(By "sophisticated mopping capabilities," I mean an electronic water tank that is controlled by the app, allowing you to create the things like "no mop zones." For those features, but the S5 Max, on sale for about $80 more than this deal.)
If you have only hardwood floors, or only very tight outdoor-style rugs, or only a small 1-level home, then there are cheaper models than this (like the S4 or E4) that may suit your needs.
I have no desire for mopping, but I bought this S6 Pure last time it was at this price because it made it cheaper than the S4 Max. I just never installed the mop. It's been awesome. Highly recommend Roborock.
1. You need to use the Mi Home app. The Roborock app wasn't working (at least for me).
2. Your wifi SSID has to be alphanumeric characters only, and you have to connect to the 2.4GHz band, if your router is dual band. If you have a mesh router, it should auto-connect to the 2.4GHz band.
3. You need to give the app precise location permissions (otherwise it wasn't connecting to wifi successfully).
After the setup though, I'm fairly happy with the performance. The app isn't very polished, but it does its job. The LIDAR is definitely nice though, the mapping is fairly accurate in terms of boundaries, and drawing boundaries in the app is usable. Haven't tried the mopping feature and don't intend to.
The hardwood performance on rtings is much better than the Roomba 960, which made me gravitate towards this one, that and the zone mapping feature.

I can tell you that the Roborocks with the 5200mAh battery (all of these S series models) do great. I have two 2600 sq ft levels, and my S6 Pure mapped each level with plenty of battery to spare. Over its life, my S6 Pure has averaged 12 sq. ft. per minute on its schedule room cleanings, including navigating obstacles and traveling to/from the dock.

Two other questions:
1) I noticed the S6 has a camera that allows it to avoid objects in it's path. What is the advantage of this? Don't all these robots have a way to "see" things in their path.
2) We have a sunken living room. If I pick up one of the vacuums with mapping features and place it in the sunken room, how will it map this room? Will it add it to the same floor plan for that floor? Will it create a separate map for the sunken room and treat it like a separate floor?
p.s: We love this vac, smart and efficient. The cleaning, mapping and other features on this one are pretty good. Worth the $$.
You can set it to room more than once, there a setting where you hit it and it shows 2x or 3x etx.
The mopping is decent it good to get the dust off the floor. It more like a wet towel. You can manually control it, add zones, set schedules, the battery last a long time. I used the romba before and this is way better.
