Roborock E5

The Roborock E5 is the long-awaited sequel to the Roborock E4, and although it does not reach the same level as the more advanced Roborock models, it does have its advantages. Unlike the more expensive models from Roborock, the Roborock E5 does not use LiDAR technology for navigation in your home, which makes it significantly more affordable. If you don't need advanced features like virtual demarcations and room mapping, Roborock E5 might be the perfect choice for your home.

It is important to note that the Roborock E5 works best in homes without too many obstacles. In a smaller apartment with open spaces and smooth floors, this robot vacuum cleaner can really come into its own. Because it does not have LiDAR navigation, it cannot detect or avoid obstacles in the same way as its more expensive siblings. That's why it's important to make sure it has a clear view and a clear path to follow.

A handy accessory that comes with the Roborock E5 is a remote control. This remote control makes it easier to control the vacuum cleaner directly, especially if you do not want to use advanced scheduling or other advanced features. This is a feature that is missing in many of the other Roborock models.

The difference between the Roborock E5 and the Roborock E4 is relatively small, with the main difference in the form of a slightly more powerful suction effect on the E5. The question that arises is whether there are other options in the same price range, such as the Roborock S6 Pure, that perhaps offer a better balance between features and performance.

Roborock S7+

The Roborock S7+ offers an impressive set of features that will definitely enhance your cleaning adventure. This robot vacuum cleaner is equipped with advanced technology, including Laser Direct Structuring (LDS) mapping, self-emptying, mop function, vibrating mop, automatic mop lift, dedicated app, scheduling, voice control, zone control, multi-floor support, room control and no-mop zones.

An interesting aspect is that you have the option to buy the Roborock S7 without self-emptying at the beginning, but if later you wish to upgrade your experience, you can easily do so. It gives you the flexibility to customize your device to your needs over time.

The Roborock S7 excels especially when it comes to mopping floors. It performs more mopping rounds with high precision compared to its competitors, resulting in a noticeably cleaner surface. Its built-in sensor and foldable mop also ensure it avoids mopping on carpets, which is a smart feature to save time and energy.

It's important to note that the Roborock S7 has a feature missing from its predecessor, the Roborock S6. It lacks ReactiveAI Obstacle Avoidance, which means it can sometimes have difficulty handling larger objects on the floor that it cannot soak up.

It's also worth mentioning that Roborock has three new products in the pipeline in the S7 series. As soon as these are launched in Sweden, we will review them carefully to evaluate if they deserve a place on our list of recommended robot vacuums. The new models promise an even more powerful suction power as well as the long-awaited ReactiveAI Obstacle Avoidance feature, which could make them even more impressive than the Roborock S7. We look forward to seeing how these new supplements perform in the marketplace.
