this video should be mandatory watching for new owners like me, the owners manual is pretty useless
I don't even have this vacuum, but its fun to watch this channel for sure!
I find the "GO" feature very useful since our vacuums dock is located under a couch so it would be a pain to remove the dustbin and brush for emptying/cleaning.
Thank you so much of making this video as it does really helpful for my first time trying to set it up this robot and learn all those functions. This video really make my life much more easy thank you thank you :)
Thank you for this detailed review! It helped me decide to purchase this model
I use the go feature to tell the roborock to go to the sink where I will take the mob, fill it up and reattach it.
Also if I want to draw precise no-go lines, I will send it to a certain spot to make sure I get the points set precisely.
Smart thanks for the tip!!! Hard to determine exactly the no go spot on the map is.
I tried that too today after getting mine, and I still can't get the no go spots exactly where I want them. It's hard to tell exactly where it is on the map, and I can't put it there if the robot is on the spot.
Just recived mine and im very happy with it :) only complain i have is the lack of being able to rotate/mirror the map on the app for more thoughtless zone cleaning, however, i found that erasing the old map, taking it out of the charger, and putting it at the north wall (you need to place the vacum rotated 180 so the sensors face north, close to the west wall worked for me to get the layout how i wanted it :)
Very good explanations, perfect presentation.
I've been looking at this vacuum for the last 9 months. I finally pulled the trigger and bought one. Sooooo excited! 🤩
Me too!
I miss the $100 off deal on the S4 so I just bought the s5 as well. I bought the s5 before and it keep getting stuck on carpet, constantly getting error so I have to return it. Make sure to test the hell out of your s5, common error is main brush getting stuck, and it sometime unable to find the dock.
@@nanowar1192 thank you so much. I will keep an eye out for that.
Are you happy with this purchase? I'm thinking about buying used one... hm.
This is amazing. Thank you so much for sharing this!
great piece of tech! after using mine for 3 weeks (almost daily) i can say it's really important: 1) to empty the dust bin after each use. it will prevent the main brush accumulate too much dirt. 2) i never had to use higher setting than "balanced" - it's so noice-performence efficient!! 3) use the attached brush (it's inside right near the dust bin) - very usuful!
Do you have problems with hair getting tangled in the brush roll?
Thanks for making this video!
Thank you great review! ✌️☺️
it has a little brush tool inside, that helps you for the maintenance
Thank you for the video, is very clear, I wonder if you have a tutorial on how to use it on a second floor, an also, the robot recognized the patio through the sliding door, and I want to know how to erase it from the map.
A very good review. Very helpful for first time users
The Go button it is useful for me because I keep the roborock docking station under furniture and I use it when I want to empty the dust been
Great idea never thought of that.
Damn, I've been crawling under my desk for no reason 🤣
You can also use the remote control to guide it to the trash can.
Yes, that’s handy. I have a Deebot that doesn’t have this feature, and its charge base is kept way underneath a queen bed, so impossible to get to. It doesn’t have a “Go” button, so I have to start a clean to get it out of its home under the bed, then pause the clean, empty the bin, and send it back to the charger base; each time I clean the bin.
This is my first robot vacuum cleaner, so nothing to compare it with🌼 I read a lot about different models before buying it, and so far, I'm extremely happy with my Roborock. I wish they had an option to save zones in the app, but this is my only complain. Easy to control, easy to clean, and does a great job. I used to vacuum every single day, sometimes twice a day. Now I get my big vacuum out once every 2 weeks to go over hard to reach areas.
Really useful! Thank you!
Thank you! Good video.
Helpful. Thank you.
Thank you! Very usefull vídeo!
Excellent video. Should be part of the product support since there really isn't any instructions for the app use. How do I set up no-go areas for mopping which do not apply to vacuuming?
Great video bud
Thanks for sharing! I'm a new owner of a S5 Max and helped a lot!!! 👍🎉🎉🎉
Great to hear!
Thank you for the video. Just got ours and I'll run the initial circuit tonight. A couple of questions. 1) If I have chairs that can be flipped up onto the kitchen table, would it be better to do this and have fewer things to get stuck on? 2) I have a few thick, round (about 36" diameter) area rugs on a hardwood floor they are almost an inch thick - will the Roborock avoid them (acceptable) or try to vacuum (preferred) them or, like the chairs would it be best to clear them from the kitchen/dinette area? 3) We bought it primarily for the hardwood areas but can the Roborock handle relatively thick shag (approx 1/2-5/8" deep)? Thank you for any assistance you can throw my way.
