This is the only review I've seen with the focus on privacy. I really appreciate that. Even better you directly tested out home assistant as that's what I use!

[TechWithBrett]

The best comparison channel on the entire Internet! I cannot figure out how you are able to provide so much useful info, have great real world tests and present it all in a timely manner. Outstanding work!

[Mynervas]

I don’t know how you do it: every time I’m thinking about buying some technology, you upload a video about it within a couple of days! Thank you, very helpful as I haven’t decided on one yet.

Amazing review. All the detail (weighing water tanks, measuring air particulates, etc. ). You just don’t get that anywhere else. Great work!

[kmil]

Great review! You missed a key privacy difference between the MaxV Ultra and the X1 Omni. The Omni docks with it’s camera facing out (viewing your home. The MaxV Ultra docks with the camera facing the dock once it’s done cleaning the mop.

Best comparison I have ever seen. Most tests does not include how the vacuum works without Internet. Huge thanks for that.

[joshua]

Imagine the x1 omni base being able to hook up to a homes plumbing the same way a washing machine does, you would never have to fill or dump the water bins

[quinnlb]

thank you for adding the privacy piece at the end. its something that's also really important to me and people are not often talking about.

[Botanifiles]

I like your scientific methodology, subscribed! Also your privacy concerns match mine and I truly appreciate that, as no other reviewers goes into any depth on that. Also no one else weighed things to the gram, well done, you're a truly great reviewer!

[jonnylee]

Impressive. Pretty in depth comparison, I love your nitpick opinions regarding the water tank handle, it really makes a lot of sense to it.

[sazma]

A HUGE thank you for including the privacy section at the end. I think that discussing these concerns raises awareness on the part of consumers as well as vendors. Kudos.

[dalemccleary]

About to buy and this was the most comprehensive comparison. Really appreciate the honesty. Leaning to S7 before, now confirmed.

[AlexTeo]

the best X1 omni vs S7 MaxV Ultra comparison video. To me the greatest selling point of the X1 over the rest is the auto heating function to dry the mopping pads and that to me is heading more towards full automation. For carpets, I will rather use a carpet cleaner to do the job instead of a robovac.

[FrankGraffagnino]

thank you so much for the local control section at the end!!!! this is fantastic. I have mainly hardwood floors and was about to go purchase the ecovacs when i saw your recommendation... but then when I saw that almost all of that functionality goes away when it is blocked from the internet, that becomes a huge NOPE for me. Manufacturers need to know that cloud connection should be an option for people who don't have the technical skill to use local control, but there should always be an option for local control of a device you own. Thanks again for such a thorough review and helping to educate consumers and pressure manufacturers!!!!

[dupaluba]

It's truly fantastic that you included the privacy and local control since many people are indeed concerned with privacy, I'm doing research before my first purchase of a robotic vacuum and this is the most important factor in my deciding process, even before it's cleaning ability ;)

[StroppyFloppy]

I'm so glad you did the privacy score part at the end, more awareness about that sort of thing needs to be raised.

[Hardening]

Bought the Ecovacs X1 Omni 3 months ago and ended up returning it today for the iRobot J7+.

The problem over time with the auto empty dock/waste water, etc. meant the dust bin on the robot itself would keep a bunch of wet, damp waste product and it is just begging for mold/insects to start breeding. Technically I could avoid this by cleaning/washing it out after every mop/clean, but that really defeats the purpose of all this automatation, especially given how expensive it is.

[guspaz]

A note about the Roomba's cloud requirement: it only supports local control from one source at a time, so either the iRobot app or Home Assistant, but not both at the same time. If you add the Roomba to Home Assistant, the iRobot app will fall back to cloud control, which won't work if you block it. So if you want fully local control, you'll need to pick either the iRobot app or Home Assistant, and if you're OK with the cloud being involved, you can get both.

[timothylewis]

Can't stop watching robot vacuum videos. It's becoming an obsession!

Your carpet is PERFECT for those beautiful lines 🤩
