Our Verdict

Roborock S6

Roborock S7

The Roborock S7 is better for most uses than the Roborock S6, though they each have their own advantages. The S6 has a bigger dirt compartment, is a little lighter, and takes less time to charge while offering a similar overall runtime. Conversely, the S7 is more effective on carpets and has a more advanced mopping function, which does a better job of scrubbing away stains and can be raised when the vacuum is maneuvering on carpets. The S7 is also fully compatible with a self-emptying dock.