Nice work very helpfull
I'm new to the concept of robovacs. How would one (particularly this one) compare to my DC23 Dyson noting we have a carpet in our home? Thanks.
Fantastic
Thank you for the video. I’m having some problems with my vacuum after having it only for 5 months. It won’t move and it said error 1, toggle the laser head and make sure nothing is blocking it. I have cleaned and check it but it still won’t move. Please help. Thank you.
Great video - I have an E25, but this was really helpful, particularly the cleaning information, as well as helping me understand mapping a little better. Disappointed to see that in other comments, I learn that I can't use barriers with the E25. :( Thanks for your help!
Im interested in the E25. How do you fond it? Does it get stuck a lot?
No, I've had it about a week.. really working it out. It's gotten stuck twice, but both times were when I was picking it up and moving it for other reasons. If I start it and let it do its thing, it's never gotten stuck.
I just got one of these and its by far the best purchase ive made in a long time. the docking station setup though does not need that much space though, Ive got mine in a fairly compact space for docking and it found its way in and out of it fine so dont get to worried about the recommended distance to objects with the charging station. Also ill add one of the problems i had on setup was connecting the robot to the network, turns out if you enter you wifi pass wrong it will not tell you its been entered wrong instead you will just get a message "failed to join netwrok" and wont tell you why, problem was i was entering my wifi pass wrong by one letter and it just kept saying "failed to join network", so make sure your wifi password is entered correctly.
Brutus Good point have experienced that before where I accidentally input the wrong password and it wouldn’t tell me the reason why the robot couldn’t join the network. Also yes the recommended distance around the charger an FYI, I have three right next to each other and they dock fine, and also smart enough to recognize which charger theirs and not try to dock on the other robot’s charger.
Hello great video I was just wondering how hard the spacing recommendation at 0.5 meter left and right + 1.5 meters out from the docking station can be less and if so how much less. trying to figure out where to put it.
Also if i have a room with a too high threshold for it to climb will it ignore that room when doing the first time mapping or will it get stuck there?
have you done a video on how to connect the S5 with Alexa voice commands?
I wish there was a way to use the saved vacuum history maps for scheduling, vacuuming the same area at set times and intervals. I have been happily using this robot for a year now but I have not found a way to schedule zone cleaning.
Can you remove the brush roll and use it if you are using only to clean hard floors? Will there be performance issues or will it damage something in the Roborock?
Hi,
I use the robot for 2 weeks, I saved all the rooms, but each time even if I select the room, the application displays the map of the last room cleaned. How should I proceed to save and select the camera map? Thank you.
Hi. Tks for the video. But how do I begin setting the first map?
This is a wonderful robot. Something to keep in mind, If you move the vacuum from let's say upstairs to the downstairs rooms. You will need to go to the beta map and reset. If you dont, the robot will remember the upstairs room and try to superimpose the upstairs map to the downstairs room, this causes the vac to bump into the walls and look for the chargers old location from upstairs. When you bring the vacuum back upstairs you will need to reset the beta map again, and the vac will start a new map again of upstairs the next time it is ran. My question is ...Can the vacuum remember both rooms? And if so, how do I save it?
Hi nice tutorial. Any tips om how to clean a second floor. Should I move charger and cleaner and define another home (or maybe just set another room? when it comes to rooms I do not quite understand how to use this function. Do you?
If you want to vacuum multiple floors you probably want the S6 because it has room selection... The S5 does not. Multifloor support is supposed to be coming to the new Roborock app later this year.
I'm looking for a thicker/puffier mop that's compatible with Roborock S5 so it can collect more dust do a bit better job mopping. Any recommendation?
I started using this vacuum when I moved into my new house. During the mapping there were boxes and totes in the rooms (That have now moved) and when it automatically “color coded” the rooms there are grey areas that the vacuum will avoid even though there are no obstructions. Is there a way to smooth out the rooms or do I have to re-map the entire house? If anyone knows I’d appreciate it.
Going to buy the S5. Question is I'm going to buy 2 of them. Will they both work on the app at once?
I just got this, works great but I have 5 G Wi-Fi and it won't stay connected. Not sure if there's a setting I can change to keep it connected,?
