I thank you for your support!
You just saved me from having to remap my whole house. You have no idea how thankful I am!
Thank you for this quick and simple explantion...
Grand kids, 3 and under, were "Sacried of it" so it now "guards" granddad's study.
Work for a S8 Pro Ultra
Thanks! Super useful
Jamie thanks a lot man... i was getting nuts with my S6 MaxV unit... and you save the day! thanks man! Keep the awesome content flowing!
Glad I could help!
Genauso gemacht wie du, hat direkt funktioniert! Vielen Dank 🙏🏼
Thank you sir! Did the trick bada-boom-bada-bing!
Worked perfectly, thank you!
You are welcome!
Thank you so much. I can solve my problem
Thanks mate!
It worked thank you
Worked perfectly, great video!
Glad it helped
This worked for my Ecovacs X1 Omni!
I just had the same issues that other's have had with it not recognizing the station. Of all things, after two days I realized the power cord was just sitting in the hole. If you push tightly on it you will hear it "snap" in. Lo and behold, no more issues the power stays on and it worked like a charm.
It solved the issue for me. No snap was audible but I had to squeeze in the power cord firmly at the back of the station until the light turns ON at the front.
Thanks
Hi Jamie, if you've two docks (auto empty and a standard charging one) on different floors will the Roborock S7 remember both? Or will it only interface with a single dock?
It will remember both. It will have one dock per floor/map.
Curious what your advice is if it updates the dock but puts it in the wrong location. It thinks it's in a new place, but the new place is wrong, so then it is very confused about where it is when walls and furniture don't match up
I would move it again and then possibly back to where you want it.
Hi Jamie, Good morning. Have you received an update for your roborock s7? Did you notice any changes?
I did get the update, but have not yet tested. If it really helps I will post a new video. Thanks!
I've been using iRobot 400 series,500 series and 800 series for at least 30 years and the earlier models left marks all over the baseboards which in my house are white and now they have black marks everywhere.
To fix the situation I repainted the baseboards and added soft weather stripping to the front of my iRobots so they do not mark the furniture or baseboards. Plus, the earlier models did not allow for avoidance of small objects nor could they map the house. At the moment, I'm reviewing the Roborock, the Deebot and one other manufacture and I have found your videos very helpful thank you.
Hey Gerald! I hate to hear you are having issues with the robots making marks on the baseboards. Roborock is coming out with a S7 MaxV which will help keep it from slamming into objects and walls. I am testing it now, but it won't be out for sale until later 2nd quarter. I am glad you find my videos helpful!
@@jamie.andrews Mr Andrews I will keep an eye, my right eye, on the lookout for your test of the robot that you mentioned in your response. Thank you for bringing these reviews to our attention as I believe that you're giving your honest opinion and I should assume that you pay for your machines and they're not paying you to review the product because that way you can voice your opinion without prejudice.
@@gwmattos I pay for some of them, but others are provided to me to review. This helps me as I do not make enough money on this channel to buy these robots plus I often get them before they are listed for sale to the general public. Many people on CZcams simple rush to put out a review without throughly testing it or living with it. Only when you use it day after day can you give an honest accurate review. I try and make sure I am honest about the good and the bad.
@@jamie.andrews I fully understand. My iRobot 400 series began a circle dance about 1-2 weeks after using it. I disassembled it and found a bad "led" that shines through a tiny window when tthe bumper touches a wall or something solid which causes it to back up or move to the right or to the left. The part can be purchased at a electronic store for under 25 cents. The Roomba 400 cannot be used until I find the LED which makes $500 machine worthless. After disassembling the machine twice and finding the problem I now have to replace not only the LED but also the sensor and the spring that's in there but it'll have to wait till after tax season. The early machines made by iRobot we're not made for long-term use and we're only as strong as the weakest link. I appreciate the fact that you are testing these machines over a longer term and the designers and engineers that put these parts together don't realize that the consumer needs something that will last a good five to 10 years at least otherwise thousands of plastic little robots that are basically carpet sweepers or floor sweepers not only fill up recycle bins and city dumps and take a few hundred years to decompose which many people don't think about when it comes to computer waste because they're nothing more than a motherboard or circuit board and a few switches and wires and lots of plastic. Thank you so much for doing what you're doing.
