At home
Roborock S7 Robot Vacuum
The latest iteration from popular robot vacuum brand Roborock, the S7 comes with a sonic mop to level up your cleaning – vital now that you are home more than ever. Fed by a 300ml electronic water tank, the S7’s integrated mop module incorporates a high-speed reciprocating system that vibrates up to 3,000 times per minute, cleaning floors of everything from dried-on food stains to footprints.
The intelligent mop can be configured to lift when it detects a carpet, so it can mop hard floors and vacuum carpets on the same cleaning run.
On top of well-loved features such as powerful navigation and auto-generated maps, expect a new all-rubber main brush and improved suction.
Roborock says the S7 will work with a new docking station slated to arrive later this year that will automatically empty the robot’s bin.
