How To Clean Sensors Roborock

How does Roborock's first cordless stick vacuum fare?

I've owned and used a number of robotic vacuum cleaners over the last few years. What started with a free one from a major appliance purchase on Black Friday has turned into a steady stream of new models.

If there's one thing I could say to prospective robotic vacuum buyers, it's that they work better than you might imagine. But, I'd be quick to follow up with something along the lines of them not being the be-all-end-all solution to homes. Indeed, you're still better off with a traditional stand-up or stick vacuum.

One of the best things about having a vacuum that automatically runs on its own and which knows the layout of the house, is just that. There's peace of mind in knowing that your trusty little companion can clean the house for you either on its own or manually triggered.

Roborock, a division of Xiaomi, specializes in vacuum equipment and has made big strides in the space over the last few years. For 2020 it introduced a variant of its S6 robotic vacuum and the H6, its first cordless stick vacuum. So impressed with what we saw in January, we named the H6 as one of the Best of CES.

We were sent both units to review and have used both on a daily and near-daily basis. Here is our review of the Roborock H6.

What is the Roborock H6?

The Roborock H6 is a cordless (battery operated) stick vacuum cleaner with multiple speeds and features. As is the case with others in the field, it comes with a number of attachments. This includes, among other things, a dusting brush, floor brush, stick tube, and flexible tube.

The H6 runs in standard, eco, and turbo speeds with varying battery life for each. Suffice it to say, the deeper the cleaning and power, the shorter the life.

The eco mode might be what you use for dusting furniture while the standard mode is better for furniture fabric. The maximum setting is best suited for cleaning a mattress or for ground-in dirt. In terms of battery life you might be looking at 90 minutes on the high end with as little as 10 on the low.

The Roborock H6 has a built-in air purification system designed to capture dust mites, pet dander, pollen, and mold. According to the manufacturer, the vacuum is tested to have an 800-hour battery life.

There is a status display that allows for quick glances to see which mode you're in and how much battery remains.

What's it like to use the Roborock H6?

In word, pleasurable. If you own a Roborock robotic vacuum, you already know the quality in the build. It's as versatile as anything I might need, it's quiet, and it does a hell of a job.

Don't get me wrong, there's nothing overly revolutionary at play here. The stick, canister, and attachment approach is par for the course in design. While it does employ a very attractive silver and red color scheme, it otherwise looks familiar and almost unremarkable. Almost. There is beauty in the detail.

The first thing I noticed about the experience was the way the air smelled around it while running. It was clean in a way that you can't really describe. And no, it's not that "new car" effect or the odor from electronics. The filter system that Roborock uses is incredible and really works well. Even after a few months of daily usage I find the vacuum to make the air smell cleaner around me.

The Roborock H6 is light and pleasurable to work with, regardless of attachments. Whether you're cleaning carpet with the extended tube or giving the steps a nice vacuum, it's very easy to control.

Snapping on each attachment or brush is about as simple as it gets with a very noticeable click. There's no mistaking whether they're in place or not, And speaking of which, I like the variety offered.

I've seen cases where vacuum makers throw a dozen options at you and expect you to keep track of them in a bag or closet shelf. Roborock keeps it pretty straightforward with just a handful, but they're helpful and unique enough. And when it comes to storage, everything (including the vacuum) goes on the shelf that can be mounted inside a closet or on a garage wall.

Battery life is good, and it's nice to see how much time remains; however, I prefer the turbo or highest setting for my deeper pile carpet. And given there's a pretty fair amount of it in the house, I've come close to depleting it without finishing. With that said, keeping things in the middle and switching from carpet to hard floor to rugs seems to work well, too. If you vacuum daily, you'll be just fine with it.

The lock button is a nice touch as it lets you grip the Roborock H6 in a more relaxed manner. Instead of squeezing the trigger for power you can grab the handle and focus on movement.

Are there any drawbacks or downsides?

As much as I love the H6, there are just a few things I'd like to point out. Maybe they're minor quibbles — maybe they're things that can be improved upon.

I've noticed that the Roborock H6 tends to have quite a static build-up to it on the exterior of the carpet brush. Every so often I have to give a quick wipe to it to collect any hair or small dust that collects. It's not gross or unsightly, but it's noticeable.

Cleaning the canister is a different story. While I certainly love the suction power of the vacuum, it collects everything. And as a owner of multiple pets and father of a teenager, that means dust, dirt, and dander. I'd love to share photos of what comes up but it's almost embarrassing — especially for someone who runs a robotic vacuum on a regular basis.

When it comes to emptying out the canister, I've found that I have to use my hands and get dirty more than I'd like. Most vacuums of this nature make it easy to click a button or pop a lever to dump the contents into the trash. Here, I find that I have to reach in and pull out the junk or help it along – and that means washing hands.

Would you recommend the Roborock H6?

Absolutely. Even with the aforementioned gripes, I find the vacuum to be powerful, easy to use, and flexible.

My wife has purchased her fair share of vacuum units over the years, always in search of the perfect one. We've owned Dyson, Shark, and a handful of other brands. Suffice it to say, she has been quite impressed the Roborock H6.

This is the first one we reach for when tidying up ahead of family visits and guests. It's also the one we grab when it comes to cleaning out vehicles and refreshing the furniture.

While we did mount the shelf and clip in our pantry, our house tends to plug in the H6 in the family room. Its modern and minimal design doesn't draw any unwanted attention and it's right in the middle of the house when we need it.

Where can I buy the Roborock H6?

You can learn more about the Roborock H6 at the company's official site; however, purchases are redirected to Amazon where the vacuum currently lists for $450.

In this review, we're taking a look at the Roborock E4 Robotic Vacuum Cleaner . This super-affordable robot offers a ton of suction power while also housing a sizable dust cup for fewer interruptions between vacuuming sessions. Let's see what else this awesome little robot has in store for us.

SmartHomes is supported by readers. We don't want to annoy you with display ads, but we do include links to products. When you buy with our links, we may earn a commission.

Intense 2,000-Pa Suction

Let's take a moment to acknowledge just how powerful the E4 truly is. On its maximum power mode, the E4 can deliver up to 2,000 Pa of suction power that makes this robot capable of picking up and removing hair and dust from medium-pile carpeting in one or two passes. For a budget-friendly robot, we were extremely impressed by how powerful the E4 is and how reliable it is at picking up surface debris.

Easier Brush Maintenance

If you've owned a robotic vacuum cleaner before, you may have become frustrated by a clogged suction inlet. With the E4, this problem no longer exists! If the brushes are fully detachable to remove human and pet hair with a quick swipe for easier maintenance.

640-mL Dust Cup

The E4 comes with the largest dust cup available in the Roborock line. It can store up to 640 mL of dirt at any given time and is extremely easy to detach to remove the contents. The large dust cup means fewer interruptions and fewer hands-on maintenance.

Dual Gyroscope + OpticEye Navigation

The way the E4 moves around is by using a series of sensors to detect its surroundings. This gives the E4 a good idea of the floor's layout and where obstructions and obstacles lay. However, it does not have the capacity to save digital maps so it'll need to repeat this process every time it begins its cycle.

Moves Quicker, Cleans More

According to the manufacturer's reports, the E4 is able to move up to 10% quicker than certain older models which allow it to clean a wider surface area while using the same amount of battery life. The quicker-paced E4 can cover up to 2,152 square feet per charge before needing to recharge.

