I am a happy owner for over a month. I highly recommend this vacuum. I almost amazed how much it picks up every day. The cameras really do detect obstacles and poop (I have a dog).
I run mine every day, it switches between full and sleep mode between the days. I check the container about once a week. Ate some potato chips in the sofa the first week I had it, spilled some crumbs on the floor and remote control cleaned it through the phone. God, I felt lazy. Gotta live the life brah.
Hi, I had my S7 for a week and but it pushes chairs around which make the chair almost fall down if I don’t catch the chair. Have you experienced this problems with your S6?
One thing worth mentioning - the "no mop zones" are really "no go zones" when you have the mop attached. I thought it would lift up the mop and just vacuum the carpet, but that's not the case. You have to take the mop off.
I really want a hizero robo mop. That thing would be the best robo mop period. The way the hizero works lends itself perfectly to a robot - self cleaning, virtually self propelling, extremely water and power efficient.
I just bought the Roborock E4, specifically because it DID NOT have Lidar My previous robot vacuum was a Neato D80. Its Lidar quit working slightly over three years of age. I even tried replacing the Lidar belt and motor but no joy. That's why I bought the E4. It has a gyroscope instead of Lidar which I hope will be much more long-lived. I considered the S6 MaxV but decided against it because of the Lidar. I find the E4 serves my two-story house needs very well for less than 1/3 the price. $195 from Amazon two days ago. I find your channel very informative. It has helped arrive at a robot vacuum purchase the fits my needs for a very good price.
Really happy with this purchase (got it just two days ago before this review :P ) One tip though, you can insert a thin piece of cloth into the mop pad to "fluff it up" making the mopping experience more consistent. Out-of-the-box, i find that the mop-pad is slightly too thin. Even with the weight of the water tank, the unit will not push the pad against the floor hard enough. This causes an uneven and "broken" mop lines that have areas where the water did not scrub the floor properly. Hope that explanation wasn't too confusing :P happy vacuuming!
One this I do is also wet the cloth before It starts cleaning. At least with my s6 it only releases from two small holes so wetting they cloth fixed it for me
@@JJ7Redick sry just saw this, its not difficult, the only thing you need to hand wash every use is mainly the mop pad cloth. Dust bin can hold a good amount before having to clean.
i have one for bout 2 months ? pretty good so far, cleans well on tiles. but please clean the main brush and the brush frame regularly ( at least once a week) it'll often vacuum up the wet part of the floor from the mopping , so this stick sludge forms up at the brush frame , and my bot developed this stinky foot smell (or a wet dog smell) and its really hard to get rid of! other than that, im really happy with my purchase and took a hunk of work off my wife's shoulders pro tip : have at least 3 mop cloths at the ready, 1 to use , 1 to wash and hung to dry, and 1 just for back up

Would love to see a vid comparing the different mopping options. Would also be cool to see new mopping robots vs older models like the scooba 390. Great vid!
who has chargers laying on the ground like that they probably wouldn’t get tangled in the vacuum anyway, much better test would be a cable laying on the ground straightened not crumbled into a big ball
So if you were purchasing today would you purchase the S6 Max V or the Deebot Ozmo T8 AIVI ? I specifically held off purchasing the Deebot waiting for this review.
A friend of mine has a S6 and recommended it. My sister has a Electrolux triangle cheese wedge thingy. Dug balls deep in reviews for the S6, but then the S6 MaxV was released in a local store near me, so it took that instead. It's really a beast of a machine with way better batterylife than the smaller Electrolux my sister uses. And my friend is a little jelly by my MaxV(both are very silent on sleep mode for a robot vacuum as well)
@@PantsuMann have you seen the European model of the Deebot Ozmo T8? It has the self emptying bin like the Roomba S9+ and it has a vibrating oscillating motorized mopping pad that agitates as it moves across the floor. Those are huge selling points for me.
So I had a T8 for a month and it's frustrating. Mostly around the app, but the straw that broke the back was today. I set it to clean an area. It got tangled with a cable (which is fine). Cleared the cable and continued the cleaning. I left the house for errands and came back and was like, that's weird the robot is still cleaning. Well, it got confused, started cleaning another area of the floor (which I didn't want it to since I picked a specific area) and so it got really tangled in a power cable and was dragging it around. I had to spend 10 mins untangling it from the wheel. Cleared that, and it was low on charge so it needed to head back to the charge base. It just sat there spinning around even though it was literally like 3' in front of the robot. So it's on it's way back. Granted, there are some things that I like about the T8. The potentially self emptying bin (no idea when that is actually coming to the US) and the dual brushes. The video camera is cool but is a gimmick at this point, because you can't view the video camera while it's cleaning, even if you pause cleaning. I had an incident where the robot got stuck, couldn't look at the video camera because it was in cleaning mode, couldn't look at the map in the app because if there is a firmware update, it forces you to update the firmware, and couldn't update the firmware because the battery was below 50%.... so I had to go hunt the robot down to see where it was stuff. Yes, 1st world problems. Granted Ecovacs can fix some of the issues with the software updates, but I'm not sitting on an $800 vacuum in hopes they fix them. Now I'm watching the Roborock video because I won't have the T8.
