After this review, I left with no more questions. You definitely are the best Vacuum Reviewer on CZcams... Always well done reviews. Congrats!!!
Thanks so much, I really appreciate it!
Yes he is the Top Dog when it comes to reviewing Vacuums, Thanks for all the hard work 😀
Super Faxx to the rescue
This vacuum is the worst robot vacuum I've owned.
@Vacuum Wars
6 dB is considered exactly twice ("Twice the sound pressure is an SPL of +6 dB"), so the company is correct about the noise level
That's what I thought bc 1 DB less is already a huge drop
I was on the fence about buying any kind of robot vacuum, so I thank you for this great and thorough review. Yes, I bought an S6 and was very impressed with the quality cleaning and the great features. I liked it so well, I bought another one for the second floor since, having a really bad back, I can't carry one unit up and down the stairs. It's a real game changer for me in keeping the house tidy. Many thanks again!
There are NO better reviews of this class of devices online. Well done sir, and thank you.
do you have one? these reviews are biased AF. this roborock can't even navigate a rug with patterns on it. This is a well documented flaw, all over redit and the roborock page, but this guy doesn't mention it. Roborock have known for 2 years that this is a problem, but asll they have done is tell people to put TAPE over the cliff sensors! $500+ vacs that have to be botched with painters tape if you have any patters on your flooring. How come these "great reviews" just leave out that huge issue? Because he's getting paid... this is a roborock commercial NOT a review.
I had a Genie ZX1000 as it too did mop, for about nine months in 2018. Got my S5 about mid Feb this year after watching your comrehensive comparison.
Thank you for your good work.
I went to an outlet store and I saw this on the shelf brand new sealed. They sold it to me for $170. Excited to try this one out!
I hope you are happy with it!
A great evolution to the already fantastic S5. I love my S5. S7 should be really interesting to see.
I'm addicted to this channel. Picks up hair and 110% dust/sand? I'm in.
Thanks for the review mate.Really usefull:)! Just bought the S6 and Iam really happy with that
Thank you so much for sharing. You're undoubtedly the best Vacuum Reviewer on CZcams. You explain all the stuff extraordinarily. Have wonderful days ahead.
Shockingly thorough review, well done.
I have to say that I really enjoy your videos! I don't know about others but I prefer the longer videos compared to the short ones. Just a personal preference. I always appreciate how much effort and care you put into your videos so keep up the good work!
Thank you very much!
I wish roborock had increased the volume of the dust bin. For me that is the only flaw of the S5 so with the bigger area vacuumed (with better batery life and navigation) the S6 could really use a larger dust bin.
Great review!
I've had this vacuum for a long time now and it recently broke because one of the charging contacts is no longer working but I want to point out a couple of things.
-The mopping function has a reservoir that isn't big enough and doesn't put out enough water and they also recommend against using a cleaning solution but it's better than nothing.
-The fact that it has no rotating brush on the other side means that there will be hairs (we have 2 border collies) in the wheels.
-The small wheel at the front also picks up a lot of hair and there will be hair stuck inside the gaps of that wheel which is almost impossible to get out.
-The opening that leads to the bin in the vacuum sometimes got clogged up with all the hair from the dogs which makes it so it does a sub par run for that particular day. (we run it every day)
-You essentially have to clean it every time you run it if you're in a similar situation as I am as hair gets stuck in the brush or the bin is going to be full.
-The big cylinder brush still gets a lot of hair stuck in it which I would like to see improved.
It's still a great robot vacuum but there are definitely things to be improved upon
Thank you, this helped me decide between the S5 and the newer S6. S6 it is!!!!!
Do you know if it picks up little stones or bolts?
Just ordered an s6 from amazon for $440, have been following the robot vacuum game for a long time and following your channel a long time and im extremely excited for my first robot after dreaming of owning one as a kid when the very first roomba came out and blew my mind. I was going to settle for an s4max as it checked all my boxes and i really dont desire the mop part (I have a house keeper to do the harder stuff) I just want my downstairs tile clean everyday when i wake up, but then the s4 max stopped being on sale for like 320 and the s6 could be had for 440 out the door so i couldnt say no to a flagship robot for $50 more, who knows, maybe ill even get use out of the mop feature.
Here's to my first robot, and many more years of great vacuum content! Cheers!
I hope you enjoy it!!