Massive 5,200-mAh Battery

Speaking of the battery, the E4 is equipped with an impressive 5,200-mAh battery that lasts up to 180 minutes per charge. When the battery reaches 20% or less, it'll immediately dive into its charging dock to refuel. After being topped off, the E4 will pick up exactly where it left off without further commands. The maximum cleaning time per charge depends on which mode is active and for how long.

Smart Controls with the Mi Home App and Alexa

Using the E4 is as simple as any intelligent robotic vacuum cleaner. This unit is compatible with the Mi Home App which shows users how long the robot has been working, how much longer it has to clean, the remaining battery life, and access to a programmable scheduler. Additionally, you can ask Alexa to relay your commands to the E4 if you don't feel like whipping your smartphone out.

Washable HEPA Filter

The E4 comes with a super-fine HEPA filter that traps more than 99% of particles as small as 0.3 microns. The filter is washable so you won't need to purchase replacements as frequently as you would in other competing robots. The Mi Home App will alert you when it's time to give the filter a quick wash, rinse, and dry.

No-Go Zones Not Supported

The E4's sensors are unable to store a digital layout of your home's floors, and thus, users cannot define no-go zones for specific rooms or areas. Also, virtual boundaries and strips do not work with the E4. The only way you can prevent it from entering a room is by closing the door. A minor inconvenience but completely understandable by its cheaper-than-expected price tag.

Optional Mopping Module

To make your E4 even more useful than it already is, you have the option of picking up a mopping module which replaces the robot's dust bin. With a bit of water, the robot will run across your floors using a slightly moistened microfiber pad to remove any lingering dust particles the vacuum may have missed.

The water output rate is customizable in the Mi Home App.
Simultaneous vacuuming and mopping is not supported, and you cannot establish no-mop zones either. Prepare to get your carpets slightly moistened.

Verdict: Should I Get the Roborock E4?

For an affordable robotic vacuum cleaner, we're extremely happy to report that the Roborock E4 is missing very few features you would find in high-end models. The only thing that slightly disappoints us is the lack of customizable no-go zones, but other than that, the Roborock E4 is the steal of a lifetime! You can make life a lot easier by getting the optional mopping module with your purchase.

Recommended Robot Vacuums

If you're tired of vacuuming the floors of your house, maybe it's time to give a robot vacuum a try. After all, they don't tire out, and many are smart enough to avoid common obstacles around your house. One of the biggest challenges is finding a model that fits your budget. Here's our list of the best robot vacuum deals you can get right now.

We've done our best to hit a variety of price points and plenty of different brands so you can pick the perfect fit. Robot vacuums have come a long way in the last few years, so features like restricted zones and app integration are more popular than ever. If you're still stuck at home, at least these vacuums should help to knock a chore off of your list.

These deals are arranged by price low to high so you can match your budget quickly.

Best robot vacuum deals

Editor's note: We will update our list of the best robot vacuum deals as we find new savings.

Eufy RoboVac 25C

Kicking us off is a budget-friendly option from Eufy. The RoboVac 25C makes it easy to start cleaning remotely from an app or with voice commands. It can run for up to 100 minutes on both hardwood and carpet while filling a large 0.6L dustbin. At just 2.85-inches tall, the RoboVac 25C should fit under most of the furniture in your house.

Lots of features at a surprising price

Few smart devices are as useful as a robot vacuum cleaner. The ability to schedule cleanings while you're away at work means coming home to a clean floor every day. It's even better if you or your family suffers from allergies because the constant, consistent cleaning reduces the amount of allergens in the air.

The issue lies in finding a balance between performance and cost. While there are numerous lower-end robotic vacuums, few provide the dollar-per-dollar performance of the Roborock S6 robot vacuum.

Roborock S6 Robot Vacuum Features

The majority of robotic vacuums on the market are known primarily for their vacuuming. After all, that's their main purpose. If you want a device that mops, you need to invest in a robotic mop like the Braava Jet.

The Roborock S6 robot vacuum can both vacuum and mop your floors. While it doesn't make the switch automatically, it is easy to swap out the mode. The S6 is also notably quiet, especially versus lower-cost options. It comes in at just 67 decibels, about the same level as a hair dryer.

The 5200 mAH battery gives it a total runtime of around 180 minutes before the Roborock S6 needs to return for a charge. This is enough for a relatively thorough cleaning, although the time required to clean your home will go down the more you use the device—more on that later.

According to the spec sheet, the Roborock S6 is suitable for a roughly 200m-square area. That's a roughly 2,000 square foot area, or the size of the average three-bedroom home.

One major feature that makes the Roborock a solid choice is its sensor array. The Sensient sensor array uses accelerometers, odometers, infrared sensors, and even a compass to give the S6 a 360-degree "field of view" that allows it to efficiently navigate a room, detect cliffs, and more.

Finally, let's discuss its cleaning. The Roborock S6 can both vacuum and mop, but you have to manually swap modes and attach different cleaning pads. The device performs incredibly well as a vacuum. While it also mops floors equally as well, it is not as seamless a process and requires more user intervention.

Room Mapping & Zone Navigation

The Roborock S6 robot vacuum utilizes its array of sensors to build a map of your home. The more the S6 cleans your home, the more the map is refined. It then uses this map to determine the most efficient route through a space, resulting in faster and more effective cleaning.

This feature is particularly notable with regard to cleaning large homes. The S6 will continue cleaning until it is finished, but if the job takes longer than its battery is capable of, the S6 will return to its dock to charge and then later resume the job.

As the map improves over time, the Roborock S6 will clean the same area more quickly than before. It uses quad-core processors to determine the most efficient routes through a space. You can also use the map to specify areas that need cleaning or designate "no-go zones" the robot vacuum should not enter.

The ability to set off-limits areas is tremendously useful, especially if there are areas that will tangle or clog the vacuum. For instance, an area under a desk with a lot of cables can pose difficulties for the vacuum.

There's also something satisfying about seeing a map of your home built by a robot.

Scheduling & Other Features

Outside of the primary features of the Roborock S6 robot vacuum, it has a few other features hidden with various menus on the app. One of these is the Map saved mode, currently still in Beta. It allows users to edit saved map data and create invisible walls the Roborock S6 won't go past.

Another is Carpet mode, which allows the S6 to automatically increase its already-considerable suction power when going over carpet. You can also enable Do Not Disturb mode, which forces the S6 to remain docked after it finishes charging. It won't resume a cleaning job or use make announcements via the onboard speakers.

You can enable DND mode during specific periods. For example, if you don't want the vacuum running and disturbing you in the middle of the night, you can set it to remain shut off from 9 PM until 8 AM.

Two other features that stand out are Pin n Go and Remote control. Pin n Go brings up the saved map and allows you to designate a specific target for the Roborock S6. You can also enable spot cleaning through this same feature.

The Remote control functionality gives you precision control over the movements of the Roborock. You can do this through virtual buttons that allow you to move it forward or rotate it to the right or left or via a virtual joystick.

Is the Roborock S6 Robot Vacuum Worth The Price?

The Roborock S6 commands a high price at $650, but given the powerful cleaning functions and the range of features, we feel the price point is more than justified. It competes with many robot vacuums at even higher price points.

It may not be the right choice for someone's first robot vacuum, however. If you are curious about how the devices perform and want to try one for yourself, it may be worth researching lower-priced options for a lower-risk investment before dropping $650 on a product you may or may not use.

On the other hand, if you have an inexpensive robot vacuum and want to upgrade to a high-performance model without breaking the bank, the Roborock S6 is a great choice.

