05 Jun 2020 · Reviews 31 CommentsCleaning a house requires some routine tasks and cleaning the floor is one of them.There's always dust, crumbs, hair or pet hair to clean... every day.Now that it's at home, it looks like that little dirt has even increased.But a robot vacuum can provide essential help.Sitting on the couch or office chair while you work, just pick up your smartphone and give the order to start cleaning.At Pplware we cleaned the house again with a robot vacuum and we have to present you in detail the Roborock S5 Max.The demand for robot vacuum cleaners continues to increase.There are more and more people wanting to automate household tasks and cleaning the floor can now be done daily and effortlessly.There is a great diversity of models and prices for all wallets.The relationship between quality and price is always an important factor to consider and that is why here we have already tested the most varied types and brands.From the Xiaomi ecosystem today we bring the Roborock S5 Max that in addition to vacuuming also cleans with water.All your control is done via the app, including the power with which you vacuum the house and the amount of water that is used with each pass.The Roborock S5 Max vacuum cleaner comes with the essential accessories for its operation: the charging base, a plastic surface to attach to the base, so as not to damage the floor if the cloth is wet, a cloth and the water tank.The filter and the rotating brush are already installed in the vacuum cleaner.The Roborock S5 Max has a design very similar to the more traditional vacuum robots.It's round, with a swivel broom, front bumper, laser sensors on top, garbage dump, anti-shock and anti-fall sensors...In this particular case it has a glossy finish on the top and a matte finish on the sensor area.It is available in black and white, thus also adapting to your home decor, as it is an equipment that will be visible in the base division.As dimensions it has 353 x 350 x 96.5 mm and weighs 3.5 kg.On top you have the laser sensors for mapping the area and the various control buttons.It also has the lid that gives access to the tank, the Wi-Fi indicator light and the reset button.In this area there is still an accessory to help with cleaning the vacuum cleaner.At the front it included a bumper with a charging base location sensor.On the side, in turn, there is a wall sensor and below the various anti-fall sensors.There is also the water tank, to which the mop is attached.At the bottom there is also the main rotating brush, the rubber side broom, the omnidirectional wheel and the main wheels capable of climbing up to two centimeters.It is a feature created with the intention of crossing small gaps and carpets.The mapping of the house is done right on the first aspiration, simultaneously.This is a feature common to several models, even from other brands, which, in a way, turns out to be more efficient.As for the mapping, it is done correctly, however, later in the app, it may be necessary to adjust some divisions that were not well defined.In addition, the user can save up to 4 maps, which is great for those who have more than one floor.Walls and obstacles are correctly recognized, with no unnecessary collisions during cleaning.In addition, the anti-drop sensors did not reveal any failures either.The vacuum is fully controlled by the Roborock mobile app, available for Android and iOS for free.Thus, it allows to do all the remote control, even outside the house, since the vacuum cleaner is connected to the Wi-Fi network at home.Homepage: Roborock Price: FreeIn addition to ordering vacuuming, stopping, returning to base, it is possible to define localized vacuuming areas, make appointments and consult information on the cleaning history, as well as enabling other features.One of them is the intelligent detection of mats, increasing the suction power.It's something that really works perfectly.However, it should be noted that when using the water tank, you must create limits on the mats, as the detection does not prevent the robot from climbing it.Water, in some cases, can damage the rug.Another is the map save mode which allows you to save up to 4 maps.That is, for those who have more than one floor in the house, it is possible to have the vacuum cleaner adapted to each of them.Using the cleaning cloth now allows you to control the water dispensed, per room.The suction power of the vacuum can also be adjusted via the app.The Roborock S5 Max does a very efficient vacuuming and the possibility to adjust the suction power is very advantageous.Cleaning with water is only superficial, even with the water adjustment.Still, for day-to-day it's more than enough to keep the house clean.At the end of washing the floor with the cloth, simply remove it and put it in the washing machine.In addition, both the water dispensing and the suction power can be adjusted by division.Something that, until then, I had not seen in any vacuum cleaner.The path taken by the vacuum cleaner is classified as more efficient, as it tends to cover the largest space in a straight line, after having already traveled all the way around the area to be vacuumed.Most vacuum cleaners clean within the same genre, but in all rooms they follow the same cleaning guideline.Autonomy is always an important aspect and, in this case, a very positive one.This robot allows you to vacuum an area of about 140 m² with a battery cycle, with maximum suction power.At the medium level, it can reach up to 210 m², which is quite a lot.Still, if the cleaning is not complete, the Roborock S5 Max goes back to the base, charges and starts its work again until it is finished.The Roborock S5 Max emerges as a viable option among the best vacuum robots on the market.In addition to efficient vacuuming of floors, rugs and carpets, it also guarantees floor cleaning through its mop.The mapping also receives a positive note and the app offers great possibilities for adjustments.The highlight is the adjustment of water dispensing and suction power by division and the possibility of recording up to four maps, ideal for those who have several floors in the