Hey Shane, if your wife does make you throw that out, PLEASE send that to me :D
Your wife is how my husband feels with my smart home shenanigans after our Delta faucet lost the touch sense and only works using your voice now. Honestly the iRobot mop was best on our hardwoods. I’m glad she approves and can save her back from some mopping!
I’m pretty psyched for the j9+ myself for this very reason!
The best robot mop I found is the Narwal Freo with the auto water exchanger has changed my life. It never over mops or leaves the edge build ups as other mops I have tried. Just remember to run it in freo mode so it vacuums and will detect of dirty the floor is and go back if needed.
Great video as usual Shane. I’m going to check these out for our house
Wife test Approved 🎉 😅
You are such a risk-taker Shane! Glad you got the water-thing worked out. May be time to get one. How does it do going over thresholds? We have a few in the apartment that are a little high,
Hilarious stuff with your wife
Get her as a guest reviewer!
We have two dogs who shed a lot - curious how well it would handle fur.
That's why she's loved having a robot vacuum... because of the dog fur that builds up so quickly on the floors. We currently only have one dog, and it's a short-haired dog, but the Roborock has been great at getting up that dog fur in our house.
Does great with dog hair! And I was very upset! Water control is everything.
Thanks for supporting Shane!
We used to have three-quarter inch hardwood floors in our old home and we never once mopped we would just spot spray with Windex if something spilled, but I would never recommend full on water and mopping on any kind of wood flooring. tile and that’s it
So will you be building a "man cave" Dog House in the back yard that will have Apple Home automations since she will have you living out there? HAHAHAHA! Loved the "Hell NO", from her.
That’s great! I use my man cave as my testing ground for all home automation. Once I convince the wife, then I move on to the rest of the house! 😂
😅 she doesn't hold back!
Another great video. Always nice seeing you wife’s perspective as I’m sure many of us must get spouse approval. This product looks amazing. Got my wife’s interest so who knows. 😊
Once you go robot vacuum and mop it’s super hard to go back! Just make sure you get it mapped correctly in the beginning & she’ll love it!
@@carolinewhatley thanks for the tip. Much appreciated! Hoping to convince her.
"I'm gonna smash it." Haha...she's great! 🤣
Glad you've had such a positive experience with Roborock vacs. My Roborock S7MaxV is a dead loss, and I'll be replacing it soon. I was so excited to move up from my Roomba - which does a great job vacuuming - to the Roborock with mopping. Right away, I found that it tripped over the edges of the throw rugs that Roomba handled without a problem. Roborock curled up the edge of the rug, then got tangled up and stuck. Even worse, the mop pads folded over and would not stay in place with the Velcro attachment. OK, I gave up on mopping, but it then quit emptying its dust bin. No amount of cleaning the chute to the dust bag was able to fix this problem. The only thing my Roborock excels at is getting stuck, or thinking it is stuck. Arrgh! I've spent so much time untangling it from rugs and emptying its dust bin, I'm looking forward to replacing it with another Roomba (I8, J7, whatever the current model is), because my original Roomba is chugging along on the second floor without constant babysitting.
Thanks for sharing your experience. I've found that rugs with little tassels are the enemy of most robot vacuums. I've used a Roomba in the past and I actually found that it got stuck more than my roborocks on certain things. I never had any performance issues with the S7 and the Q Revo has done well so far. I hope you find something that works well for your house.
I had the same exact wood 2 inch wide floor in my house. We had the chipping issues in the cracks between the slats, especially in the high traffic areas and around doors (damper areas). I think the finish of that floor was not good. Forget about walking on this floor with socks. You will get splinters without a doubt. Over a year ago, we replaced wood flooring with a higher grade engineered oak wood and a 3mm thick top. One that you can refinish later. Our robot wet mop runs three times a week and covers the entire house. Note, this mop may only use 1 1/2 cups of water to complete the entire 2500 sq ft of our house, that is not much. So far no issues. Roborock certainly has a more intuitive app than iRobot. My next robot will be Roborock for sure.
My Wife and I just got a Roborock. I looked at the Q Revo but the S7 Max+ had a 290$ off coupon so we went with that. We currently love it.
I realize it’s a bit beyond the scope of this video but I have the Roborock S8 and it is quite nicely integrated in my apple home app using homebridge and the Homebridge Xiaomi Roborock Vacuum plug-in. This allows me to integrate it in my home automations. For example, clean when the last person leaves.
Hope this is useful to someone!

So if you’re not on next week we will know what happened… 😂😂
Hahaha. 😂 That’s gold congrats for standing your ground. Is this next model up from the S7 pro max ultra or whatever??? I have that full on s7 ultra myself.
No actually the S7 (or the newer S8) is their top-of-the-line flagship model. It has a few more features or spec bumps than the Q Revo. But the Q Revo has all the features I'd want personally, and is a little cheaper.
I had a much older Roborock and had no issues with it except the battery started needing recharged in the middle of cleans. But by that time it was well towards 5yrs old. I really should have stayed with that brand. I bought another brand that vacuums well, but gets itself stuck under things causing me some real problems. It also keeps going until it doesn't have enough juice left to get to get to the docking station... especially since it goes on detours or honestly just can not figure out where the heck 'home' is. VERY frequent issue and obviously very annoying. I will one day kick it to the curb and replace it but for all I spent on it, I feel like I should use it for at least another year. Of course I often feel like smashing that dang thing!! Oh ... mopping. No, I haven't tried any. I've been avoiding those due to my own fears on doing something stupid with it!
Can you post how you set it up with Siri Shortcuts??