Xiaomi Roborock S55 smart vacuum: specs

First, let's take a quick look at the specs of Xiaomi Roborock S55 smart vacuum.

Roborock S55 Intelligent Household Smart Robotic Vacuum Cleaner – BLACK $547.9 $399.99

Xiaomi Roborock S55 smart vacuum: classic and compact

The Xiaomi Roborock S55 looks like your standard robotic vacuum cleaner: it's circular in shape and quite compact. The device measures 13.9 x 13.78 x 3.8 inches and weighs 3.5 kg.

On the top, you will see the three main control buttons: on/off, charging and spot cleaning. In the middle of the top lid, there is a small "tower" housing the laser sensor that allows the vacuum cleaner to map out your home's interior.

Underneath, there are two large wheels, the main brush and a side sweeper. The lid opens up easily revealing a cleaning tool, dust box and HEPA filter.

One of the main convenience factors when using most of Xiaomi's smart home appliances is easy control via the dedicated Mi Home app. Once you've downloaded and installed the app on your smartphone and registered an account, you will need to pair it with your vacuum. When everything is set up, you will be able to control and monitor the Xiaomi Roborock S55 right on your smartphone. The modes on the main screen are Dock (the robot returns to the charging base), Pause/Start and Spot Cleaning. You can also use these same controls manually — as mentioned above, you will find them right atop the vacuum cleaner. But there is a whole lot of other useful data in the app like house mapping, duration of the current session, battery status, the area already cleaned, etc. You will also be able to set the timer, choose a cleaning mode, set up the Do Not Disturb Mode, receive email notifications about the robot's performance and more.

You will see reports of cleaning sessions in Cleaning History and will be able to check if the brushes and filters on the vacuum are working well in the Care section.

Xiaomi Roborock S55 smart vacuum: cleaning performance

Another feature that makes the S55 stand out is the extensive use of sensors. There are 13 sensors located on the vacuum cleaner, which help it navigate around any interior, watch out for walls, avoid obstacles and falling. Using the information, the vacuum builds a map and used the SLAM algorithm to calculate the best way to clean the area — you will be able see the created plan in the app.

There are 5 cleaning modes: Mop, Quiet, Balanced, Turbo and MAX. There is a rather large 150ml water tank onboard, which is enough for about 50 minutes of wet cleaning. Note that in Mop Mode the vacuum can mop and sweep at the same time. Even though the Roborock S55 robotic vacuum is quite powerful — 2000Pa super suction – it will not be able to conquer stubborn stains, even in Turbo mode.

On the positive side, the vacuum comes with the option called "carpet boost" that automatically increases suction when a carpeted surface is detected. Plus, the vacuum is an impressive climber able to go over obstacles up to 0.78 inches in height: it will easily make its way through thresholds and over doormats and rugs.

The Roborock S55 runs on a 5200mAh battery and can work non-stop for two and a half hours and cover an area of 250 square meters when fully charged. When the battery goes down to 20%, the robot will make its way back to the dock and recharge to 80% before returning to the point where it left off to resume the cleaning process.

Xiaomi Roborock S55 smart vacuum: the verdict

The Roborock S55 is a very strong addition to Xiaomi's line of smart home appliances. Primarily, thanks to the smart incorporation of app control that makes keeping a home clean that much easier and gives the S55 smart vacuum a rightful place in the Xiaomi Mi Home family.

So, let's sum things up.

√ Strong suction power, 2000Pa

√ Large 150ml water tank

√ Long battery life with the 5200mAh battery

√ Multiple cleaning modes: Mop, Quiet, Balanced, Turbo and MAX

√ Smart and easy control through the app

√ HEPA filter for getting rid of

√ Classic design and sturdy build

There are no specific cons that we could find. However, the Roborock S55 model is basically no different than the slightly cheaper Roborock S50 . The only difference between the two gadgets is color: the S50 comes in Xiaomi's signature white and the S55 is available in sleek black.

Roborock's name has almost become synonymous to smart vacuum cleaners. The company has introduced some of the best robovacs this industry has seen without pricing it exorbitantly. This year, with everyone having to retreat indoors due to the ongoing pandemic and lockdowns, the company was pushed to rethink its strategy of only focusing on AI-powered floor vacuum cleaners.

Roborock H6 available through Amazon for $399.99

In order to help its consumers get a 360-degree cleaning experience at their homes without the need of any outside help, Roborock has introduced Roborock H6, its first ever handheld vacuum cleaner, which carries on the company's design aesthetics built over the last several years.

Roborock H6: lightweight, cordless, powerful!

Roborock H6 is a lightweight, handheld, cordless vacuum that offers innovative features like the five-layer air purification system.

Roborock S6

I wasn't familiar with Roborock when I reviewed its S5 robot vacuum/mop last year, so I was pleasantly surprised to find it performed on par with my favorite big-name-brand models. I was even more excited to see the Roborock S6 take all that I loved about that model and add a bunch of upgrades, including increased suction, carpet recognition, map editing, and more.

Mentioned in this article

You wouldn't know all this just by looking at it. The Roborock S6 wisely keeps the Roborock S5's award-winning industrial design, including its clean white finish, and it's roughly the same dimensions. Behind the top-side turret housing the robot's laser distance sensor is the familiar lid-accessible compartment with a 0.6-liter dustbin, and a cleaning tool for untangling hair from the main brush.

Flip it over, though, and you'll see the first of its improvements. The main roller brush has the same rubber-and-bristle construction as the S5, but the bristles on the S6 are softer and more dense—250-percent more dense, according to Roborock, making them tougher on dust without scratching your floors. Also new, the bearings on either side of the brush can be removed, making it easier to untangle pet and human hair.

The Roborock S6 retains much of the award-winning design of the Roborock S5.

The spinning side brush has also been revamped. The bristles are gone, replaced by five strips of silicone, each split partway in half. This new design is apparently more efficient for sweeping debris into the vacuum's vent.

The mopping module also has a welcome addition. A simple switch allows you to select how much water dampens the mopping cloth. The lesser level it dispenses is enough for maintenance cleaning, and it leaves your floor with a light sheen of moisture. The higher level provides more water for softening stains, making them easier to remove.

Setup and performance

The setup remains a simple affair. First, snap the moisture-proof mat onto the charging dock—it will keep residual water from dripping on your carpet after mopping—and then place the S6 on the charging pins and power it on. Download the Mi Home app and add the S6 as new device. The app guides you through connecting to the robot and then your Wi-Fi network.

The Roborock S6 is quieter than the Roborock S5—by as much as 50 percent, according to the manufacturer.

The first time you use the Roborock S6, it will map your space and display a floor plan in the app, partitioned into rooms. With this layout, it can plot the most efficient path through your home, and Roborock says improvements to the navigation algorithms can result in up to 20-percent faster cleanings.

In daily usage, the S6 managed to clean the lower level of my condo in 20- to 30 minutes. That's slightly faster than what I experienced with S5. The robot vac/mop combo easily traversed transitions between hardwood, linoleum, and carpeted floors in my entryway, kitchen, bathroom, and living room respectively. The different flooring gave the S6 a chance to show off its new carpet-recognition feature, too, which automatically boosts the suction power to its max of 2,000pa. (Note that this function, and the map-editing feature discussed below, must be turned on in the app settings before you can use them.) The vac never got trapped, the way non-mapping robot vacuums often do, in the obstacle course that is my living room.

Mentioned in this article

Most importantly, though, it was a whiz at sucking up all the pet hair, food crumbs, dust, and dirt from my floors. I was consistently amazed at the amount of debris filling the dustbin after each cleaning, since the floors never seemed that dirty to the naked eye.