house.The vacuum cleaner is available in black and white at the promotional price of €439.00 (additional €10 discount if you use the code ROBOROCK).Shipping is free from Europe.This article is over a year oldPropose a fix, make a suggestionAuthor: Maria Inês CoelhoTags: analysisvacuum cleanerRobôroborockRoborock S5 MaxI have a Roborock S5 and it's flawless.It's just a shame not to climb stairs lol.The scene of passing the “mop” is more like passing a damp cloth.Don't expect it to get stains out.It does the same as the Romba for half the price.Because cheap rombas are stupid and don't do mapping.I also have one, S50 (Xiaomi Vacum 2) and it's a great machine.It's just a shame it's no longer available at a good price on the market.Does anyone know if this model is compatible with Alexa?Does anyone know the difference between Roborock S5 Max and Roborock S6?Is the extra value worth it?The differences are essentially at the level of garbage and water deposits.Having not tested the S6, but looking at the specs and features, I'd say it's not worth the price difference.By the way, on the Roborock website it is possible to compare the models very quickly.Hello Maria Inês, is the site to buy this vacuum cleaner reliable?I'm thinking of purchasing one.Is the global version the European version?ThanksWhat is the cheapest one to let you store two-story maps?…The only problem is that it is not possible to map this model in the xiaomi application.I have this model in the mi home app and the map is savedI have this model in the mi home app and have the map saved and go to settings->vacuum settings and enable map recordingI have the S5 and it works fine with the app 😉I was thinking of buying something like this, but if it breaks down how do I do it?Do you have warranty?It depends where you buy it, in the case of Amazon it is the best guarantee in the world!And for these models there are many parts on the market is the advantage of “Xiaomi” and it is also quite reliableAnd how does the guarantee work on Amazon?Amazon: You can try the product for 1 month and return it (they pay shipping back) without question.Any problem with the product during warranty, send a new one before sending yours.If they don't have the money back.But attention has to be Amazon/Amazon.There are also resellers on Amazon and the warranty is different.The site they suggest is reliable, right?I'd like to know the same.Did you happen to buy it?Does anyone recommend a model with a water tank up to +/- 300€?Viva I bought one from Gearbest and it broke, does anyone have experience in how to send it to be fixed?ThanksI never needed to activate the warranty on gearbest.But I didn't risk sending the product there.(Only if you buy GB Europe) Open a ticket and what they will suggest is to give you a store voucher or send the product.Don't accept the value right away, but it's worth it..What broke?You can easily buy the parts and fix them.Initially the vacuum cleaner started with error 10 (wet filter) I dried the filter well and it didn't help.I switched to the other one that came and it solved.After a few days it came back to the same but it may have had to do with entering an area with water because you lost the map where you had the barriers defined.I dried the filter again and apparently it was fine but after 15 minutes it gave error 18 (fan problem).I followed the suggested procedure of tapping the fan and resetting several times.Then I did a factory reset and nothing.I've been watching a video on youtube on how to open it but as it's less than a year old I didn't want to lose the warranty.In fact, I bought it in Europe, but the gearbest complaints site regarding opening a ticket is very limited because it doesn't allow me to open a ticket for a breakdown.There I managed to write a ticket, in another category, but I don't have high hopes.However, I also have a doubt about what Portuguese stores will do when this equipment breaks down.I wonder if there is a repairman in Portugal, in Spain it seems to me so, from some posts I read somewhere.I'm thinking about getting a robot vacuum cleaner and I'm undecided between the Roborock S5 Max, and the Mi Robot-Vacuum Mop Pro.I called the Mi Store and they don't have Roborock for sale in Portugal.In the store they also said to pay attention if when buying this vacuum cleaner, if the application that comes with the Roborock S5 Max will be compatible in Europe.My indecision is because my house has 3 floors, and I don't know if it's substantially better to clean in vacuums that can map more than one floor (I've never had a robot vacuum).From what I understand the Mi Robot-Vacuum Mop Pro only maps one floor, and when we place it on another floor it erases the previous map.I also wanted to have the best possible vacuum and with the “mop” function to do the daily maintenance of vacuuming and washing.What do you advise, who knows these two robot vacuum cleaners?And where do they suggest buying, in case of a breakdown to make it easier to exchange and/or repair.Thanks for the help.Dear Andreia Be careful with purchases outside Portugal because the vacuum cleaner can break down and they won't fix it here and where you bought it, they will give you a very low indemnity.That's what happened to me.Regards, André RodriguesI advise you to buy the S50/ S50MAX (roborock) Check it out on Amazon or in an online store in Portugal to avoid warranty issuesIf you want to save and buy from Spain there is a good promotion on AliExpress €326.50 (S5MAX) In my opinion as there are so many cheap pieces for them, it is not worth giving +100€.In this case they are quite reliable if you take the normal careSee promotions on “Portugal Geek-coupons”But these are xiaomi vacuum robots, right?What is the vacuum only version without the Roborock mop with 2000Pa that you recommend?Hi!Can anyone confirm that this model vacuums on this type of floor?https://www.google.com/search?q=chao+azulejo+laranja&rlz=1C1GCEA_enPT826PT827&sxsrf=ALeKk03GbzNdfhmUe7SkcozAb5dmRhI5_Q:1617121618975&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwjt_6C9t9jvAhXFmFwKHZarDHEQ_AUoAXoECAEQAw&biw=1517&bih=694#imgrc=D5CxSYsg62TfnMYour
