This my long overdue review of the 360 S5, which in my opinion is the undisputed king of budget vacuum robots in 2021.

Great review I want to try my hand at a LIDAR robot and I think this would be a great one to try out 🤙
Thanks for the review!! I bought it for my bassement. You convince me
Very good review! Bought mine today. I know it's a bit older now but I got a great deal on it. I also live in an apartment that's not too big so I think this vacuum will be perfect.
Nice video mike 👍👍
Thanks!
Mike you are absolutely right!!!
I purchased this robot for $199 from Amazon like 3 weeks ago, I was about to return it to replace it with Lydsto R1....Now I plan to keep it as a secondary robot together with my Lydsto, me and my wife fell in love with it, the navigation is fantastic and it's smooth, wish it will come with a self empty bin .
You have a niche in the robot vacuum world, your channel will grow exponentially, good luck
Thank you so much! I hope you're right! :)
Unfortunately few days after my first post I got an error telling me that the laser have an obstruction, I cleaned several times but was unable to make it work again, finally I returned...now I have my Lydsto R1 alone
@@indianglock I'm sorry to hear that. I hope you have better luck with the Lydsto.
I am all about giving these lesser expensive vacuums a try. I have a moosoo R4 from Walmart with Lidar and am VERY impressed with it. I still love people telling me how their more expensive ones are better. Tech is tech. How do you feel about it just having one spinner? I have to look at your videos to see if you recommend anything else at this price range.
One side brush is fine, I can't really see any advantage to two. The 360 S5 is hard to beat, but if you spend a little more, you can get a robot with a self-empty dock.
I just got the S5's big brother yesterday, the 360 S10 since there are a lot of good reviews about it. If you like the S5 you may want to give the S10 a try, it has three lasers to help it map better. So far I'm really happy with it, it doesn't have an auto empty dock but I'm fine with that, I prefer the dock to take less space. The app is useable with speech but a lot of the controls are unlabeled. Everything speaks really well when setting up the robot with your network but after that, Voiceover just says "button" for a lot of the controls. I was able to set the suction to the highest and I can start the bot without problems. Interestingly the settings screen speaks really well and is very well labeled and there are some unique settings that I have not seen on my other robots, this one is bot number 8 for me. You can set it to automatically clean carpet areas in a cris cross pattern, and to automatically clean the kitchen and bathroom last. Of course with other bots I guess you could do that with the room clean mode and just set those rooms to be cleaned last. There is another setting that I have not seen on my other bots and I have no idea why they even provide this setting, I can't think of a single reason why you would ever want to do this. You can disable the cliff sensors, and when you try to do that, the app warns you that doing this will make the robot much more likely to fall down stairs. Again, I can't think of a single reason why you would ever want to disable that. There is one other odd thing about this bot. I prefer to run all of the bots on the highest power setting for the best clean possible, on the 360 S10, when you use max power, it drops the power slightly after a couple of minutes, although it's still higher than the next lowest setting, not sure why it does that. Anyway, if you like the S5 I would suggest trying the S10, so far I really like it, I would also give the Robovac X8 a try, that's Eufy's top model and it's also excellent.
I'd love to review it if they send me one. I have too many people sending me stuff to ever buy robot vacuums again.
Great video, have you been able to test this compared to the Wyze robot?
No, I don't have that one yet, but it's coming this week. From what I have seen, the app is not comparable. Has many of the same features, but the execution is not as competent. But we shall see! Another possible contender is the iLife A10, but it needs a firmware update to stop it from making absurdly wide turns.
4:38 ouch! I have had robots with a solid brush and with detachable tips. And I do make a big deal about that since my hair is everywhere and removing it off the edges is a headache. When I first received the S5 I was amazed by its performance, especially on carpet. And totally agree with you, one of the best apps in the industry, never had any issues with that. I used its first model, 360 S6 for about 2 years, it wasn't as good on carpets but the price=performance was one of the best back then. The S5 for $200? Give me two! But I would mention that its battery does not last long on max mode. I remember it being something close to 40 minutes on the highest settings, might be wrong tho.
As always, your videos are fire, keep it up!
@@SmartRobotReviews Thank you! What I mean by that is even with hair tangled around the brush, the robot still cleans quite well. Maybe one of us should make a video testing that! I nominate you because your hair is easier to see on the brushes. :P
And yeah, I forgot to mention the shitty battery life. It's as bad as the Roomba i7. But...199!