The Mi Home app automatically divdes the floorplan by rooms and lets you edit the map.

I like the mopping function much more here than I did with the S5. My complaint with the older model was that while it was fine for removing loose surface dirt, it left stains unchanged and required me to pull out my stick mop more than I like. The mopping method here is the same—you fill a flat tank with tap water, affix one of the supplied cloths to it, and then slot the tank under the rear of the vacuum, which drags the dampened cloth across your floor. But the ability to control the amount of water used on the cloth makes it much more effective on spills and stains. I still had to do some manual mopping from time to time, but not nearly as frequently.

The app

The Mi Home app is the same one used to control the Roborock S5 and the Xiaomi Mi Home Security Camera (Xiaomi has invested in Roborock), but the app has benefited from a makeover since I last used it.

When you select Roborock S6 from the list of devices, the app loads the current floor plan with several control options beneath it. An Edit button lets you modify the map. You can change the room divisions, set up no-go zones to keep the vacuum from entering forbidden areas, or restore the map to its original state. The app can store up to three maps—perfect for multilevel homes—and you can choose which map to load from here as well.

On the far right is what looks like a spinning-brush icon. Tapping this allows you to select one of four cleaning modes: Quiet, Balanced, Turbo, and Max. On the bottom is a pair of buttons, one to start/pause cleanings, and one to return the S6 to its dock.

When you initiate a cleaning job, you can opt to clean the entire floor plan, individual rooms, or "zones"—small areas you designate with bounding boxes on the map—by selecting the appropriate button under the map. As the S6 cleans, you can monitor its path, which is displayed as white lines on the map. The current cleaning time and area in square meters is always displayed at the top of the screen, along with the remaining battery percentage.

The Roborock S5 recognizes when it's on carpet and will automatically boost suction.

On top of this fine-tuned cleaning control, the app also provides a detailed cleaning history and some flexible scheduling options, tracks the life cycle of its brushes and filter, adjusts the volume level of the robot voice, and more. Pretty much any function not on the control screen can be accessed from the three-dot menu.

When I first began reviewing robot vacuums, there was a sharp demarcation between budget robovacs ($300 or less) and the primo powerhouses that left your house sparkling clean. The budget ones ping-ponged randomly around your house for a few hours. They were great for a quick tidy-up or to film your cat riding on them, but they weren't that powerful or efficient.

This year, you can get a whole bevy of features for that price. You can see most of them in the Roborock E20. The E20 is the more affordable version of Roborock's flagship mop-and-vac combo, the S5. While the S5 uses lasers to navigate, the E20 uses an inertial navigation system, or dead reckoning via gyroscopes and optical motion-tracking sensors.

Like its premium brethren, the E20 moves swiftly, in efficient parallel lines, around your home. It also has other features that are hard to find in a budget robot vac, like mapping capabilities and automatic edge-cleaning, and it includes them all without a creepy, glaring laser eye like the S5. I don't like using the app, and the cliff sensors are largely ineffective, but if you're looking for a versatile cleaning tool, the E20 is a good choice.

As a company, Roborock takes great pains to differentiate itself from Xiaomi, its investor. That's a fair thing to do but a little confusing for customers when you consider that the robovac uses the Xiaomi Mi Home app. Also, the Roborock website refers to the vacuum as the Xiaowa E2, which is what Roborock originally named their line of budget robovacs. But they dropped the Xiaowa name to make it easier for English-speaking customers, and now most retailers refer to it by the model number—E20 for the white version, or E25 for the dark gray.

That, in sum, is the story of how I thought I was reviewing the Xiaowa E2 but ended up writing about the Roborock E20. If this roundabout name trail was an elaborate conspiracy to make product reviewers double their afternoon coffee consumption, Xiaomi succeeded.

Once you're sure that you have your hands on the correct robot vacuum and are using the correct app, it's easy to set up. Just plug it in and the app walks you through the process of connecting the vacuum to your home's Wi-Fi. (The Wi-Fi indicator light is under the dustbin flap, in case you have trouble finding it.)

The app design seems like an afterthought. Necessary functions like a remote, scheduled cleaning, or the vacuum locator aren't buttons on the vacuum's dashboard. Instead, they're hidden in the setup menu, while the majority of the dashboard real estate is taken up by an illustration of a cat wiggling its tail on a couch.

I also found it unsettling that the app addressed me as "my master" when it couldn't call up the cleaning map. It was hard not to picture the E20 huddled in a corner, waiting to dodge my vicious kicks. "Not me, your highness!" the E20 would scream. "It was E25!"

Nevertheless, it's not hard to find everything you need if you don't mind poking around a bit, and your phone is a lot harder to lose than a separate, proprietary remote. Through the app you can also watch the robot clean in real time, sift through previous cleaning maps and logs, and check the status of all the vacuum's replaceable parts.

There are also a few delightful extras. For example, you can use a thumb controller for the remote instead of tapping buttons. And when you locate your robot, instead of an annoying ping, you'll hear an oddly cheerful voice call "Hi! I'm over here!"

Excluding Carpet Boost and Mopping modes, the E2 has four cleaning settings, ranging from silent to max. I measured it at 60 decibels on silent and 70 on max—just loud enough that you couldn't talk over it. It took 43 minutes to clean 370 square feet of my house at max power on Carpet Boost (the whole house, minus obstacles), which brought the battery down to 50 percent. For reference, it took the vacuum two hours to charge from 0 to 100 percent.

The results were impressive. When it came to power suction, the E20 didn't quite live up to its promised 1,800 pascals (units of pressure). It wasn't able to dig down into our low-pile rugs the way the Roomba i7+ or Neato D7 do, and it left the odd scrap of paper or dried grass stem. But it cleverly navigated around my booby-trapped house full of stray yarn, Legos, and small beads to unearth the dust balls in every corner and under the kitchen counter.

The map that it created of my house—without the help of lasers—was a very close approximation of my house's actual floor plan. I haven't always found that to be the case, even with much more expensive vacuums. I didn't hear any collisions or terrifying knocks as it navigated its way around the furniture, and I felt only the barest whisper-tickle against my feet when I stood in its way.

The cliff sensors, however, were abominable. I did have to spend an annoying 5 to 10 minutes every cleaning cycle, repeatedly nudging it back over a step in my kitchen.

Unlike the S5, the E20 doesn't have no-go lines enabled within the app. If you want to set up boundaries, you have to purchase a roll of magnetic tape separately to provide what Roborock calls "a virtual wall."

You might need virtual walls if you intend to use mop mode, which also entails attaching a waterproof pad underneath the vac, filling the miniscule water-tank attachment with less than 5 ounces of water or cleaning fluid, and sticking the cleaning cloth on the bottom. It's hard for me to imagine going through all the trouble unless my entire floor was one gleaming sheet of hardwood. Like most combo robovac-n-mops, it's great for picking up any extra-tiny pieces of schmutz, but less great for deep-cleaning a kitchen or bathroom.

Odd naming conventions and fear of heights aside, the E20 does offer a lot of features for a pretty great price. If you don't have any stairs, or many carpets, it would be a great pick. As I watched it delicately maneuver around an open door to suss out the dust balls behind it, I thought it might also probably still serve as a great cat coaster in a pinch.

This week only, Roborock is offering big discounts on three of its robot vacuum cleaners, including $200 off the range-topping S6 which can both mop and vacuum specific rooms.

