Jamie...this overview video you made for the S7 that I found is ABSOLUTELY AWESOME! We just purchased/received the S7 and took it out for it's first spin. It got stuck on a carpet in the corner of our eating area. The carpet has a wide black stripe design on it so the S7 got confused and issued a "Trapped" message. I removed the items that confused it and "Resumed" the S7 via the App. The S7 sat for about a minute then decided cleaning was done and docked 😵💫. So I knew I needed to create a "No-Go" zone for that area but could not find how to do it. BUT.....your video sure did show me how and SO much more! This is AWESOME! Thanks so much for doing this!
Thanks so much for the great feedback! I am glad I could help!
this is the best explanation for the potential buyers (like me)
the only thing that left is to check integration with Siri commands, and I'm in!
Thanks for the video mate, really thorough!
Not just a tutorial, but great for prospective buyers like myself who are interested in learning more in-depth about the features and capabilities of the robot! Thanks!
I am glad to help! Thanks for watching!
Same here! I just ordered this yesterday the Roborock S7 plus!
Thank you so much. I’ve run the vacuum twice and was flying blind with the app. This video was just what I was looking for.
Thanks for taking the time to do this! I have had my S7 for a few months and learned the app on my own. I wish I would've seen this video before, it would've helped. There have been some features I didn't use until recently, like the "no-go" zones and it is a game changer instead of always picking up!
Glad to help Ana! I hope you can figure out a way to resolve your issue soon!
Terrific video! I just got an S7 and thanks to you I now feel like a professional. Much appreciated.
Thanks and I hope you enjoy the S7! It is a great robot!
I just got my Roborock S7 and so needed help with the app. This video was excellent! I think I’m going to get a lot of good out of this machine now that I understand it better! I was freaking out since that app comes with no help! Thank you!
So glad that my video was able to help you out!
Yea man the manual is pretty useless. I've been setting mine up for days. Pitfa honestly. Be nice if you could just draw a box and label it.
Thank you for this tutorial Jamie! Very clear and concise.
Thanks for the kind words!
Thank you for a great instructional video. I've had my S7 for 2 days so lots to learn.
Glad you liked it! There is a good bit to learn for sure!
How do you like it? We have 2700 sq ft carpet, tile and vinyl. One Persian cat and 1 girl. Concerned about pet hair and ability to clean carpets. Any issues with emptying the dirt bin or hair breaking or getting stuck on rollers etc? How is the maintenance? Does it auto detect when the on-board bin is full and go back to the base for a clean or does it keep cleaning but doing a poor job because the bin is full? Does the robot detect when the outside waste bin bag is full?
Thank you for your comprehensive and best explanation of the App.
THANK YOU SO MUCH!! This is the best instructional video for the S7 that I've seen! The Q&A's from viewers and you are extremely helpful as well! Thanks again!
Thanks. Glad to help!
Thank you for this well made overview of the app.
Thank you for this video. very helpful
Jamie, you ROCK! This helped me understand how to use this mapping system and customizations. Thank you.
Glad I could help!
Just bought an S7 and am a bit overwhelmed by tech so I have saved your excellent demo for a post panic powerup and education session… thank you 🥰😎
Glad I could help! Enjoy your new robot!
Thank you!! Was trying to figure out forever for the no-mop zone on the S8 Ultra pro and this helped me figure out it doesn't have it!!
Thanks Jamie! I just got it and this is was so easy to set up with your video👌 big thumbs up!
Wonderful! Glad I could help!
Thank you so much. I had no idea how to fully use the app and was flying blind. I also am happy to see all the different features. Thank you.
You are very welcome!
Thank you so much
It was a fun hood video ❤
Great instructions!! I just received my S7 and there are so many options here, that I didn’t know about. So excited!!!
Thanks you so much for this informative video. I would have had no idea how to use the many features of this vacuum without your video PF
Glad I could help!
Got this vacuum for christmas and love it! I'm an architect and it has been so fun to see my house drawn using a laser equipped robot! You might mention as a no-go-zone the Christmas tree... In particular, the skirt beneath it.
One disappointment is in the 3d furniture map, in which the walls & furniture are dark shades of gray rather than the more colorful examples shown in the manual.
superb video, exactly what i was looking for!👍😁
Thanks for this helpful tutorial. I just bought one and am fretting over how to use this high tech robot, haha.