@@MrRoombato I mean... 199! We hear each other on this one :)
Very cool robot my friend. I convinced a coworker to get one because they were on sale for $199. Now if I would compare the 360 S5 to the WYZE robot which is similar priced this is a better choice. Build quality and app features are better on the 360 from what I tested. I do appreciate multiple map saving up to 10 I think. Good job on the video, I won’t show you my 360 S5 review video once it available because yours is extremely well done 👍 and mine was shot and edited by a 5 year old!!!
Show it!!! :P
I just got the Wyze and honestly, it's not bad. It works. I like how it makes very small turns and cleans your rooms better as a result. But yeah, you're right, the app, while perfectly functional, just doesn't have the same features.
Although I do love the mapping run feature. I wish more companies would implement that. Watching a lidar robot do a mapping run is a thing of beauty.
@@MrRoombato LOL it coming, 360 taking their sweet time sending the S5. Ohhh 😮 hmmmm maybe my WYZE didn’t like me. I did throw the box so that might of been why the robot was acting up on me!!!
@@RobotMasters What problems did you have with the Wyze? All I did so far was map my house and do a few cleaning runs. Not much experience with it.
@@MrRoombato I think it was App stability. Over cellular I believe it was sometimes slow to respond. Also since it only has one map of the robot map got corrupted you couldn’t recall the previous good map. Also the robot was a little loud and felt it didn’t clean as well on tile.
@@RobotMasters Understood. I think it's slow over wifi too...the robot in the app lags substantially behind the real one. More so than others.
Thanks for the review! If you select a room to clean and choose the "x2" mode, will it clean in a cross-hatch pattern?
I'm actually not sure if it cleans in zigzag patterns, it's been too long since I had it clean something twice. Sorry.
You cannot select X2 on room cleaning mode. With the area clean box you can select X2 and it does cross hatch cleaning.
@@overkill1340 Thank you!
Does that seem to drive faster than other robots? It looks fast when it's done and leaving
No, I haven't noticed it being particularly fast. Are you sure it's not one of my sped up sequences that you're watching?
Do you know if this will work on a black rug? I have a large rug that has black in it and my Roomba 675 gets stuck on the black parts.
I'm sorry I missed this comment earlier, I'm not sure why that happened. As for your question, I'm fairly certain that the newer robots are no longer fooled by black colors, as the sensors have been updated.
How actually tall this thing? Can it fit in 10cm gap between hard floor and furniture, or it will stuck or even just bump the bottom of furniture with its lidar? I saw in one review what Roborock S7 barely fits 10.1 cm and it's height must be 9.6 cm with lidar.
I don't know what a centimeter is, but the top of the lidar dome is 3.75 freedom inches from the floor. :P
@@MrRoombato Thanks!
I may get this one day or the 360 s9 because I collect vacuums and I may get this one day and I may probably going to compare this to my roborock s4 and I want to get the neato d7 and probably compare that to this as well and will you be getting the iLife a10
I have the iLife A10. Right now it's not useable as its turns are way too wide and it misses some spots are hard floors and leaves half of your carpet uncleaned. They are supposed to be working on a firmware update to fix that, but I'm not going to review it until they do, since my review will basically say, "Great robot, awesome dustbin, complete garbage due to ridiculous wide turns." If they fix it, the review will be very, very different. That dust bin...that's a game changer.
@@MrRoombato what makes the dust bin a game changer
@@coltonsvacuumcollection It's "cyclonic," which is a fancy way of saying the air is directed in such a way that keeps the dirt in the bin and away from the air filter (like the sawdust filtration system for a shop vac). I am not sure how well this works yes, but it seems very promising so far. The reason it's a game changer is that vacuum filter cleaning is part of your routine maintenance and it's annoying and dirty. If this works like it's supposed, it would mean that you wouldn't have to clean the filter nearly as often. That's a huge difference in terms of a "hands off" experience.
Try the Shark IQ Robot since Adam doesn't want to review it. I want to see how you would like it.