In association with Roborock

We all lead busy lives these days, so a device that can vacuum and mop your floors while you're out (or even asleep) is a huge boon. And that's exactly what the Roborock S6 can do.

It's a top-notch model and this Cyber week you can buy one from Amazon for just $449.99, which is a whopping $200 off the usual price of $649.99.

There are also two other deals if the S6 is more than you need:

Until 8 December: $140 off the Roborock S5, bringing the price down to $359.99 instead of $499.99.

Until 14 December: $100 off the Roborock E2, which is now just $299.99.

Why the Roborock S6 rocks

There are so many reasons why the S6 is such a great robot vacuum cleaner. Here are just some of them. (You can also read the full review on our sister site Tech Advisor, which rated the S6 4.5/5) https://www.techadvisor.co.uk/review/digital-home/roborock-s6-3696730/

Selective room-by-room cleaning

With a sophisticated laser navigation system, the Roborock S6 can quickly map out your home and, once it has completed its first clean, it will automatically divide up the space into the various rooms, hallways and landings.

Using the Roborock companion app you can name those rooms and choose which of them you want it to clean.

No-go zones

Although the S6 can handle thresholds and obstacles up to 20mm tall, there could be areas in each room where you don't want to it to go – to protect delicate objects for example.

In the app you can define no-go zones which will be avoided.

And you don't have to worry about it falling down your steps: 14 types of sensor allow the S6 to sense edges and drops as well as calculate 'escape routes' to avoid becoming stuck in tight spots.

Automatic charging

The S6's battery is one of the largest around, delivering up to three hours of cleaning power. When it's running low, or when cleaning is completed, the S6 will automatically return to its charging dock and recharge.

Effective cleaning

As well as the main brush, the S6 has a variable speed rotating side brush for loosening stubborn dirt and which can also reach into corners.

Combined with strong suction – enough to lift even AA batteries – the S6 offers excellent cleaning performance, leaving your floors free from dust and debris.

Better still, there's automatic sensing which means maximum suction is only used when it is required, such as when cleaning carpets or rugs.

On top of this is Roborock's intelligent routing which work out the most efficient way to clean a room without missing areas. It begins by navigating the perimeter of a room before methodically passing across the main floor area, much as you would mow a lawn.

This is unlike some robot vacuums which take a random approach and zig-zag all over the place.

There's also a clip-on water tank and mop pads which mop your hard floors immediately after vacuuming. Adjustable water flow allows you to choose the best setting for your floors.

Convenient design

It's simple to empty the dustbin in seconds thanks to its quick-release design and placed next to it is a useful cleaning brush with integrated blade which safely cuts through any hair tangled around the brush.

The main brush is also easily removable for cleaning without tools, so it's more convenient than its rivals.

Plus, the motor is quiet – just 56dB in Balanced mode – which means the S6 won't disturb you, your family or your pets while it cleans. It's 50% quieter than the S5, so it's definitely the one to go for if you hate noisy vacuum cleaners.

And if you don't want to hear it at all, then you can schedule when you want the device to clean via the app, so it can operate when everyone is out.

The app also lets you start a clean on demand, but if you can't be bothered to get out your phone, the S6 is compatible with Alexa and Google Assistant, so all you have to do is ask them to make the S6 get vacuuming.

Get the deal

With $200 off, now's the perfect time to get a robot cleaner in your life. The Roborock S6 deal is only available at Amazon.

And don't forget, there's also the Roborock S5 for just $359.99 and the E2 for $299.99.

These discounts won't be around forever, so don't miss out.

Note: We may earn a commission when you buy through links on our site, at no extra cost to you. This doesn't affect our editorial independence. Learn more.

Erroneous error interruptions hampered this otherwise powerful cleaner.

Roborock Xioawa Plus E35

Roborock impressed us with its model S5, an excellent robot vacuum that does double duty as a wet mop. Its hefty price tag could be stumbling block, however, for anyone working with a tight budget. A better fit might be Roborock's newest cleaner, the Xiaowa Plus E35. It also mops in addition vacuuming, but gives up a few features in pursuit of a price tag that's about half that of the S5.

The Xiaowa Plus E35 has a pretty standard robo-vac design. It measures 13.9 x 13.8 x 3.6 inches and weighs just over 6.5 pounds. It's powered by a 14.4V, 5200 mAh battery that delivers a 2.5-hour running time—one of the longest we've seen—on a single charge. Paired with a 0.64-liter dustbin, it's ideal for large rooms.

The vacuum has whopping 2000Pa maximum suction. You can cycle down to three lower levels—silent, normal, and strong—when you don't need all that vacuuming power. One roller brush and one spinning brush do the dirt agitating, and a washable HEPA E11 filtration screen ensures the dust and debris don't escape into the air.

The E35 vacuums in an efficient Z-shaped pattern.

In addition to the charging dock, the E35 comes with an attachable water tank and cloth for mopping your hard floors, and a waterproof pad to keep any residual water from dripping on your floor when the vacuum is docked.

Setup and usage

The E35 takes about three hours to fully charge. Before you charge it, you need to attach the waterproof mat to the charging dock. It slots onto the edge easily and two tabs keep it in place as long as you keep it on the ground. While the vacuum is charging, you can download the Mi Home companion app and add the device. It swiftly guides you through the wireless connection process.

I first had the robot vacuum the downstairs of my condo, which includes carpet, hardwood, and linoleum. The E35 doesn't use a laser sensor to navigate like the S5; instead, it cleans in a Z-shape pattern, relying on its various sensors to guide it around obstacles. Once the whole area is covered, it then moves to clean along the walls. The E35 maps the space as it goes, so it knows where it has already cleaned and where it hasn't.

The E35 can vacuum and mop at the same time.

The E35 was able to transition over the different flooring without issue, and generally worked its way around furniture without any hangups. Other obstacles gave it trouble, though. It got stuck on a floor mat in the bathroom and couldn't negotiate a stray pair of shoes on the floor, but these interruptions are to be expected. The E35 emits a voice alert and pushes and notification to your phone. Remove the obstacle or free the vacuum from its snare, and it resumes cleaning.

The E35, however, frequently stalled when there was no real "obstacle" in its path. This happened most often when it was cleaning in the entryway. It stopped and gave an error alert a half dozen times in a span of about 10 minutes. The first time was when it encountered the front door. Instead of changing direction when its bumper sensor came in contact with the door, it just stopped and told me I needed to "clear the obstacle." The remaining "errors" all occurred when it was cleaning along the baseboards. As it does this by making a small turn into the wall then straightening out, inching forward and repeating that cycle, I could only assume it was sometimes misinterpreting the wall itself as an obstacle.

In none of these incidents was there anything stuck in the vacuum's brushes or under its wheels. I'd merely press the cleaning button to resume the job and he E35 would continue until the next time it got stuck.

Mopping

To mop hard floors, you fill the mopping module and slot it under the E35's dustbin. A mopping cloth comes pre-attached and a spare is provided.

The Mi Home app displays real-time cleaning and battery data.

As the E35 vacuums, it drags the damp cloth over your floor in its wake. (There is a dedicated mopping mode that reduces dust collection, but this must be enabled in the app.) This is adequate for getting rid of surface grime, which made it great for daily mopping of my two highest-traffic areas—the entry way and kitchen. Any spots of built-up dirt, though, still required a stick mop and some elbow grease.

It's important to note here that the E35 doesn't know what type of floor it's on, which can present an issue if you have carpet and hard flooring in connecting rooms. The E35 manual recommends putting down magnetic tape to create a virtual barrier in front of any carpeted room to keep the vacuum out when using the mopping module. This tape is provided with many robot vacuums but not the E35. That meant I had to stand watch when I was mopping my kitchen to make sure the E35 didn't stray into the living room and soak the carpet.

