Our Verdict

Roborock S7

Roborock S7 MaxV

The Roborock S7 MaxV is better than the Roborock S7. The MaxV's 'ReactiveAI 2.0' system allows it to identify obstacles in real-time, determine what kind of room it's in, and suggest different suction or mop settings. It also has a stronger suction motor, improving pet hair pickup, especially on bare floors. While the standard S7 is compatible with Roborock's Auto-Empty dock, you can currently only buy the Empty Wash Fill Dock with the MaxV, which not only empties its dustbin but washes its mopping pads and refills its water tank.
