Best review ever. Gave me all the info I needed instantly with no crap intros, no begging for sub, no stupid unnecessary effects. Well done!!!

[Craig_S]

This channel is second to none. The work you do through summarizing features and extensive real world testing is so appreciated. Thank you, keep up the incredible work!

[dillonwashburn]

I literally only watch this channel for reviews before deciding what to buy ! By far the best channel in this category

Man, I love my S7 MaxV Ultra. Walking barefoot on tile without getting dirt or grime on the bottoms of my feet is really nice.

[fishfoodgeneral]

These things are getting pretty great. I'm hoping the next iteration is designed to potentially connect to a water supply and drain, a la' a washing machine. With additional improvements in battery tech, I could see a not-so-distant future where self-filling and emptying robot vacuums and mops become a home-design consideration alongside the dishwasher or washing machine.

Bummer about the lower power and lackluster dual-brush results, but that level of precise detail is exactly why I watch your reviews!

Dropping the camera is great, and the mopping feature finally looks ready for real world use! Very cool.

[MACEr]

The carpet deep clean score and battery efficiency could be due to Roborock's lack of experience with dual brush rollers. Also, loved the outro!

[LanceEJones]

Bruh. I'm a 39-year old man geeking out on robot vacuums and I have no shame in that game. Brilliant stuff here.

One feature thats important to me is a bagless auto empty dock. I dont want to be stuck in 10 years unable to buy bags because they no longer produce them for that model. And if I was to buy such an expensive item I dont want ongoing 'subscription' costs/additional outlay all the time. Can you please highlight this a little more in the future or with comparison tests. I think one of these robots has this feature but I cant remember which

This channel convinced me to buy the s5 max when it was relatively new and now you've convinced me to upgrade to the s8 ultra. Great review.

[Dagot]

Thank you for the great review. I considered both the S8 and the S7 and went with the S7. With a mix of very low pile carpets and wooden floors in our house, the S7 performs great, and the extra cost of the S8 didn't seem justified. Based on the many reviews on YouTube, the Ecovacs Deebot X1 Omni seemed a great second choice, especially with the much lower price tag. Coming from an S6 that I've used for 3+ years with excellent service, and seeing Roborock's product development helped me decide. The only gripe is there is no warning when the onboard dust bin is full. A drying attachment is available for the S7 for about $100, but since I only mop the entire house once a week, I just remove the mop head, throw it in the washer, and let it air dry. No odor problems. Emptying the dirty water container after a mop job, rinsing it with water and adding a few drops of disinfectant eliminates another source of odor. Based on other reviews, I understood the S8 was better on carpeting, especially in homes with dogs or cats who are always shedding. This review may question that assumption. Since we don't have dogs or cats, that made the S7 a better choice for us. It's a wild market these days with lots of robots out there that do a variety of things. Reviews like this help people choose the model that's best for their needs and that meet their budgets. Thanks again for your hard work and presentation!

The video that everyone was waiting for ! Thank you master of robot vacuum.

[matthewa]

I've been following this channel for years, and its pretty crazy how cool your test have become!

[FutureTechNation]

This industry is expanding and evolving so quickly. Thanks Vacuum Wars for bringing us high quality news and reviews on latest innovations!

[mathiaslorenzen]

I really wish you'd include a test score for getting over door frames (or whatever they are called in English). In Europe, there's a ton of really tall doorframes in older apartments and houses. Some of them being up to 3cm tall, but more often 2cm.

[TheMoosickman]

One thing to note when comparing the S7 MaxV Ultra to the S8 Pro Ultra is that when you did your navigation tests on the S7, the navigation system probably didn't have the navigation system updates that it now has with the S8. Just something to keep in mind with the software updates that older models have gotten in the time since.

This has been my favorite robot vacuum yet, roborock continues to bring innovative new features

BEST REVIEW EVER. Straight to the point. Good visual ! You rock :)

[DiegoSpinola]

The camera on my S7 has saved my butt multiple times when I had to check my home while traveling... I like that feature

[BenjoRealm]

I picked one of these up and set it loose just a couple days ago; I'd ordered it long before this video came out in anticipation of it's awesomeness. Mopping is as mentioned, fantastic! Better than my Braava Jet, so I'm glad I can put that thing away! The vacuuming though, to be honest, my previous Neato D10 did a better job in a single pass on hardwood floors. (I have a Roomba S9+ for the carpets upstairs, and it's fantastic too.) The rest of the features blow the poor D10 out of the water though. Only thing I might add is that this robot sure talks alot! Scares my 2-yr-old daughter!