The app

In addition to letting you start, pause and cancel cleaning jobs, the Mi Home app provides cleaning data, battery level, and a mapping visualization in real time. Other features include a scheduling option, detailed cleaning history, and consumables tracking that lets you know how much the filter, brush, and other components have been used, so you know when to replace them. The app also includes two remote controls—one key style and one rocker style—for manually directing the E35.

Verdict

The Xiaowa Plus E35 is a competent cleaner with excellent app control. Its large dustbin and crazy long battery life make it ideal for large rooms, and its uncommonly strong suction power is superb for extracting pet hair and other debris from carpet fibers.

It's a pity, then, that we had so much trouble with erroneous obstacle alerts. The frequency of cleaning interruptions this causes makes it hard to give the E35 a strong recommendation until the issue is corrected. In the meantime, a better option is the Ecovacs Deebot OZMO 930, which isn't quite as temperamental and knows to avoid carpeting while it's in mopping mode, so you don't have to babysit it. It can be had fairly affordably from third-party sellers on Amazon.

Which vacuum cleaner should you buy – Xiaomi Mi Robot vs Roborock s50?

Technology is changing the world as we know it, and one of the most recent changes have hit the vacuum cleaner market. Long gone are vacuum cleaners as you know it, and it's time to make way for more automatic, worry-free, robotic alternatives. Xiaomi has already tested the waters and has built a strong foothold in the market for robotic vacuum cleaners by releasing the second-generation Xiaomi Mi Robot Vacuum Cleaner as the Roborock s50. Therefore, this is the battle between Xiaomi Mi Robot vacuum cleaner vs Roborock s50.

Both are amazing variants and provide value for every buck spent. Robotic vacuum cleaners are good for people who don't have time to focus on cleaning every corner of their house. But between the Xiaomi mi robot vacuum cleaner vs Roborock s50, which vacuum cleaner should you put your money on?

Let's talk design

Vacuum cleaners as we've always known come with long handles that require you to push the machine around to clean. But not with the new robotic vacuum cleaners. Both the Mi robot vs Roborock s50 have a round disc-like shape, making them very compact and unlike any vacuum cleaner, you've known yet. Width and diameter wise, both the Xiaomi Mi robot vacuum cleaner vs Roborock S50 have approximately the same dimensions.

They both have a length of 13.9 inches and a width of 13.78 inches. This makes both the vacuum cleaners just about a good enough size when it comes to portability. The overall design of the two vacuum cleaners is also very similar. Therefore, when it comes to picking between the Mi robot vs Roborock s50, the design is not a strong factor. Although it certainly is a feature that should make you buy it over other traditional vacuum cleaners.

Are they efficient as vacuum cleaners?

When it comes to cleaning, both the mi robot vs roborock s50 can sweep and mop, which is all you essentially need a vacuum cleaner for. They are good for floors and for carpets, and can automatically detect the kind of surface they're working to clean. The Roborock S50, however, is significantly better at cleaning thicker carpets.

However, to be fair, they really aren't the best at cleaning, when put against traditional vacuum cleaners. While you do get the convenience of not having to do the work yourself, both the Xiaomi Mi Robot vacuum cleaner vs Roborock S50 are good enough, but not impressive when it comes to cleaning super dirty floors. If you have tiles on your floors, for example, even after two cleaning rounds, neither the xiaomi mi robot vacuum cleaner vs roborock s50 will be efficient at cleaning the creases between the tiles. The roborock s50, however, is a decent buy if you have a carpeted floor. You also get a mop filter with the roborock s50 now, which is always nice.

So what does the robotic aspect do?

Oh, this is where the fun part comes. Remember how hard it is to clean your entire house, even with a vacuum cleaner? You don't have to worry about any of that with these robotic vacuum cleaners! The Xiaomi mi robot vacuum cleaner vs Roborock s50 comes equipped with Laser Distance Sensors, which allows them to plan their paths around your home so they can do their work without continuously bumping into walls or any furniture. Even if you keep the machines on a table, they won't fall off!

With both the mi robot vs Roborock s50, you get an automatic path planning system. Since both devices connect to the Mi Home app on your phone, you can see how, how much, and in what time your device managed to clean your homes. You can see the exact routes it's going to follow – these routes are automatically figured out by your device using the lasers it comes equipped with – and you can see how long it took for the device to do the cleaning.

How about the cleaning efficiency?

Both robotic vacuum cleaners are decent at their jobs, especially for their price points. But which should you buy? Well, if we're looking at cleaning efficiency, they're not very different. The main differences are noticeable when it comes to robotic features. Between the Xiaomi Mi robot vacuum cleaner vs Roborock S50, the latter is much better at planning its paths and at understanding the kind of surfaces it is working on. But the Xiaomi Mi Robot is pretty decent as well.

It's hard to tell any differences between the two at first glance. However, over time, if you look inside, the Roborock s50 is definitely an upgrade over the first-gen Xiaomi Mi Robot 2. Between the mi robot vs Roborock s50, the latter is better. It gives you a cleaner house in lesser time, although the difference is not significant, Mi Robot is also fast.

So, verdict? – Xiaomi Mi robot 2 vs Roborock S50

To be honest, when it comes to choosing between Xiaomi Mi robot vacuum cleaner vs Roborock S50, you really don't need to upgrade if you already own a Xiaomi Mi Robot Vacuum Cleaner. This is especially keeping in mind the price bump if you choose to buy the Roborock s50. However, if you're new to the market, definitely pay the extra for the Roborock s50. This is because between Xiaomi Mi robot 2 vs Roborock S50, the former was more of a test product, and Xiaomi and Roborock have definitely worked upon making the second-generation a better buy.

First of all, many people do not know that edge brushes, main brushes, filters and other tools need to be replaced after a period of use. Also do not know that the sensor and water tank filter element need to be cleaned after a period of use. In addition, some users may know that these consumables need to be replaced after they have been in use for a period of time, but they do not know how long the service life and service life are.

The answers to these questions can be found in Mijia App. Open Mijia App and select Roborock sweeping Robot T6, then click on the three dots above, and then select "consumables and maintenance". You can see how long each consumable material has been used and the remaining service life.

Secondly, many people do not know much about the map management system of the Roborock sweeping robot T6. Through the cleaning of the sweeping robot, you can see the map after cleaning on the Mijia App. However, for the automatic zoning function based on room units, many people are not proficient enough to use it.

This feature will bring a leap-forward improvement to the user experience when it is used. In the absence of this feature, if you want to clean or not clean an area, you can only control the cleaning range of the floor sweeping robot by setting up a restricted area or zoning cleaning on App. Now with this function, after the partition, you only need to gently select the room that needs to be cleaned on the phone, and the Roborock sweeping robot T6 will go to the designated room to clean.

In addition, the Roborock sweeping robot T6 can not only interact with the fuselage on the mobile phone Mijia App, but also allow users to control the Roborock sweeping robot T6 through Xiao Ai voice, bringing a better experience. With these three tricks, the Roborock sweeping robot T6 will be more and more useful.

The most powerful robot vacuum created yet, Roborock S6 MaxV is now available through Amazon. Bringing the power of Artificial Intelligence, S6 MaxV makes sure nothing gets left behind – not pet hair, not dust, and it even cleans around pet poop!

