Roborock - S6 Pure

We got a Eufy C10 about 2 weeks ago. Previously had a Roborock S6 Pure. Almost all carpet home, very fluffy. I would have to empty the RR every 5 minutes or so otherwise it would start leaving fluff behind. Never used the mop. We've had it several years and it's a great vacuum, but I decided I really wanted a self empty vacuum only, no mop. I live in Aotearoa New Zealand and there was only one option - the Eufy C10 on clearance. So far it's great. Significantly quieter than the RR, just as effective at cleaning. It gives off a slightly drunk vibe as it doesnt have Lidar so it does lots of 360s to check its location, on the other hand it has a lower profile so can get right into the toekick in our kitchen. Because our carpet is so thick and fluffy (I'm pretty sure its wool) I think the self empty bag will be full within a month. If you can get it in your country I think it's worth it. Was $400NZD for us. And I have ordered a bunch of bags from Ali express.

I have 3 cats in a 1600 sq ft house. Just bought the $500 Roborock from Costco and am so far super happy. I was going to do the next one up, but figured I’d try this first. I had a roomba years ago and this is sooo much better. Life changing actually. Once it dies maybe I’ll get the step up, but so far super happy with this model. Costco also has a decent return policy if anything begins to malfunction.

I have a roborock. It's a bit older, S6 Pure but it does a better job with pet hair than I could with my swiffer.

S6 Pure 2021. Still kicking. Replaced filter and that is all. Looking at the 10r for the self emptying and mopping.

I bought my S6 gently used for $100 and it’s been a powerhouse for me for 2 years.

Roborock all the way, my man. They're great. I started my roborock journey with the s6. Upgraded to s7 max v ultra for about 1.5k eur and used it for about 1 year until something broke in the dock, so I spoke to Amazon and they gave me a return label for a full refund. Good timing, because the s8 max v ultra had just been released, so with that money I got me the s8 max v ultra. That was may 2024. This week, the s8 max v ultra had an issue, and guess what? Roborock offered me again full refund for the return of the robot, and I just bought again the same model, roborock s8 max v ultra. The kicker is, currently roborock has a huuuuuge promotion on their amazon.de page, and I bought the s8 maxv ultra for about 650. New! So, soon I'll be getting the refund of 1.5k eur from them. Anyway, my point is, I strongly recommend them, and the roborock s8 max v ultra. At this price, it is the best value you can find on the market.

I have a Roborock S6 bought in 2020 that is still working. I honestly think I prefer my old 2007 Dyson and it is superior at vacuuming but I do like the robot vacuum for regular cleaning.

My roborock s6 lasted 6 years before the battery gave up, worked fine with regular consumable replacements.

Its probably because its trying to map out the edge of the carpet, the s6 doesnt really need to do this because it cant lift up its mop either way. Maybe just let the s6 clean the carpets and let the Qrevo Slim do everything else.

Your mop options are severely limited under $200. I'd focus on just buying a vacuum and manually mopping. The mopping function is really only good on the newer vacuums which are still very expensive relative to your budget. I'd recommend Roborock (great integration and products). You'll get solid vacuum performance (look at used options, S5, S6) and the S6 can do a "drag" mop. The S7 vibrates a bit, but with animals I'd manually mop.
