Roborock S7
With the Roborock S7, Roborock is sending a new top-of-the-range robot vacuum model into the race again this year. In contrast to last year's Roborock S6 MaxV, they say goodbye to the smart stereo camera and rely on an improved wiping function and solid rubber brush.
Before we look at the Roborock S7 in detail, let's take a look at the technical data and compare them with the Roborock S5 Max and the Roborock S6 Max V.

Solid rubber main brush
The Roborock S7 does not reinvent the vacuum robot, but scores above all through improvements. One of these improvements is the new main brush with a ribbed solid rubber design. Spiral lamellas and better traction ensure that fine and coarse dirt is captured even more effectively.
According to Roborock, the new brush copes even better with annoying hair tangles. At the same time, the brush is more durable and long-lasting. The suction power remains unchanged compared to the Roborock S2.500 MaxV at 6 Pa.
Sonic mop wiping function with VibraRise
The wiping function has so far only been a casual topic for many robotic vacuum cleaners. After the classic water tank and electric water dispenser, Roborock would like to further improve or expand the wiping function. The new Sonic mop wiping function with VibraRise technology promises better wiping results. The mop attached on the underside scrubs the floor with up to 3000 movements per minute. An electronic 300 ml water tank takes care of the precise water delivery.
To ensure that mopping doesn't fail on carpets, Roborock has improved carpet detection. Carpets are now detected with exceptional accuracy using ultrasound. If the vacuum robot moves over a carpet, the new “VibraRise” technology is also activated. VibraRise automatically raises the mop so that vacuuming and parallel wet mopping are possible without interruption.
New app functions
The Roborock app also benefits from the new functions of the Roborock S7. Carpets are now drawn on the room map and the user gets a real-time insight into the wiped and vacuumed areas. Settings for wiping intensity can be specified via the app interface according to user requirements. Functions from previously released Roborock models, such as multi-map management, zone division or smart voice control via Alexa, Google Home and Siri, are also available for the Roborock S7.
Smart suction station
The Roborock auto-emptying station is brand new and only appeared a few months ago. Instead of manually emptying the dust container after each suction process, the dirt ends up in the dust bag of the suction station at the end of the suction process. A 15-cyclone design empties the robot vacuum completely automatically.
The dust bag (6 liters) only needs to be replaced about every 1,8 weeks. This is not only much more convenient than constant emptying by hand, but also particularly allergy-friendly. A multi-stage filter system prevents even the smallest particles with a size of 0,3 micrometers from remaining 99,99% in the container and not being released into the ambient air.

Hello, my S7 arrived last week and I'm very happy with it so far. I use it a lot for wiping and I would like to have spare wipes at home. Does anyone know where to buy suitable wipes? Haven't discovered any on the net yet
PPPs
There is none. I asked the support and they couldn't give me any information. That is just lousy from Roborock and does not speak for quality.
selena
Apparently there will be accessories from May. Still, it's a shame how Roborock approaches the matter. My wipe is almost through ...
Alex
When I click on the offer, it says that the item is no longer available. What am I doing wrong?
Timo
Hi Alex, the offer was sold out pretty quickly. Unfortunately, I don't know how quickly Roborock reacts and increases.
Alex
Okay, thanks for the quick reply. Then I'll wait and see. I have another question about the S7. Do you already know how well it recognizes obstacles compared to the S6 MaxV?
Timo
Unfortunately, I cannot give you an answer to this because we have not yet received a test device. Unfortunately we don't have an S6 MaxV here to check that either.
Alex
It's a shame, thanks anyway.
Peterle
Hello team, when can you expect your test?
Brigitte
I am also very interested.
Timo
Hello, there is currently no further information about the Roborock S7. As soon as there is news, this post will be updated.

Madness, I'm looking forward to it: D. I've been toying with the S5 Max the whole time, but now I'd rather wait and get the S7 :).
Sabine
Hello, do you think the brush of the Roborock S7 can be combined with the other Roborock models? I have the S5 Max and with two daughters in the household, hair is constantly getting caught in the brush. I would be happy if you could try that out. LG
Timo
Hi Sabinchen, unfortunately there is no information available yet. As soon as I know more, I'll include it in the post.