@@larock0wns Sounds like you should have gotten the T8 AIVI. The camera and artificial intelligence are there specifically to fix issues like you experienced with getting tangled on cords and items left on the floor.
@@GraysonCarr They were absolutely the T8 AIVI that I had. Sure if you had a bundle of cables, it would avoid them, but if you have like a charge cable just laying on the floor, it does not With that said, since having the RoboRock S6s, they are night and day better in regards to AI and software. And they added the ability to view video feed (even while cleaning, something the T8 doesn't do)
Amazing channel and video! It would be nice for the reviews to include collision propensity and force exerted on walls. One of my issues with my older iRobot s6 is it collides with a lot of force on walls and is slowly damaging the quarter round and doors etc. Would be nice to see whether Lidar and other navigational technologies prevent excessive collision force on walls. Just a thought! Keep up the great reviews
The only thing I actually got my iRobot i7 was for the self emptying base, this is so convenient! But I agree, the Roborock seems to get the latest tech though.
I chose this model specifically over the newer S7 because of the monitoring capabilities, which is just a nice bonus. A portable monitoring system sounds great to me. At this point, modern society is being monitored by so many instances, private and government, that it is pretty much impossible to remain in the shadows, as it were. It's the price we pay for convenience, and this is also true in the case of this vacuum cleaner. Potential for malicious monitoring (though I doubt it), but upsides that may be worth it.
Hi, I bought S7 and will return it because it pushes chairs around which make the chair almost fall down if I don’t catch the chair. I’m wondering if S6 has this problem?
Is there a leaderboard? Would love to see how this compares with competitors similar to it. Would love to see ratings across multiple categories like: Suction Power Sand & Hair Test Time to vacuum Mop capability Run Time AI App Functionality And a few others. Would be so cool!
Thanks, this thing is nuts. No need to clean the main and side brush at all and the navigation ability is phenomenal. Thanks for your honest review which made me buy this one. :)
My T8s are going back. I responded in another thread in the comments. The app and robot (at times) is frustrating. I'm now looking at getting the S6 (which is why I'm here watching this video)
Can you confirm that the main brush on the the maxv actually spins on carpets? There seems to be a known issue with them and I've been reading some are being told it is a "feature" or "be design" to not have the main brush roller spin on carpet. Not high pile carpet, average plush carpet. There are video showing how to run the vacuum with the lid open and the dust bin out so you can see the roller being dragged as soon as it hits carpet. Would love to know if you see the same since you are a reliable source. I can confirm mine is doing this 3 days after running it when it used to spin on the carpet.
Looks like a very good robo vacuum, but the S6 looks like an even better pick now with a price reduction? AI seems cool, but I prefer not having stuff lying on my floor so it seems unnecessary.
Over on Reddit we're discovering that a lot, if not all of the S6 MaxV vacuums don't actually spin the main brush on carpet and Roborock support is dismissing it as normal so far. www.reddit.com/r/Roborock/comments/jeuzb8/how_to_check_if_your_main_brush_actually_works_on/ It would be great to get your input and see if your unit did the same.
About the privacy concerns, it might be important to note that Roborock is a chinese company (part of Xiaomi). So if the chinese government wants to see any collected data, there's not much these companies can do to stop it even if they would want to. It's probably even less protected than a US company is from the government/patriot act. The manner in which surveillance is conducted is probably very similar to the US, but China is considerably less lenient regarding expression of anti government opinions. This is most likely nothing to be concerned about unless you are chinese (or possibly of chinese heritage) and spend time in China.
I have owned the s6 MAXV from end of May now, and it is much better than the Miele scout 2 vision i had before, the only thing I don't like is the mopping, It makes "streaks", but i guess that is the microfibre cloth that is bad quality, my homemade one is much better, just use a microfibre cloth and cut it with a Scissor :)
I don't think there'd be a need to. The only thing that the S6 MaxV actually does better than the S5 Max is object avoidance thanks to its cameras. Other than that, those 2 are more or less equal.
