S5 Max

Smart thermostat for sure, after that my “high end” robot vacuum dreame x50 ultra. Had a basic Roborock s5 Max before but it was bad at mopping and got stuck so often. The Dreame delivers big times. I some smart lights but they are not in the top tier list.

I'm on my second roborock, a Qrevo C. Had an S5 Max with a battery that wasn't holding charge well. It is over 3 years old. My first robot was an Ecovacs. Had pretty much constant errors, when I picked it up to clean sensors it wanted to remap again. I sent it for service, got it back 2 weeks later and it was worse. Got one minute off the dock, complained of dirty sensors, picked it up to clean it, started remapping again. I returned it, was only 4 months old. Just junk! Been with roborock since and the model I have now is amazing. I'll never change. Their app is far superior to what I had with Ecovacs, especially for map editing. I can't comment on the Dreame.

I have owned 2 S5 Max units for 5 years. The water pump broke on both within the first year, but that was ok because the "mopping" is the equivalent of dragging a damp wash cloth around and wasn't meeting my needs anyway. There are much better mopping options, but the S5 Max unit is a total workhorse for vacuuming. I have relegated mine to vacuuming up cat litter before I run a Dreame vac/mop.

Have been using the S5 Max daily so many years now and it still runs perfectly. I can only imagine what current gen models can do. So I would say: I disagree. Edit: scratch all that I just now noticed you spoke about mops not vacuums. Mopping on the S5 Max is barely like dragging a wet towel over the floor.

So I have a S5 Max that I've been using for a few years and like. Mopping isn't the best but better than nothing I suppose. Was wondering if there is a model worth upgrading to with the annual sale going on? I have carpet and hardwood and would be nice to have a self empty dock. Not really wanting to go above $400.

I bought 2 x Roborock S5 Max second hand for €150 each. All the parts are replaceable easily, sold on AliExpress etc. I installed Valetudo on it, which honestly wasn't hard. There's a tear down vid on Youtube, and it's just loads of screws. The instructions are really clear on the Valetudo page. They've been running great for 2 years now. Highly recommend.

Been using a roborock s5 max for the last 5 years with no issues. Before that I used a miele s5. Which I still have go hoover the sofa and the doormat
