360 S7: What's in the box

360 S7 vs 360 S6

The 360 ​​S7 vacuum cleaner not only shares the look, but also many features with its predecessor, the S6.

Both have a laser-based navigation system, which also includes multiple sensors and an infrared sensor., which allows them to refine even more in cleaning corners, corners, and around the legs of furniture.

In the case of the S7, the laser sensor is located in a more central position, while in the S6 it was more on the edge. The new design also allows expand the tank size, which goes from 400 milliliters in the S6 to 570 in the S7.

Also, the two robots have an autonomy of 120 minutes, allowing them to clean between 120 and 150 square meters, and both include loading and continuing, so if they don't finish cleaning, they go to the base and once recharged, they continue where they left off.

One of the main improvements that the 360 ​​S7 incorporates is that the suction power is greater. Compared to the notable 1.800 Pascals of the S6, the S7 offers 2.000 Pascals, maintaining the same noise level.

Moreover, the 360 ​​S7 includes room cleaning, a functionality that is very practical and comfortable when defining what we want to clean.

As well includes the possibility of being managed by voice commands, currently being compatible with Alexa (but not with Google Home, at least, for now).

As for the ability to overcome obstacles, it has also been improved; the S6 exceeds heights of up to 1,7 centimeters, while the S7 is capable of exceeding up to 2 centimeters.

As a curiosity, the S6 is one of the few high-end models that include two side brushes, while the S7 has only one. In high-end robots this is common because they have advanced navigation systems, which allow them to know their location and orientation, so they know how to clean by orienting the brush in the appropriate way.

360 S7 vs Roborock S6 vs Roborock S5

Many users compare 360 ​​robots with those from Roborock, both those it manufactures for Xiaomi and those it markets under its brand.

The 360 ​​S6 had strong similarities to the Roborock S5 (also known as the Xiaomi Vacuum 2), while the 360 ​​S7 raises the bar a little higher, matching in many ways with new-generation models such as the Roborock S6 (and surpassing it in some). aspects).

These robots have a very similar appearance, not only in size, elegant appearance and robustness, but also in their advanced navigation system, high suction power and various functionalities that they incorporate.

The navigation system is laser-based in all three cases, as can be seen by the turret that protrudes from the robot. This causes these robots to be a little taller than others that lack it, around 9,6 centimeters in the case of the Roborock and 10 centimeters in the case of the 360 ​​S7.

On the other hand, The S7 includes room cleaning, like the Roborock S6 (an aspect that the Roborock S5 did not incorporate), and also surpasses the models from the Xiaomi subsidiary in the number of maps it is capable of handling, since the Roborock only allows one map.

Regarding suction power, the 3 robots reach 2.000 Pascals, so they do a good job on all types of surfaces (the 360 ​​S6 reached 1.800).

In the autonomy section, the Roborocks take the cake, since their 5.200 mAh battery allows them to reach 150 minutes, compared to 120 for the 360 ​​devices.

The tank of the 360 ​​S7 is somewhat larger than that of its competitors, since it reaches 570 milliliters, compared to the 480 of Roborock's.

Regarding the price, The 360 ​​S7 can be obtained for a price less than 400 euros (and even 350), so it is more in line with the Roborock S5, while the Roborock S6, which would be more properly its competition, costs over 500 euros.

Below, we show you a comparison table of these models, as well as the predecessor of the S7, the 360 ​​S6, so you can see which one is best for you:

360 S7: commissioning

As usual, a long-term charge is recommended before putting the robot to work for the first time (for example, leaving it charging overnight). Subsequently, it will take about three and a half hours to fully charge it, providing a range of up to 110-120 minutes.

It is best to locate the charging base in a central location in the house, and in an area where the robot has room to maneuver. However, this is not absolutely necessary, since the 360 ​​S7 has an advanced navigation system, so it moves with great precision in areas where there is little space.

In addition, Its charging base has a wide infrared connection, which allows you to guide the robot with great precision until it reaches it.

The S7 is manageable using the buttons on the top, although we recommend, to get the most out of it, operating it using your mobile phone through the 360 ​​app.

Installing the app and Wi-Fi connection

The 360Smart app is available for iOS and Android. The app is not available in Spanish, it is in English, so some users may not feel comfortable. However, it is intuitive and easy to use.

On the other hand, when choosing the Wi-Fi connection, as is common in most robots, you have to choose the 2,4 GHz one. If your router is dual, you will have two networks, one 2,4 and another 5 GHz (which can support 5G or similar); You should choose the 2,4.