@@robdudeman7540 the mapping is mostly the same for all S6s and S5s, so the difference is marginal when vacuuming, the only advantage as said by Falcon is if you have shoes and cables around, else there's no difference.
@@robdudeman7540 the speed at which it will clean a room and its ability to map out the house and navigate Which is due to S6 MaxV having better navigation, & that is thanks to it having an extra pair of cameras, that's all. everything else, on paper at least, are near identical, so much so that you could just consider S6 MaxV to be a S5 Max with eyes added. the difference in time would be +-5 minutes at best----a number too insignificant to deliberately bring up.
ppl are worried about the camera, yea like your phone does not have a camera and always on location and dont forget how google, amazon and other apps are listening to you, even if you allready got an robot with lidar they allready got your location AND how your house map looks like
Awesome stuff - now if only this could empty itself into a bin, it'd be about perfect... Looks like a big boost in lowering maintenance. Once they combine the two I think I will finally try a robot vacuum. Until then I still think it's better to do it myself. Fingers crossed it happens soon!
Even without the ability to empty itself, investing in a robot vacuum is well worth your time and money. My apartment has never been cleaner and I’m a neat freak. I run my vacuum bot about 3 times a week and my floors are spotless. I also have a separate mopping bot that works great and is used at least 2 times per week. I can set the vacbot to run while I’m not home or I’m busy doing something else and all I have to do is empty the bin which I would have to do with my Dyson anyway. Take it from me, it’s worth the investment.
I check mine once a week. Most of the times I empty it every two weeks. It takes 3 minutes tops, I'm pretty sure its worth it even without the self emptying of the container...
I think it would be very interesting If you test dysons new cinetic big ball absolute 2. Since it claims to be the only vacuum with HEPA like behaviour, but without any filters.
Based on your review, my understanding is that the S6 is the best robo vac out there, but you list the T8 as your favorite on the amazon link. Can you please explain why? Thank you in advance. Awesome videos, keep reviewing 👏🏼
Suggestion - Since cords are by far the most problematic and common mischief robot vacuums get into and cords normally lay flat on the floor instead of balled up in a pile as they were in the test, please try more realistic cord tests. I love my Roborock S4, but if it could avoid cords as they exist in the real world (not balled-up in a pile), I'd love it even more.
Don’t know when the network is trained, but training needs some data and CPU/GPU power. Maybe it has to be charging for that procedure to start and you should let it bump into the fake shit for some times after charging
It can clean and mop without the app, but most of the reasons to get this one are app features. Roborock makes a cheaper version that really doesn't need an app or a camera to get the most out of it ruclips.net/video/iv6liSKAOXI/видео.html
I have many problems with the product, here is the list (unfortunately I can not attache images) - The robot does not recognize itself so the wardrobe has a mirror consider as more space. It can recognize many things, why can not recognize the mirrors based on his own image? - The chairs and any furniture have U shape legs (so each pair of legs connected) always try to climb on it and of course stuck there. I have to move every furniture like that before the start. Extremely annoying. - If I close the door where the robot cleaning when finishing the room gets panic instead of just send a notification "I come in that door and it closed, can you let me out?" It just goes around and even after the door opened it does not know what to do just go back end fort for a long time. P.S.: would worth to improve your test room with a mirror and a chair with I_I legs
My s6 maxv brush does not spin on carpet. Roborock says this is as designed. No one should but this vacuum if they have any carpet. Even on low pile carpet it has problems. Ecovacs t8 aivi has not had any problems
The main brush or the side brush? If the side brush then it is a standard thing Roborock is doing. Ecovacs does it too with their AI robots. They do it when they sense and object and are avoiding it, also Roborock does it to save battery life I think. If it is the main brush roller, then I'm not sure.
Hello. I really like your reviews and halped me a lot in making a decision about my new robot vacuum. I am between Deebot Ozmo 950 and Roborock S6 Max V. Witch one you think is better? Thank you
Dyson has a new air purifier called the pure humidify cool I think you should review it. And also maybe do a air purifier competition video with all of your air purifiers!
Should I buy this or the Deebot T8? I have three floors; 2300 sqf; mixed hardwood with rugs, tile, and carpet; a dog with a bunch of toys scattered around; and a couple power cables on the floor. Please advise!
I can get the S6maxV for $80 more than the S5 Max. I'm all hard surfaces and a few throw rugs. I have wires and shoes and such always around. Am I better off spending the extra $80 for the navigation? Also live in the desert so floors get sandy. Also live in the desert so floors get sandy.
