Doesn’t set off nutty dog; no human interaction needed for clean floors
[Only 11 days in, so I’ll update this as we approach the warranty limit. 2022.02.27]LOVE this machine! Praying it’s well-built and lasts, because it is wonderful. Why? Lemme tell ya.First, the miracle: our motor-phobic, prey-obsessed herding dog CAN STAND THIS VACUUM! When I ordered it, family members expressed loving concern that perhaps I’d lost my beans. I had the great hope that maybe, just maybe, I could run the thing inside a closed room while I entertained Mr. Dog far, far away and outdoors. Living the dream, eh? I rather assumed I’d be sending this vacuum back. I visualized the moral struggle of wanting to buff out bite marks while knowing that would be wrong, very wrong indeed.Instead, I’m floored (hahahahah) to report that I can actually run the Roborock S4 Max (“Max”) with my dog INSIDE the same room. For real. Nobody who knows Mr. Dog would have have taken that bet.Our long-haired, 68-pound purebred herder hates with a passion lawnmowers, motorcycles, and my screaming-loud upright vacuum cleaner. He can’t stand the whines of a hand mixer, electric juice reamer, coffee bean grinder, drill, or manual crank-powered radio. Thankfully, the electric shaver and toothbrushes pass muster; and after much work, over months, I got him able to cope with a popcorn popper.As for things that move, he is an arch-enemy of squirrels, crows, hawks, bees, spiders, ants, slowly twirling ceiling fan blades . . . you name it. He growls at and chases brooms, mops, and long-handled shovels. He has even sometimes attacked the damp paper towel with which I’m attempting to wipe up his hair while crouched on the floor, a wheeze-inducing, poor substitute for the vacuuming I’ve neglected since his adoption. Until we got Max the Bot, it had been getting really gross around here.Anyway, something about the sound of the Roborock S4 Max motor may be key. It’s just not very shrill at all. A quite quiet little whir. Another unexpected blessing is the motion of the machine. For reasons I’ll never know, it doesn’t set off Mr. Dog. Even the little rubbery, spidery finger things are not triggering. I had to do some desensitization training, sure, but no biggie. Day 1 looked good. By Day 3, we were off to the races! Metaphorically speaking. Mr. Dog does NOT chase Max. Nor bark at it. As I said, a miracle.I’ve been using this thing nearly every day. It needs two attempts on most rooms, but what do I care? I’m SO fricking happy not to be lugging my mighty, insanely loud vacuum around in a sweaty rush while stowing my dog at someone else’s house, or negotiating with another human family member to do it for me. Our household dirt includes a lotta long dog hair plus splotches of potting soil from an enthusiastic houseplant lover who’s recently moved back in with her parents. But two passes does the job.You can read the specs and comparisons and pros and cons, but here’s the deal for me:(1) Works with nutty dog! That’s enough right there.(2) I don’t have to interact with any other humans to make vacuuming happen. I just press a button and walk away.As for all the fancy features, yes, they work, but I don’t care much. Most important, the thing vacuums well and can usually find its charging station without help. If not, no big deal to pick it up. So far, I haven’t even bothered to program the invisible walls and such. I just put the bot where I want it to clean, press the button, and walk away. Easy to block an area with shoes or other objects if desired (e.g. laundry basket at top of stairs allows humans and dogs to pass, but not Max the Bot to tumble). Getting texts from the vacuum when it’s done is hilarious.As for human factors, I’ve asked non-asthmatic family members to empty the wee bin, which fills up quite quickly with dog hair and dust. It’s such an easy task, though, they don’t mind. We DO have to pull out long hair from the twirling brush and front wheel most days, but no worries. There’s no way around that, even with a mighty vacuum.As for models, I picked the cheaper S4 because I wasn’t ready to pony up for a unit that can also do wet-mopping. Various reviews made me think S4 would be as good as S5.Can’t think of any cons except the cost and wishing I’d got this thing earlier. It’s heads and shoulders above the automatic floor dusters we tried 20 years ago.Crossing my finger it lasts! So far, absolutely thrilled.PS: I have a friend with one of these. Same model. She’s worked it hard for months with no issues. She reports with delight that her adolescent and adult children now routinely PICK UP their charging cords and hair elastics and earrings and sewing doodads and other goodies from their shared living space every day. Hmm, who know when Mom programmed that thing to go off? Such a bad memory, tch-tch-tch. Yeah, it’ll eat a cord. Ya don’t want THAT.

