The purchase of the S7 MaxV is worthwhile if you want the additional security that the 3D object detection should be able to avoid objects. Shoes or socks lying around, for example. Of course, this does not work 100% reliably, but it is much better to have a hoover that can at least recognise something that is still lying around on the floor and that makes an arc in front of lamp bases and scales without permanently bumping into the objects.

I wouldn't disregard the S6 MaxV either, it can also recognise 3D objects. The advantage of the S7 and S7 MaxV would be the wiping plate, which can be raised when driving on carpet, but if you don't need the wiping function so urgently, the S6 MaxV also has very good 3D object recognition and costs considerably less than an S7 MaxV:

Roborock S6 MaxV

Hello

I "treated" myself to the S7 some time ago and I am so satisfied that as soon as the 13-month salary arrives, I will immediately get the S7 MaxV Ultra. You can't go wrong with these Roborock products.