In your videos I see you test the robovacs ability to climb over obstacles and under overhangs of various heights, but I do not see you report those numbers anywhere. This information is crucial for some us with high thresholds or low furniture and this info is very hard to come by. Could you please report those numbers in your reviews or comparisons?
4 года назад+1
Would you be able to tell me which minimum height does the robot can go under ?
Where's the Xiaomi 1c review. It's by far the best bang for the buck. Have everything besides the lidar. Also I think you should add nut shells to the testing. They somehow manage to easily go into the all xiaomi vacuums gearbox making it at best noisy or breaking it. Also voids warranty. Serious issue.
The Roborock website doesn't seem to offer downloads of the software that controls the S6 MaxV. Either it's too new and the website is slow to catch up or they want you to call them or jump through hoops of some kind to get the software.
Hiii nice video. 👍🏻 if you have time can you please do a review on s5max and s6maxv mop vs iRobot’s brava jet m6 i am looking for a robotic mop but don’t which to pick please your review will help a lot thank you if you do.
Are there any plans for Robotrock to have auto-emptying? That is what is currently edging it out against the Ecovacs T8 for me. I’d also love it if you could test the functionality when the vacuum is either disconnected from WiFi, or is connected to local WiFi but blocked from public internet access. I would probably corral any new robot vacuum into a separate network on my Eero.
For the multi story / level mapping, do you need to bring the charging unit up to the next story and plug it in before the robot will know the map? Or can you just pickup the robot, put it upstairs and it will go itself?
Quick question! So you say the amount of water is electrically controlled so does that mean that we can fill it up without it dispensing and then when it's done vacuuming it can mop automatically after like an iRobot combo would? I'm personally really liking what Roborock has been doing but there are things I'd like to see: -I'd like to see a second brush on the other side of the vacuum because it would prevent a lot of hair from getting into the big wheel. The same goes for the front wheel but I have no solution for that one. Maybe a D shaped robot with the brush in the front and the wheels behind it would do the trick but that requires a re design from scratch. -Another thing I'd like to see is the lidar lowered so it can fit under more things. -Last but not least I'd like to see liquid avoidance in case of pets peeing in the house or a spill etc.
You can adjust water flow to the pad & turn the mopping feature off completely, so yes, you can set it to do a mopping round after the bot's done vacuuming. But since the vacuuming function can't be turned off completely to begin with, the bot'd still be vacuuming while doing a mopping round. Lidar works by having lasers spinning about while shooting out, so there's no way it can be tucked away in the bot. Given how the bot is less than 10cm tall to begin with, it's also as low as it gets. Making the bot any flatter would come with a good variety of compromises with the tech we have now. Spill avoidance would mean being able to detect liquids & wetness, which would require sensor technology of a whole different kind that's NOT available to ANY robot capable of sensing stuff right now. Given the limited need for something like that to begin with, & companies have no tendencies to develop things that few would want, don't expect something like that to come to botvacs in the next 10 years at least.
When ours breaks, I can’t wait to take it apart to see the little person inside that was driving it.

I purchased the T8 AIVI with empty station off your recommendation on Black Friday. I would still love to see the head to head video for science.
Nice. Could you please make a comparison of S6MaxV, S5 Max and Deebot OZMO T8 AIVI
OK
who has chargers laying on the ground like that they probably wouldn’t get tangled in the vacuum anyway, much better test would be a cable laying on the ground straightened not crumbled into a big ball
So if you were purchasing today would you purchase the S6 Max V or the Deebot Ozmo T8 AIVI ? I specifically held off purchasing the Deebot waiting for this review.
A friend of mine has a S6 and recommended it. My sister has a Electrolux triangle cheese wedge thingy. Dug balls deep in reviews for the S6, but then the S6 MaxV was released in a local store near me, so it took that instead. It's really a beast of a machine with way better batterylife than the smaller Electrolux my sister uses. And my friend is a little jelly by my MaxV(both are very silent on sleep mode for a robot vacuum as well)
@@PantsuMann have you seen the European model of the Deebot Ozmo T8? It has the self emptying bin like the Roomba S9+ and it has a vibrating oscillating motorized mopping pad that agitates as it moves across the floor. Those are huge selling points for me.