Thankyou its all starting to make sense now, great explanation. Well Done
Thanks!
Extremely well done, congrats
Thanks
That was so useful! Thanks!!!
THANK YOU for this video! Just got an S7 today and I never would have figured all this out on my own 🤣
Glad to help!
Outstanding! Thanks
Awesome video, thanks :]
Thanks for this video! I am trying to find an explanation of the Map Rotation feature...Does it cause the vacuum to physically rotate its direction? or is it just to see the map differently in the app...thank you!
Just for you to view it differently.
Very informative, thank you. I just got mine and really should have watched this before I set the vacuum off and the map saving wasn't turned on 😅
If you have an area where the vacuum can't get into because it's too big or a rise is it better to add that area as a second floor? Thank you.
You certainly can yes. Thanks for watching.
Very good tutorial.
Thanks much!
Thanks for your effort to teach us the app functions!
We have encountered a small issue during the mapping process. A room could not be entered so it was only scanned by the LiDAR cone through the door opening.
Have divided the cone into a room and named it.
Would like to help the roborock s7 to enter the room, have it to map it and thereby complete my current map.
Yes can for sure make a separate map and work with multiple levels but are there other ways to avoid a 2h re-mapping of the house?
See my video here th-cam.com/video/s7qPI-WjMio/w-d-xo.html
Excellent video, thanks for that. Question, when scheduling, can I schedule by room only as I'd like to mop the kitchen more often than the whole house?
Yes you can. Thanks for watching!
Jamie, Thanks for the video it was very informative. Question my house is one level flooring with the exception of my Lanai it has a drop off of a few inches. What do I do to make sure it doesn't go into this room. Do I always have to block this doorway or can I program it so it stops and doesn't go into this room and of the ledge?
2nd Question I have a deep thick carpeting will the mop lever bring the mop up enough not to get caught on the carpet?
3rd Question Can you program the robot S7 to do like the living room and kitchen each day and do the other rooms every few day's?
Thanks,'
Lou
Hey Lou,
Question 1. It should avoid it as the robot has cliff sensors on the bottom designed to no let it fall down stairs. If those do not work you can create a no-go zone to keep the S7 away.
Question 2
Likely not enough. Small or medium pile carpet only.
Question 3
Yes you can program it and it is very customizable.
I am working on my full review video that will come out this week. Keep an eye out for it.
In-depth review!
What would you recommend for mainly hardwood (and bathroom tiles)?
I havent been able to find a video explaining the different suction modes. I was running mine on max all the time, then I wondered about the longevity of the floors (scratches) and the motor of the robot.
Many in the forums do not recommend doing that. I have switched to Turbo, but for hardwood they say balanced is fine.
I just recently used "quiet" but I'm not sure if it really picks up much. I want to keep the motor in good shape in the long run, but also have good suction for clean floors.
I always run mine on balanced with carpet boost turned on. That is plenty for my home.
Thanks for a wonderful Video! How do you color code different rooms? How do you setup the map for different level of the home.
Thanks Melissa. You can't color code them or change the colors. They randomly change as you divide larger rooms onto smaller ones automatically.
For setting up multiple floors please see
support.roborock.com/hc/en-us/articles/900002181666-How-to-create-multiple-maps-for-multi-level-house-#:~:text=For%20the%202%2D4%20maps,alone%20to%20map%20that%20floor.
What a great video! Thank you so much! Only one question: when I select to vacuum AND mop a room which is partially covered with carpet, does it identify the carpet and mop only those areas when there is no carpet?
Thanks! Yes it will identify the carpet and if the mop pad is attached it will lift the mopping pad.
Thanks. Great tutorial for understanding the app! I got the mapping done and it's saved but the room division isn't done and there is no option to do that as well. Any help is appreciated
Go to settings and then manage maps and make sure map saving is turned on.
Hi there, thanks for this detailed video. I've got one question. When you setup no scrubbing mode does it actually lift the mop and vacuums only or does it still mops but doesn't scrup/vibrate the mopping pad etc? Thanks
You are welcome! If you select mopping and the mop is attached it will mop (unless it is on carpet or in a no mopping zone) and it always vibrates the mop. If you select vacuum only with the mop attached it will not lower the mop or apply water.
HI Jamie, thank you for this very informative video. I have 2 roborocs, 1 for downstairs the S7 and the S5 for the upstairs of the house. How do I set these up? TIA
Add one to the app at a time and let each one map its own floor. Each robot will have a map of its own floor.
