Roborock Automatic Self-Emptying Base | Comfort and hygiene

This review is dedicated to a striking accessory that is going to cause a lot of talk, the Roborock automatic emptying base, a very interesting gadgets with very interesting qualities, ideal for achieving maximum comfort and hygiene in daily cleaning.

Roborock is a brand that has deservedly earned great prestige in the market, positioning itself as one of the preferred options of buyers looking for quality, features and a reasonable price.

The brand became known as manufacturer of Xiaomi robot vacuum cleaners; The launch of the Xiaomi Vacuum was quite a hits, which would soon be followed by a second version, usually known as Xiaomi Vacuum 2 (and which was actually the Roborock S5 or S50).

In 2019, the company began its landing in Europe, to more closely serve this important market, including the areas of marketing, sales, engineering, customer service and after-sales, and reinforcing direct distribution.

Today, Roborock is one of the main options in both robot vacuum cleaners —with models as prestigious as the S6 MaxV or S7 who co-stars in this review— as in broom vacuum cleaners, where after the success achieved by his H6 has gone on the market H7, an impressive model that includes, as a novelty in the segment, the possibility of using disposable bags, making it ideal for allergy sufferers.

El Roborock S7 was launched on the market a few months ago, but the brand "hid" an important characteristic, the possibility of using it with an automatic emptying base (Auto-Empty Dock or AED), which would turn it into a "Roborock S7+." Now we can find this new accessory, and at Mi Aspiradora we have tested it to tell you everything in this in-depth review.

The base can be purchased separately, in black and white colors - just like the robot itself - and means an important step forward in the search for maximum comfort, since it allows us to forget about dirt for more than a month (up to 6 weeks, depending on the data provided by the brand).

The base will be available in Europe from July 15, 2021, initially to be purchased separately. The brand plans to launch a special package, which includes the S7 and the Automatic Empty Base, and which will be available later this year.

Advantages of the Roborock Self-Emptying Base

The Roborock S7 is not the first robot with automatic emptying base; We have already analyzed some models, from the pioneer, the Roomba i7 +, and other iRobot models, such as the S9 + or the i3 +, passing through other outstanding models, such as the Proscenic M7 Pro y M8 Pro, Honiture Q6, Roidmi Eve More, Viomi s9 y Alpha UV S9, Ultenic T10 or Netbot LS27 —all of them with a bag in the tank— or the Shark IQ Robot RV1000SEU, which is used without a bag.

Easier maintenance

This new Roborock accessory allows the robot to empty itself automatically when necessary, and its studied design uses the main brush of the robot as an exit door for the air flow, to achieve better performance when collecting waste, even the heaviest waste.

Thus, Robot maintenance is greatly reduced, since you don't have to worry about emptying the robot every so often, making cleaning even more comfortable, living up to its slogan Clean often, empty rarely (cleans often, empties rarely).

With or without bag, you choose

Capacity varies slightly depending on system used: 1,5 liters if used without a bag and 1,8 with the bag (since it makes better use of the interior space, as it does not have the cyclone). In any case, enough space to not have to deal with emptying for weeks.

The bags can be purchased in different packs; Normally, the greater the number of units, the better we can get a price, which can be between 2 and 4 euros, depending on the quantity and the offers there are, a quite affordable price, given its duration and the comfort that this system provides.

Commissioning of the self-emptying base

The base comes disassembled, but assembly does not present any complications.. At the bottom of the base, underneath, there is a screwdriver that is used to tighten the screws, which are already placed in their corresponding places.

Simply You have to place the upper part fitting it into the lower part, and tighten the screws. Next, we can put the tank with the cyclone (if we want to work without a bag), or attach the bag, previously removing the cyclone.

To put the bag, We simply have to insert it into the accessory that is included and insert it into the tank, turning slightly at the end so that it stays in place, and checking that the opening of the bag matches that of the tank.

Moreover, The base includes a dust container to put on the robot, which is very similar to the one that comes standard with the Roborock S7, but with the particularity that it has a small hole on the side, with a gate through which the air flow will pass.

Therefore, in addition to changing the deposit You have to remove a plastic plate on the inside of the robot, where the container is housed, which is indicated with an arrow (it says Air inlet, or air channel).

The base has a fairly long cable, 1,8 meters, although what is left can be comfortably placed in a cable reel that is on the back.

Once all this is done, you simply have to place the tank back on the base, and we can start working. Upon entering the Roborock application, we see that it has already detected that it is on an automatic emptying base, and offers us some tips for use, in addition to a new option appearing on the main screen, Empty the dust container, to do it manually.

When entering the robot configuration, we can see a self-emptying base settings section, in which we can establish if we want the robot to empty automatically (by default, this option is activated).

When the robot returns to base, for a few seconds we will hear a not very loud noise for a few seconds, similar to that of a new generation vacuum cleaner, while the base empties the robot's tank.