So I had a T8 for a month and it's frustrating. Mostly around the app, but the straw that broke the back was today. I set it to clean an area. It got tangled with a cable (which is fine). Cleared the cable and continued the cleaning. I left the house for errands and came back and was like, that's weird the robot is still cleaning. Well, it got confused, started cleaning another area of the floor (which I didn't want it to since I picked a specific area) and so it got really tangled in a power cable and was dragging it around. I had to spend 10 mins untangling it from the wheel. Cleared that, and it was low on charge so it needed to head back to the charge base. It just sat there spinning around even though it was literally like 3' in front of the robot. So it's on it's way back.
Granted, there are some things that I like about the T8. The potentially self emptying bin (no idea when that is actually coming to the US) and the dual brushes. The video camera is cool but is a gimmick at this point, because you can't view the video camera while it's cleaning, even if you pause cleaning. I had an incident where the robot got stuck, couldn't look at the video camera because it was in cleaning mode, couldn't look at the map in the app because if there is a firmware update, it forces you to update the firmware, and couldn't update the firmware because the battery was below 50%.... so I had to go hunt the robot down to see where it was stuff. Yes, 1st world problems.
Granted Ecovacs can fix some of the issues with the software updates, but I'm not sitting on an $800 vacuum in hopes they fix them.
Now I'm watching the Roborock video because I won't have the T8.
@@larock0wns Sounds like you should have gotten the T8 AIVI. The camera and artificial intelligence are there specifically to fix issues like you experienced with getting tangled on cords and items left on the floor.
@@GraysonCarr They were absolutely the T8 AIVI that I had. Sure if you had a bundle of cables, it would avoid them, but if you have like a charge cable just laying on the floor, it does not
With that said, since having the RoboRock S6s, they are night and day better in regards to AI and software. And they added the ability to view video feed (even while cleaning, something the T8 doesn't do)
Amazing channel and video! It would be nice for the reviews to include collision propensity and force exerted on walls. One of my issues with my older iRobot s6 is it collides with a lot of force on walls and is slowly damaging the quarter round and doors etc. Would be nice to see whether Lidar and other navigational technologies prevent excessive collision force on walls. Just a thought! Keep up the great reviews
Thats an interesting thought. Thank you!
I would really like to have my iRobot i7 with advanced tech like the Robotrock. Roborock seems to be the ones to get.
The only thing I actually got my iRobot i7 was for the self emptying base, this is so convenient! But I agree, the Roborock seems to get the latest tech though.
I chose this model specifically over the newer S7 because of the monitoring capabilities, which is just a nice bonus. A portable monitoring system sounds great to me. At this point, modern society is being monitored by so many instances, private and government, that it is pretty much impossible to remain in the shadows, as it were.
It's the price we pay for convenience, and this is also true in the case of this vacuum cleaner. Potential for malicious monitoring (though I doubt it), but upsides that may be worth it.
Hi, I bought S7 and will return it because it pushes chairs around which make the chair almost fall down if I don’t catch the chair. I’m wondering if S6 has this problem?
Thanks for being so professionnal!! I love watching your video. With your recommandations I bought Tineco S12 and Ecovacs Ozmo 950
What are the airflow numbers?
Is there a leaderboard? Would love to see how this compares with competitors similar to it. Would love to see ratings across multiple categories like:
Suction Power
Sand & Hair Test
Time to vacuum
Mop capability
Run Time
AI
App Functionality
And a few others. Would be so cool!
Thanks, this thing is nuts. No need to clean the main and side brush at all and the navigation ability is phenomenal.
Thanks for your honest review which made me buy this one. :)
Any chance there is a more detailed review coming showing your usual hard floor, carpet, suction, etc. testing results?
This is the future! Imagine what the S7, S8, S9 will be able to do in terms of AI
Shame that the S7 doesn't have any cameras. Everyone's waiting for an S7 MaxV
Which would you choose between the S6 MaxV and the T8 AIVI?
If you want better navigation and cleaning ability buy the s6 max v if you want self emptying bin buy the deebot t8 aivi
My T8s are going back. I responded in another thread in the comments. The app and robot (at times) is frustrating. I'm now looking at getting the S6 (which is why I'm here watching this video)
Can you confirm that the main brush on the the maxv actually spins on carpets? There seems to be a known issue with them and I've been reading some are being told it is a "feature" or "be design" to not have the main brush roller spin on carpet. Not high pile carpet, average plush carpet. There are video showing how to run the vacuum with the lid open and the dust bin out so you can see the roller being dragged as soon as it hits carpet. Would love to know if you see the same since you are a reliable source. I can confirm mine is doing this 3 days after running it when it used to spin on the carpet.
Looks like a very good robo vacuum, but the S6 looks like an even better pick now with a price reduction? AI seems cool, but I prefer not having stuff lying on my floor so it seems unnecessary.