Fantastisk hjælpsomt - TAK🤩
I cleaned the house with my old hose vacuum cleaner today. I wanted to make sure it was nice and clean for the first visit of out new S7.
I just bought it today!
We also got a thick hairy rug under the living room table probably 15-20 cm thick, warm and cosy. It insisted to clean there first and foremost but it got stuck each time, issuing a warning stuck message. So i need to learn no go zones and landed here :)
Other than that, i got a full dust compartment elsewhere.. it's one efficient bot. Maybe it went to some places i could not reach.
Hey Hugo, I am glad to hear about the newest member of your house!
Very awesome.
Great overview! Question: When defining no-go and no-mop zones, the framed box has a solid line and a dotted line. What is the difference between the solid and dotted lines?
Thanks. There should not be any dotted lines with mo-go zones or lines. What model?
This was a great video. I have two questions for you on my S7+ I just bought primarily to do my kitchen. I have mapped that room by closing off the doors so that the unit could not escape elsewhere in the house. Now I want to map some other rooms on that same floor. What to do? How do I get it to not start cleaning the immediate room and instead go and explore the rest of the house? Secondly, if I map the house but then choose to move the base to a different room does this mess up the mapping from when the base was in a different room to begin with?
As far as question 1 to add new room you must choose a full house cleaning and let it go in the new rooms. For your second question just move the base anywhere you want and put the robot on the base and start a cleaning. It will figure put where it is on the next cleaning job. I just made a video on this a few months ago.
Jamie, thank you so much for the detailed awesome explanation of the app, this is extremely helpful. We purchased a couple weeks ago the Roborock S7 but did not use it yet due the the Christmas decoration around the house. Now that I viewed your video we are almost ready to rock ! One question I do have, we have a 4 inch drop from the living room to the kitchen, it is an open floor plan so when the S7 starts the initial mapping it would more likely go down the drop but could not make it back up. So what would be the best option for us to get a proper initial mapping so that we can add a no go zone later ? Thank you so much and happy new year...
It should see the drop like a stair I would guess. If it does the cliff sensors would keep it from tumbling down and you would need to add that area as a different level of your home as if it was another story. Select the levels from the manage maps screen. It it does tumble down you would need to block it with a no go line. Glad my video helped you ! Happy New Year!
@@jamie.andrews your video is awesome helped a ton and thank you so much for your reply, have a wonderful 2023
@@gabitony4941 Glad to help! Happy New Year to you and your family! Take care.
Great Vídeo ❤. Im wondering how could I set to mop only and after mop only. Is that possible?
Thanks! I think you mean vacuum first and them mop after? You could setup a schedule that will do this.
Hi, thanks for this useful video. I do have a question: can I turn off the main power when the vacuum is 100% charged? Coz I don't wanna constantly charge it if fully charged.
Sure. Just keep in mind you will not be able to remotely start a job.
@@jamie.andrews Thank you! :)
Wow, thanks so much for this video! I no longer pull my hair out! I have a question tho, I have a theatre room with 2 entrances with no doors, and the hallway goes past it, in mapping it has linked the hallway and theatre together as one colour and I want the theatre as its own room so I thought I would divide them but as my theatre room isn’t a straight box shape and the entrances and wall on the hall side are at an angle and I can’t divide it from the hallway in 1 straight line, I need to use the dividing lines on both entrances but I can’t seem to do that, any ideas on how to make the theatre room not part of the hallway?
Without seeing the map it is hard to tell you. Sometimes you just have to keep playing around to try and divide it up. I can't say I have experience with rooms shaped like that.
Thank you for the video, I'm considering an S7. I would need much water on the mop in the kitchen but only a slight amount on the laminate floor in the dining room, because too much water would destroy it. Is that possible? Also I would like to intense mop the kitchen every evening, while the rest of the appartment should be every second day with different settings for the water amount for each room. Can I do that?
Thank you for taking your time to answer :)
Yes. With the S7 you can customize each room for the amount of water it puts on the floor.
You can manually or with a schedule perform a robot cleaning with a set intensity. The intensity level is not customizable per room though, but you can do it by cleaning rooms together that need strong intensity. I hope this helps!
Great Job! Thx a lot! Can you also set a time to start cleaning?