While most high end robot vacuum cleaners can avoid walls and learn to avoid furniture, you are still required to remove the smaller articles out of their way. From power cords to socks and coffee cups, it can be a nuisance to clean up everything before you command your robovac to sweep or mop. Not anymore.

With Roborock S6 MaxV's LIDAR sensors and stereo cameras, the robovac can detect and avoid obstacles larger than 5cm wide and 3cm tall while being even better at room mapping and navigation. Using its twin camera setup, the S6 MaxV not only sees obstacles in its path, but it accurately estimates their location and size, and reroutes its path around them.

Depth perception means S6 MaxV avoids more than what it recognizes. Any object – down to as small as 5cm in width, and 3cm in height – can be seen and bypassed.

It will safely work its way around forgotten toys, pet bowls, misplaced cups of morning coffee.

Clean hassle-free with the most powerful Roborock S6 MaxV

The S6 MaxV is the most powerful Roborock robot vacuum cleaner yet with 25% more suction compared to its predecessors. But that's not where the cleaning ends for Roborock. Bring in water tanks and multi-floor plans!

Packing a high capacity 300ml water tank, the S6 MaxV offers app-controlled mopping that can be scheduled and even customized from room to room. When docked, water is switched off, allowing S6 MaxV to be left ready for the next mop.

During the process, a spring-loaded mop pushes the mop pad onto the floor with 300g of constant pressure, giving you mopping that is as thorough at the end as it is at the beginning.

Beyond the improved mopping, mapping, and object avoidance, the S6 MaxV also recognizes up to 4 different levels (floors) of a home, enabling you to set different No-Go Zones, No-Go Lines, and No-Mop Zones for each level.

How does Roborock S6 MaxV compare against S5 Max and Roborock S6?

Roborock strives to deliver better and improved home and office cleaning partners, with every new model bringing more to the table. The release of Roborock S6 MaxV ("V" for vision) brings the twin cameras onboard making the cleaning process even more hassle-free and efficient for you by removing you completely from the equation.

It is also the first model that brings Reactive AI object recognition onboard offering you an even smarter and more capable robovac as your cleaning partner.

Roborock announces S6 Pure designed for bigger spaces

Every home is different, which means cleaning products should stop following cookie-cutter formats and cater to all the different requirements. Some homemakers who have pets or small children look for products that are designed to be extra vigilant towards those tiny pieces of hair or debris. Others have large real estate to get cleaned and cannot afford to have their products overheat during the cleaning process.

Roborock with its years of experience of creating robotic cleaning partners for the world has been producing robovacs that cater not only to different needs but also at affordable price tags. The robovac maker's latest Roborock S6 Pure is the perfect addition to your home if you want a product that has a large water tank and can deal with the cleaning burden of big spaces.

Roborock released S6 Pure earlier this week, which went on sale for $549.99 in the United States. Since Mother's Day is here, the company is offering an early bird discount of $50 on S6 Pure, bringing the price down to just $499.99 (valid through May 6 to May 12 with free shipping).

Treat yourself to crisp, just-mopped floors every day with S5 Max. Engineered for a seamless automated mopping, it has a super-sized water tank, precision water control, virtual no-mop zones, and more. Combined with precision laser mapping, advanced navigation, and intense vacuum suction, it makes spotless floors easier than ever. All you need to do is set it and get on with living.

Mop again and again. Automatically

A huge 290ml water tank. Enough to clean a 65sqm (700sqft) apartment more than 3-times or a 200sqm (2600sqft) home in one go 1 . With a brand-new ultra-precise peristaltic pump, as used in hospital IV drips, tested for over 1500 hours of use. Now all you need to do to mop every day is fill up the tank and set a schedule.

Every drop at your command

From the app, choose the right water flow for any floor type, low-flow on stone, to high-flow for grimy kitchens. When mopping starts, it pumps extra water to wet the mop. If cleaning small areas, it turns off the water where it's already been. And when it's done, it shuts the water off allowing the mop to start drying as it returns to the dock.

Mop floors, not carpets

No one wants their carpets mopped. Put a stop to that with virtual no-mop zones and barriers. Place them on any carpets and block off carpeted rooms, so you can mop without worry. Take off the mop unit and no-mop barriers disappear, giving S5 Max free rein to vacuum your entire home. Use no-mop zones and barriers with no-go zones and barriers for total control over where your S5 Max goes.

Even cleaning every time

Mopping with the weight of water in a tank means floors don't get properly cleaned. As water is used, the cloth presses down more weakly. Dirt is left behind. S5 Max's spring-loaded mop presses down with an even 300g (11oz) from start to finish. So, the last area cleaned is as fresh as the first.

Total cleaning control

S5 Max understands your home's layout. Its laser rangefinder spins at 300rpm, sending 360° area scans through a custom algorithm in real-time. Using that data, it creates a 98% accurate floorplan map, and it knows where rooms are. With that, you can schedule cleans for one room, many rooms, or your whole home with a few easy taps on your phone.

Your Home Your Order

If you prefer to have your bedrooms cleaned first thing in the morning, or your bathroom vacuumed last at the end of a cycle, you have that control. Customizable room sequencing means you can tell your robot the exact order you want your rooms cleaned.

Faster and better

A powerful 32-bit quad-core processor makes S5 Max capable of an extraordinary level of intelligence. It doesn't just dumbly map a room. It understands the room's shape and learns where obstacles are. It uses that knowledge to transform how it navigates, calculating the most efficient route for each room. And the best way around obstacles. Without missing a single bit of floor.

Let a robot vacuum cleaner do the work while you put your feet up, go out or do anything else you want to get on with.

But if you had worries about a robot, read on for five of the most commonly held concerns and just how one brand, Roborock, is overcoming them. Oh, and stick around until the end of the article for the chance to WIN one of two Roborock S6 robot vacuum cleaners.

1. Design

Myth 1: Robot vacuums are ugly

There's a perception that robot vacuums don't look great. Well, actually, that's not a myth: many of them are not stylish-looking. Roborock places great emphasis on design and includes an attention to detail that's well thought out. The circular machines have a gently glossy finish that's attractive and eye-catching – and in a choice of colours, too. Hardware features for navigation are in just the right place for maximum efficiency, but Roborock ensures they look good, too. The recharging dock is also neat, even down to the way the power cable tucks away tidily, and the design stretches to how the machine works: just watch how smoothly the cleaner finds its way home and docks. Oh, and Roborock has won awards for its design.

2. Smart and Reliable

Myth 2: Robot vacuums are unreliable

Not all robot vacuums are equal. Some have extremely basic navigation skills, low reliability and poor cleaning methods, heading randomly and inefficiently around the room to vacuum. A high-quality vacuum cleaner like those from Roborock will demonstrate proper intelligence and advanced features. Some models have laser navigation which delivers highly precise cleaning around the room, accurate to as little as 2cm. Take the S4 for example, If features a laser navigation system that helps Roborock's Robovac navigate confidently even if there is lack of light (camera-based robotic vacuum cleaners can struggle or lose accuracy in such situations), Roborock's latest model also has a refreshed drivetrain that prioritises reverse power, allowing S4 to drive back away from obstacles that would trap other robots.

There's also advanced flexibility so you can choose to clean one room, many or your entire home. Up to 14 sensor types including an infra-red cliff sensor and a compass stop the cleaner from getting trapped and help keep your home décor pristine. And talking of smarts, some models even feature voice control so you can tell the Roborock what to do just by speaking to it.