S6 was a really bad release. S5 Max blow the regular S6 away
@@xeon2k8 Yeah, the idea of the regular S6 was utterly dumb, given how S5 Max is actually cheaper & better in just about every goddamn way.
Would you buy this vacuum over the s5 max?
Asking the real questions.. right now there is a 400 dollar difference between the two.
@@jamesharrington2385 600 and 200 dollars?
@@jamesharrington2385 where I am they are at the same price on Amazon ~550€
Over on Reddit we're discovering that a lot, if not all of the S6 MaxV vacuums don't actually spin the main brush on carpet and Roborock support is dismissing it as normal so far.
www.reddit.com/r/Roborock/comments/jeuzb8/how_to_check_if_your_main_brush_actually_works_on/
It would be great to get your input and see if your unit did the same.
Hi any news about this issue ? Will they fix it ?
About the privacy concerns, it might be important to note that Roborock is a chinese company (part of Xiaomi). So if the chinese government wants to see any collected data, there's not much these companies can do to stop it even if they would want to. It's probably even less protected than a US company is from the government/patriot act. The manner in which surveillance is conducted is probably very similar to the US, but China is considerably less lenient regarding expression of anti government opinions. This is most likely nothing to be concerned about unless you are chinese (or possibly of chinese heritage) and spend time in China.
I have owned the s6 MAXV from end of May now, and it is much better than the Miele scout 2 vision i had before, the only thing I don't like is the mopping, It makes "streaks", but i guess that is the microfibre cloth that is bad quality, my homemade one is much better, just use a microfibre cloth and cut it with a Scissor :)
Your are a legend. The vacuum reviewer legend
Aw thanks. :)
Would you buy this vacuum over the Ozmo T8 AIVI? I've been waiting for the T8 to go on sale!
Agreed. And where are the airflow numbers for this review? And the crevice test?
Mohamad Suleiman T8 has a self emptying station.
I see the Ozmo is still listed as the channels favourite robot so I guess that tells you their preference
CFM suction?
Can you do a head-to-head comparison between the S6 MaxV vs S5 Max to see if it's worth the extra couple hundred for the average consumer?
I don't think there'd be a need to. The only thing that the S6 MaxV actually does better than the S5 Max is object avoidance thanks to its cameras. Other than that, those 2 are more or less equal.
@@FalconWindblader no there are other differences - the speed at which it will clean a room and its ability to map out the house and navigate
agree 100% we need a S6 MaxV vs S5 Max review.....if you want to buy a roborock than its either one of the two as the leading options
@@robdudeman7540 the mapping is mostly the same for all S6s and S5s, so the difference is marginal when vacuuming, the only advantage as said by Falcon is if you have shoes and cables around, else there's no difference.
@@robdudeman7540 the speed at which it will clean a room and its ability to map out the house and navigate
Which is due to S6 MaxV having better navigation, & that is thanks to it having an extra pair of cameras, that's all. everything else, on paper at least, are near identical, so much so that you could just consider S6 MaxV to be a S5 Max with eyes added. the difference in time would be +-5 minutes at best----a number too insignificant to deliberately bring up.
ppl are worried about the camera, yea like your phone does not have a camera and always on location and dont forget how google, amazon and other apps are listening to you, even if you allready got an robot with lidar they allready got your location AND how your house map looks like
Awesome stuff - now if only this could empty itself into a bin, it'd be about perfect...
Looks like a big boost in lowering maintenance. Once they combine the two I think I will finally try a robot vacuum. Until then I still think it's better to do it myself.
Fingers crossed it happens soon!
Even without the ability to empty itself, investing in a robot vacuum is well worth your time and money. My apartment has never been cleaner and I’m a neat freak. I run my vacuum bot about 3 times a week and my floors are spotless. I also have a separate mopping bot that works great and is used at least 2 times per week. I can set the vacbot to run while I’m not home or I’m busy doing something else and all I have to do is empty the bin which I would have to do with my Dyson anyway. Take it from me, it’s worth the investment.
I check mine once a week. Most of the times I empty it every two weeks. It takes 3 minutes tops, I'm pretty sure its worth it even without the self emptying of the container...
please do Roborock S6 MaxV vs Ecovacs Deebot Ozmo T8 AIVI
I think it would be very interesting If you test dysons new cinetic big ball absolute 2. Since it claims to be the only vacuum with HEPA like behaviour, but without any filters.
