S6 MaxV

I own three units: s6MaxV, QRevoPlus, QRevo S5A. The S6MaxV goes on vacation with us, cleaning AirBnB’s that we rent. Yes, maintenance is necessary, but easy to perform.

From my experience, Roborock and eufy both have pretty good return policies and customer service (even when purchased through Amazon). My original robot vacuum was a Roborock S6 MaxV, Amazon renewed. I actually still have it, it works PHENOMENALLY, I just wanted to get something that had a self emptying dock, so I got a eufy omni C20 on sale. My eufy omni C20 was being awful after about a year of owning it and I left a review on Amazon detailing all my issues. Their customer service reached out through Amazon messages and after lots of troubleshooting offered me a full refund for returning it, which I took. I may give eufy another try in the future because the unit did work well, but as I had a baby on the way, I wanted something that was just going to work, so I got a Roborock Q7 M5+. After owning \*that\* for about 5 months, it started giving me all sorts of problems and again after trying a lot of troubleshooting I just received the replacement unit from sending in the one that wasn't working. I almost wish they had offered a refund instead so I could try a different unit :/

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.

Hi all, We’re currently looking to upgrade our robot vacuum and would really appreciate input from people with real-world experience in similar conditions. We’re a family with two small kids (3 years and 6 months), so our floors are never clear — there are always toys, random objects, crumbs, food spills, etc. On top of that, we have a golden retriever that sheds a lot, so hair management is a big issue. Our current robot (an older Roborock S6MaxV model) just isn’t cutting it anymore: \- It struggles with suction (especially sand/dirt brought in from outside) \- Hair gets tangled constantly in the brush, requiring manual cleaning after almost every run \- The mopping function is basically useless, so we never use it \- It doesn’t handle clutter well and gets stuck or avoids too much So for the next one, our priorities are: \- Excellent obstacle avoidance (must handle toys and clutter without constant babysitting) \- Very good performance with pet hair (minimal tangling / maintenance) \- Actually useful mopping (able to deal with food spills, dirt, etc.) \- Low maintenance overall (self-cleaning dock, minimal manual work) We’ve narrowed it down to: \- New flagship models from Dreame Technology (X40 / X50 / X60 series) \- The newer Roborock SAROS models (like Saros 10R) We also have two door thresholds (\~3.5 cm and \~4.5 cm), but that’s a “nice to have” — not a dealbreaker. 👉 Questions: \- How well do these actually handle real-life clutter (toys, cables, random stuff)? \- How bad is hair tangling in practice (especially with long dog hair)? \- Is the mopping function genuinely useful, or still more of a gimmick? \- How much manual maintenance do you realistically end up doing? \- Any regrets or things you wish you knew before buying? Would love to hear from people with similar setups (kids + pets + messy floors). Thanks a lot!

I have been using the Roborock S6 MaxV for several years now. At the time I bought it, it was their best model. It is still working great now. I dont use the mop function though.
