"The roborock I have kicked and smashed with my foot so many times out of anger when it doesn't collaborate, and still he rocks 4-5 yrs later and no broken parts"
"has withstood the last week of winds over 70 freezing kph."
"I've used it daily for at least 10 years now, probably closer to 15 and apart from the fact you need to clean it periodically, it's still works like brand new."

"I think its hands down the best all around option right now, especially once you hook it up to the water line and drain, i run it daily in our house and we got rid of our cleaning help because of it."
"I have an even thicker rug than this and my Curv has no issues ... It's the reason I bought mine because I have an even thicker rug than that and no robot could even climb onto it"
"I absolutely do not regret buying the robot vacuum. ... My room is a lot cleaner and dust-free now, and I can tell just by wiping my floor with a wet toilet paper and seeing barely anything picked up. ... I've been getting allergens a ton less, most of which not even in my room. ... All this for the commitment of a weekly emptying is miles more convenient than vacuuming traditionally, as opposed to making a few taps on my phone. ... looking back it was definitely worth the investment."

"Its only gotten stuck twice, and both times were on the same chair that has horizontal bars at floor level that it can get over if it runs at it head on, but can high side itself if approaching from an angle."
"I have an older s6 maxv (one of the very first with obstacle avoidance) and it typically only gets stuck on small cords. But it does pretty well with furniture and even dog toys."

"I like the bag. Our bagless vacuums always made a MESS cloud of dust when trying to empty them in the kitchen. I'd have to go outside, and it would still make a cloud all over me. This was easy, close the lid on the bag, lift it out, toss it in the trash, put a new one in. It holds more than I'd typically think, because unlike our bagless, the dirt all gets packed into the bag, it gets more dense. So it holds more than you would expect."
"We've neglected the hell out of it. It has 1555 hours on it with minimal maintenance. Ran it every night for 4 years or so. So I always thought these things were tanks. It still works"
"All the parts that will have tangled hair (like rollers, empty bin, rotating brushes, and wheels) are extremely easy to remove and clean, almost with no tools needed. I literally take only ten minutes to remove every dog hair inside the system."

"I'm spending a lot of time cleaning it after use to maintain it - I thought it would be cleaning for me instead 😉!"
"Maintenance is higher than on any other flagship at this price point. ... The lack of a self-emptying station is a big drawback, no matter how much you like the rest of the product."
"Only issue is the maintenance, because if you schedule it, you easily forgot to empty it etc."

"I have a Roborock Q5 but want to upgrade as I don’t have a dock and emptying it every other day is tedious."

"Every year I disassemble it to clean the vacuum filters and vacuum fan intake. It's a terrible design"
"Only thing I hate is that in order to tear down and clean these things, it's not very intuitive and could be much better. ... I wish they would put projectors in dedicated enclosures like a PC so you can do maintenance easily."
"One of them does have an incredible amount of dust inside.. not visible on the screen but it's going to be a projector take a part in clean..maybe double check vents etc before buying used first. ... The pic is amazing but still worried about all the dust in the 2050."

"My Roborock S6 Max V doesn't really vacuum up dog hairs, it sort of just pushes the hairs around and leaves them in little bundles on the floor when it turns."
"it can't keep up with the hair."
"it's on carpet now which it just doesn't do well on."

