The S5 is an older model. The S6 Pure is a great vac for those who have a multi level home, or a mix of hard floors and carpets/rugs, and don't want or need sophisticated mopping capabilities.
(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.
Got this in the last deal. The setup process was slightly cumbersome. Some things to watch out for:
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.
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.
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.
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.

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.
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
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.
The S4 is a fantastic vac and a great deal. Just be aware that it rides 0.2" closer to the ground. It can handle very low, tight rugs, but cannot handle thick pile, or climb over anything taller than 0.59" So if you have high threshold to cross, or high rugs, or thick rugs, you won't be happy with the S4.
If you are looking to save and have just one level and DON'T need sophisticated mapping capabilities (spot cleaning, room scheduling, no-go zones, invisible walls), then the E4 might be all you need. That's been a cheap as $185. That's a great semi-smart vac that just cleans the whole floor every time. No laser mapping.
Thank you for the detailed info. I will look out for E4. I need something under 200 which can clean carpet well.
