To be fair, the S5 Max is quite an upgrade over the S5 model. However, compared to the S6, there are only slight differences. Let's take a look at those now.
Water capacity. The S5 Max has double the water reservoir capacity (0.3L) compared to the S6 (0.15L).
Noise level. The Roborock S6 is almost 50% quieter than the S5 Max.
Roborock has extended the warranty of the S6 to 2-years, over the 1-year warranty of the S5 Max.
Color options. Currently, the S5 Max only comes in white color. The S6 has 3 color options.
Water capacity - Agreed, but matters only if you have a lot of surfaces which need to be mopped.
Warranty - You can get more from a few credit cards.
Noise level - Agreed
Color options - S5 max is in both white and black.

The big difference is none of those things. The S5 Max has an electronic water tank. The S6 does not have an electronic water tank.
The electronic water tank allows for app-controlled mopping features like dividing your home into mop zones and no mop zones.
I have no interest in a mopping vac. They don't really mop very well, they only use water (which I would never use on hardwood floors), and they add cost and complexity.
HOWEVER, if I wanted a mopping vac I would definitely choose the S5 Max over the S6, (unless my house was 100% tile floors in which case the electronic tank would not be necessary).

Credit cards usually give extended warranty only for us manufactured products.
Some still do, but many have already started phasing out extended warranty coverage as well as other extra benefits such as rental car insurance.
Correct. But the ones that offer extended warranty such as some amex cards and some citi cards, etc. offer the warranty for all purchases(under certain terms). Not just American made products.
Mop didn't work... sent it back... got the replacement.. need to inspect..
Customer service is bad... no response on their forum..
Bought it from Walmart last month... giving a chance again.. because vacuum is freaking awesome... dog hair sucker

Yes, this matches the lowest price ever, AFAIK, on the S5Max. I got mine at this price a month ago and really like it.
