![]() ![]() It usually happens after a few weeks - not right off the bat. ![]() I really don' know why - it has a lot more sensors than the S5 did - but the robot gets lost or stuck on a regular basis. ![]() But they didn't help discover any of the shortcomings that reveal themselves over time.įor me, the S7 MaxV has been a lot more hassle than its predecessor. The reviews for the S7 were great - just like this review for the S8. But reviewers rarely spend enough time with the robot to give long-term feedback on these devices. Robot reviews are great in that you get to see the features of a robot. Anyway, to each their own when it comes to the dock. I didn't want any part of the auto-emptying, auto-mop-cleaning dock since the former simply meant you'd have to start buying bags for the robot (cleaning out the onboard dust bin is simple and requires no bag) and the latter meant more mechanicals that could go wrong and, potentially, a stinky mop. Two years later, I was wooed by the Roborock S7 MaxV's suction power - supposedly twice my S5's. It did an excellent job cleaning and, more importantly, after initial setup never had an issue. I was a very happy customer of the Roborock S5 Max. In other words, stop comparing apples and oranges to justify your decision. Also, the $1599 price tag is for the version that has that HUGE docking station - if you buy the regular Roborock, it's no larger than your current Roomba and probably isn't priced any higher either. Not exactly sure what your point is - the Roborock doesn't have any of the issues you have with your Roomba. The peace and quiet of manual cleaning is restful compared to motorized cleaning devices like this, or landscaping power tools. Maybe this ultra-expensive and HUGE alternative would perform better, but at $1,599, we'll just do as we have: get out the broom, dust mop, vacuum or Swiffer, and do it manually. Did I mention that it is loud and annoying when in use? It's the dustiest appliance we own, from disuse. And it has never, ever been able to dock itself and charge. Can't get in corners, gets lost and spins around in a circle, vacuums the same spot over and over until we pick it up and move it. We have a Roomba, and have found it to be virtually useless. ![]()
