(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.

Thinking about getting this since the S5 seems like it may be discontinued and OOS everywhere.

with so many talk and deal on these vacuums it got really confusing....

I'm also considering the 360 S5 [amazon.com] at$250 right now. Better specs and quite cheaper but maybe not as highly rated.

Which model would say is better for carpet? We have a mix of hardwood and carpet throughout our house. Don't think we would use the mop much
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.

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.

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?