Yes there is a scheduling feature in the app.
@@jamie.andrews Thanks for your quick reply. That's what you call being there for your viewers. keep it up!
Great video, just set mine up did its first run earlier. Not bad though a bit pricey.
You will love it! Thanks!
Jamie, in your opinion, what is the best way to map different floor levels. For instance, we have a large room where the kitchen is raised so the robot can’t get up there.
Any raised floors where the robot can not reach must be treated as a different level and carried to that level and then create a new map in that level. Each time the robot will need to be carried between levels. Hope this helps!
When you select a full clean, does the vacuum know when its container is full, or do you have to check it? And if you have the auto empty charging base option is there settings for when to empty itself or is that automatic?
It has no way of knowing if the dust container is full. The auto empty base will empty the S7 each time it returns to the dock unless you turn the auto empty feature off.
Hi, just got my Roborock s7 today. I would like to know to starts or mapping my house do i need to use only vacuum or the mop and vacuum together. I’m not sure about this. Another thing is if i want to vacuum 1st floor, do i need to bring the charging dock upstairs? Please help. Thank you
I would let it create the map using only the vacuum. You do not need to move the dock. Once you enable multiple floors you can move it to the second floor on e it completely finishes the first floor map and it will map your second floor.

Hello! Just wondering if you have an in depth app walkthrough for the G10 model? Thanks.
I do not have access to the G10 in the states but I have done the S7 MaxV Ultra

Can we view the instructions before purchasing I’m just a little unsure if I purchase will it be too hard to set up as I am elderly? Thanks

Hey Jamie, thank you for this video. You made it understandable . I have an issue maybe you know the solution. My S7 gets confused and will go over and over the same areas and miss others. It may be because my cat is curious and gets in front of the unit. Also, sometimes I forget to move the foot stool or chairs around the table are not sitting exactly the same. Any ideas?
Any black rugs?
@@jamie.andrews Nope
@@nanasloves Not real sure. Have not seen that before. Maybe try remapping your home.
Thank you so much. The manual doesn't really tell you how to start mapping. I was dreading this but now I am looking forward to it thanks to your excellent video. I bought my GF the S7 and the Auto bin for her Bday. Tomorrow we are mapping the house. I see it will be a bit of a process but once locked in it looks like it will be very worthwhile. Every time she used her entry level Roomba she had to move things and set up barriers. This I am hoping will end that. We also have 80% tile so this unit made even more sense.
I am proud to be that guy that bought his GF a vacuum. I actually consider this the anti-vacuum. It will free her up from having to fuss with it. At least that's the way I sold it to her! :) She is actually very happy so win win.
Happy Birthday to your GF! She should love the S7 and the dust bin. You did good!
@@jamie.andrews We have a 3200 sq. ft home. On it's initial mapping run I suspect i had the settings too high as it was taking a while going over the same spots. It did a little more than half which was mostly tile before it went back for a charge. The mapping is really amazing to watch. On the opposite ends of the house it seemed to save those for last I am guessing?. On the second run it started back up at 78%. Is there a way to have start when it's fully charged? It only did the master bedroom and bath before it went back for another charge. By this time it was in the do not disturb time. I think it might have to finish the closet which is off the master bath. All the way on the other side of the house it mapped at the hallway but didn't go into the two spare rooms. When it starts up again will it eventually find those rooms? It only got stuck once under a bed. It's escape routine is quite impressive.
@@scotts4125 If you manually stopped the mapping part way through you may have to start over again. It needs to complete the process entirely. Always start mapping on the lowest vacuum power setting. You are not trying to vacuum your house, but instead map it. The lower power setting will allow it to complete without having to recharge as much. Good luck and report back what you find.
@@jamie.andrews It went back and mapped all the areas it left. I named and edited everything. It was a lot easier than I thought it would be. I thought it would have common names in a dropdown when naming rooms but I just have a custom label and manually added everything. So far more than pleased with it.
I did have to call CS. I noticed it adds area like the patio when it mapped by the sliding glass door. I called to see if I can delete that but as of now they don't have that. I added an invisible wall where the slider is.
Great review. Just one question, in the menu of robot voice, is Spanish available in your unit? I just got mine and it doesn’t have it. Greetings from Mexico.
Greetings! No it is not there.
Hello, I would like to let you know that Roborock app that is on my phone has English, French, and Spanish robot voices. Maybe update the app?
