Roborock’s S7 Sonic Mopping and Auto Emptying is a Game-Changer

Roborock S7 Plus with mobile app open.

In a busy world — and we do live in a very busy world, these days — we could all use a little convenience and support. There are many products or items out there that promise to offer some reprieve, but a lot of times, they just add more work. Take robot vacuums, for instance. Sure, they operate out of a dock, can return on their own to charge, and will vacuum and clean on a schedule, but they don’t always work as intended. They might get stuck, prompting you to seek out the device and free it. They also have dustbins that need to be emptied regularly, much like a traditional vacuum. In this way, they do help clean and take away some of that responsibility, but they also add new tasks and considerations. The Roborock S7, with its Auto-Empty Dock, turns all of that on its head. This super intelligent vacuum can clean, empty, and continue operating for up to eight weeks with minimal input.

Wondering how it all works? It’s pretty simple, actually. The Auto-Empty Dock has a built-in reservoir that empties the vacuum’s dustbin when it connects to charge — and when the dustbin is full. That means, the vacuum can start cleaning, and then when the dustbin needs emptying, it quietly returns to its dock, deposits the contents, and then goes right back to cleaning. You only have to empty the dock when it’s full, but again, it holds up to eight weeks of dust, dirt, and debris. Even better, the S7 is both a vacuum and a mop, with sonic mopping technology. You don’t have to worry about the mop spilling water or dirty residue anywhere either. It automatically lifts to prevent carpets, rugs, and fragile surfaces from getting wet or ruined. We’ll cover the best features in a little more detail below, but for now, it’s worth mentioning the Roborock S7 is on sale for Black Friday, for 30% off the normal price. Instead of paying $650, you can get it for $455, one of the largest discounts ever offered for this model.

Why Sonic Mopping is a Game-Changer

The Roborock S7 isn’t just a vacuum that delivers 2500Pa of suction power — which is quite powerful for a robot vacuum — it’s also a sonic mop. By using special vibration technology, and the power of sound, it can scrub your floors clean up to 3,000 times per minute. It’s one of the fastest sonic mops on the market, capable of completely disintegrating dirt and debris. Plus, the 580g of mopping pressure is approximately double that of previous Roborock vacuum models. Ultimately, it all means that users can expect an incredibly thorough and much deeper clean, whether the floor is hardwood, tile, carpet, or something else. It can effortlessly lift crumbs, dirt, debris, and other gross particles from within the crevices of floors and carpets, helping to keep the fibers clean, as well. An upgraded primary brush hugs the ground, and with the vibration, it creates more effective agitation along the floor, disturbing particles enough so they’re sucked into the vacuum.

Also impressive, is the patented VibraRise™ technology that automatically lifts the mop when carpets are detected. This avoids wetting carpets and rugs, but also keeps the floor cleaner, as you don’t end up with unsightly streaks or spills. The mop will also lift when the vacuum returns to its dock, or when it runs into difficult areas. The 300ml water tank holds plenty of water to clean all of the floors in your home, too. Because it can both mop and vacuum, it can move between all types of flooring, both hard floors, and carpets, cleaning everything in one go, without interruption. You can let the little guy run, and focus on your other responsibilities, or just relax. Moreover, the extra-large 5200mAh battery offers plenty of power, enough for up to 3 hours of uninterrupted cleaning in quiet mode. No other robot vacuum will offer battery life remotely close to that, you’re lucky to get half of that time.

The Roborock Auto-Empty Dock Ties It All Together

Of course, the phenomenal eight-week automatic runtime would not be possible without the Auto-Empty Dock that helps to keep the vacuum’s dustbin free and clear. It makes owning a robot vacuum more convenient than ever, because emptying the dustbin, or rather the dock, becomes an occasional chore, instead of something you have to do every time the vacuum runs. The HEPA-rated self-emptying dustbin also ensures that the disposal process is easy, clean, and hands-free — it traps up to 99.99% of allergens and airborne pollutants. If you have pets in your home, that’s a big deal too, because it can keep dander and other nasties, like animal fur, away from the most trafficked areas of your home.

For Black Friday, Roborock is offering its S7 Vacuum for $455 with free shipping, on Amazon. Since it’s usually $650, you’re getting $195 off, which is one of the biggest discounts we’ve seen on this model.

Is 21-Year-Old Jackson Koivun the Future of Golf? Scottie Scheffler Already Offering High Praise
Adult, Male, Man

The future is here, and his name is Jackson Koivun. The 21-year-old made only his third pro start over the weekend at TPC Twin Cities, where he fended off world No. 1 Scottie Scheffler to capture the 3M Open. It’s Koivun’s first PGA Tour win, but it’s not just that he won. It’s how he won that impressed the golf world, including Scheffler.

The Auburn alum entered the final day of the tournament with a three-stroke lead, and he didn’t let up. Koivun got off to a stellar start on the front nine. He later admitted that he had nerves heading into the back nine, but it didn’t show. Koivun posted two birdies on the back nine and finished the final round bogey-free. He’d go on to win by three strokes. He finished 5-under 66 on Sunday and set a tournament-record 25-under 259 total.

Head, Person, Face

Lewis Hamilton is having a rebound year for Ferrari. Ahead of the Hungarian Grand Prix in Budapest, the 41-year-old was looking to accomplish something no driver had ever done there: earn his 10th pole position. McLaren’s Lando Norris, however, had different plans.

At the last second, Norris snatched Hamilton’s chances at making history in Hungarian Grand Prix qualifying. Norris crossed the line with a qualifying time of 1:17.207 to take pole position, followed by Hamilton (1:17.219) and his Ferrari teammate, Charles Leclerc (1:17.445). 19-year-old sensation Kimi Antonelli (1:17.479) settled for fourth place for Mercedes.

Saturday Packs a Punch With Anthony Joshua vs. Kristian Prenga and Errol Spence Jr. vs. Tim Tszyu
Adult, Male, Man

Your Saturday is pretty much booked if you’re a big boxing fan. But if not for Tyson Fury, the action would have actually started Friday morning with his heavyweight bout against Poland’s Mariusz Wach, which was NOT televised because the so-called Gypsy King opted to save the footage for the upcoming season of his Netflix series, At Home With the Furys. According to reports, Fury squared off against Wach at Max Muay Thai Stadium in Thailand, where Fury secured a seventh-round TKO. Fury’s dominant win sets up a once-in-a-generation heavyweight showdown against Anthony Joshua, provided the British boxing star keeps his end of the bargain on Saturday.

Joshua’s long-awaited return to the ring comes against Kristian Prenga in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, as part of Riyadh Season. It’s Joshua’s first fight since he brutally knocked out Jake Paul at Kaseya Center in Miami in December 2025. While his fight against Paul was a sanctioned contest, Joshua’s last fight against a legitimate boxer came against Daniel Dubois in September 2024. Joshua, who was a passenger in a deadly car crash that killed one of his best friends in Nigeria days after the Paul fight, lost to Dubois via a fifth-round knockout.
