Roborock - S6 MaxV

I’ve picked one of these up to replace an s6 max and while it does a lot of things well, the AI seems like a downgrade. Gets stuck on wires and seems to have worse obstacle detection which is very disappointing. Equally Amazon messed up the delivery and I ended up with two for the price of one so I can’t grumble too badly

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.

This is why I’m excited about the Eufy S1 Pro arriving at my door today. I don’t have any carpet, so having the best mopping robot that has amazing obstacle avoidance has been excited, coming from my Roborock S6 Max-V

Anecdotal but I have 2x roborock s6 MaxV about 4 years old now. They’re absolute great, never had any issues at all. I rate them to everyone and subsequently have started a domino effect of referring robo vacs haha. My only regret was buying a tad too soon before the self emptying feature was out, but I don’t mind, will be a later in life upgrade!

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.

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.

I've been using my roborock s6 maxv for 4 years. I saw another post recently where some people had more hours on theirs.

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.

We have had a Roborock S6 MaxV for 5yrs and it has been very good. Only issue is the maintenance, because if you schedule it, you easily forgot to empty it etc. That is why it would be nice to upgrade it to the latest model w/ containers and mob cleaning functionality, but the S8 MaxV is a lot of money. I'm currently working on a to-do list to dashboard that reminds different house equipment maintenances like coffee maker cleaning every 30th cup or HVAC filter change etc.

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. Granted, I don't have a husky, but with two Nordic double-coated barking terrorists who refuse to blow coat at the same time the house looks like a dog exploded for 3-4 months of the year, and from what I've read of huskies it seems like the problems aren't entirely dissimilar. Brushing with a slicker brush and undercoat rake, bathing (had good success with a Sav-Ur-Fur nozzle), more brushing, manual vacuuming, and lint rolling for those places you cannot quite reach with a vacuum and where you have to wonder how the hair got there in the first place. The biggest step is prevention, try to leave them with a dogsitter while the shedding is most intense so it becomes someone else's problem.

true, last deebot i had was a t8 aivi+, the app and the robot were a pos. shouldve bought an s5 max/s6 maxv instead 🤦‍♂️

I was also happy with my s6 MaxV. I upgraded because of an offer. Do you want mine?

Hey there, i have been using S6 MaxV for 4 years, great robot and still running till today. It does get stuck on small toys and cloths. i have ti clear everything on my floor including my doormat. You might want to look for newer models with better AI.

Hardwood only: Roborock (S6 or newer) Carpet: Roomba. (i7+ or newer)

The mops lift but chassis doesn't İ have a max (no adaptive lifting) and it does fine with high pile carpets

Not a single new Roborock until they fix their new brushing system, the cleaning quality have dropped alot since S6/7. Atm dream Ultra seems to be the best choice if you got the money.

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.

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

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)

I got the MaxV at Costco a few months ago and love it. Have all hardwood floors with 1 area rug and does a great job. This is with 1 cat and one drooling toddler.
