UPDATE: I want to add a note about the mopping. While the mop unit is designed so that only the center of the mop pad directly receives water from the reservoir, I can tell you that 1) the whole pad gets damp, 2) in the pattern taken by the machine across your floor, each pass is about 6 inches from the prior path, meaning that there is significant overlap and it isn't relying on the whole pad being wet, and finally 3) I just watched it sweep and mop my floor and the entire floor was uniformly wet with no dry gaps.
ORIGINAL: After we'd used the Roborock S7+ in our home for a few days, my wife had the best description: "This is a game-changer." We have mostly wood floors with a few rugs, and ideally everything should be vacuumed or swept at least 3-4 times per week, but that's not realistic for us with our work and family schedules. With the Roborock, we can schedule daily cleaning for high traffic areas, and clean any area on demand when we see that it needs it.
For me the number one reminder of the benefit of the machine is this: when it does a scheduled run in a room that already looks clean to my eye, the dust compartment is full of dust and dog hair that would have stayed on the floor had we not had the Roborock.
PROS:
Proficient at picking up dirt. Good reach into corners and under furniture (it fits under our couches, which are 4.5 inches off the floor).
Good maneuver/obstacle logic that keeps it from getting stuck without causing it to miss areas as a result.
Intelligent room mapping and navigation, with ability to edit maps according to your needs. The benefit of mapping is 1) the robot can work in an efficient pattern based on knowledge of walls and furniture, and 2) if you manually move the robot to a room, it can scan the area and figure out where it is.
Very useful phone app that can be installed on multiple phones -- I'm generally not a fan of devices that require a phone but this one is working well (see wifi note in Cons section below).
Relatively quiet; I'd say similar noise level to a dishwasher, not as loud as a standard vacuum.
I'm going to express lukewarm support for the mopping feature. It's really more like wiping with a damp cloth. Certainly better than nothing, but if I hired someone to mop I'd probably give them a bit of side eye if they showed up with this.
CONS:
Dust bin on the robot is pretty small. During the first few cleanings I had to manually empty it a few times (not difficult) while cleaning a large room. But after the initial runs (when our house was CLEANER), we can rely on the auto-emptying in the dock. For reference, this morning I did our living room, dining room, and central hallway, and the bin was about 80% full when complete. As other reviewers have mentioned, there is no detection of the level of dust in the bin; you must pause cleaning and check it yourself if you think it might be full.
There is no way to send it back to the dock for emptying, then resume the cleaning job it's doing. Returning to the dock requires it to restart the cleaning job. The building blocks are all there to incorporate this into a future version of the app (with the current app you can pause and resume the cleaning, or you can stop the cleaning and send it back to the dock. There needs to be a combination of the two that will pause the job, return to the dock to empty, then resume the job). That said, there's an easy workaround for now: schedule cleanings by room, and stagger the times so it returns to the dock between each room or group of rooms.
This and any other home device requiring wifi access should be set up on a guest network to separate it from your computers and phones (most consumer routers can do this). Please note that Roborock is a Chinese company, and in China all companies cooperate with the government in the collection of data. This is a high-quality product that I recommend, but I'd prefer not to give them my home wifi password (the SSID and password are given to the robot during setup).

Mostly good with a few shortcomings
I had this vacuum for about a month now. The battery life and suction are completely fine for my use. My main level is around 900 ft², and it has no problem cleaning that on a single charge.My biggest problem with this vacuum is it's just not very smart. It needs cameras in conjunction with the lidar to see obstacles. It will happily roll over small cables or small pieces of plastic that will jam its mechanism. It also doesn't have a sensor for when the dust bin is full. It would be nice if it could return to the dock to empty itself when full and then continue the clean cycle.The vacuum seems sufficiently powerful. I've run it on all the carpet of my new house and it picked up a full container. It's really handy that it can detect the carpet and retract the mop without any intervention. It seems to perform fairly efficiently and usually just runs from one side of the room to the other in a grid. The biggest frustration though is when it runs up against light objects. It would be nice if I could detect those and avoid them instead of pushing them out of its way. It also can't understand window coverings. You might need to set a no-go zone for that if you don't want it to go through it all the time.The mopping feature is somewhat nice but ultimately poorly implemented. The mop runs the full back of the vacuum but when you actually look at it on the floor it only gets a small portion of it wet so the actual mopping surface is pretty limited. You are instructed to wet it before running the vacuum if possible but that's not ideal if you use it on a schedule.The lidar enabled mapping features are a mixed bag. It's cool that the robot builds a map of your house that you can then use to set no go zones and fake walls but it has challenges. It's somewhat hard to precisely position things on the map because it doesn't always have great detail on what it's seeing. You're going to have to perform some trial and error if you want to perfectly block an area or door. Also, again, It can't detect anything directly in front of it on the floor so small obstacles are a big problem. If you have kids or pets that leave things on the floor then this vacuum might not be for you.The auto empty dock works well. The only major drawback is it's very loud when it's emptying. The other frustrating thing I had is the cable management feature is a bit lacking. I try to put the dock right below an outlet and there's not enough depth to it to hide almost the entire cable. Maybe they could sell a shorter cable for that purpose? The other frustration is it has no indicator to how full the dock is. It would be nice if it at least had a visual indicator on the dock itself.The mobile app is fine. I appreciate the real time map with the location of the robot. It's also nice that it keeps track of how old the attachments are and reminds you to replace them. I have mine schedule to run several times during the week and that works fine.All in all it's fine. It would be perfect if it had cameras and a better mopping system though. I don't know why they have so many models. I wish they had one really nice polished model instead of trying to have a dozen models that do part of what you want.