Hi,
is it possible to define a zone where the roborock is lifting the mop and only vacuums? Just like the behaviour on a carpet. I need this Here when the robot is going from one room to another, we have a metal separation in our House that might destroy the mop...
Unfortunately no. Only no mop zones, but that means it won't cross into the zone if the mop is attached.
@@jamie.andrews thanks alot from Germany for that quick reply ;) I hope they will add the feature to be able to add carpet zones manually, would be quite easy to implement I guess ;)
Great video. I'm thinking of purchasing an S7 for Christmas. My wife and I both have an iphone. If the app is installed on both phones, can we operate the S7 independent of each other? I am assuming that we would have to use the same log in ID and password to access the app.
Thanks! You are correct! You both can share the same login.
You can actually setup two different accounts and share the device with another user under Profile. Very useful if you have multiple robots in different physical locations with multiple users. The users will only be able to see and control the robots that they have been granted access to, but you'll be able access all if your account is the main one.
This is exactly the question I was going to post before deciding to read through comments. Thanks to Jamie and Kevin for the answers!
It is a great vid. But is the total working time goes to zero after hard reset? If so how do we find out the real total working hour?
You can't.
Can this robot be managed from multiple phones? (My phone and my wife’). Or the robot can only be managed from one unique phone?.
Multiple phones, one account.
G'day from downunder, my S7 arrived yesterday, I'm currently trying to map my home. However my Dumbphone OS is too old for the Roborock App, so I'm trying to do it with the MI Home app. It's slowly mapping the house, however a lot of the functions you showed I'm guessing is with the Roborock App. I'm getting lost using the MI Home app. Is there any chance you could upload a "how to" using the Mi Home? Cheers Susan
G'day! Unfortunately the Mii home app is not one that I use. Very sorry.
where to find the access to the camera? :O thanks for the video anyway!
What model do you own?
@@jamie.andrews S7 Max Ultra!
Thanks for a very detailed video Jamie (definitely hit 'Like'). Will definitely flatten the learning curve for when I successfully complete mapping. I hate to use you for support, but I have been having problems trying to do the initial mapping of my house and it would help to know how it decided a map was 'savable. After three attempts it finally appears to have mapped all the rooms, but when I go to save the map, it gives me a warning about manually saving. I'll definitely take your advice and turn off cleaning and send it out to map once more once the battery recharges. It has taken it it about 90 minutes to map our living areas (on the third try) but had to come back to recharge once to clean the 765 SF of floor space (no doors, just wide spans with a curved staircase in the middle - so oddly shaped). When does it decide it has enough info to automatically save the map so that I can create and edit rooms? Thanks!
Hey Monty! Thanks for watching! First make sure map saving it turned on and leave it on. Do not toggle it on and off. This will allow you to divide rooms. There is no way to manually save a map that I am aware of, so I would need more info on what exactly you are doing. You must let the robot finish the mapping process. If it needs to go out 3 times to map your entire home due to battery drain then let it complete and go back to the dock. After it is finished it will save the map which will be available to see under "Manage Maps". It knows when it has no more areas to explore and will stop trying to explore and save the map. It you interrupt the mapping process or pick it up it will fail to save the map correctly. It saves the map once it goes back to the dock the final time. Make sure you do not have any mirrors at floor level as those can cause issues with lidar. Hopefully this helps!
@@jamie.andrews Thanks for the reply, Jamie. The first failure was mostly me. I sent it out and it seemed intent on battering a cardboard box I had placed in an opening to prevent it from entering a room. It kept coming back to that and kept ramming it turning only slightly each time. Anyway, anxious to get it to move on, I moved it to another room and it could not reposition itself. Second time it got lost all by its lonesome. I heard it stop - went in the area where it was stopped in an open area and heard it announce it was repositioning and it started over. Third time it completed and entire run but did not save the map and when I pushed the plus sign (there was no indication of having saved any maps) a small window popped up basically indicating manually saved maps were not reliable and asking if I wanted to abort the current endeavor (I cancelled rather than confirmed).
@@emhok3035 If there is a saved map I would delete it and start over. If you move it at all or interrupt it during the mapping process it will fail to save the map.