Does anyone know if it the power cable has to be connected through the wall ? or can i connect it through socket extension
How do you mark a no go zone specifically for mopping? I heard you can mark carpet zones, but I only see "no-go" zones. Do does that mean that it wont vacuum there either?
Carpet mode supposedly can detect a carpet automatically so why cant moppoing?
How do you clean the mop pad? Machine? hand-wash?
So I’ve been using the mop with both the cloth pads and the disposable pads and draws lines as it cleans. It’s missing portions of the floors. This hasn’t been reviewed much on any review website. They’re mailed me today’s be said the cloth do better but I’m getting the same results. Any suggestions? I actually have a s5 max
What if you house is not all connected. How do you the move it from room to room (by hand I know, but...) and get it to understand where it is and get the "rules/restrictions" for every room?
Sometimes the app erases my map even when I have the Save map selected, so I use the GO there tab to rescan the floor plan without having to just hit CLEAN and having it do it by cleaning the entire house. Which takes a while
Rudy Arenas Yeah I have the same issue with my Roborock s5 even though I have the save map mode enabled. You can also go into Remote Control Mode drive it around different parts of your house and the Robot will create a mad as you drive it along. This method a lot quicker than the go to method. Takes about 5 minutes to map my entire house.
As far as I know, if you take the robot to clean from another point of the docking station it erasers the previous map and has to check it again. This is for example if you lift and take the robot to another room to clean
Hi, I have S5 and got error4 (cliff sensors). Sensors cleaned allready, reset system, restore factory settings, app delleted and istalled again. Nothing hellps, still error4. Where is a problem?
Please, I would like a help with Roborock 5s. I did the complete cleaning, I pressed Reset, but the device is still disoriented .. walking in a circle and almost without leaving the place. I would know what might be happening. No beating or liquid anything with it happened. Thank you!
Hello, I have this robot and I wonder if it’s continuing using electricity when it’s fully charged and connected to the charging dock. I have tried to turn it off but it won’t go off unless you unplug it from the dock. So do you know if it’s worth to turn it off or I can just leave it on on the charging dock? (Energy saving concern)
I got mine today after the big sale on Amazon a couple days ago. It's bigger than I expected, which is a problem. It has a hard time getting under and out of the chairs. Are all roombas the same size? Are there ones that are smaller, even just a little bit? If there was a good one that is just a few inches less in width, it would be able to get under and out under the chairs much easier.
My question is, can I just throw the mop heads in the washer or should i hand wash them? Thanks for the video!
I wash mine in the washer
Nice video. Please next Time have your cap the other way around. From above the cap was on the way. It's a small details because your video are excellent !
Please review the 360 s5
Can you have the roborock clean the floor with zig zag movement in a specific direction ? Example to mop in the direction of the wood grain on the floor .
Would like to know also
Can you also review Ecovacs Deebot Ozmo 930 ? And compare it with the roborock s5 and the neato d7, because it also has laser based navigation. Thank you
And the one from narwal robotics

Video watched 6/14/23 rs5 was programed by my son. Now it cleans per schedule but I can't stop it and send it back to the dock if I want to, can't get in to the app now without it telling me to register. Should I try and start over or is there a way to do it without that step??
Iv had this Vacuum for a few days and it leaves major streaks on my wood floors. Also over cleans areas while leaving other areas with no obstacles dirty. How do you change the military time settings to standard?
Is it possible to keep 2 maps and name them? One for vacuuming and one for mopping? I wanted to save a map with no goes over my rugs and block out my rooms with carpet but I'm not sure how that works...do I have to set it up each time?
Thanks for your videos.
Does the vacuum have to be connected to the same WiFi network as your phone? Or may the phone app communicate over the internet to the vacuum connected to another (guest) WiFi network? I noticed in your video it showed a message about bringing the phone closer to the device, is it using Bluetooth? Or a virtual wifi network for setup (like Ring devices)?
Is it possible to schedule charging times, to benefit those that have off-peak electricity tariffs?
The app can communicate over the internet!
Does s5 have spring mechanism on mop to apply constant pressure? Bec s5 max has this option. So does this function come with s5 as well?
Great video no BS
Can you do a complete guide for neato d7
Ikea desk? I think we have the exact same one haha
What about charging? Should i let it all day in tje dock station to charge?
