roborock E4 Mop Robot Vacuum and Mop Cleaner, Internal Route Plan with 2000Pa Strong Suction, 200min Runtime, Carpet Boost, APP Total Control, Ideal for Pets and Larger Home

Product Information

The bumper allows the E4 to gently bump into obstacles and change directions without damaging the vacuum or the object in the way. HyperForce® suction effortlessly drags away the hidden dirt and debris on floors and carpets, while the powerful VibraRise® mopping system effectively mops your floors. These variants aren’t “smart” navigating robots per se but move like one in a straight back-and-forth pattern. It is the most advanced in terms of mopping and is ideal for those who are going to use a mopping feature every other time.

The Roborock S7 and S7 MaxV Ultra are the only models on the market that lift up the mopping pad when vacuuming carpets or on the dock. We are looking for the best way to handle this and see what can be blocked while still allowing the vacuum to function. When I tested the S5 Max, I used rougher grade sand, unlike the fine stuff I use now, which could be the culprit for the 5 – 7% gap.

To test, we place a measured amount of hair and fur on high pile carpeting and then push them into the fibers with a roller, simulating a few days worth of walking over the area. Again, it’s not surprising that the Roomba S9+ and 980 are the best-performing robots of the bunch, thanks to their high airflow. So we have to deal with a lot of sand and also bits of hay and bedding being dragged into the house. It does have the classic zig-zag navigation pattern of an older Roomba, but the sporadic nature did not negatively effect performance — 95% debris removal overall.

Depending on your firewall, you may need to allow communication from Home Assistant to your vacuum on that port. Further enhancements were made with the later models like the I, S, and J series with deeper grooves on the rollers. The difference is that Roborock’s run is faster since it takes advantage of LIDAR’s 360-scanning ability, while Roomba needs to go through every nook and cranny. Such a detailed amd objective review really helps navigate the flood of information available across different models. We got a glimpse of it when they released an updated version of the J7+ with the added functionality of a mop.

So, these robots move like intelligent robot vacuums without the benefits of map saving and in-app containment. Finally, iRobot has decided to join the bandwagon and offer a machine that does both tasks, like most of their competitors like Roborock, Ecovacs, Dreame Tech, and many more.
