I'd get the S4 Max or The S6 Pure (because the S6 Pure is on sale, and you can just not install the mop, the way I did). Functionally, they are pretty much identical if you ignore the mop.

I would never use one of these mopping features on hardwood floors. They just drag plain water across your floor, which is terrible for hardwood.

Does it mop better vinyl or tile floors?

S5 max or s6 pure, which is better

This or the s5 max for 436? Other than the larger water tank for s5max, is there any difference?

If mopping is important to you, I would go for the S5 Max (unless your home is 100% tile floors throughout). The S5 Max has an electronic water tank, which lets you control it from the app, with things like no-mop zones. The S6 Pure is a "dumb" water tank that you either switch on or off.

This or the Roborock S5 MAX Robot Vacuum and Mop Cleaner? I have a 3 bed room apartment, with hardwood floors. Please help

Personal opinion but if you have hardwood floors, I would not use any robot vac for mopping. They just drag plain water across your floor -- that's not great for hardwood floors. So if it were me, I would be the S6 Pure and don't install the mop at all.OR if all you have is hardwood and no plush rugs, then save money and get the S4, which rides lower to the ground and is just for vacuuming hard floors or low, tight rugs.

You can control the water dripping level in S5 Max using the app. There is no such provision in S6 Pure.

Ohh. Thanks. I feel like I dont really need the s5max but listening to everyone rave about it on sd, I pulled the trigger on it 😔

I have a 3-floor house, and I think iRobot i3 or 960 doesn't support multi-floor mappings, how about this one?

It supports multilevel maps

Except vacuum wars no one has explicitly mentioned S5 Max suction to be better than S6 Pure.

Still can't decide s5 Max for $400 (hoping will come soon) vs $360 for s6 pure

In old thread someone mentioned that S4 is cheaper build than s5/s5 max. The lowest S4 was $299, its no brainer to go with S6 pure than.

Is this any good for tile? Does the mop function work well?

I just got the regular s6 for $422 a couple weeks ago. Is this more cost effective?

A few days ago I jumped on the Tesvor S6 LIDAR robot from Amazon ($299 - $90 deal = $209) and tickled to see the robot actually knowing it's way around the house. Impressed.

Here's a more recent comparison [youtu.be]. The S5 Max seems to do best on deep carpet cleaning, but they have identical suction numbers and all do pretty well. These review sites are not scientific samples.
