Ecovacs Deebot N8 Pro vs Roborock S7

There's a lot to cover with this one, so links in the description and let's get started. Let's get you oriented with the model numbers first, i am tes...

We’ve had the Roborock S7 for 7 weeks on our main floor which is all hardwood and a few area rugs. I’m currently trial running several auto-empty vacs for our upstairs which has our 4 bedrooms and all carpet. Currently a few weeks into the Roomba S9+ with empty bin and let me just say… while it does a good job picking up on our low rise carpet, the app and technology feels about 5 years behind the Roborock tech and app. If anyone cares about specifics feel free to ask but I’m constantly surprised how poor the app and tech work

Thanks to its strong suction power, the N8 Pro+ does an excellent job of collecting pet fur, human hair, dust, and debris. When vacuuming, it always automatically increases its suction power over carpeting, a welcome feature not available on the Shark IQ Robot Self-Empty XL R101AE. While vacuuming carpet, it puts out around 60dB of sound and leaves straight, satisfying vacuum lines behind.

This thing vacuums so much faster and better than the irobot and the mopping feature is amazing compared to the braava m6. It mops and scrubs stains the m6 couldn't in a faster time.

I can't seem to find one that checks my boxes. The one I see recommended the most on here is the Ecovacs deebot, but I tried that and it sucked.

Roborock recommends cleaning this every two weeks, so that's something I'll look to do more often. The sensors need to be wiped clean after approximat...

It’s not perfect - this is a low suction robot, and while the dual rollers help, I have to run it daily to keep the house clean. If I don’t run it for a few days, it requires multiple passes to get everything. It’s not great for deep cleaning carpets and mats. The round shape is not great at getting corners, although it is one of the most thorough robots I’ve owned in terms of trying to get in everywhere and not giving up right away

Waiting for this thing to break down which probably won’t be a long time from now so I can purchase a upgraded eufy. Roborock suction isint that great either. I recently ordered a replacement battery for my eufy because the Roborock wasn’t doing a good job and put them to work at the same time for the same amount of time and looked at which one collected more dirt and take a wild guess which one did it better. Yep the less then $200 4 year old eufy

I bought this because I just couldn’t pull the trigger on a $800-$1000 unit. I think I got what I paid for.

Theyre just better, for less money

Nope. Get a thin wire, bend a tiny hook on the end and fish that hairball out. Crap design.

This is not true. If you want your Roborock S7 to perform multiple passes in some or all rooms, YOU will have to do so manually in the app. This is not something that can be done via the Schedule-Menu as of 2022-03-22. Bin design is SMALL: if you have the auto-empty base it will not matter, but if you buy this as a stand-alone unit you will notice the need to empty it

Use the tablet app versus a phone app. Only one person in the household should control the programming. Easier to set up "no go" areas using a tablet. Once mastered, very easy to use

The Roborock S7 has exceeded my expectations plus some! I went from sweeping everyday to about once a week. The mopping function leaves a bit to be desired but thats expected. Overall, this vacuum does what it’s meant to do which is make my life easier. I select which rooms I want cleaned and it does the rest

In terms of noise, it’s okay. It’s more noticeable than our old robot. It seems like it’s wheels are really stiff out of the box and makes clanky noises. I don’t know if this is what it’s suppose sound like, but it doesn’t seem to hamper its function

I tried the roborock s7 and between it not being able to back of its own dock, being obsessed with ramming into its own dock, getting stuck anytime it hit anything, not picking my anything off the carpet, it had air vents on the side (which I wasn’t used to coming from roomba) that sounds like a jet engine no matter what the speed setting was. I was already annoyed and the sound of a mini jet engine going through the house sent me over the edge in frustration! Am I to expect the same thing from the Deebot t8?

Also, if it tells you to change the bag after just a few runs, chances are the bin is clogged - flip open the top and clean out the dust bin.

But no, it did get some hair clogged when I tried to empty it in that test, but it did just fine after that big test and was able to consistently clea...