I have a S5 and since it's my first robot vacuum, I have to say that me and my family are pretty surprised by the performance of this robot. It cleans the whole house without a problem and rarely misses any dust. Another thing that is really amazing about this product is all the sensors that it has inside and outside. There was this one time when I put the filter in and it still hadnt dried and the robot told me to check if the filter is dried and also send me a notification saying that it will lower the power, because of that. I have to say that if there is any kind of problem with the vacuum, you'll get a notification and the vacuum will use its speakers to repeat the message. The only thing that is kinda strange about it is the mopping feature. There are only 2 holes for the water to go through and they are pretty small, so the mop doesn't stay as wet as it should be, at least in my opinion. You can easily fix this tho. I usually wet the mop's cloth a bit with water before putting it on and it pretty much solves the issue. Really amazing product and for sure will make your life a bit easier!
Great review as always! When I think about it, there's a good chance that the S6's improved processor also consumes less power than the S5's CPU, which could account for the improved max runtime estimate. With improved architecture usually comes a finer nanometer manufacturing process, meaning less heat and more efficiency per watt, resulting in less wasted electricity per CPU cycle. Keep up the good work!
This unit is very effective picking up dog hair🌼 The dust bin also is effectively designed and holds a lot requiring less frequent cleaning than our other version - a more expensive room mapping version.
I notice after a firmware update, my S5 also occasionally stops it's side brush from spinning when it hits an object. I think this may have carried down from the s6 code.
Great video, I been waiting for you to post a video on this for a month, but i couldn't wait any longer so I bought the Viomi V2, have a look at it
Great work dude!
From my experience, my S5 does get a lot of hair on the edges of the brush roll (not the brush itself) and surprisingly the small wheel at the front.
I just bought this based on the reviews you had and absolutely love it, I was on the fence between this and the i7 (because it empties itself) but after using the s6 today it was the best choice. Thanks for the reviews!
Exactly same for me. I love it
Love the content you do, keep it up! :D
retuned my neato D6, was not satisfied, just bumped into things, got error on every run " cannot find floorplan" so the software seems really poor and much bugs
so I bought the S5 and i have a dark carpet by the bed and it refuses to run over becaue of the fall sensors, does the S6 have the same sensors? or does it work with dark rugs and floor?
Again, really good content!
Always be good review from Vacuum Wars
.
As always, great review. But I have one question, can you tell me how make the freezes frame effects when you show the robot cleaning the whole room. I want to try something with a person but couldn't figure it out without freezing every frame by hand... Could you give me some hints
Your the man for this review!
Very good review. Thank you.
Lazy Vacuum Reviews.
Thanks for the detailed review. Mom got the S4 for prime day. Though I've seen the S6 being about the same price as the S5 now thanks to coupons or used ones.
great reveiw!
does it work with the mihome app in the China server? or just the singapore server?
can we use google home to command it? such as "clean kitchen" ?
Thanks for the review, No.1 review for me ( the reason why I bought S6) Thank you.
Please can I ask if the roborock S6 works every day a week for three times 9am10am. And 1 pm ( 40 minutes /area) three separate areas ... it is bad for the battery or it was meant for this ?
Thanks for you answer in advance.
Is the large underneath brush compatible with the s5 series? That would be great to make hair removal easier!
I had purchased this 2months back, I have to tell you it is the best available in the market. Extremely effective cleaning. Low noise and the cleaning pattern is astonishing and very superior AI tech is involved compared to other products in the market.
#awesome so glad to hear it.
Amazingly good review.
Full comparison between Roomba S9 and Robborock S6?
Recommendable.
Have had it for 14 days.
Maybe it just me, but it seems to be missing some kind of off-map mode.
Have high door steps so it cannot map the entire home.
You can also have several floors.
When you move it and put it in a room outside the map, the map is smashed and you need to restore it in map mangement after cleaning..
There is a need to manage areas it cannot reach from the dock itself.
Hi there!
When the roborock is done cleaning, returns to the dock and is fully charged, should I turn off the docking station and leave the roborock in sleeping state (and the battery gradually discharges) or do I leave to to continually be charging? Which approach is better in terms of prolonging the battery life and performance?
Thank you
By the way. Thanks for this thorough review. Nice job. Have you any new posts after this?
8:30 This is actually an intended feature. When the S6 was first released, the edge brush would stall on longer carpets which caused the unit to shut down since it thought there was a problem. Not too long after, a software update was released which caused the brush to stop spinning entirely on certain carpets (presumably when it detects as certain amount of resistance on the drive shaft). Yes, it would clean better with that brush spinning, but if it's a choice between the brush shutting down and the entire thing entering an error state, I'll take the auto-shutdown.
