Google has finally lifted the curtain on its much-anticipated Pixel 8 and Pixel 8 Pro smartphones and the next generation of its wearable device, the Pixel Watch 2. Here's a look at what these new flagships bring to the table. Multi-plane floating brush keeps the brush close to the floor on uneven surfaces for better agitation.

Mopping prowess is the biggest game-changer on the S8 Pro Ultra. This includes the ability to not just clean the mop after a run, but also the ability to dry it — preventing the buildup of mildew and other pesky germs. There’s also an enhanced VibraRise 2.0 Mopping System that offers a wider mopping zone and a brush that can lift out of the way so it doesn’t slow down the cleaning process.

Based on internal testing carried out by the manufacturer. Stains used for testing include coffee (dried for two hours and 24 hours), juice (dried for 24 hours), cola (dried for 24 hours) and mud (dried for 2 hours). However, this was sufficient to enable a full clean of a three-bedroom, two-storey house. The robot vacuum will also return to finish cleaning if it hasn’t completed its session when the battery runs out. On its maiden voyage, the S7 MaxV Ultra maps your home. In testing, it automatically labeled my bedroom and living room with the correct names and gave the kitchen, office, hallway, and bathroom generic names like Room 2 and Room 3. It also automatically added some furnishings, including my bed, couch, and dining room table, thus allowing for area cleanings around them. The robot also offers 3D and Matrix maps (the latter is only available on the iPhone 12 Pro, 12 Pro Max, 13 Pro, and 13 Pro Max), but these features weren't very functional or useful during testing. So the S7 MaxV is great at navigating a room, but is it any good at vacuuming and mopping? The short answer is that it's fantastic. The S7 MaxV is pleasingly quiet when used on its lowest level of suction. Our decibel meter measured 55db when cleaning hard floors, rising to 63db on Max+, with a slightly increased figure of 68db on carpet. This is equivalent to the level of noise of a shower running.

This is a great cleaning speed from the S7 MaxV. We find it to be a good bit faster than many other high-end models in regards to cleaning speed, which is most likely a result of its navigational efficiency. Usability Test If you have carpets, you don't need to worry about them getting wet. The S7 MaxV automatically raises the entire mop module as soon as it detects any soft surface. It's honestly amazing watching the vacuum seamlessly move from my laminate floors to a surface rug, all without a single drop of water transferring over. There are items that can trip it up, however. I have a pet food bowl that sits on the floor on the corner of the island in the kitchen. When the robot moves around the corner, it will always hit the pet bowl; when it comes from the other way, the cameras spot and avoid it. The same goes for the mop. The robot routinely cleaned a 430-square-foot area of my house. With a water tank capacity of 200ml/6.7oz, I needed to refill it every couple of days. Oh, and let's not forget having to remove the mop to manually clean it just as often to remove any debris.Mop floors and vacuum carpets in one clean with the auto-lifting VibraRise mop. The mop lifts* automatically when a carpet is detected to prevent dragging a dirty mop across clean floors. The S7 MaxV takes the camera from the S6 MaxV, which enables the vacuum to detect any obstacles, so you can set the S7 MaxV cleaning without you having to tidy up beforehand. It will spot shoes, cables and pet mess, avoiding them automatically. AI training has come on a long way since the initial launch, with the S7 MaxV now able to avoid most objects brilliantly.

Let the robot vacuum clean the floor along its direction so the floor seams can be cleaned along the route and minimize scraping against them.Buy It Direct Ltd is a limited company registered in England.

If the amount paid for an entire product < the MSRP of that entire product, then the number of points awarded will be 1 times that amount Note, too, that while the majority of robot vacuums that can claim to ‘mop’ hard floors simply slosh water around, the S7 MaxV is capable of scrubbing as well. As such, we found it easily coped with removing tough dried-in stains such as Coca-Cola on our hard floor, as well as fresh dirt. Even better, when set to vacuuming and mopping, the robot vacuum will automatically lift the mop on detecting carpet, to avoid it becoming soggy.
