo. Which would you choose if price was not a factor?

the s8 pro ultra is $1k rn while the q revo is $750. should i go with the s8 on the discounted price

If you have to choose, which would you go with?

I just found out the roborock s8 pro ultra is called roborock g20 in china they sell it for 700 dollar with dedicated space to add the detergents 😢

I have de roborock s7 max ultra

Hallo. I am looking for one these roborock. In your opinion what is your recommendation. And which price tag it is the best buying for each? I found for example the s7 max ultra brand new at 700euros. Is the s8 pro ultra two braces a gimmick or actually work?

The other hole on the right for the Q Revo dock blows air, forcing the debris to the suction hole on the left. It’s similar to the Dreame system. The annoying similarity of these docks is that they don’t have any dock buttons!!!

Is there a robot now without a dust bin , please?

Q Revo is true self-cleaning

Having the different docks being incompatible is such a terrible design philosophy. It has a real Apple vibe. Very anti consumer.

I don’t understand why they didn’t name it Rosie anyone who’s watch the Jetsons clearly should’ve named it, Rosie
