Roborock S5 Max Robot Vacuum Cleaner

Roborock builds good vacuum cleaner robots. This has also been shown with the S6 and its predecessor. The new mode namely Roborock S5 Max Robot Vacuum Cleaner is no exception. The “Max” simply stands for the fact that the water tank of the vacuum cleaner is now much larger. Also, it still can wipe. Not only it is twice as big as its predecessor but it can also be operated via an app.

Roborock S5 Max Robot Vacuum Cleaner Features

The tank of the new model has a precise water control, which allows the user to set different water consumption values for different rooms. This is particularly important for some users when working with different floor types. So this feature will prevent damage. In addition, the Roborock S5 Max also offers the option of setting up restricted zones. So the suction robot only wipes the desired areas.

For the other functions, the 35.3 x 9.65 x 35.0 cm Roborock S5 Max is similar to the S5 we tested. For example, you can control the robot using an app and define exclusion zones in the app. And, of course, the suction robot navigates through the rooms with lidar support, which means it does its cleaning work quite quickly. Because the main task of the Roborock is the suction and not the damp wiping.

These are of course full-bodied statements, which certainly have their justification – but you have to see whether this is necessary. In the end, we have to do it by hand anyway for heavy soiling. And you also have to check a vacuum cleaner robot that can also wipe from time to time, because in some circumstances it does nothing but pull a damp and at some point dirty cloth behind it. But, you have to let Roborock do that, too.
