Surely the price can shock you a little. Those almost 1,400 euros for the Roborock S7 MaxV Ultra They may seem like too much for a vacuum cleaner, but we are facing the most complete solution on the market, and most importantly, the most autonomous. It is capable of vacuuming and scrubbing, without the need for human intervention, at least until the base tanks are filled.

The key to any robot vacuum cleaner, in its autonomy, that is, its ability to make us forget that it exists. We always talk about it in the tests we do, with the current level of technology, the battery, even the suction level are not that relevant if they can go through the same place countless times a day, the result will always be good.

Although the S7 MaxV has improved by 90% suction compared to its predecessor, cutting the time needed to cover the entire surface and obviously giving a more efficient result.

Robot vacuum cleaners, after months of use, the most and the least, end up getting stuck or lost in the house from time to time, but this has not happened to us with the Roborock S7 MaxV, which is very capable of navigating between rooms, no matter how many obstacles there are.

This is due to all the sensors it incorporates, which are almost an exaggeration, the LIDAR for PreciSense navigation, a reactive eye 3.0 camera and another RGB camera, which is used to calculate the size and distance of objects, although it does not work in the dark. very well, but it solves it with an LED light that turns on when necessary. Most robot vacuums have one or two sensors, the S7 MaxV has three. Artificial intelligence is capable of recognize chairs, shoes, cables and other household objectsto be able to dodge them permanently, there are some that escape him, such as very small cables like those of the headphones.

Many manufacturers have been trying to incorporate mopping in the same device as vacuuming for a long time, but it usually leads to many problems that Roborock has solved in its S7 MaxV. The first of them is the size of the water tank, which is usually very small since the space is very limited by the suction tank, that’s why Roborock has included it in the base, so the S7 MaxV returns and collects clean water without the need to carry large quantities.

The another problem solved, it’s the mop, which usually gets dirty on the first pass, which clearly reduces the autonomy of any robot vacuum cleaner, the base of the S7 includes some brushes to clean it, and it does it very well, almost by magic. The third and last problem that two-in-one vacuum cleaners usually have are carpets, the mop has to be attached to the floor, and carpets and minor obstacles are always a problem, but the S7 MaxV, thanks to ultrasound, detects and lifts them the mop

not perfect

The robot is obviously not perfect. Beyond the price, beyond the reach of most mortals, the base’s dirty water tank usually starts to smell bad very quickly, so it is necessary to empty it regularly. The base, moreover, is huge, the largest on the market, since it has three tanks, one for vacuuming, one for clean water and one for dirty water, and we have sometimes found the mop bent at the corners, but it easy fix.

The vacuum cleaner has some curious features, the kind that make life easier. The 3D mapping process is efficient, and it even detects the furniture in the room and knows if we are in the kitchen, bathroom or living room, so the labeling is automatic.

It is possible to direct it remotely from the application, which is quite intuitive, as if it were a video game, and thanks to the camera and microphone, make video calls through the S7 MaxV, something fun if you want to talk to your pet. Another of the funniest features is that the S7 can spread love to the rest of the vacuum cleaners in the house, that is, if it comes across any other vacuum cleaner, whatever brand it is, it will approach it and give it some loving kisses.

The application is correct, it allows you to invite other members of the household in a simple way, access the controls of the S7 MaxV, and the curious 3D mapping. In conclusion, we have tested dozens of robot vacuum cleaners in recent years, and the Roborock S7 MaxV is the most complete and intelligent currently, with two big buts, the price and the huge base for which you have to have room.