@@jamie.andrews Thanks, Jamie. Sorry if the above was unclear. The only map it saved was one that it finally created uninterrupted except for its return to station to charge the battery (then it went out on its own and finished). This cycle was repeated a second time before the map was saved. None of of the previous mapping attempts produced a saved map (manually or automatically). I am confident the only map in the library was created without any interference. Thanks for all your assistance. Will check back with an update after a bit more use.
I have a question. Do I need to take out the mop head if I only want to use the vacuum? Thank you.
The mopping pad should be removed when not mopping.
I have just remapped my home as missed the toilet last time as accidentally shut the door. Now I am having trouble dividing my rooms, I move the dotted line around until it is solid but when I press the tick to save it, it says failed. Not sure why? Any tips?
This can happen sometimes. Try dividing a different area even if you need to merge and resplit. This issue normally happens when the line is not in the best location on the map. Stay persistent, and it will eventually work.
I know this is old, but if I set a mop only full, will it automatically avoid carpeted areas?
Yes, you can define mop avoidance areas as a no go zone and put those over carpeted areas.
My app doesn't have clean lines on all the walls. where there are windows, the map seems to extend out. Is this something that fits itself in time of can I add walls and delete the outside section?
If the windows go to the floor this is something that can happen. The only way to fix it would be to block off the windows with curtains and delete and recreate the map, but honestly I would just ignore it. It should not cause an issue.
Can you trust the invisible wall, so that the Roborock S7 doesn’t fall down the stairs ?
If you’ve got experience with this use case, please reply.
Thank you ☺️
The robot has sensors around the bottom that keep it from tumbling down stairs.
My first floor must be too big. S7 won’t cover it all. Should I move base and set up as different map? Thanks for your video!
Can you explain more? Even if it runs out of battery before it finishes mapping it should charge up and resume mapping and the same goes for cleaning.
@@jamie.andrews I’ve only run it twice. It hasn’t mapped the whole first level yet. I will try again and see if it goes further. Stay tuned.
Jamie, I have been enjoying the S7 but have uncovered two issues; 1. It is scrapping the paint off the baseboard and am unsure how to get it to stop it. What's to do? 2. The mop seems to leave tracks on my porcelain floor that is made to look like wood. It makes like streak lines where you can see it has gone back and forth like two to three inch wide faint black lines where it appears it is smearing the dirt around. I have washed the mop cloth but is quickly starts doing the marks before it has even finished the room. Any thoughts. Is there a way to get it do do the room in a different cross pattern than it always defaults to so that it might tackle the floor in a different way to ward off making those streaks. Lastly, is there a brush that can fit on these to scrub a bit better as an alternate with the mop cloth?
I am not sure why it would be scraping the paint off the baseboards. I have never had a robot vacuum do this in my home. Does it do it while impacting the wall head on or when it is riding beside the wall? I would add some cleaning solution to help cut down on streaks. Roborock makes their own solution that I use and it is concentrated. Does not take much. amzn.to/3RnQpRj Select 2x cleanings and it will mop the second time in a different direction. I am only aware of aftermarket mopping pads, but have not tried them. It takes a special pad to work with the S7 since it has the vibrating mopping system. These robots are more for maintenance in-between cleaning and not daily mopping. I use the Roborock Dyad a few times a month and then use my robots to clean in-between. Look at my video review on the Dyad. th-cam.com/video/xyw7U31NC9M/w-d-xo.html
Can I add rooms to the map after the initial mapping? Eg walk in pantry that is too messy to open the door for initial mapping?
Yes you can,but it is always best to map everything at the start as this is way easier if not too late.. A full house cleaning (not room cleaning) with the pantry door open will add the room. You can then edit the map to split that new room off.
@@jamie.andrews ok. Thanks. So you recommend I open the door anyway and just let it go in as much as it can for now? Or leave it and open later?
@@josephdeacon9351 Open the door now and let it do as much as possible.
How can we make S7 run double pass (paths perpandicular) in vacuum only mode? I am not using mopping as I don't have any hard floor. I want to set this as default option for full cleaning, not zone or room cleaning only.
You need to select deep cleaning for the tighter cleaning paths. If you want a cross pattern as you described select 2x cleaning.
When you press the phisical button to Clean, what does he does? Is it pre programable?
Starts a whole house cleaning. Not it is not programmable.
Abole house acordantes to what we programed no rache division, right?
I didn’t see in the vid but can you pin on map and just clean that area? I want to get S series so bad
Pin n Go lol never mind. Thanks!