Once the app is installed, you will have to create a 360 account and log in. The application itself guides us in the installation process, which is simple. It is advisable for this first connection to place the robot near the router, to facilitate the process.

How the 360 ​​S7 works

The first time the robot is put to work, it will create a map of the house. Later, this map can be used for advanced functions, such as cleaning zones, restricted areas, or cleaning by room.

Also, if your home has several floors or you want to use the robot to clean more than one house, no problem! The 360 ​​S7 has the ability to save several different maps.

The robot will start by cleaning the contours of each room, and then fill them in. If the room is large, you can divide it into quadrants, which you will clean systematically.

The movements of the 360 ​​S7 are fluid and orderly. The robot moves quickly and efficiently, cleaning large surfaces in a short time, at a speed of one square meter per minute, or even more (depending on the size, shape and obstacles there are).

Its multiple sensors and powerful processor allow you to make decisions in real time, carefully surrounding furniture legs to avoid collisions, or detecting cases in which it can happen (for example, in the case of sheets or curtains).

As usual in high-end robots, It has an automatic turbo on carpets, so that it automatically increases the power when it detects that it is over one.

In addition, Its central brush is self-adjusting, so that it allows it to adapt to the irregularities that may exist on each surface.

Moreover, Its ability to overcome obstacles has been increased by up to 2 centimeters, so it has no problems with carpets of a certain thickness.

The 360 ​​S7 has 3 power levels. In the quiet setting, it barely emits noise, about 50 decibels, and reaches 800 Pascals of power, being enough for daily cleaning of hard floors.

At the medium level (Automatic), it provides a notable 1.300 Pascals, enough to clean all types of surfaces under normal conditions.

And when the level of dirt is greater, or when we want a higher degree of cleanliness, we have Turbo mode (Max), which reaches 2.000 Pascals. It is the mode that is activated automatically when the robot climbs onto a carpet. In it, noise is kept at an acceptable level, below 65 decibels.

The lithium battery gives the S7 a autonomy of about 120 minutes, enough to clean between 120 and 150 square meters (or up to 180, depending on the brand).

However, as is common in high-end robots, has loading and continuation; This way, if it doesn't finish cleaning the entire house, it will return to the base and, once loaded, it will resume cleaning where it left off, until it is complete.

As for the high efficiency filter, it is similar to that of the Xiaomi Vacuum 2, since it is washable, but achieves an efficiency of 95% in capturing dust microparticles.

What functions does the app include?

Through the application, we can control the robot whenever we want and from wherever we are., simply by having an Internet connection available on your mobile. This provides great convenience and versatility, since we can operate it from the street, at work or from a cafeteria, for example.

Of course, We can also program the S7 to execute the tasks on the days and times that we tell it to do., in a very simple way, similar to how you set an alarm on your cell phone.

The S7 allows establish areas that we want to clean, marking them directly on the app's map, and set restricted areas, which we do not want the robot to access.

As well includes room cleaning. Once the robot creates a map, it interprets the rooms that the house has, which we can define and give them whatever name we consider. This way, if we want, for example, him to clean the kitchen and the hallway, we will simply have to tell him.

As a curiosity, As with Xiaomi devices, it is possible to "share" the robot, so that there are several users that they can handle it.

360 S7: scrubbing

The 360 ​​S7 is a multifunction robot, which includes mopping and scrubbing. In this way, we save time, money and storage space, since with a single device we can perform various tasks.

The mop can also be used dry. This is particularly useful when cleaning hard floors, where it helps trap dust even better, even if it sticks a little to the floor.

When cleaning varnished wooden floors, it may be interesting to slightly moisten the mop with a specific spray., so that we will not only get a floor clean of dust, but also shiny and fragrant.

As for scrubbing, it is sufficient for daily cleaning, thanks to the combined action of water and the microfiber mop.

The 360 ​​S7 automatically detects when the scrubbing tank is installed, which has a capacity of about 150 milliliters. It is not an excessive capacity, although it is in line with the Roborock S6, and it is more than enough to clean one or even several rooms (but not a medium-sized home).

The 360 ​​S7 blocks the water outlet if it is stopped, to avoid flooding the soil. However, its scrubbing system is not excessively sophisticated, and is below other models on the market, such as the Conga or the Deebot Ozmo, but it can be used to clean for the day.

When scrubbing, carpets can be marked as restricted areas, to prevent the robot from climbing on them and getting them wet.. When you finish mopping and return to the base, you should remove the water tank and the wet mop to prevent it from continuing to wet the floor.
