I wouldn't have noticed that you did anything different if you hadn't mentioned it. It was all very effective though and did a great job conveying exactly what you were talking about at the time.

Much improved

@@big-ted4065 Awesome!

@@JevVan Thanks!

So good i didn't notice it. That's how it's meant to be though.

Mop/vacuum.. that helped me rationalize it better. You're welcome =)

@@OviWanKeno9i One month update: To be fair, it's a pretty phenomenal mop/vacuum. Would buy again

@@xerojer which one

@@xerojer I bought the brava m6 based of his comments but returned it. It was literally comical how stupid it was ramming into things and spraying the walls and furniture. It barely cleaned too

Based on who’s comments? I never suggested the braava m6.

Simple, yet brilliant. This might actually make the S7 worth it, for me!

I do that sometimes and I also use a mist bottle filled with cleaning detergent to spay the areas with hardwood before the cleaning.

at that point I will be finished with manual mopping already for a $5.99 investment into a manual mop + a free workout LOL

I have an interesting tip too. I have Roborock S5 Max for over a year now and I use cleaning detergent everytime. I put it into water tank with water heated up to 80°C and use 2x runs on every room. The cleaning works pretty good, the robot is not damaged in any way even after a whole year of using and no component had be replaced yet. The point is which detergent do you use I think. I use Sanytol which doesn't contain chlorine and other aggressive chemicals and I think that's the trick for safe usage with Roborock robot vacuum cleaners.

@@SgtIdontcare Same. I have an S7 and I add a capful of fabuloso to the water tank since it’s not acidic or too strong. I think you would only run into issues if you’re using bleach or harsh chemicals. Who would mop with just water? Lol

I think you will be very happy with the S7.

My Narwal stopped working after a few months, with a check clean water tank error. It is way too overpriced for it to fail after only a few months.

@@clattanzio 16% of their reviews on Amazon are 1-star. Sounds like they have some serious quality control issues.

My gosh the chinese companies dominate the automatic robot cleaning industry. Well may be I'd consider buying a Roborock S7+

How do you like it? We have 2700 sq ft carpet, tile and vinyl. One Persian cat and 1 girl. Concerned about pet hair and ability to clean carpets. Any issues with emptying the dirt bin or hair breaking or getting stuck on rollers etc? How is the maintenance?

Depends also on where you live and who you live with, and heavily depens on your type of floor.

@@kirakira9906 - Very True. For us, we have a modest tile section of the house and use a J7+ for 2100 sq ft home vacuuming and the Brava M6 for the mopping on ~1000-1200 sq ft. Would love an all-in-one vacuum that does both well, but one doesn't exist just yet. They either are amazing at vacuuming and poor at mopping or vice versa.

I'll be doing an updated review shortly which will include the Narwal Freo.

Thank you. I will look forward to it.

The Swiffer wet mop liquid works without issues too. The S7 with the Mr Clean branded Swiffer stuff is perfect floors.

I've used cleaning products on my roborock S5 max for over a year. No issues.

@@JonathanRootD i used floor celaner one time and it clogged attachment :( but I managed to clean it with vinegar

Ive found that some of the all-round-cleaning solution I put into my S3 would very rapidly gum up the little ceramic filter things that sit between the reservoir and the pad (good thing they are cheap and replacable). Havnt experimented with my S7 yet; if I do have any spots of concern I tend to just spray them manually and give them some time to soak; very effective and dont need to drag some funny smelling substance through my entire house. I like the smell of vinegar but im not sure what itd do to my tiles and grout in the long term. Its true the older style S3 mopping is kindof a joke; but I run it on my second floor now where its just bedrooms, and that works alright. Wont get any hard stains but dragging a wet cloth around will catch that fine static dust that refuses to get sucked up otherwise. On the first floor, with a front door, yard door, kitchen, and dinner table with two todlers, the S3 mopping isnt really worth bothering with. But I find the S7 a real lifesaver. Dont know what id do anymore without automatic mopping. Though on a busy day mopping once is hardly enough to get down to that 'the mopping pad would come out clean if id run it again' level. Perhaps im one of those crazy people who is on the market for adding a Narwal on top of that. Does seem like a solid machine and my first floor is continuous tile anyway.

guys, I’ll tell you a secret. instead of putting detergent in the water container, put it directly on the cloth. Easy and no clog issue

None of these vacuums had any issue with the 1/4" thresholds in my house, and the Ecovacs and Roborock were also all able to traverse a 1/2" yoga mat without issue. The Narwal did push around the yoga mat, but it may have been able to cross it if it was secured to the ground.

the M6 can't climb because it thinks thresholds are carpets, therefore, going away from it. There is a threshold mode now, which disables the carpet detection wherever you put the virtual box at.

I have bought the S5 Max November 2020, and honesty it's a great vacuum and a pretty decent mop cleaner, so this ca just be a ton better with the rubbing feature. I'd go with it too and I might since my house is on two floors.

What did you decide on? How do you like it? We have 2700 sq ft carpet, tile and vinyl. One Persian cat and 1 girl. Concerned about pet hair and ability to clean carpets. Any issues with emptying the dirt bin or hair breaking or getting stuck on rollers etc? How is the maintenance?

@@shanew7361 I ended up with the S7. I used it without the auto empty station for a month and emptied the dust bin after each vacuum session. It's pretty simple to do and you can rinse the bin with water. Now I have the auto empty station and don't do that any longer. I still check to make sure nothing has gotten caught in the filter, which happens from time to time, but it's pretty simple. As far as long hair goes, I haven't had any issues. No problems with anything getting stuck in the roller. I really do like the mopping. You should wet the mop pad before hand, otherwise it doesn't mop as well. All in all, it's more fun than vacuuming with an upright. And in the future when our elderly cats are gone, I can put it on an automated schedule.

@@Mephmt Do you utilize the bags in the outside auto dock bin?

@@shanew7361 If you mean, do I use the bag? Yes. I wasn't aware that you could use it without the bag. Sounds messy.

I've never used the M6, but I've read and watched a bunch of reviews that say it's 1) Not able to cross even the smallest of thresholds and 2) Really best for single room mopping, not whole house. Also, you have to consider that it's just a mop, not a mop and vacuum so you'd need a separate vacuum.

@@TheHookUp i have the m6, it makes all my house, 130m2 but it's true about the first point

You use the cloud initially, then there is an option to capture the token for local control.

yep, just put out this video: ukposts.info/have/v-deo/h3VhpYqme3iXxJs.html

I owned one Dyson in my life and it was the biggest pofs vacuum I ever owned.

2030😊😊😊

oh can check out the ecovacs N9+ if you have the chance

I haven't, Adam's tech reviews has some good content on them though.

@@TheHookUp Thank you !!

G10 looks amazing, but I’m not sure you can actually buy it yet.

How so? I can't find any homekit info on it.

@@TheHookUp there are siri shorctcuts available in the app, you can set up them as you want, selective room cleaning, all the functions.

@@Tommeehr Gotcha, I think those are only available in the Roborock version of the app. I'm using MiHome because there is a better home assistant integration.

@@TheHookUp correct, but with S7 siri is supported out of the box and after setup you can hide roborock app and not use it. I am just saying this because from the video, apple users can think that it is not siri capable, but it is, and that is very important for some users.

I love this feature when emptying the dustbin. I say Hey siri, empty the dustbin and the S6 meets me at the trashcan for dustbin maintenance.

Wasn't around at the time, I reviewed it in this video: ukposts.info/have/v-deo/h3VhpYqme3iXxJs.html

It's just a 3d printed mount from thingaverse

Lots of money for not having an auto empty base.
