As additional information:
- The Roborock and Smart 360 are Chinese brands.
- The S7 and 360S7 bots are China-made.
- Intelligent Mop Lifting, which is presented in the Roborock S7 is a feature that causes the mopping bracket to lift in order to mop tiles and hardwood floors on either side of a carpet without soaking it, and without having to create no-mop zones or carry the bot around.
- The Roborock S7 supports automatic emptying. The emptying tower doesn’t ship with the main unit. It’s being sold as an accessory.
- Multi-level mapping is a way of saying either bot can store different levels of a home (four in the S7 and up to ten in the 360 S7). This function allows you to carry the bot upstairs and start cleaning right away.
- Room cleaning is the option in the App to get either model to clean specific rooms.
- Keep out zones aka no-go lines are little lines/boxes drawn in the App to prevent the bot from going places you don’t want it in.
- Both models vacuum and mop but only the Roborock does asynchronously.
Which is better–360S7 or Roborock S7?
As for pricing, the 360S7 is the better one seeing as it’s never sold for more than $500 (data from camelcamelcamel.com) whereas $649 was the Roborock S7 opening sales price.
Who should/not be getting the 360S7 and why?
Consider the 360S7 vacuuming and mopping robot if you:
- Have uneven floor surfaces–Its self-adjusting brush design helps here.
- Live in a house ~1500ft²–There’s ~100 minutes of run time and 150ml water reservoir.
- Have hardwood floors, tile, laminate, vinyl, etc.–Its suction and brush are more than enough.
- Don’t have a lot to spend on a robot sweeper and mop–It’s almost half the price of the Roborock.
- Have light mopping requirements–Water dripping isn’t effective. No in-App water adjustment. There’s also no scrubbing to its mopping. Therefore it’s more suited for muddy prints in a dusty home.
- You don’t have carpets between or on top of the tile, laminate, or hardwood floors–It doesn’t have the Intelligent Mop Lifting function.
- You don’t have long hair or live with shedding pets–No auto-clean dock plus the bristles in the main brush will tangle hair and requires frequent upkeep to maintain peak performance.
The 360S7 Pro is the 360S7 with increased suction (2650Pa vs. 2000Pa) and a slightly larger water reservoir (170ml vs 150ml)…similar to the relationship between the Roborock S6 and S6 Pure.
Who should/not be getting the Roborock S7 and why?
Consider the Roborock S7 robot mop and vacuum cleaner if:
- You have uneven floor surfaces–Its redesigned brush chamber self-adjusts to multiple planes of motion.
- You have hardwood floors, tile, laminate, vinyl, etc.–Its suction and brush are more than enough.
- Price isn’t a factor–It’s more than double the price of the 360 S7.
- You have advanced mopping requirements such as dried-on stains or carpets in between or on top of the tile, laminate, or hardwood floors–There’s scrubbing to its mopping plus the mopping bracket automatically detects and lifts to avoid soaking carpets.
- Have a large, multi-level home–Up to 180 minutes run time plus its 300ml water tank can cover more than 3000ft² (in vacuuming mode) or 2000ft² (in mopping mode).
- You have long hair or live with shedding pets–It has an auto-clean dock (available as an accessory) and an all-rubber brush design with detachable ends.
