I know what you are thinking: alright it’s just another boring robot vacuum cleaner,
I’m not interested.
But hey wait! I’m here to tell you it’s not just any vacuum cleaner,
because this Roborock S7 comes with a feature that I haven’t seen on many other vacuum cleaners
- That is, it sports a sonic vibrating mop! It vibrates 3000 times per minute!
Much faster than that.
That means it can scrub away the most stubborn dirt according to its official info.
Is that true? Let's find out whether it’s a gimmick or actually
a legit one in this video.
As my friend Cymye and I have already done an unboxing of the Robrock S7, you can check
it out from here if you are interested. Here I’m just sharing my first impressions from
the unboxing. It has a really detailed 5-language user guide. I would say this is by far, the
best one I’ve found for a vacuum cleaner. It has more than 200 pages.
Seems a bit daunting but is really user friendly for beginners. Always read the manual carefully before you start.
Moving to the machine you know this thing is really heavy. What would a normal
vacuum cleaner weigh? 2 or 3 kg? The S7 weighs a whopping 4.7 kg. But you know sometimes
weight means quality. Let's take a closer look.
On top we see a spot clean key, a power key,
and a dock key. In the middle, there is a water tank, an air vent, and a bumper.
Now moving to the bottom, we get to see an omni-directional wheel and charging contacts,
a pre-installed rubber side brush, a main brush, and two main wheels. Yes, that’s
basically all the Roborock S7 has got! I really like the sleek and futuristic design, it’s
definitely not some crappy cheap vacuum cleaners that we normally see on the market, this one
is really well-made and polished.
Enough about all those, let’s check out its cleaning performance. Hold down the power
key to turn on the vacuum cleaner. Open the Roborock App, which you can download from
Google Play or the App Store. Currently it doesn’t support the Mi Home App, hopefully
though it will do later. Click “Add robot vacuum cleaner”, wait for a few seconds
until it shows the Roborock S7, click to connect, choose your Wi-Fi and input your password
and go to next step, wait for a few minutes and you are good to go! But before that you
may want to choose your vacuum power levels, scrub intensity, and mop route etc according
to your own situations.
Without further ado, let’s get started.
To test the cleaning ability, first we sprinkled some coffee powder, paper scraps, rice, beans, and corns
on a low pile carpet. As you can see the 2500pa suction power can easily pick up an average
of 95% of our test materials on its first pass and then everything was picked up on
the second pass. Since it has a good performance on carpet, you wouldn’t surprise that the
S7 will have an even better performance on hard floors. As you would expect, it picked
up all on its first pass.
There is only one problem as we put too much test materials here
some beans got bounced around by the side brush. But I don’t worry about that
as it will finally clean everything for us at the end of the day. What I really want
to test is the sonic mopping ability, will it get rid of that stubborn, dried on dirt
as it claims? First we install the mop onto the S7, then we fill the water tank with water.
The water tank is 300milliliter, the biggest capacity I’ve seen so far, good for those
who have big houses! From our test on first pass it picked up 90% of the dried sauce,
then all cleaned up on a second pass.
I’m really happy with the results. It did a fantastic job. So far, I have no problem
with its cleaning ability and I have to say it’s one of the best user experiences I’ve
tested. Not only because it cleans well but also it’s smart. The Roborock S7 has exclusive
intelligent features like Mop Auto-Lifting and avoiding. when it senses a carpet, the
S7 will lift its mop to vacuum without stopping the cleanup or avoid it (it will not go over the carpet area).
It also has excellent mapping, all thanks to its advanced LiDAR navigation
system. The S7 tirelessly works to map out every nook and cranny of your house to make
a complete layout of your house, that’s why you can set a virtual wall, no-go-zone or zone cleaning.
Speaking of that, I have to talk about the spot cleaning. Once you
press the spot cleaning key, it will start an area of 1.5m square cleaning that’s centered
on the robot. Perfect for cleaning up isolated kitchen messes. The spot cleaning key is also
a lock key, just hold down and it will be locked. Good for families who have pets or toddlers!
For others like anti-hair-tangling brush design, obstacle crossing, auto carpet
boost, the S7 has it all.
I can really go on and on, but I think I will just leave it here and jump directly to my
conclusion. Long story short, if you're looking for the
most technologically advanced, thorough, and versatile robot vacuum that’s also doesn’t
break the bank, this one is perfect for you. It has a fantastic cleaning capability for
all kinds of dirt whether on carpet or hard floors. The sonic and spot cleaning is especially
powerful and interesting to use. It has an intuitive App to let you monitor and customize
everything here. It’s just so easy to use and doesn't require assembly at all. All you
need to do is press the start button and it’s ready to go. All of those features make the
Roborock S7 really outstanding among its peers. As Roborock company is cooperating with Geekbuying