Better option is zone cleaning. Pin and go does not start a cleaning. It just sends the robot to a specific location.
Will this new app design come to the Roborock S6 Pure?
Not that I know of yet.
Quick Question....How do you delete just a room and not the whole floor map? Thanks.
You will need to remap the entire house with the door to the room closed. A quick mapping should remap your house very quickly.
@@jamie.andrews Thank you!!
If doing 2 floors would I need to move the dock each time for it to clean in future, once the initial map has been created ?
No if you pickup the robot and move it to a new floor it will recognize it is on a new floor and begin cleaning.
@@jamie.andrews thank you I’ve just got the s7 so still trying to work the app out. Your video has helped a lot.
@@leighbarrett6797 Glad I could help!
Can you use a map for the S4 with the S7?
Sadly no.
Thank you this really helped me. I have a question i had to stop the mapping process as i had to go but how can i continue the process again that it will continue mapping from where it left off?
No. You must let the mapping process complete. If it made a partial map you will need to delete it and start over in order to properly divide rooms.
hello. how i can chance my roborock cleaning direction?
Unfortunately, you can not after the map is made. If you select 2x cleanings it should change the direction on the second pass.
Hi! My "RoboCop" arrived yesterday😍 I did the mapping, but I can't setup the number of cycles for the individual rooms. Can you help me? Tks 🤗
Congrats! First select room instead of full cleaning in the lower left hand corner. Select the room you want to clean and you will see the option in the lower left of your screen for cycles. Choose between 1&3 cycles.
Cycles only works for room and zone cleaning and will not show up as an option for Full house cleaning.
@@jamie.andrews Tks for your answer 🤗 I did all the steps, but the number of cycles for each room doesn't save as should be. I have selected a specific room, I increased the cycle number for it, but after that is increasing the number for all rooms.
@@KimYooNaa It sounds like you have not divided your rooms up. You need to go into edit rooms and divide the rooms.
@@jamie.andrews Sorry I didn't mention... Yes, I divided the rooms. But I can't save the settings for the number of the cycles.
I had some things under a bed at first so robo just didn't go under there but then I removed them and it still won't go under there how do I change that?
Perform a full house cleaning if the area under the bed is gray right now. That will allow you to merge the room with the area under the bed.
@@jamie.andrews thanks for your quick response...I'll try that
How does one schedule cleaning?
06:42 in the video
In my app i dont see the mop option and my robot has a mop on it what can i do?
What model do you have?
Well, I wish I had found this a couple days ago, might have saved me some frustration and confusion. You will definitely save me some going forward, Thanks!
I had one of the early Roombas and I’m glad to see the tech has evolved to make it (mostly) much more than a drunken toddler now.
Glad I could help Thomas!
I've managed to get a map for every level. But how can I choose a level in the app, so that I can choose a room to clean on another level ?
I can not find it in the app (and I'm up to date - current version 02.16.12) 😳😲😔
Have you first put the robot on that level? It will see what level it is on.
@@jamie.andrews true, it will recognize the level. But when I want just one or a few rooms on that level, you can not get that done.
Only way to do so, is by make a schedule !
@Harco van Hees Interesting. I only have a single level so I do not have a great way to test.
@@jamie.andrews By making a schedule, you can choose a level, choose specific rooms on that level and choose to vacuum or mop or both and the force.
Until so far no other solution found.
You have a different app than i have. I have Version3.5.8_002034 And it says it is up to date?
I use the Roborock app.
@@jamie.andrews that’s what I use also but it is different from the one you are using
@@robertgodwin6604 Maybe different region or platform.
Why does my roborock use so much water when it's mopping
For many models you can change the water output in the app. Which model do you own?
@@jamie.andrews s7, i couldnt find where in the app to reduce the water output.
Trying to divide and set up rooms is a pitfa 🤬 Trying to tell the robot where to vacuum vs mop etc is a joke. I had to download the MI Home app because the Roborock app since the update won't connect to the S7 plus vacuum wifi.
Huge negative to, well any internet of things, is that it won't connect to 5G internet - which at the moment is only an issue in new houses - so the app is useless for me
Yea pretty much all robot vacuums to date only support 2Ghz and not 5Ghz.
Way too complicated for me. The complicated software will make me have to return it.
I suggest looking at he Roborock E5 as it does not use software, however you do lose many feature like individual room cleanings.