Thank you for sharing this video. Can you show us how to save a map for each floor?
I have the same quastion :) Is it possible to save different maps and use the same robot in different floors? I hope someone can answer this :)
on the new S6 you can associate rooms and save up to 3 maps for like home with 2 floors for example - sadly the S5 does not offer this option
@@domoreofwhatyoulove1752 on the new S6 you can associate rooms and save up to 3 maps for like home with 2 floors for example - sadly the S5 does not offer this option
Hi is it worth to buy it ,? Is it cleaning good ?
Question How is it possible to clear the present firmware witch be updated because it is does not work anymore cause it work without any turn back to the dock only the battery is empty and ones it is fully charged it turn back work to continue the endless work.
I am crazy cause this trouble.
I am so pleased if you have a solution for turning back to the first firmware...
Do you reside in the United States? I just purchased this vacuum and it will not connect to the WiFi. I’m using an iPhone and the Mi Home app doesn’t give me the option to search for a device. Did you select the US as your region when you set up the app? Some reviews have said to select China, but that hasn’t worked for me.
I'm a bit confused about the mopping function. Do I have to do a normal sweep before putting on the mop each time or is it able to sweep and mop simultaneously and effectively?
PC k have it vacuum first and then attach the mop.
What is the best way to clean multiple floors with S5? Can you map multiple floors and draw no-go lines?
on the new S6 you can associate rooms and save up to 3 maps for like home with 2 floors for example - sadly the S5 does not offer this option
Can it go over dark carpet? I have to put paper and glossy tape over my roomba 690s cliff sensors and I hate it lol. I just bought the s6
Alex Rothbard how did it go? Mine gets stuck on the black stripes of our rug 😞
I have 2 floors. Can I spot clean downstairs while I have upstairs map saved for just vacuuming? Also, my downstairs living room is a combination of carpet and tile. Can I spot clean/mop just the tile without vacuuming the rest of the room?
I need an answer on this as well! Great question.
Hi ive just got mine and its saying its connected but the datas not transferring over so I cant use the app
i got one of these 3 days ago, absolutely love it compared to my old stupid roomba. So glad i found your channel and want to thank you for the great effort you put into the testing videos :D
Did you find it sucks up dust and debris really good? I'm thinking of buying it because of it's price and performance.
@@matdemaz I am super lazy and love putting it on while i go out shopping, you do have to go around and and pick up clothes and stuff that might get caught in it but its great for not having to do anything except empty the dust bin and clean roller every now and then.
I find the Roborock s5 does really well picking up dust and debris. Also the battery life is phenomenal. The robot picks up so well that on my carpet I have to empty it’s bin mid clean cycle because it’s full. I would recommend the Roborock s6 👍🏻
@@RobotMasters No issues with error 5 on carpet?
Richard Smith I get that too, I guess that high profile carpet causes too much strain on the extractor🤔
Recently ordered one of these, it’s on its way, with the charging dock, I have about 0.5M each side of where I’m planning to put the dock, but haven’t got 1.5M in front, probably have about 0.8M, realistically, how important is this, and would it still dock, there’s a table near where it’ll be going, and there’s defiantly room for the robot, it just needs to go at an angle past them
Hi, it doesn't matter I have all three sizes less than 0.5 and 1.5M.
What if you have 2 of them, will the software show both vaccum's ? mine still won't connect, but would like to know what problems to expect if they do.
You can add as many devices as you want. There are hundreds of devices you can add to the app. Just make sure you add them all individually, you can't control more than 1 robot at a time, you gotta choose which device you are working with in the app and treat each one separately.
It dosen't have room mode? To split the map by rooms?
vacum war... which one better.. mi home apps or roborock apps? help me please..
Is there a way to add multiple floor maps? Can I do this by creating a new hone? Thank you!
Not yet but I heard this feature will be here soon.
When I mop, do I simply put the Cartridge in as you showed and press clean and it will automatically know to mop this because I input the cartridge ? Or is there a separate mop function I should be using
Select the Gentle option in the app setting for mop. The cartridge got two small nozzles allow the water to dispense out by itself slow n steady once you fill in water, simple design but it works. The water in the container last around 40mins+
Please do p50 shark vs the Dyson v10
Love this channel. Very informative .
Since your an vacuum expert. Do you recommend me getting sharks HV390? It’s corded.