@@gwmattos You are absolutely right. Some of these devices do not last as long as they should. I can tell you that Roborock makes quality and likely the best Robot vacuums on the market. They have flaws like the S6 MaxV did, but Roborock makes changes to address them. They also update firmware 5 times more often than any other company.
A few time that I kinda rushed a review I ended up regretting it months later. I may lose out on some views by not being first, but I am doing it to help people with an expensive luxury purchase that they expect to work the way it is described by marketing people. We both know how that goes! I live with my vacuums and use them daily, but only the ones I am about to review. This is the only way to find the pros and cons. I thank you for your support!
First time go for the S6 here...Relocated the dock. Sent the vac out. Map went blank. 'Reposition' briefly showed on the app. Map showed again with the dock's location updated. And that was that.
Hi can roborock s7 charging dock be used on a s5? Or an s50 with as5?
No.
Hello. I only have one dock for my 3 maps but at some point the s7 got it’s location confused and added docks on all my maps. So once it’s finished it gets gets confused about why it can’t find the dock. Any ideas how how to get rid of docks without deleting the map?
Are you saying you have a 3 story house and it thinks it has a dock on each floor, but it only has one on the first floor?
Yes exactly! So when it finishes on the maps where there isn’t a dock, it “thinks” there’s a dock there so tried to find it for a long time after the cleaning has finished! How do I remove the fake docks without deleting the map?
@@Ck-tc6jg This is the first I have heard of this. My guess is at some point it thought it was on the floor with the dock meaning when you ran it on the floor with the dock it was actually set to be on another floor and when it docked it placed a dock there. Unfortunately you will need to delete those maps.
Hi, when my s7 starts a clean, it spins on the dock before moving off the dock. Any clues why this might occur?
That usually means it does not recognize it is on the dock and it is trying to find its position.
@@jamie.andrews cheers. I moved the dock and then went back to the original position... hasnt played up since. Roborock support told me it was to do with the mop bracket or because its on carpet..... they werent much help.
@@1979shamus glad it is resolved!
I notice you don't follow the Roborock location suggestions of 1.5m on each side. No problems with that?
Never had a problem and in my house I have robots stacked on top of each other side by side.
I have problem with docking
It can’t dock smoothly and error all the time
I would contact support. Also make sure the front sensor on the robot is clean.
Mine automatically jumps to create a new map and proceeds to “positioning failed” and it returns to the dock
I would delete the map and recreate.
Didnt work at all
Not working for me, just. throws a random dock placement elsewhere.
Why would this not be just something I do on the touch screen? Would be a 2 second thing...
Make sure the robot is turned off before you relocate the dock. Then put the powered off robot on the dock. If it still thinks it is somewhere else in your house run a quick mapping and remap you home.
This isn’t working for me
Which robot do you have?
Sadly did not work for me. When I told it to zone clean, it moved the charging station to a completely wrong part of the house and then got entirely lost.
Repeat the process.
@@jamie.andrews Tried it several times. It recognizes where it is if I put it in the kitchen, though it does not know where the dock is. If I put it on the dock (in the new location) it assumes it is at the old location. It does not try to reposition to learn its new location. It just goes out and tries its best to clean the small zone nearby and then returns to the new dock location still thinking it's in the old dock location.
@@Recon777x Make sure when moving the dock to the new location you are powering off the robot and then put it on the dock. When it leaves it should do a self positioning.
Last resort is delete the map and start fresh.
It doesnt work, it just started finding non existing spaces, non existing walls and pretty much ruined my map
I guess remaping is the only option but its so absurdly dumb.
Why they dont have simply an option to change dock location manually on the map??
edit:
restored the map with older backup and then
solved by moving the robot 10cm from the dock and then clicking the "return to dock", it magically instantly found out the new location.
It does work, but sometimes it is easier to try again if you run into issues.
Doesn't work. Dock still in a wrong location.
I promise it does work. I have done it hundreds of times. Make sure to remove the robot from the dock and then power off the robot. Move the dock to a new location and place the robot on the dock. The next time it leaves the dock it will search for it's new location.
Sorry, 0.5m on the sides.
