I appreciate that the mop pad and vacuum filter are both permanent and washable (though I do wish they included more than one of each in the box so that the bot could operate while the first set was drying). Hopefully we'll see that later this year. Roborock teases a self-emptying system that the S7 will be compatible with on their website, but it's not yet offered. That bin is also surprisingly small given how large the unit itself is. You do still have to empty the bin manually, which is a bit of a pain. If it had the dual-camera system, it would be the ultimate "set it and forget it" robocleaner. The S7 is pretty good at keeping itself from getting stuck but it isn’t foolproof - it had issues with shoes and my treadmill. That bot is able to see and avoid common robovac obstacles, like cords and shoes waste. My only real issue with the Roborock S7 is that it doesn't use the dual-camera system of its predecessor, the S6 MaxV. And when you pop the mopping pad off to clean it at the end of the cycle for the first time, you'll likely be as grossed out as I was seeing how much dirt it scrubbed off your floors. It knows where it's cleaned and has a plan to cover the entire room. The mop pad doesn't quite cover as much area as you expect it to, but the S7's intelligent back and forth tracking mostly takes care of this, overlapping its previous path in a room. ![]() ![]() The floating rubber brush is self-adjusting on multi-level surfaces and keeps itself mostly free of tangles (I never had to clear away hair in my hair-tumbleweed prone home). The S7 is an efficient cleaner, grabbing plenty of dirt and scrubbing away a fair amount of grime.