3. Rugs and carpets

Myth 3: Robot vacuums can't manage rugs

Actually, it's true, many robot vacuums really can't cope with rugs or moving between rooms if there's any raised obstacle in a door frame, for instance. That's not a Roborock problem. The Roborock S6 has 2cm climbing ability, so it's easy for the cleaner to transition on to a rug smoothly or to mount the divider in a door frame so it can move seamlessly into the next room if you want it to. But it will never go where it shouldn't: you can set up precise no-go areas using virtual walls to keep a single vase or a whole room off-limits.

4. Cleaning ability

Myth 4: Robot vacuum cleaners don't really clean

It's certainly the case that some robots clean better than others. The Roborock S6 has suction strong enough to lift AA batteries but is 50 per cent quieter than its predecessor. And there's more to its cleaning smarts than that. A robot vacuum's side brushes are crucial – in many cases it means the edges of a room aren't cleaned properly. Roborock's side brushes are ingeniously designed to spin faster along wall edges to grab the dirt better but more slowly in the middle of the room so as not to cause dirt to fly around. Automatic recharging means you can leave the Roborock to work and know it will clean up well.

There's another Roborock speciality, too: a wet-cleaning option thanks to a mopping pad. This means it can vacuum and mop at the same time, releasing just the right amount of water to give floors the perfect shine.

5. Maintenance

Myth 5: Robot vacuum cleaners are hard to clean and maintain

All that time you're saving by letting the vacuum cleaner do its work without your help, well, you don't want to spend that time looking after the machine, do you? Charging is efficiently looked after by the Roborock, so that's not an issue, for a start. And emptying the dustbin compartment is slick and fast, so it only takes a few seconds to ensure your vacuum is cleaning at its full capability.

Conclusion

Robot vacuum cleaners may not be perfect – now, if only someone would invent one that could make you a nice cup of tea as well – but some are closer than others. Roborock's range offers strong design, impeccable cleaning, and real intelligence so that your life is that bit easier.

WIN one of two Roborock S6 robot vacuum cleaners

We are giving away two Roborock S6 cleaners, shown below. All you need to do is to share this article on Facebook, tagging Roborock's official Facebook handle (@roborockglobal). We'll then pick two people at random and each will win one of the cleaners, worth nearly £500.

Introduction
In 2017 a new robotic vacuum cleaner by Xiaomi named Roborock S5 was introduced on the market.

This smart vacuum cleaner is said to be one of the best due to its amazing features and capabilities. Today we will be having an in depth review of the Xiaomi Roborock S55.

The design
The Xiaomi Roborock S55 looks like your standard robotic vacuum cleaner: it's circular in shape and quite compact. The device measures 13.9 x 13.78 x 3.8 inches and weighs 3.5 kg. On the top, you will see the three main control buttons: on/off, charging and spot cleaning. In the middle of the top lid, there is a small "tower" housing the laser sensor that allows the vacuum cleaner to map out your home's interior.

Underneath, there are two large wheels, the main brush and a side sweeper. The lid opens up easily revealing a cleaning tool, dust box and HEPA filter. One of the main convenience factors when using most of Xiaomi's smart home appliances is easy control via the dedicated Mi Home app. Once you've downloaded and installed the app on your smartphone and registered an account, you will need to pair it with your vacuum. When everything is set up, you will be able to control and monitor the Xiaomi Roborock S55 right on your smartphone. The modes on the main screen are Dock (the robot returns to the charging base), Pause/Start and Spot Cleaning. You can also use these same controls manually — as mentioned above, you will find them right atop the vacuum cleaner. But there is a whole lot of other useful data in the app like house mapping, duration of the current session, battery status, the area already cleaned, etc. You will also be able to set the timer, choose a cleaning mode, set up the Do Not Disturb Mode, receive email notifications about the robot's performance and more.

Navigation
The main distinctive feature of not expensive robot vacuum cleaners from the expensive ones is that the latter make a room map and use it to navigate. What difference does this make?

Well, it's very easy. Robovacs without navigation system just move around the room chaotically, bumping into the walls and as a result they may go over one and the same spot on the floor several times and ignore other areas. The device equipped with a navigation system creates a room map and goes around using it without leaving any areas that weren't cleaned.

Software
The management of the robot's operation takes place through We Home, the mobile app with which to manage almost all Xiaomi products.

Once downloaded and installed on your smartphone, you will need to register your account and make the pairing away Wi-Fi. However, it is also possible to use it "manually", using the upper physical keys, but without the heart of the robot, ie the integrated smart features.

Cleaning performance
Another feature that makes this robot vacuum cleaner stand out is the extensive use of sensors. There are 13 sensors located on the vacuum cleaner, which help it navigate around any interior, watch out for walls, avoid obstacles and falling.

Using the information, the vacuum builds a map and used the SLAM algorithm to calculate the best way to clean the area — you will be able see the created plan in the app.
There are 5 cleaning modes: Mop, Quiet, Balanced, Turbo and MAX. There is a rather large 150ml water tank onboard, which is enough for about 50 minutes of wet cleaning. Note that in Mop Mode the vacuum can mop and sweep at the same time. Even though the Roborock S55 robotic vacuum is quite powerful — 2000Pa super suction – it will not be able to conquer stubborn stains, even in Turbo mode.

Battery

The Roborock S55 runs on a 5200mAh battery and can work non-stop for two and a half hours and cover an area of 250 square meters when fully charged. When the battery goes down to 20%, the robot will make its way back to the dock and recharge to 80% before returning to the point where it left off to resume the cleaning process.

Pros
Wet cleaning capability
Classic design and sturdy build
Good battery life
Easy to use
Awesome sensors

Cons
Cannot clean corners of the room
Does not clean hard places well enough

Conclusion
The Roborock S55 is a very strong addition to Xiaomi's line of smart home appliances. Primarily, thanks to the smart incorporation of app control that makes keeping a home clean that much easier and gives the S55 smart vacuum a rightful place in the Xiaomi Mi Home family.

Robotic vacuum cleaners fulfill one of science fiction's most intriguing ideas for the future: Self-cleaning machines. No one enjoys vacuuming (least of all cats), but a robotic vacuum cleaner can be everyone's best friend. The downside is that so many of the current models have a terrible habit of getting stuck on furniture, under couches, and pretty much anywhere else they can get caught. Roborock has solved this issue with the latest addition to its S series, the Roborock S4 — a robotic vacuum with the ability to free itself from obstacles, according to the creators.

The Roborock S4 can clean for up to three hours at a time before it needs to return to its dock to charge. It can transition between carpet and hardwood without affecting its ability to clean, and its heavy-duty wheels let it move between surfaces without getting stuck. Roborock has added more sensors to the S4 (for a total of 11) to improve its fall avoidance, height sensitivity, and its ability to avoid entrapment. its navigation lasers scan the room up to 300 times per minute and create a real-time map that is accurate up to2 centimeters.

The Roborock app works with both iOS and Android and gives you the ability to schedule specific cleaning times, create specialized routes, and control the S4 no matter where you are. You can also create "no-go" zones — areas the Roborock S4 avoids. These zones not only make it easy to keep the Roborock S4 out of areas where it might get stuck, but you can also prevent it from knocking over something important or messing up the wiring of an entertainment system.

It's worth noting the cleaning features on the Roborock S4, too. It uses a side brush that changes its speed to blow dust into the path of the main brushes, leading to a deeper clean even in hard-to-reach areas. There is also an air filter that helps reduce the number of particles floating through the air after cleaning has finished. Roborock says their vacuum has enough suction to pull such objects as AA batteries.