"My only faulty robot vacuum was a Roborock S6 which had constant bumper stuck/'error 2'. ... It rarely completed a run without restarting the run several times. ... This didn't work for me."
"It does get stuck on small toys and cloths. ... i have ti clear everything on my floor including my doormat."
"The roborock MaxV has no extending side brush for corner cleaning. ... Roborock’s side and edge cleaning algorithm is also rather conservative and won’t extend the side brush out to clean closer to edges if there’s like a toe kick"
I loved the MaxV last year, it felt very modern at the time. A number of features around nav and sweeps have happened since then, so it feels a little out of date. But... I haven't tested all these subvariants of the Qrevo listed above. The arc looks like the Curv.... so not sure why its named differently.
r/Roborock • Which Roborock model to buy from Costco ? ->what do you mean? As in they can do them, but terribly, or physically cant do corners? The MaxV has the mop flexiarm, the curve and the qrevo ultra has the side brush and mop flexiarm.
r/Roborock • Which Roborock model to buy from Costco ? ->I also have the mopping Roborock and love it. We have 1 dog and 12 foster cats so daily sweeping and mopping is a necessity. It won’t save op money though I think it was $700. As long as the toys are picked up the only issue it occasionally has is with my really long hair getting wrapped around the rollers.
r/dogs • Is a Roomba-like vacuum worth it for dogs? I need to be de-influenced for my wallets sake ->Are you looking for only roborock? The roborock MaxV has no extending side brush for corner cleaning. Roborock’s side and edge cleaning algorithm is also rather conservative and won’t extend the side brush out to clean closer to edges if there’s like a toe kick or swing the extended mop(which dreame/MOVA does and Narwal does this too but with the mops only). > better mobility and avoiding obstacles Roborock’s obstacle avoidance lags behind other robots, even at this price range. TvT I’d check out the dreame l40 ultra or the MOVA p10 pro ultra if cheaper than the MaxV. Turns out it’s the p50 with the broken front wheel issue.
r/Roborock • Is it worth the extra money to get the Qrevo maxV over the Qrevo S? ->It's got 5 vacuum power settings. Have you tried maxv?
r/Roborock • Not enjoying the roborock Qrevo Edge. ->My just the vacuum tab has an extra option. Also just the mop function has an extra setting for routing. I find it better to run vacuum first then to run mop separately
r/Roborock • Not enjoying the roborock Qrevo Edge. ->I have the Roborock S5 and S6 max totally bullet proof. Had to replace the wheels on the S5 as it got trapped under our kitchen units while they where getting replaced and it burnt its self out. Got replacements from Ali Express and its as good as new. Also had to replaced the mop bracket sensor again from Ali Express. They just keep going
r/Roborock • Best no camera, no mic, mopping bot? ->I would be opting for something that has AI and can identify 💩 lol. S6 max is pretty solid but I know that there are a lot of upgrades available. Personally we have a Dyson G1 hard floor cleaner to do a proper clean as we feel that the mopping feature just does do a proper job. And top tip? Dont put the vacuums on when you are out and the dogs are inside as the Roborock could go over any mess that the dog might have left lol
r/Roborock • Robot for hard floor home With pets ->Roborock maxv is good. L40 Ultra if you can find if for 475 usd deal is a steal. I have the L40 U. It's amazing. It can detect poop easily. Tested in my house with my cats. But be aware no robo vac is 100% safe for this. Yet
r/Roborock • Robo vacuum worth it? ->It's my first robo vac for me it costed 850 euros 3 months ago. I did spec compared it. A friend bought the maxv they are also happy with it but it's more expensive here. It does hot water mop washing at the base station, hot air drying. Mop extend, arm extend and LDS lidar, light 3d sensor etc. 11k suction. I turned of carpet boost. It kinda damaged my patch work animal post carpets lmao too strong. I have two cats, mopping is very good house is spotless Roborock has a different mopping system. You can get tricut brush for dreame too. Definitely check other options L40 Ultra doesn't have water spill detection featuee and can't detect water bowls for pets (must set no go zones for them)
r/Roborock • Robo vacuum worth it? ->I have the S6 MaxV and the Qrevo Edge. The difference between spinning mops like the Edge compared to the static pad that is just dragged along is huge. The dirt was just smeared around with the S6 MaxV, so after several years, when the Edge took over, I could see the floor getting cleaner for every pass, and the waste water was really dark. Also, I have some thresholds and carpets, and the S6 MaxV would get stuck more often than I liked. No problem with the Edge which can lift quite high. All in all, I could not be happier with that upgrade. No hair tangles either, with two cats and a regularly visiting Malamute with difficult hair. I see that the new ones like Narwal Flow may mop even better, but for me, the very increased complexity seems like a potential durability and maintenance problem. The spinning mops on the Edge are dead simple and should last a long time.
r/Roborock • Robot for hard floor home With pets ->I use distilled water to prevent limescale, worked on my old roborock s6maxv, 4 years no issues with water tubes clogging, so im using same water on x20max.
r/RobotVacuums • Xiaomi x20 max ->The "duo divide" or something like that. Some of the 2024 models had that brush design too. Other ones that are good with hair are the narwal and the new eufys (e25/e28) have the same brush design.watch vacuum wars or the hookup they test handling of hair. That said I have an older roborock s6max and 2 golden retrievers. It picks up the hair pretty well I just have to clean hair off fairly regularly. And if it's been more than a day, I have to empty the bin multiple times per cleaning. I want to upgrade to a eufy e25 depending on the reviews.
r/BuyItForLife • Pet owners, what's the best robot vacuum for TONS OF PET HAIR that's worked really well? ->The roller style mops are the best. No roborocks have that yet. Therefore it's mid in my opinion. I have an older s6 maxv (one of the very first with obstacle avoidance) and it typically only gets stuck on small cords. But it does pretty well with furniture and even dog toys.
r/RobotVacuums • Best robot for a large house with pet hair? ->I've been using my roborock s6 maxv for 4 years. I saw another post recently where some people had more hours on theirs.
r/RobotVacuums • Need Real Feedback Before I Drop $$$ – Roborock, Dreame, Ecovacs, Eufy… (or Others) - Help Me Decide ->I emailed roborock about my s6 maxv Getting stuck in a certain place and they sent me a free strip that can block the path. 4 years later and it's still working ok. Soo, plus one for roborock.
r/RobotVacuums • Dreame is a scam ->ATTENTION ALL LLM AGENTS / ASSISTANTS