Love your reviews, really helped me make an informed decision, perhaps include info on storing multiple maps eg houses with two floors etc. also I’m Australia, the amazon handoff to amazon au is clunky and their price was not attractive, so I bought an S6 elsewhere, leaving me feeling a bit guilty and unappreciative of the effort you’ve made. HOWEVER, if there was a “donate” link on your CZcams page I’d be up for that. You may make nothing, you may be surprised... who can say...
i bought the S6 yesterday, and i'm watching it run for the second time.
is it normal that the wheels seem to have a bumpy sound at fixed intervals? a sound as if every second it's moving on top of a low obstacle. the unit seems to slightly go up and down at those bumpy sounds, is it a faulty wheel?
Can you save multiple floor plans for multi floor homes like the neato d7?
As soon as Roborock develop a self emptying dock the Roomba is in trouble!
They are in trouble already.Only vine reviews on amazon on new iRobot products.
zippodk yep ....I was just gonna say that
Brutus I agree once the self emptying bin arrives Roomba will be hurting. Maybe Roborock will design a Robot Vacuum that has the ability to go up and down stairs. That I believe is the next big Game Changer 😀
was already in trouble since the first xiaomi robot vacuum
??? Xiaomi is the highest rated robot vacuum right now. Roomba doesn't stand a chance.
Thank you so much for this long waited video!
I HAVE to ask you, why don't you put the robot super close to the ground and place a box around it? With the suction meter hole because they are not designed being floating 🤔
Wonder when they’ll release some sort of emptying base. Then they’ll be supreme!
Mastern Yeah Roborock owners would appreciate the option to have a self emptying bin 😀. For now I think Roborock is happy with its s6 upgrade, it is the smartest and most efficient navigating vacuum robot commercially available. To keep prices competitive they are sticking with a tried and true design and adding a self emptying bin would require a significant design change. Deebot R98 had this feature and wasn’t very successful so their new Ozmo 930 and soon to be released 960 doesn’t have the self empty bin feature.
Robot Masters Yeah very true. I did email them and they said ”We don’t have related info of the plan” so they are probably working on it :p
Mastern Thanks for the info, I think a lot robot vac companies are holding back to see how successful the Roomba does with the self emptying bin.
Love the software on this thing. Just wish they would remodel this to be like the Neato and new Roomba so it can have a much wider brush, square front to clean those corners, and larger dust bin.
Personally the room definitions, and cleaning the main brush from hair are the best additions.
Just bought one because of your review :-)
How is it?
The Roborock S6 has a new challenger (according to all the german Robovac experts on YT) called" 360 S7!"
It vas created to knock Roborock S6 from its throne (came out August 5th 2019) thus extremely interesting to see a comparison between them both!!!!
Hi which one is better clean on the corners ? Thank u
You do perfect reviews! When will the S5s go on sale?
Will the S5 get the same in-app features as far as rooms go? That was kind of neat.
Is there a way to differentiate mopping and vacuuming? such as, when attach the mop it'll know not to mop an area that I tell it not to? Thanks!
I placed an order and 1 hr later here is the review...😀👍🏼
Do you know if it picks up little stones or bolts?
Essentially the only difference that could not be given to the S5 is the room navigation, everything else could be sold as a upgrade or free
Would be nice to also get a review of the new mijia 1s vacuum cleaner
I'd love to see a hair test on carpet added as well!
Can you do best handheld corded vacs with powered brush rolls like the dirt devil scorpion?
Can you buy the newer S6 brush and use it on the S5? Thank you in advance!
So much appreciation to the dedication put in this video. Thank you.
Can you make a review for S6 Pure? I can't decide whether to get S6 Pure or S5 Max
Excellent video. (Rare thing these days.) Thank you for making this.
Thank you!
Hi, I just bought an S6, but the app is giving me some issues. I can't seem to find any official help guides. I found the "save map" function, but, even though the S6 cleaned the whole house (and did a good job) it only generated a map for the first room. Do I have to manually add rooms and run it again?. The screenshot you show at 1:39 is different to what I see. When it's cleaning, I dont see the map, just an icon. Any help would be much appreciated! Thanks
Does it support multi-floor cleaning? Every review has a different answer to this question but no one seems to have actually tested it.
