Our Verdict

Xiaomi Mi Robot Vacuum

Roborock S7 MaxV

The Roborock S7 MaxV is better than the Xiaomi Mi Robot Vacuum. The Roborock is better built, can be used to clean high-pile carpets, lasts longer on a charge, and is fully compatible with a self-emptying station. The Roborock also has a more advanced navigation system with LIDAR and optical sensors, so it does a better job of maneuvering itself and can spot and avoid hazards in real-time.
