It’s simple – these nimble guys eliminate the boring and routine tasks of cleaning the apartment, freeing up a significant part of my time for the most enjoyable activities, be it reading books, watching movies or walking.

Tested KaringBee S7 OMNI 5 in 1 and labeling the device simply a robot vacuum cleaner somehow doesn’t even raise your hand, since it is an independent station for dry and wet cleaning. With all the advantages of the gadget, the price is not astronomical, but let’s talk about everything in order and in detail.
Equipment and design: a robot vacuum cleaner can be stylish
In most cases, the delivery package determines the first impressions of a household appliance. I always pay attention to the presence and quantity of additional consumables. With this, KaringBee S7 OMNI 5 in 1 is in perfect order.
When you first look at the equipment of the robot vacuum cleaner, you immediately “exhale” – at least, for quite a long time you will not have to think about consumables. In the box: a robot vacuum cleaner, a cleaning station, four nozzles for wet frill disks, a replaceable HEPA filter, a replaceable brush and three dust bags (one of them is immediately installed in the station). In addition, there is all the necessary documentation and a device for cleaning the vacuum cleaner brushes.

The robot vacuum cleaner has a classic “tablet” design. The finish is matte and painted black. Compared to its glossy counterparts in white, the KaringBee S7 OMNI 5 in 1 stands out very much. The device looks stylish and laconic.
On the top surface at the front there is a laser sensor turret. On the back is a combined power and home button. The keys press with a light and pleasant click. The brand logo is printed in the middle.
The top lid flips open to reveal a dust bin with a removable HEPA filter. The capacity is 420 ml.
At the front end, if one can say so in relation to a round-shaped device, there are contacts for charging. On the left are holes for collecting poly in the self-cleaning station. It is protected by a rubber plug to prevent dirt from entering from the dust container during cleaning. At the back there is a window for an additional position sensor in space. On the lower surface there are two mounts for rotating wet cleaning attachments, a pair of drive wheels, a main brush, a guide roller and a raking brush. There are also three height sensors located here. The dimensions of the device are 35 × 35 × 10 cm.
The self-cleaning station is painted to match the robot vacuum cleaner with a dark gray border around the perimeter of the body. Its dimensions are 43 × 45 × 41.5 cm. The vacuum cleaner fits almost completely into it for charging and servicing.
There are three containers on top of the station. The one in the center is designed to collect dust – a bag is inserted here. On the left is a 2.8-liter clean water tank, on the right is a 2.4-liter waste liquid tank.
The KaringBee S7 OMNI station performs 5 functions: charging the robot, collecting garbage, electrolyzing water to fight bacteria, cleaning cleaning wipes, and drying them with hot air. Thus, we get a comprehensive solution for lazy users. The gadget fits perfectly into my daily scenario – I start cleaning once a day and go for a walk. Upon returning home, I need to immediately start servicing the robot – emptying its dust collector and washing the wet cleaning wipes. All these actions are taken over by the self-cleaning station.
Cleaning and application: maximum independence
Setting up the device takes place in several stages. First, scan the QR code in the instructions and download the proprietary application, and then launch it. Here you need to create an account – you can register using email, and also use Google and Apple accounts to log in.
In the main screen, click the “Add device” button, go to the “Small household appliances” section and select “Robot vacuum cleaner (Wi-Fi)”. Now you need to put the device into setup mode. To do this, press two buttons on the robot for about 7 seconds and wait for them to blink.
In the application, press the “Make sure the indicator is blinking” button and select “AP Mode”. Now you need to go to the connection; to do this, in the smartphone settings you need to select a Wi-Fi connection called Smartlife. After this, we return to the application and the pairing process will continue. It will take 10-15 seconds, after which our vacuum cleaner will appear in the application. Now you can move on to cleaning. Just in case, step-by-step video instructions are available at the link to the product.
Before starting the robot for the first time, I poured water into the station’s container for clean liquid. The process of constructing a map and cleaning a room (dry + wet) with an area of 30 square meters took 23 minutes.
The robot does not have its own water container. Therefore, wet cleaning looks like this: before starting, the rotating disks are moistened with water at the station. After covering 10 square meters (this parameter can be changed in the application), the robot returns to clean and re-moisten the cleaning wipes.
After cleaning, it seemed to me that the system with rotating disks is most effective compared to static wipes. A robot vacuum cleaner copes better with heavy dirt because there is rotational friction.
The KaringBee S7 OMNI 5 in 1 is also in perfect order with dry cleaning. The robot copes well with dust in the corners of the room (the most significant parameter), as well as with cleaning hard-to-reach crevices between furniture and the floor.
The suction power is 5000 Pa. It is worth emphasizing this indicator, since the closest analogues will cost much more. The capacity of the dust container is 420 ml, and the dust bag in the self-cleaning station is 2.5 liters. I have a cat and a cat living at home – after the first cleaning, the robot container was not even half full. According to my calculations, one bag should last me about a month of use. Of course, it is worth noting that everything will depend on the intensity of pollution.
What else do you need to know about dry cleaning? KaringBee S7 OMNI 5 in 1 can also clean carpets. I don’t have many of them at home. Cleaning looks like this: the robot automatically detects the presence of a carpet, rises and moves onto the pile, and then increases the suction power.
There is one more useful feature worth noting. The vacuum cleaner can be controlled by voice using Alice. This is a very convenient feature if you actively use the Yandex voice assistant.
Autonomy
A built-in 5200 mAh battery is responsible for autonomous operation. After passing through the room indicated above, it was discharged by only 16%.

Impression
KaringBee S7 OMNI 5 in 1 Demonstrated himself with dignity in cleaning the premises. This is a functional robot vacuum cleaner for users who don’t want to worry about cleaning the room. The device works on the principle of “fill in the water and forget about cleaning for a long time” – you just walk around the house and enjoy the clean floor.
