Roborock It is one of the leaders in the segment and one of the most prestigious brands on the market.. Initially known for being the manufacturer of Xiaomi robots, the enormous success of the Roborock S5 or S50 (commonly known as Xiaomi Vacuum 2) made its products an object of desire for many users.
In 2019 the company landed in Europe to provide a more direct service to its customers., especially in the German, French and Spanish markets, covering the areas of marketing, sales, engineering, customer service and after-sales, and reinforcing direct distribution.
Since then, Each model of the brand has demonstrated great quality in both construction and functionality, with devices loaded with technology and features. such as S6, S6 MaxV (with artificial intelligence), the S7 (its first robot with sonic scrubbing and self-emptying base) and now the new Roborock S7 MaxV, a super advanced and complete machine, which is at the forefront in many aspects, requiring much less work from the user.
As Richard Chang, founder and CEO of the company, explained: «Contrary to popular belief, Robot vacuum cleaners still require high user intervention, both in terms of maintenance and operation.
The new S7 MaxV can identify and adapt to objects in your environment to interact with them in the most appropriate way and empty yourself and continue working until your work is completed, so, as Chang indicates, "a step forward is taken towards true autonomy in floor cleaning."
This model can be purchased with a standard charging base or with the very special 3-in-1 base (in which case we are talking about the S7 Max Ultra). It is also compatible with Roborock's "normal" self-emptying base (combination called S7 MaxV Plus).

Start up
The start-up of this robot is similar to that of other models. We simply have to fully charge your battery, preferably locating the charging base in a place where the robot has room to maneuver, although given the great precision of its movements, this is not strictly necessary.
Like other models of the brand, the Roborock S7 MaxV comes equipped with a large 5.200 mAh lithium battery, which provides it with a autonomy of up to 180 minutes, enough to clean large rooms with a single charge; The charging time is between 5 and 6 hours.
Of course, has loading and continuation, so if it doesn't finish, it returns to base and then resumes cleaning where it left off to finish it.
Furthermore, thanks to the high efficiency with which it moves, the Roborock S7 MaxV is capable of cleaning 1 m2 per minute or even more, so With this autonomy it can cover enormous surfaces (between 200 and 300 m2).
As usual, the robot is manageable using the buttons on the top, through voice commands (compatible with Alexa and Google Home) and using a mobile app. The application being the best way to take full advantage of its advanced functions.
Installing the app
The Roborock S7 MaxV can be controlled from the classic Mi Home from Xiaomi or from Roborock's own application, although It is best to use the latter, which is more specific and adapted to the device itself., and where you can receive the latest features that the brand is creating.
The application is available for iOS and Android, and once installed and created an account, if you do not have one, It will guide us step by step in the installation process, in a simple and intuitive way.
It is recommended in this first configuration process place both the robot and the mobile phone near the router through which they are going to connect, to promote connectivity.
Once installed, We can control the robot whenever we want and wherever we are., providing great comfort and versatility.
To access some advanced functions it is necessary to have a map of the house (the Roborock S7 MaxV can save up to 4 different maps), so The first thing we will do is map the house, putting it to clean from the charging base and leaving the doors open for it to access the rooms.
How the Roborock S7 MaxV works
The Roborock S7 MaxV is a high-end robot with very high performance in all sections, in addition to providing maximum comfort thanks to its new Emptying, Washing and Filling Base.
Power
One of the sections that the brand has improved compared to previous models is suction capacity. The new Roborock S7 MaxV is a very powerful robot, capable of capturing all types of dirt wherever it is found.
The Roborock S7 MaxV reaches 5.100 Pascals of suction power, a figure that more than doubles the already notable 2.500 of the S7 or S6 MaxV, achieving extremely high efficiency when capturing all types of dirt, dust, hair, crumbs, sand, cereals and other particles.
Suitable for homes with pets
As usual, through the application we can choose between four power levels, achieving high efficiency from the first, in which the robot is quite silent.
In addition, we must bear in mind that the robot has automatic turbo on carpets, so we generally do not need to set a power that is too high, unless it is to pick up heavier dirt.
Brushes
As is usual in high-end robots, It has a single side brush (5 arms), since thanks to its highly advanced navigation system, the robot always knows where it is, where it has passed and where it has not, so it does not need to have two brushes like less sophisticated devices.
For its part, The central brush is similar to that of the Roborock S7, a new generation brush, with rubber grooves, which removes dirt well and works with high effectiveness on all types of surfaces.
In addition, The brush is floating, allowing it to adapt to the irregularities of the terrain and always stick to the ground., achieving a greater absorption capacity.
Reactive AI 2.0 navigation system
Another outstanding aspect of the Roborock S7 MaxV is its navigation system, which combines various technologies to offer even more precise operation adapted to the environment, further perfecting the brand's previous models, widely recognized for their good performance.
The Roborock S7 MaxV It combines LDS laser navigation with a 3D structured light system and an RGB HD camera, to which a new processing system and an extensive database are added, to recognize objects more accurately and quickly adapt to the situation, regardless of lighting conditions.
3D structured light scanning uses a pattern projected onto a scene and uses pattern deformation to precisely define the contours of the obstacle, which, in combination with its new neural processing unit, allows it to recognize objects and learn over time to increasingly improve interaction with the environment, being faster and more precise.
This system also allows you to identify furniture or tables in the app itself (and see the map in 3D), so we can, for example, start a cleaning in that area by only touching the corresponding icon on the map that we see on the mobile.
object identification
This technology provides the robot with greater intelligence, so is capable of identifying soil materials and proposing cleaning patterns (cleaning order, suction power and scrubbing intensity) depending on them.
Additionally, the Roborock S7 MaxV automatically recognizes living rooms, bedrooms and bathrooms, so can recommend an ideal cleaning order based on room typeFor example, let the bedrooms go first and the bathrooms last, adjusting the cleaning parameters in each case.
The data collected by the robot is not shared or stored, so there is no problem regarding privacy, aspects certified by the prestigious independent German institute TÜV Rheinland.
VibraRise Scrubbing
The successful technology that has placed the Roborock S7 at the forefront in this section is also included in the S7 Max. VibraRise technology combines several aspects to achieve the best scrubbing:
Ideal for homes with a lot of life
The Emptying, Washing and Filling tank, maximum comfort
This complement deserves a special highlight for the plus comfort and versatility that it provides, allowing this robot to offer maximum autonomy in its use.
This new base charging does it all:
To achieve this impressive performance, The Emptying, Washing and Filling Base has three compartments:
