Roborock S6 MaxV vs S7 MaxV Plus - Where are the differences?
Where are the differences?
The two vacuuming robots of the Roborock brand differ in a few ways. Let's take a look at the differences between the Roborock S6 MaxV* and Roborock S7 MaxV Plus* in comparison.
release date (release)
The age of the two vacuum cleaner robots is of course interesting in the comparison. After all, there are changes in technology every year. There are 2 years between the releases of the two models. The Roborock S6 MaxV was introduced in the year 2020. Thus the Roborock S7 MaxV Plus is newer from the year 2022.
Which robot vacuum cleaner is falcher?
When it comes to the technical specifications of a robot vacuum cleaner, height is especially important. Robot vacuums with a lower height can clean better under furniture, as they can better drive under cabinets or even the couch. The Roborock S6 MaxV and the Roborock S7 MaxV Plus have an identical device height of 9.6 cm and thus do not differ in the point of height.
Vacuum power comparison
The suction power depends on the maximum suction force. This is specified in Pascal (short: pa). In this point there is a difference in the comparison Roborock S6 MaxV vs Roborock S7 MaxV Plus. The Roborock S7 MaxV Plus offers higher suction power in comparison with 5100 pa. This makes it the better vacuum robot in this point. However, the suction power is lower depending on the suction level. The maximum suction power is always indicated. With the Roborock S6 MaxV you get a suction power of 2500 pa.
Does the battery performance differ?
The battery life is identical for both units with 3,0 hours. The longer the battery life, the longer the robot vacuum can clean at a stretch without having to return to its charging station. If you have many square meters, a longer battery life is always better. Thus, neither the Roborock S6 MaxV, nor the Roborock S7 MaxV Plus is the winner here.
What can the apps do?
Numerous vacuum robots can now be programmed and also controlled via apps. Adjustable are, for example, premises, maps as well as running times. Some suction robots can then be started conveniently on the go. For both vacuum robots, the Roborock S6 MaxV and the Roborock S7 MaxV Plus, there is an App. Here both vacuum cleaners work with the same app: Roborock. However, this does not necessarily mean that the functions are identical. Often, manufacturers only unlock new functions for newer vacuum robots. Both vacuum robots allow zone cleaning via the app. Thus, only certain areas are cleaned without having to set up additional obstacles.
Voice control
Many robotic vacuum cleaners can now be controlled by voice assistants, allowing for convenient operation.
The two vacuum robots can be operated with Amazon's Alexa voice control. Neither device can be controlled using Google's voice assistant (Google Assistant).
Is there a wipe function?
In addition to the pure suction function, some vacuum robots also have an integrated wiping function. This combines two devices in one and the cleaning performance is significantly increased - not to mention the time saved. The models are then called suction-wiping robots.
The both vacuum robots can feature an integrated wiping function and are thus both wiping robots. The Roborock S7 MaxV Plus* offers as a special feature a vibrating wiping plate. Through this, scrubbing is realized, with which the dirt is better removed and a better cleaning result is produced. The pure wiping function without vibration has not shown good cleaning result in most suction-wiping robots. Basically, the mop is just dragged across the floor.
For a carpet, the Roborock S7 MaxV Plus automatically raises the wiper and only vacuums. This offers the advantage that the carpets do not have to be cleared away. The Roborock S6 MaxV cannot do this.
The water tank of the Roborock S6 MaxV has a larger capacity with 300 ml than that of the Roborock S7 MaxV Plus with only 200 ml. This is an advantage for Roborock S6 MaxV.
Which vacuum motor has the larger collection tank?
Since the collection bin of the Roborock S6 MaxV with 460 ml has a larger capacity compared to the Roborock S7 MaxV Plus, it can hold more dirt. Thus, the dust chamber of the S6 MaxV needs to be emptied less frequently. The Roborock S7 MaxV Plus has a dust bin with 400 ml capacity.
The Roborock S7 MaxV Plus* offers the possibility to use a suction station for self-draining. This station automatically empties the vacuum cleaner after the cleaning process, so you have to remove the dirt less often. This advantage is not available for the Roborock S6 MaxV.
