Roborock S7 MaxV offers top-tier cleaning and navigation with dual-spectrum mapping. While it excels at bare floor cleaning and advanced mopping, the high cost and limited liquid mopping should be considered. The lack of HEPA filtration disappoints.

Consensus
our Verdict
The Roborock S7 MaxV delivers on its promise of a convenient cleaning experience. Navigation is advanced with dual-spectrum mapping, precise movement, and obstacle avoidance. Noise is average at 65 dB, and cleaning efficiency is over 91% on mixed surfaces. The tested 5100 Pa suction rating is good. Battery life is an impressive 180 minutes. However, pet hair pickup is just 58% on carpets. Mopping is effective but leaves wet areas. Its intuitive, convenient app offers 3D mapping, no-go zones, and video calling.
The S7 MaxV’s mop pad and debris bag replacement costs and upfront price are downsides, but its ultra-sonic vibrating mop makes it a compelling choice for those seeking a top-tier robot vacuum and mop. The S8+ lacks a HEPA filter and doesn’t filter out allergens.
ReasonS to Buy
- Advanced navigation with LIDAR and 3D scanning
- Exceptional bare floor cleaning performance for debris and pet hair
- Effective ultrasonic mopping for tackling dried-on stains

Reason to Avoid

- Poor air filtration
- Lacks automatic water tank refilling
