360 S7 Robot Vacuum-Mop Cleaner Review
The 360 S7 is a robot vacuum-mop cleaner that isn’t too well known. Not many will have heard of the brand or product; I found out about this robot cleaner by word of mouth myself. It’s usually available to buy quite easily on major e-commerce stores, and as its name suggests, the S7 can vacuum and mop simultaneously. However, at Rs. 34,990 or thereabouts, the 360 S7 is quite expensive, especially for a product from a brand that barely has a presence in India.
The external mop fitting is essentially a small water tank that fixes onto the bottom of the 360 S7, and electronically drips water onto the floor for the mop cloth to wipe over. Attaching it allows the device to activate mopping mode, and simply removing it will ensure that the device only vacuums. A small speaker on the 360 S7 provides voice prompts that let you know what the device is doing.
That said, this is a very well-equipped and technically adept robot cleaner for a number of reasons, which I’ll explore in this review. Is this the best robot vacuum cleaner that you can buy today? Read on to find out.
The top of the 360 S7 has two physical buttons to control it – one to start or stop cleaning, and a second to order the device to return to its charging dock. You can use the 360 S7 on its own by simply pressing the buttons and allowing the device to self-navigate and clean all accessible areas, but it’s a lot better to set up the app to more closely monitor cleaning, select specific cleaning modes and areas, and more.Navigation accuracy is excellent, and the 360 S7 almost always spots any obstacle, large or small, and manages to move around it. As a result, the device hardly ever bumped into anything in my home, and only on rare occasions did it get stuck due to objects getting caught in the main brush. That said, you will have to ensure that loose carpets or rugs with tassels are put away when you run the 360 S7, and you’ll also have to manually define carpeted areas as no-go zones when using the mopping function.
The 360 S7 moves quickly and precisely in straight lines when vacuuming and mopping. It was usually able to simultaneously vacuum and mop my 600-square-foot home completely in around 30 minutes, or take around the same amount of time for each task if I ran the vacuuming and mopping functions separately, which I often found resulted in much more thorough cleaning
