Does anyone have the Roborock S7 MaxV Ultra vacuum/mop?

Is it worth the $1400 or is a fancy piece of tech that says it does a lot of things but actually does very little. The reviews look terrific but I don’t want to buy a product that is crappy for this price. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

We have a roborock, but not that high of a model. It is great, better than our last neato which was better than our first roomba.

We had 2 of the original roombas they didn't like to go back to the charge station on their own and were as loud as a jet engine.
I bought the MaxV Ultra deal that included the handheld lithium vacuum so that at least somewhat made the price more bearable. It has changed our quality of life since we have concrete floors, both work, and have kids and pets.
There are some very good things and slightly irritating things. It mops and vacuums very well. It's our first mopping vac and does a good job because of the vibrating motion. It will pick the mop up over carpet but we only have indoor outdoor mats in the kitchen so that feature doesn't matter for us. It is quiet. It maps around objects well. The room selection and maintenance reminders (including when your tanks need to be serviced) on the app are nice.
We run it twice a day. Once full speed on cleaning in the morning, and our master bed and bath in the afternoon. We have hard water so I filter and only fill the clean water tank with reverse osmosis water and a cap full of their brand cleaning solution (Don't want to gum up the internal pumps, lines etc.). The dirty water tank stinks to high heaven when you dump it so in between empties I spray a little bleach spray into it to keep the smell down.
There is some routine maintenance you have to perform with it. The vac brushes and side sweeping brush have to be cleaned because of long hair getting wrapped up in them but the design makes it much easier than the roombas we had. We have the reusable mopping pads and just launder them after a couple uses. I bought a pack of aftermarket on amazon and they work fine as long as your keep up with changing them out. The "water filter" on the docking station also gets nasty and you have to run it under water or scrub it every couple weeks. The nasty water will also collect underneath it and you have to use a wet paper towel to wipe it up but thats not too big of deal. The sensors on the unit get dusty and the app reminds you to clean them. We've had it for 3.5 months and changed the vac filter bag once at about 2 months. We also bought the aftermarket self sealing bags that are much cheaper than their brand. I wish someone would design a reusable one but that would be a task considering how the self emptying feature works
All in all, the house naturally smells more clean, the floor shine and I have not had to change the air filter on the AC as frequently so there is some cost savings there.
Let me know if you have specific questions.

I will second most of what CURDS said above.
We have had the same unit since early May and by far this Bot Vac alone is far better than the previous Neato Vacs we had in the past. The mop feature is really nice to have and works great on our hardwoods and tile floors. Especially if you have pets/kids.
The app is great and gives you lots of options, customization and keeps track of maintenance components for you. For instance, you to customize each room so in the kitchen I have it set to a more vigorous mop setting than the living room since the dogs water and food bowls are there and they are messy little bastards. You can do the same for the vacuum setting if you have a room with carpet.
And for a somewhat completely useless but cool feature I guess, from the app you can drive the robot like a remote control car using its onboard camera. This feature is only useful when you are drunk and want to screw with the dogs or kids.