Based on your review, my understanding is that the S6 is the best robo vac out there, but you list the T8 as your favorite on the amazon link. Can you please explain why? Thank you in advance. Awesome videos, keep reviewing 👏🏼
I mean, if you really wanna test out the ‘Pet Waste’ avoidance, maybe take it to your nearest animal shelter to put it through its paces?
Banish it to a biological mine field?!?! What did that poor little vac do to you? (J/K! 😉)
Chad Pollman - Fair point, it does have AI, it may incite revolution amongst out tech slaves 😜
Please report also metric units
Suggestion - Since cords are by far the most problematic and common mischief robot vacuums get into and cords normally lay flat on the floor instead of balled up in a pile as they were in the test, please try more realistic cord tests. I love my Roborock S4, but if it could avoid cords as they exist in the real world (not balled-up in a pile), I'd love it even more.
Great, been loving my S5 after seeing yjr review here. Will upgrade to v7 if it will get the vacuuming tower to extend autonomous operating time
I just got one of these. It is replacing my old LG Roboking.
After two weeks of use, I can say I extremely happy with it.
It has now been close to two years. It is still working perfectly even after doing my floor every day.
Don’t know when the network is trained, but training needs some data and CPU/GPU power. Maybe it has to be charging for that procedure to start and you should let it bump into the fake shit for some times after charging
Vacuum wars
Do you think that roborock smarter than ozmo T8 .. or the opposite ??
What do you think????
Thank you for the great review. Can I set it to clean and mop without using the app?
Is there one without a camera that you will recommend?
It can clean and mop without the app, but most of the reasons to get this one are app features. Roborock makes a cheaper version that really doesn't need an app or a camera to get the most out of it
ruclips.net/video/iv6liSKAOXI/видео.html
@@VacuumWars Thanks, unfortunately, I can't find Roborock E4 in UAE. Will have to look for alternative.
Review the iLife w400
I agree
You didn't say what the cfm was for the robot.
I have many problems with the product, here is the list (unfortunately I can not attache images)
- The robot does not recognize itself so the wardrobe has a mirror consider as more space. It can recognize many things, why can not recognize the mirrors based on his own image?
- The chairs and any furniture have U shape legs (so each pair of legs connected) always try to climb on it and of course stuck there. I have to move every furniture like that before the start. Extremely annoying.
- If I close the door where the robot cleaning when finishing the room gets panic instead of just send a notification "I come in that door and it closed, can you let me out?" It just goes around and even after the door opened it does not know what to do just go back end fort for a long time.
P.S.: would worth to improve your test room with a mirror and a chair with I_I legs
Will you be reviewing the Roborock s4 max any time soon? Interested in that for people who don't need mopping.
My s6 maxv brush does not spin on carpet. Roborock says this is as designed. No one should but this vacuum if they have any carpet. Even on low pile carpet it has problems. Ecovacs t8 aivi has not had any problems
The main brush or the side brush? If the side brush then it is a standard thing Roborock is doing. Ecovacs does it too with their AI robots. They do it when they sense and object and are avoiding it, also Roborock does it to save battery life I think. If it is the main brush roller, then I'm not sure.
@@VacuumWars the main brush of the vacuum stops
i can't really understand why doesn’t roborock include the viomi feature of the Y motion, that would improve a lot the mopping
pode explicar melhor?
Yes, I am looking at the Viomi 3... I like the Y mopping function.
@@tiagoaaa viomi robots have a special feature, something like “intense mopping” that does kind of a zigazag motion to clean better
Great video. I just upgraded to this one. :)
Nice 👍
Hello. I really like your reviews and halped me a lot in making a decision about my new robot vacuum. I am between Deebot Ozmo 950 and Roborock S6 Max V. Witch one you think is better? Thank you
yes i was waiting for this 👍🏻
Dyson has a new air purifier called the pure humidify cool I think you should review it. And also maybe do a air purifier competition video with all of your air purifiers!
Should I buy this or the Deebot T8? I have three floors; 2300 sqf; mixed hardwood with rugs, tile, and carpet; a dog with a bunch of toys scattered around; and a couple power cables on the floor. Please advise!
Please review the Miele Scout RX2!!!!
Can you do a comparison video of the S6 MaxV against the Deebot T8 ?
Nice review! Thanks 4 uploading!
It would be very cool if they add a scanning feature to let consumers scan items and save it to that data base u talked about.
I can get the S6maxV for $80 more than the S5 Max. I'm all hard surfaces and a few throw rugs. I have wires and shoes and such always around. Am I better off spending the extra $80 for the navigation? Also live in the desert so floors get sandy. Also live in the desert so floors get sandy.
