Featured Comments

S7 has the best mopping since it vibrates on surface.. only problem is it's pricey. Especially compared to chinese domestic market which is more logical pricing wise.. Chinese models (most higher end Roborocks) also have a few upgraded parts compared to the global models (charger and side brush) which make no sense since the global version is way more $$.

S5 MAX is more of an entry Roborock (P5 design shared with S6 PURE and S4 MAX) with the mopping system from the T7 PRO (s6 max v) and T7 model (not available globally).

S6 is just an older generation "upgrade" to the original S5 or "S50" model. It has the worse mopping, but the robot is more of a former flagship design and has higher build quality. Certain sensors are also better.

So in terms of value.. S5 MAX would likely be your bet since you value mopping.. but ehh..its not amazing per say. S5 MAX is certainly better than S6 for this specific task though.

Mopping wise.. S7 > S6 MAX V = S5 MAX> anything else.
Vacuum wise.. Just depends on surfaces. They all trade off in some way, regardless of what certain reviewers reviewing 1 specific sample say.
I feel like Roborock fumbled the ball on the use of the terms "mop" and "mopping" in their description of this unit. It gives people the unrealistic expectation that this unit will scrub floors.

As most of us know, this unit wipes floors to keep down surface dirt and dust. If used consistently, it actually does a great job of it as long as the wipe pad is cleaned regularly. But it is definitely not a scrubbing mop.
Depends... S6 (T6) is an older generation, but "higher end" design. S5 MAX is a newer generation but based on a lower end P5 platform with "T7" mop features.

Airflow is generally higher on the newer models, but they sit up higher relatively and trade off performance wise.



S4 MAX... Its internally identical to S5 MAX and S6 Pure, but tuned slightly different.

Airflow, height, and general tolerance impact actual performance on surface. Most reviewers ignore these aspects.

Deciding between an S5 Max, S7 and S6, where mopping and value are important. Which would you choose in this case?

Great explanation. Rep'd you already and probably will choose one of these three based on price/value or wait.

I can't speak to that specific model of iLife, but I will say I've had 2 iLife vacs fail on me, and I won't be trying a third.

Lidar seems like a must-have, so this deal is tempting. Debating pulling the trigger on the Robo S4 or waiting for a deal on the Wyze.

I went for a very tempting deal earlier on the Proscenic M6 PRO. Based on the info here and the reviews, I canceled and went with the Roborock S5 Max. While they have a similar feature set, the Roborock sounds better. I hope it will be worth the extra dough.

I just bought a refurb S6MAX which I assume performs similarly and it is spectacular. I had a NEato Botvac connected and the navigation is infinitely better - it's worth it to me for that alone.

I did some comparisons before I read this thread and went with a Roborock S5 Max. Seems like a great value at $380 price. I was mostly interested in upgrading an old robot vac and doing some basic mopping, in the same unit. S5 Max looks like it should handle that.

For people that don't care about mopping, Roborock S4 Max seems to be the robot vac to beat. I compared the S4 Max to Roomba and Shark in the same price range, and it looked like it was better at vacuuming. Roomba and Shark have self-emptying dust bins, which is a nice feature. But Roomba and Shark aren't better at picking stuff up off the floor.

That is BY FAR the best deal in robotic vacuums out there. And at almost half the price of the S7, it is a steal. Get the S5 Max or wait to spend 2x the money for the S8 next year.

Do you just use water or any other solution? I think generally water is bad for wood floor.

Finally! The S5 max deal has arrived!

Agreed it's a tough call between all of them, but S5 Max seems the most balanced unit out of all the Roborocks regularly on sale sub $400. Guess I'll found out soon enough.

FYI, Walmart has the same price for any non-prime members https://www.walmart.com/ip/Roboro.../676604396

Just be wary of reviews. Roborock seem to have higher tolerances than most companies when it comes to vacuum performance and the user "reviewing it".

Also like I mentioned.. the P5 model generation (S6 PURE, S5 MAX, S4 MAX) are fairly identical internally but the tuning is variable..

-S4 MAX has been consistently reported to have higher airflow at max setting.
-S6 PURE and S5 MAX seem identical on flow (messured), but the S6 PURE is specifically worse on carpet in my experiences.. The older S6(T6) was much better for me personally.

I'm not holding that as truth but rather.. I think these vacuums are inconsistent when compared next to each other with a sample size of (1) unit.

Just giving my 2c since people seem to ride or die on which model is "better".

Great comment. That's what I read on one site's review comparing these models.
