Product Information

It’s also the best performing robot mop alternative, thanks to VibraRise, where a vibrating pad makes it more efficient at cleaning stains. Sensors: The sensors and charging ports on the vacuum body need to be cleaned with dry cloths after 30 hours of use.

I said true because there are companies in the past making this claim but failed to deliver. The ILIFE V7S Pro comes to mind. Do not disturb - This enables Do not disturb during the time frame you have set in the app or on the time entity. When Do not disturb is enabled, the vacuum does not run or speak. Number

I’ve tested it extensively on dried stains, and it left very minimal streaks. Outside the Viomi V3 or Xiaomi Mop P, the S5 Max is the best robot vacuum/mop combo. The E4 already has an impressively long 200-minute runtime but the extended “top up” allows for even longer cleanings. The astronomical cost is its biggest flaw, and if it’s a deciding factor, then the S5 Max or S4 Maxwould be excellent value alternatives. The newest models are equipped with a stereo camera in addition to Lidar. It recognizes small objects on the floor calculating their size and distance to avoid them. Delivery was precise, and there were minimal streaks afterward. It will work best on dried stains where the pad does its best work.

I would only recommend this robot if you need the obstacle avoidance feature because the S5 Max will provide the same features at a lower cost. The first upgrade is the vibrating mopping pad that adds a scrubbing element previously missing. And the next upgrade is the Rise feature, where the pad lifts when the robot detects carpet. Next similarity – all have a single side brush. However, the newer releases like the S5 Max, S6 Pure, and E4 use the rubber version, which I like a lot for durability reasons. Gentle mode: only available with mopping function; lowers motor output to the lowest possible setting for extended run time.To put this vacuum to the test we run it through the same 3-floor testing process we run with every vacuum that comes through our doors. Brushroll: The main brushroll can be accessed by removing the plastic brush guard under the vacuum. It should be cleaned once or twice a week depending on use. It’s a good cheaper alternative if you want the same functionality as the S5 Max but without the mopping feature. Cleaning performance is excellent for a budget robot vacuum. It has the same high-quality brush found in the more premium options like the S5 Max. One of the striking resemblances of these two robot vacuums is the battery performance. They have the same battery, and consequently, they can clean the same area on a single charge.

The large 5,200 mAh Li-ion battery enables the E4 to run for up to 200 minutes. People looking for a budget robot vacuum capable of cleaning large areas with efficiency should consider the E4.

Mid-Priced Options

Tailor cleaning to the demands of each room. Crank up suction for the nursery, use more water on tiled kitchens, and lower suction when you need things quiet. The control is yours. Brush roll placement: The older S4’s primary brush sits closer to the front, whereas the S4 Max’s is close to the middle. It has a suction power of 2,000 Pa, which allows it to effectively clean any type of debris and work on any floor. It is ideal for homes with carpets as it can detect them and increases the power to the maximum. Its aerodynamic pipes allow it to have a constant suction power from start to finish. It has a large capacity waste tank with 640 ml. I’ve tested these extensively on various stains like red wine, grape juice, and tomato juice, and the results were encouraging.

The S6 and S6 Pure are the same robots with minor differences. First, the S6 Pure has an infrared wall sensor, while the S6 utilizes a laser wall sensor. Lastly, the S6 Pure has a larger water tank (180 ml vs. 140). The S6, S6 Pure, as well as the E4 and E5, come with a water tank that has a switch so you toggle it and let more water out as the robot mops. One under-the-radar option is the S6 Pure. It’s cheaper than the S5 Max and offers similar vacuuming results with worse cleaning performance.Watch your robot move through your home, seeing the exact route it's taken and any obstacles it has avoided along the way. However, run time shouldn’t be an issue for S-Series robots like the S5 Max or S6 MaxV since it has recharge and resume. 4. App Features The S series robots are guided by Lidar. Lidar ensures efficient navigation, allows the robot to work in the dark, and builds an accurate map. These robots are gentle with obstacles having smooth navigation and rarely get lost as the result are better for big houses. Those also save more than one map which makes them suitable for multi-level houses. You can guide the robot to clean a particular room if needed, set no-go (no-mop) zones, or zoned cleaning. In short, everything you can’t do with the E series. However, it doesn’t display real-time mapping, and only shows the created map after the cleaning cycle. You also cannot set virtual barriers and select rooms that it will clean within the app. So, the created map doesn’t do much, and is really just for viewing. Starting with home size and whether you need mopping or not. Another question is what kind of navigation/mapping is on point.