Any good? Better than the Neato D7? I notice the small binbox in the Roborock..
In your videos I see you test the robovacs ability to climb over obstacles and under overhangs of various heights, but I do not see you report those numbers anywhere. This information is crucial for some us with high thresholds or low furniture and this info is very hard to come by. Could you please report those numbers in your reviews or comparisons?
Would you be able to tell me which minimum height does the robot can go under ?
10 cm for sure. Maybe even 9,65 cm as the robot is 9,6 cm high.
yeey finally this vacuum been waiting for this video long
What one do you like better? The debot t8 or the roborock s6 maxv
In your opinion.. is the S6 maxv worth the 200$ more than S5 Max?
The multilevel how does it work? Do you need to move the base (or have 2 bases) on different floors? Or can you just move the robot on its own?
No need to move the base. Just move the robot and it will know where it is 😄
Great review! I'm just wondering if multi floor napping is updated over to older models like s5 max?
1:12 the S5 Max also has only 2000 Pa stated suction power, no?
So basically, the only big difference between this one and the S5 Max is the obstacle avoidance technology?
Exactly!
I think my Deebot has me a little spoiled. Placing the no go and no mop zones seems like a hassle to me.
Sounds like a winner.
Where's the Xiaomi 1c review. It's by far the best bang for the buck. Have everything besides the lidar.
Also I think you should add nut shells to the testing. They somehow manage to easily go into the all xiaomi vacuums gearbox making it at best noisy or breaking it. Also voids warranty. Serious issue.
If no data is being stored, how does it learn to avoid unknown obstacles? If it doesn't remember anything, how could it learn?
Would love to see a comparison video review of the Roborock s6 MaxV vs the Echovac DEEBOT T8
The Roborock website doesn't seem to offer downloads of the software that controls the S6 MaxV. Either it's too new and the website is slow to catch up or they want you to call them or jump through hoops of some kind to get the software.
Hiii nice video. 👍🏻 if you have time can you please do a review on s5max and s6maxv mop vs iRobot’s brava jet m6 i am looking for a robotic mop but don’t which to pick please your review will help a lot thank you if you do.
Yea plz do a video about that
Great idea
Are there any plans for Robotrock to have auto-emptying? That is what is currently edging it out against the Ecovacs T8 for me. I’d also love it if you could test the functionality when the vacuum is either disconnected from WiFi, or is connected to local WiFi but blocked from public internet access. I would probably corral any new robot vacuum into a separate network on my Eero.
The suction power on the S5 Max is only 2000 pa, not 2500 pa.
For the multi story / level mapping, do you need to bring the charging unit up to the next story and plug it in before the robot will know the map? Or can you just pickup the robot, put it upstairs and it will go itself?
The latter is true!!
No need to bring it upstairs ;) Just the robot.
Please test viomi robot. In my opinion it should be interesting, because of completely different design of moping attachment.
Ok. It maybe have 2500 Pa, but only in Max mode. But you cannot use Max mode longer than 5 minutes. This may damage electric engine.
Quick question! So you say the amount of water is electrically controlled so does that mean that we can fill it up without it dispensing and then when it's done vacuuming it can mop automatically after like an iRobot combo would?
I'm personally really liking what Roborock has been doing but there are things I'd like to see:
-I'd like to see a second brush on the other side of the vacuum because it would prevent a lot of hair from getting into the big wheel. The same goes for the front wheel but I have no solution for that one. Maybe a D shaped robot with the brush in the front and the wheels behind it would do the trick but that requires a re design from scratch.
-Another thing I'd like to see is the lidar lowered so it can fit under more things.
-Last but not least I'd like to see liquid avoidance in case of pets peeing in the house or a spill etc.
You can adjust water flow to the pad & turn the mopping feature off completely, so yes, you can set it to do a mopping round after the bot's done vacuuming. But since the vacuuming function can't be turned off completely to begin with, the bot'd still be vacuuming while doing a mopping round.
Lidar works by having lasers spinning about while shooting out, so there's no way it can be tucked away in the bot. Given how the bot is less than 10cm tall to begin with, it's also as low as it gets. Making the bot any flatter would come with a good variety of compromises with the tech we have now.
Spill avoidance would mean being able to detect liquids & wetness, which would require sensor technology of a whole different kind that's NOT available to ANY robot capable of sensing stuff right now. Given the limited need for something like that to begin with, & companies have no tendencies to develop things that few would want, don't expect something like that to come to botvacs in the next 10 years at least.
