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?
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 But its obviously a better cleaning job on all surface types regardless of the outdated sensory hardware on the Roomba.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.
