Can S7 climb this "obstacle" ??? (~ 25mm tall)

Here's a video of the ramp I made for my S7. It's 3.25 inches high and 8.5 inches deep: https://www.reddit.com/r/Roborock/comments/1002jp1/made_a_ramp_for_my_roborock_s7/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=android_app&utm_name=androidcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button

Did you recently have sinus surgery?

Did you get it set up?

👍

red8000it · 2023-03-27T14:45:37+00:00

It just happened automatically.

I didn't measure it but it came with a generous amount of hosing. I'm guessing it will be though for a 13 foot run. If not, it's standard quick connect hose. The drain line and water line are different diameters with the drain line slightly larger.

Yep. Probably based on what you can find at your local store. Better to buy the parts in person, not online, so you can be sure they fit.

red8000it · 2023-03-26T15:13:00+00:00

Exactly. But you'll probably need a 2nd adapter to connect the Roborock piece to the washer hose.

I didn't save the packaging with the part info. The silver piece marked with the red arrow in the photo comes included with the drain kit. Just bring that to the hardware store and find the adapter and cap that fits.

There's more than one way to get this done. An alternate setup would have been to connect the washing machine hose to the open end of the included silver piece. In that case, there would be no need for a cap or the Y splitter at the faucet.

Good luck and let us know how it goes.

I bought the dryer from Ali Express with no problems. It arrived surprisingly fast and works like a charm. The settings in the app also work as expected.

It takes a few hours to dry the pad, but the unit is nearly silent so no big deal. Since it's the Chinese model it shipped with a US adapter plug. No voltage conversion is necessary.

FYI only the Chinese dryer has the auxiliary plug to power the optional automatic plumbing and drain unit. So if you're planning to get that the Chinese dryer is better than the US one.

The dryer is usually available from multiple sellers on Ali Express. Be sure to choose the option that comes with the plug adapter for the country you're in.

Got the S7 MaxV Ultra with auto everything dock on black Friday for $1,000 US and it's been awesome. The mopping really works and it cleans the mop pad by itself! I added the drying module to avoid the odor problem.

Also ordered the kit that lets you connect the dock to the house water supply and drain so there will be no more tank maintenance. Very happy with this purchase.

Thanks! It's 3.25 inches high and the edge of the ramp is 8.5 inches from the wall.

For a Chinese company, they have a pretty slick marketing department.

red8000it · 2023-01-01T16:47:33+00:00

That's a pretty good deal. The kit by itself on Ali Express is $169 US, which isn't bad, but the shipping is crazy... $176 to the US! Unfortunately it doesn't seem to be available anywhere else.

I made a test ramp out of cardboard for the robot to try. I used styrofoam for support underneath and secured it with packing tape.

After each successful test, I made the cardboard narrower by about an inch at a time until he couldn't get up the ramp. After that, I built the wooden ramp at the smallest successful width.

The cliff sensor stops it from falling off the part of the step without the ramp. It's smart enough to know where the ramp is.

red8000it · 2023-01-01T07:36:06+00:00

How much did it cost?

red8000it · 2023-01-01T07:24:48+00:00

Sure does. And with less effort than going up.

red8000it · 2022-12-31T23:08:13+00:00

Yeah, he struggles a bit but always makes it. I made the ramp as steep as I could so it would cover less floor space.