Thanks for the review Shane. Do you know if it needs an Internet or even a network connection to work? Also, I wish we had more information on the sound and speed of these robots in general. How loud is the vacuuming, the mopping, the self-cleaning cycle? It would also help to know how long they take to clean a certain size room. Some times it looks like the videos are sped up when showing them cleaning and they never have the sound on. I'm home pretty much all day so I'll have to live with the sound of them when they are cleaning.
Thanks for the feedback. I didn't perform a technical sound test, but this is the quietest robor vacuum/mop that I've personally used. That's one of the first things I noticed with this one... how quiet it is.
Interesting very similiar to the dreambit
In the video you said the sale is through September 2nd, but the description has September 22nd. Was the date in the description a typo?
Yes, it was a typo. I have fixed it. Thank you!
Water flow settings aren’t available on the max 7V ultra. Such a shame… floor direction is available.
Look forward to how well the unit is performing long term. Does it still have “wife approval”?
Off topic question… has you or anyone else lost HomeKit video on your cameras in the past few months? I have 4 cameras from 3 different manufacturers that no longer record via HomeKit or send any notifications of any activity. They work fine I the manufacturer apps and record to onboard SD cards that I can review, but not in the Apple app. My Logitech doorbell camera unfortunately relies on HomeKit and now has no recording or notification ability. Anyone else have this problem? This happened after one of the recent updates that Apple sent out. BTW all my hubs, cameras, sensors, phones, etc. are all running latest versions of firmware. Everything worked prior to about 2 months ago…
Thanks for any help anyone….
Wow Shame, you really dodged that one. I got a fan of average calming down and getting used to it.
Only a matter of time before the water tanks in the dock leak and ruin your hardwood floors. Worth the risk?
Hmm… this made me think… I should put a tiny little water sensor behind it. Problem solved. Thanks!
My question is what’s the difference between this and the $1,500 sv max 8 (or whatever it’s called)
Used T20 for almost a month, it’s almost identical to the Q Revo with the rotating mopping pads. It continued to trigger an error stating the mopping pads were tangled when they clearly were not and I just returned it. I was also worried about water on the hardwoods, I’m honestly not sure how this couldn’t do damage over time? Water is the enemy of hardwood floors and it seems like there should be a drying feature to prevent water damage to hardwoods.

Hi Shane, I know Roborock is your sponsor but it would be good to talk about their customer support in your videos.
I own S7, it is under warranty and I have issues with lidar sensor. Their support gave me a link to buy a new sensor, when I asked them to fix it for free under warranty they stopped responding. That’s not how good brands should treat their customers!
I bought an S7 in April which was dead on arrival. Got a replacement from Amazon a few days later. The Lidar system went bad this month. Roborock customer service said they would send me a new unit, then wrote back to say they could only repair mine or send me a refurbished unit. I asked them for a complete refund instead and they sent me a pre-paid UPS to send the unit to their warehouse in Missouri. They refunded my money through Amazon. I have to pay to ship the self-emptying dock back this week, but they have promised to refund that money too when they receive it. Went to Best Buy a couple of days ago and bought the Roomba S9+ and Braava Jet M6 mop combo, which is what I should have done in the first place.
@@GregVT you had a pretty good experience with their support. In my case, they just stopped responding (and still are not responding to my follow-ups).
My wife said; its me or the roborocks7
.
My Roborock cleaned my floor this morning.
Does anyone know what f two people can sign into app. Trying to avoid my wife just smashing the power button when she wants me specific room cleans and the vac vacuums the whole house…
Morning Shane!! Great video as always, I have a question: I know the Q revo must be winning because it is saving your floor and, more importantly, you marriage. But from a technical perspective, which one is the best? Roborock s7 maxV or the roborock Qrevo? Thanks
The S7, or the newer S8, is their top-of-th-line flagship model. Technically speaking, it has slightly better specs and features in some areas. The Q-Revo is less expensive but still has all of the options and specs that I'd want personally.
@@ShaneCreates thank you!!
Shane any discount code? I know it’s discounted but did they provide a discount code for your fans? (And also the poorer people lol)
Sorry all I have is the info on the sale, no additional promo code. But still the sale should save you $200 on the Q Revo. I think that's the biggest discount on so far this year on these.
What’s wrong with her it will keep the house clean without any work
Yes if he suddenly disappears from the internet you will
Know why 😂
Can you use this with homebrigde?
Yes, you should be able to.
Bro you had the top of the line roborock vac, if only you messed w the setting a bit it would have probably saved the poor ultra lol
Facts. Live and learn. I didn't think much about the amount of water being used back then. Plus she needed a little time to cool down anyways 😅
Can’t live with em… 😂
Hey Shane...how did you build the shortcut menu with the different actions?
You can export shortcuts from the Roborock app. So do that for each action you want.
Then create a new shortcut in the Shortcuts app and use the "Choose From Menu" action. Use the "Run Shortcut" action for each option in your menu and pick the appropriate shortcut that was created using the roborock app. Hope that helps.
Thank you sir!
Pick the mop?
Is crazy how after we married, we gotta think what my wife going to say after we buy a product 😢😢
Especially in the USA, people get used for the wife to control the relation, but it’s not heathy at all, the rational one, not the emotional one should have the power of decision. Congrats for the great review!
lol what?)) why u asking her permission?)) r u a man or what?)
Spoken like someone who is single. 😂
@@gregg5958no, spoken from normal culture, where man is a man.
@@razor-4eg You are speaking from the age of dinosaurs Mr. Neanderthal. 😂