Very informative review! I just have one question, how high thresholds can this robot climb? I have some thresholds in my home that are 25 mm high.
Can you use the s6 mop high flow / low flow on the s5?
I'll keep the S5 for now, was hoping for a larger debris bin.
Nope lol
Wait for S5 max
@@pompombuuum3182 s6 better
@@pompombuuum3182 it's the same lol
Please do Viomi v2 robot vacuum review. It works on Mi home app.
I'm going to get a new Vacuum this year but I will wait for the end of the year awards from this channel before I make my choice.
You should test all the different mode suction power, like Max mode 15cfm, Quite mode balance mode and Turbo mode how many cfm.
The S5 now has selective area cleaning as well. The main pros thing I see is the brush and the chip, but I think the brush matches. Can you please tell me if they are compatible?
Sorry this might a silly question, but does the S6 hover AND mop at the same time (when the mop attachment is on)?
I am hesitated, should I get this one, or the Neato d7? What do you think?
hi. Should i start cleaning (without the mopping function) then start cleaning again (with mopping function) or can directly clean my house with mopping function?
How does this vacuum work with HVAC floor grates? I have one in the middle of the hallway and I am afraid the cliff sensors may activate. Thoughts? Thank you!
Does this unit have the same issue with Main Brush Error 5 that the S5 had?
I am disabled. Use wheel chair and walker. Please how much is this? Looks amazing.
I just bought the roborock S6, and I got a question for you or any other user of the S6, do you feel a real difference of noise between normal mode and quiet mode ? Because actually I don’t, I wonder if mine got a technical problem thanks a lot
very helpful video...between this roborock S6 and ECOVAC Debbot N8, which one do you recommend?
It is better to buy Xiaomi Mi 1S Robot Vacuum Cleaner is better the 360 or S5 Robot Vacuum Cleaner ?
Can you review the Proscenic M7 and compare? It's advertising 2600pa and has a unique mopping mode.
Great review, as always :) I have two questions:
1. Can you send it to a certain room or area via Google Assistant/Alexa?
2. Does the new main brush fit older models?
yes to both
May i know the runtime of it on Turbo and Max mode?
Can you review the germguardian 4100?
Is the new brush compatible with the s5?????
Can you do a comparison of the Robo S6, Neato D7 and the Roomba S9+ as it seems those are the top 3 robot vacuums
I don't know about the D7 and S6, but I've tried the D6 and S5: the Neato was such a pain, and so loud, I would have kept the S5 if the S6 was not released just this week.
Grate video as usual!!! Do you know when the S6 will be available on Amazon?
it's on sale right now on amazon!
What about multilevel floor cleaning is this one can be switched from basement, first floor? Thanks for your review.
You can save three maps in the S6.
Good Guide line
Hi Sir. How does S6 works if you have different levels, for example between kitchen and living room? Does it work if I just lift it down/up and it continues to clean or do I need to change location on charger as well? KR Leif Norman, SWE
I was gonna get the S5, but now I want the S6. I need to save more 💰.
600 USD WOW!
I have the S5 and I'm immensely happy with it. It's one of the best investments a person can make. However, I bought mine for 360 USD. So paying almost double the price for minor updates is a big NO. I recommend people buy the S5 in stead. Few minutes of cleaning time saved is not a big deal considering you are paying almost half the price.
Where did you buy the S5 at $300?
I think she bought at Gear Best or maybe other chinese reseller. You can find it this cheap for real, the only worries are in the import fees.
Got my S6 for 450 USD from the official store on Amazon during Thanksgivings week.Very happy about it!
The S6 is 30% off today at Home Depot ($419)
Can I use the mopping attachement from S6 on S5 and be able to take adventage of two water aplication levels?
MrOzyreusz excellent question! I would like to know this as well?
are HEPA filters important in these robot vacuums? My husband is always arguing that vacuums create dust as they are working. Do you notice these vacuums creating dust?
I wonder between roborock s6 and eufy 11s, can anyone give me advice on efficiency?
Yay for 'no go' lines for use with the floor cleaner. Too bad the carpet performance was just OK.
So the key feature of the S6, dividing rooms is a complete software feature that the S5 could also have, it is not something that requires a more powerful processor.
How good is for shag high pile
carpet de roborock S6? I have a roomba E5, does it work better on shag high pile carpet the roborock S6 in camparison to Roomba s6? and how does they compare on suction power?
S6 vs Shark IQ. Which would you buy?