I think he reviewed all of the Shark robots. Both the IQ (which he hates) and the AI. I may review the AI at some point, but I'm not paying money for VSLAM robots. :)
@@MrRoombato Please do the shark IQ..I need someone making a video agreeing with me lol
@@AdamsReviews I’m not spending money on that thing! Isn’t it enough that I totally believe you? :)
What robot would you recomend if I have a carpet across the way on the hardwood floor and there isn't any way to avoid it? Preferably with a mopping.
I guess the roborock S7, if mopping is important. It’s the only robot that will clean the carpet while the mop is attached.
@@MrRoombato unfortunately, what i got from your previous video, it scratches the wooden floor. Your video is very informative. Thanks a lot.
@@user-zj2oe1tf3g I said it *might* scratch the floor. From my experience with the i7, as long as you wash the rubber brush every time you do normal maintenance (clean filter, remove hair from brushes, etc.) it will be fine. The S9 was not fine, because it put a bunch of its weight onto the brush housing and jammed it into the floor. I do not believe the S7 does that. Plus, those little bumps on the brush look like they are designed to keep the flat of the brush from rubbing the floor too much.
I'd have to test it to be sure, but I don't think it will be a problem with that particular robot. The S9 is really the only "war criminal" with regards to floor scratching.
@@MrRoombato looking forward for the test to roborock S7 and samsung jetbot 90 ai+.
@@user-zj2oe1tf3g I'm going to skip the S7 and wait for the S7 MaxV. But the Jetbot...yeah, that one I'm gonna get. Very excited, as a matter of fact.
what would happen if kids touch the 2 terminals on the base station? would they get a shock?
I'm not going to try it, but judging by the voltage and amperage involved, it would be a very mild one and they would learn a valuable lesson.
@@MrRoombato can u use multi meter to check is terminals voltage and current?
@@akuma12356 Don't need to. LiPo batteries are charged using the constant current / constant voltage method, in which the charger limits the current to a specified level until the battery reaches a specified voltage. Then the current is reduced to maintain the battery's voltage until it's fully charged. This is why the last 10% of your LiPo battery takes almost as long to charge as the first 90%. The voltage used is only slightly above the voltage of the battery, and the amperage is limited to the capacity of the power supply. Both values are listed on the charging base. If you want me to go look at what the exact values are, you have to ask me nicely.
@@MrRoombato yea i just wanted to know how safe it is for kids. If a kid touches terminals will they get shock? Can the terminals be shorted with a conductor?
or does the terminals only activate when it detects the robot is docked? if thats the case then its pretty safe.
if not then the dock isn't safe for kids less than age 3.
@@akuma12356 Okay, just for you... :) I measured the voltage. It's 2.3V when the robot is not docked, and 18.5(ish)V when it is.
It is possible for your kid to touch the two terminals when the robot is there, but it would be hard. Touching it would lead to a slightly painful but not dangerous tingle and would teach the kid not to mess with the robot or its dock. 18 volts is not dangerous with the low amperage that the power supply is capable of. I wouldn't worry about it.
Touching it when it's 2.3V doesn't even cause a tingle.
New firmware on Roborock 6s vmax 01.58.02
Yep, just updated. Have you tried it out? Do I need to do another AI test? :)
@@MrRoombato i have not tried it yet make a new video ….👍👍👍💪
@@skat4035 I just made one about a roborock software update! So no! :)
Deleted my comment but I would to see a review of their S10 from you
Why deleted? There was nothing wrong with it. I was just about to reply! :)
I would love to do it, but I'm not monetized yet (so close!) and it's a little too pricey. At this point I only buy robots I'm interested in, and budget robots (I have a Wyze coming soon). And I'm no longer interested in robots without auto-empty docking stations. They seem like half a solution, to be honest. Especially at premium or even mid-range prices.
@@MrRoombato I thought having a robot that does most of the work is the most important thing ... You're saying without a station it's only half the solution, but time wise emptying is way less than 50 percent from one dust bin/cleaning cycle if you count the time.
@@heni63 Timewise yes, but it's a concept called "friction." Knowing you have to go do this one annoying thing every day paradoxically makes some people prefer hand vacuuming once a week (or however often they do it).
@@MrRoombato oh okay, i would never have thought that, but it makes sense, even though I hope the majority doesn't feel this friction.
So the less chance the dust bin gets full, the better.
No longer available. Only s8.
Isn't the S8 also like 200 dollars? Everything this company makes is good.
