(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.

1) The ends of the brush roller pop off, so any "rings" of hair that have gotten tangled on the ends just slide off (I wish my Dyson stick vac had that feature!).
2) They come with a cleaning brush stored under the lid, with what I would describe as like a letter opener blade. If hair or strings get tangled around the roller brush, you slide this across the brush to slice through and loosen it up and off.
So here is what im looking for
Decent Vacuum under 300
Has mapping
No Go Zone so it doesn't go over carpet that cannot be vacuumed
I dont need a Mop
Everyone is saying jump on the S6Pure since its cheaper than S4Max right now and dont use the mopping
But on amazon
S6pure $391.94 after tax
S4Max $348.39 after tax
Im confused.
One feature that it doesn't have compared to the likes of the S5 Max and the S6 Max is that it will not top-up its charge to complete a job - on those more expensive models they return to the dock when they are running out of power, get to 80% and pick up where they left off.
The S4 Max is a superb pound-for-pound option for anyone looking beyond the bargain basement models on offer in the ever expanding world of robot cleaners; it hits the perfect sweet spot of price and performance.

Edit, this video review of the S4 Max says it will go back to the dock to recharge and resume cleaning afterwards: https://youtu.be/PM_e0AAJZmE?t=2
This is the best comparison sites of side-by-side features I've seen for robot vacuums:

I'm torn between the S4 Max and S6 Pure solely because the S4 Max is the latest one (came out in Oct 2020) and I can't find any definitive reviews about any improvements implemented since the S6 Pure came out (Jan 2020). I'm so torn that I just ordered both but the S4 Max won't arrive until Dec 17ish.
All of the newer Roborock models (including S4 Max and S6 Pure) have top-up charging capability, but honestly, they have such long battery life, and create such efficient vacuuming paths, that most people won't even need this feature. If you have a big home, you might need it when it maps your home for the first time, or if you have lots of levels and want to do the levels all back to back on the same day, or if you have tons of new obstacles introduced to navigate around when it's doing a full house cleaning.
As for pricing, the prices have been fluctuating. The S6 Pure was cheaper than the S4 Max for a little while, then the S4 Max came back in stock and had a $110 discount. You can search Slickdeals to see the lowest historic price for each model ($320 for the S4 Max, $360 for the S6 Pure), and have some confidence that those prices will return occasionally.
Finally, I can state with confidence that the S4 Max and the S6 Pure are virtually identical, except for the added mop on the S6 Pure. They have the same dimensions, same charging dock, same battery, same vacuum power, same climbing and cleaning ability, same edge sensors and object avoidance capability, same app features.
Also Amazon was showing this to me for $319 -$30 clipped coupon few days back during thanksgiving weekend.
Random silly question - I HATE the base with the hanging cable wrapped up; totally ruins the aesthetic for me - I saw the S6 and some other highest end models have the base that actually lets you push the excess cable inside. Annoyed this doesn't. Does anyone know if any of the other models bases will work with the S6? Or any creative ways to hide the cable - short of a tv cable type cover strip?

S4 max vs S6 pure - Both are identical in terms of hardware, firmware , sensors with only differences s4 max 50$ less and S6 pure with mopping feature. Though S4 max was released recently it has no difference in hardware used.
Cons:
Charging time - Not a major thing if you are scheduling your clean routines
Bin full notification - I don't know if it notifies or stop if the bin is full . I4 does. Can anyone confirm.

Also the iRobot home app was down most of time yesterday.
Too bad Costco doesn't have Rockrobot!

S6 pure is the P5 but with a different top plate design for global market. Not sure why they have to rebrand and change things but I guess thats how it goes.
A major benefit of the S4 MAX is that you get 2 filters to interchange and wash during down cycles. S6 pure only includes 1 filter.
I also have a Roomba i3 (Which is basically the i4 with a smaller battery) and I feel like the Roomba is a better cleaner as a trade off. Roborock vacs are good on hard floors, but they're noticeably worse on carpet. Its night and day for my big black rugs..
Thats the only thing I hate about roborock. (And no, mine doesn't have the brush issue where it doesn't spin, its just worse at carpet agitation compared to an "I" series Roomba design).
Edit: Yes the roborock is a significantly faster vacuum, but it rushes the job more so than a Roomba. Literally speed demons across all my floors and misses some fine debris which would otherwise be picked up by a slower vac.
The cons of the Roomba is that a 1hour 20min Roborock job takes literally 3-5 hours to complete on the i3+... But its obviously a better cleaning job on all surface types regardless of the outdated sensory hardware on the Roomba. It moves around slower and picks up WAY more stuff....
Tough choice.
The dustbin was a huge purchase point for me, but if this vacuum is far superior maybe I can sacrifice that feature for a better robot?
Any thoughts?