I currently have the S6. Did an awesome job when building the map. however I had one room that was closed because we had Christmas presents in it. Now I open the room and I selected the area via Zone to clean. It cleaned the room updated the map, but I am unable to edit it as a room. Any thoughts?
it only stores max of 3 maps
hi! I just got this roborock and I can’t seem to get started any cleaning, keep receiving error 4 to clean up the sensors. can you figure out what I’ve might done wrong, please?
Just clean them lol
@@CCCC-tq8yo, the product was new... and even so, I cleaned them. good one anyway! :)
Hello. My cleaner is living its own life. It telling me often that the dustbin is removed and a minute later the dustbin is installed. This is happening very often, my be its something with the sensor. Anyone know how to repair this matter. Its irritating to hear the cleaner all the time.
Can you connect one robot to multiple mobile devices?
I am having trouble connecting my phone to Roborock S5. I have an Android phone. Will that work?.. It comes up and says connected, no internet. I try to find my device and it can't do it. What can I do to correct this and get my phone connected. I downloaded the MiHome App.
I noticed on my S5 that the power light is always on when docked, unless the DND feature is on, then it's dimmed a lot. Is this the same for everyone?
If it dose not charge all the time the battery runs out lol
Thanks for the video.
I would need some advice. I used the robot to clean, then it went back to the dock. All fine. However it forgot the map, even though the Map Saved Mode is active. It never remembers the map. Each time I start it, the robot needs to reconstruct the map and hits everything while doing so. I have a small apartment. Can you please help?
Does the robot go out from the dock station to clean itself? I just read that if you lift it and take it to any spot to clean, it forgets the map...
I have just purchased one of these Roborock S50 Gen 2 vacuum robots and love using it indeed. One question I have is with pre programed zones.
Is there a feature for me to set up multiple zones around the house and have the vacuum go clean zones as pre defined?
One use for this is with the mopping feature. My home is a mixture of wood/tile and carpet. I perform a full house vacuum and after that want to perform a mop only on the wood and tiles. I seem to have to add the areas in of the house that are wood/tile every time for this to occur.
Is there any easier way for this to happen?
Additionally I would like to tell the robot to vacuum the kitchen or vacuum the lounge room. How do I perform this with saved pre defined zones?
And lastly, how do I integrate this with my Google Home?
Any feedback would be greatly appreciated. Thanks so much in advance.
funny i was just thinking about this and talking to some guys in the home assistant discord and they said yes! allthought idk if through native app or HA
The mop requires the bot to be in the room that requires the mopping. You cannot ask it to mop a room that is across carpet. This is because the mop is attached to the bot and it cannot vacuum while mopping. So you have to change it from vacuum to mop and then add the mop on. You cannot automate mopping, you need to be there to put the mop on and take it off before it goes across carpet.
The features you are asking for is in the Roborock s6 where you can save predetermined zones aka areas. The s5 you have to set up the areas each time you start the vacuum.
@@RobotMasters but that's just an app feature, right? In theory they could enable it for the S5...
Thumb up !
Does it has only mop feature?
How can i cancel the no mop zone? i have selected no mop area but i want to cancel it. I can not find how to cancel this no mop area.
Can you schedule a zone clean? I have this white floor just in the entrance of my house that I want cleaned every day, and the rest of my house cleaned twice a week.
Juan Bustamante nope, only the just released roborock s6 can do this. But maybe with update they could add it as they did with first gen that gained some of the s5 features later.
Whats the difference of that Timer button and Automation button from main menu? I did my schedule in "Automation".
Automation isn't really for the robot vacuums - those are features to automate your home. The robot vacuum works better with the timer functions, but you can make more complicated if and then statements such as turning your lights on when the vacuum is running and turning them off when it finishes. Obviously you don't need to do that, but maybe people do it to make it seem like they are home when they are not. You would need more of their smart devices to really use it. It's for automating your home.
Is it possible to 'name' rooms? I want to command using Echo Dot - "Clean the kitchen". Can I do this?
pumpkineater23 name rooms I haven't tried yet. But definitely you can choose to command it to clean a specific from only. (After it has being used couple times to map the whole house.)
on the new S6 you can associate rooms and save up to 3 maps for like home with 2 floors for example - sadly the S5 does not offer this option
@@waynegarrett1614 It does now right?
