10 years ago I was watching Super Smash Bros tier lists, now I'm watching Vacuum tier lists... getting old is rough

[reetah]

when I saw the length of the video, I was ready to leave, but it was actually really short and to the point. Thank you for not adding unnecessary details to drag the video! Great, informative video

[EcclesiaToday]

Thank You! The Roborock S7 works really well! Run it on full power all the time, but miss the obstacle avoidance which actually hinders me from running it on a schedule and thus I need to "prepare" the home before starting it.

I had an Roomba I3+. A year later I upgraded to J7+ and very happy with it. I also purchased the Braava Jet to go with the J7. Though I'm happy with the J7, the Braava is just acceptable. Should Have waited to save a few more dollars and purchase the S7 MaxV. I have no carpet, all ceramic tiles. But I love the video, straight to the point. Great Job.

I didn't think I would watch the entire video, but I did! It was quite informative (and since I recently bought a Q7 Max I was curious as to where this robot would end on your list). The list is quite extensive and I have to praise you for that. Though I do miss one of the most popular robots from the past few years (like the Roborock S5, S5 Max, S6 and S6 Pure).

Overall a great video without too much unnecessary details. Because of this you have gained a sub! :D

[junkmail]

Excellent video. No fluff or vague statements. Just the facts! Thank you for your time in making this!

[wyckoffandmcafeefamilypage]

Terrific analyses! Comprehensive and objective; the best reviewer and reviews on the web by far. Your videos deserve 100's of thousands of more views. Bought my Q5+ based on your tests, and I'm extremely pleased. Thank you!!

[fallingwickets]

thanks for the excellent info and easy to find sections from your time stamps....hugely appreciated

[junk]

Cant believe ive never found this channel, thanks for your hard work man, you even made ranking roombas interesting by putting them in tiers lol

[jeylful]

Great video and analysis! Very helpful. Will check out the rest of your vides -- Thank you!

I just picked up a Wyze for $150 to replace our Roomba 692 and I can't believe how much I love this thing. I can only wonder how significant of a leap a vac that costs 10x as much is.

You list the Roborock S& MaxV Ultra as top machine. After 5 month I can confirm that, when it's working as it should, it's a good machine. We paid $1600, incl. extra pads, vac bags etc. After 3 month its flaws began to show: very frequent 'water filter cleaning' became frequent in spite of us keeping a super clean household, no pets, no children, no street shoes. The second biggest problem is the 'bleeding' of the various room or zone colors into other rooms, resulting in RR S7 MaxV Ultra to frantically buzzing to other rooms to 'clean' areas or rooms it's not meant to go; and problem is pervasive with our machine. we have, at least, 9 areas where room colors seep from 1 room into another, or even outside our house walls(!) prompting the RR's frenetic attempts to 'roll there and clean'. Another big problem is its software, suddenly and on its own, changes the assigned docking station to another area in the house, resulting in utter confusion for the RR to find any room and perform any requested service, and only by tricking it and the software, can be, with much patience, reversed. This brings me to the # 1 problem with Roborock I experienced: The Roborock's Customer assistance and help line. Their simple response to the color bleeding or involuntary docking station removal is: "You have to redo your whole house mapping". This, for us, is a problem as we have a 2200 sq.ft. house and various objects get removed when cleaning. Cleaning 1 room at the time, doing this is OK; but not with 10 rooms plus various hallways. All that aside, the question occurs: How come the machine suddenly changes its mapped docking station, but the engineers who developed the software don't know how to undo that . . where does one turn to, to correct those flaws??

Your review videos are "stellar" - I knew very little about vacuuming / mopping robots until I discovered one of your videos and ultimately this channel. Previously I only had heard of Roomba's but had no idea about the sheer amount of other brands in this category. After watching your reviews and videos from others, I settled on the roborock S7 MaxV over the their newer roborock S8 model. Memorial weekend deal for $539.99 and I also opted for with additional 3 year extended warranty ($60.99) offered through Amazon, because of the 1 star reviews and malfunction complaints on pretty much all brands. Thanks for doing such an awesome job on vacuum robots; it saved me a ton of time conducting my own research. Keep it going...

[annav]

Thank you so much
This video saved me a lot of time for researching

[NorrisCheung]

Wow. Awesome comparison video. Best I've seen so far on YouTube. Short and precise without filler. Subscribed to your channel.

My wife got a problem with her leg and cant walk much.. so this video helped me to pick up Roborock S7 maxv and its the best choice ever.. worth the money i say.. it clean very well and we dont need to remove much obstacle.. so my wife can sit very freely.. thank you very much for the review..

[swatjp]

Although the Roborock S4 max was not mention it’s affordable and gets the job down. I would rate it at the tier “S”, it has LiDAR and cleans up the corners well in carpet and wood flooring.