Great vacuum/mop! Firmware update fixed main brush errors and carpet mode.
I almost returned this because of main brush obstruction errors and carpet mode being intermittent as you may see in other reviews. Considering I bought this shortly after the release I sort of expected the need for some bugs to be worked out. Both of these issues were fixed with the release of firmware 01.44.36. I have been running this new firmware for a week now and I am glad I kept it, its been the best robot vacuum and mop I have owned.Why I chose this one:I decided on this model because of the reviews from previous models but with updates to this model. It used LiDAR laser for mapping, has more suction then previous ones, Controls water flow for mopping (good with hardwood floors), an updated 8 core processor with GPU (room for future updates), privacy not using the cloud for AI object avoidance, but still works with the google home API if you want.I spent a year researching new vacuums compared to my old roomba’s while waiting for my house to be completed. I also had a brava mop, but the idea of one machine to do both was great and this was cheaper then by a competitors combo set for two machines.Performance:This is the best suction on any robot vacuum I have used, no problems getting the dirt between tiles or hardwood floor slats out. Does good on 1cm pile carpet with out any issues. I like the control over the water flow for the hardwood floors, and I can set the rooms with tile to use more water.AI object recognition:This seems to work good for the most part, if you have a cord that is flat on the carpet it might not see it, but I just set this area as a no go zone. Cords sticking up higher like in power strips are recognized along with shoes, the pedestal of my light bases, the glass scale (impressive since it is glass) and a few other things. Despite me telling the app I do not have a pet it did pick up with wheel casters on a desk chair as pet discharge. I am sure this will improve overtime and its not a big deal since it will needed to avoid the wheels of the chairs anyway.Battery:It was able to vacuums the whole house with 42% battery remaining. My house is a 1780sq feet, but the floor space it covers is about 1200 sq feet.I recommend:Buying an accessory kit that has additional mopping cloths so you will have a clean one as the others are waiting for that weekend laundry. I have ran the cloths in the washer and dryer and they don’t shrink. The accessory kit I bought was $26 USD and had4 filters, 6 white side brushes, 5 mop cloths, 2 cleaning tools, and 2 main brushes, but the 2 main brushes are questionable with less bristles. Still worth the money for the filters, mop cloths and the white side brush work better on higher carpets in my opinion.Other things:They added remote viewing now for this pet owners that want to keep an eye on the pet while they are at work, this does work good although not something I will use. But I wanted to test it since they enabled it. You can watch it while its cleaning or use remote control to drive it. Just be carful when driving in remote mode, it doesn’t use the LiDar or bumper sensor in remote control mode so you can hit the wall or knock/push things over. Maybe they will enable the sensors for remote control in a cuter update?Things I hope they add going forward:They have a list of commands that can be used with google home and the one command they don’t mention is “find my vacuum” or “locate my vacuum”.I hope they enhance this automated home experience by allowing the rooms to be named, this way you can tell the robot what room to vacuum.I also hope they let you name the schedules if you have multiple schedules and allow you to run a schedule manually my just telling google home. Let’s say you are expecting company, you can just tell your home automation to run a certain named schedule.If it was compatible with IFTTT then I could have my HoneyWell thermostat turn on the air circulation when its mopping to dry the floor faster, maybe this will be a future item?Final Thoughts:I think its worth the money when you look at buying a vacuum and mop robot to help around the house and the combination cost more then this single and capable robot. I believe they have worked out most of the new product firmware bugs now and hopefully it will only get better going forward with home automation.

I did lots of research before purchasing Roborock S4, there are lots of robot vacuum on the market. We think Roborock is by far the best robot vacuum.

I was looking for a robot that can really vacuum and mop well, and thought that is not possible. I had a Neato XV Signature Pro that vacuums well, and thought that could not be surpassed. I was wrong. Roborock S5 Max could do either or both vacuuming and mopping very well. The other features that one can use from the App is wonderful too. Bought a unit for my parents and might buy one for my in-laws. “The Rock” is now our BFF!

The floor is really clean after the mopping.

Desde hace tiempo tenía idea de comprar un robot. No había probado ningún modelo. Quería un robot que me ayudara verdaderamente en casa, aspirador potente y también trapeador. Revisando las reseñas llegue a Roborock 5s MAX. Lo único que puedo decir es que es una maravilla. Aspiración potente y buen trapeado. Lo único que me gustaría es que pudieras poner líquido limpiador y no sólo agua. Aún así la súper recomiendo. Verdaderamente hizo la diferencia en nuestro hogar

Great vacuum cleaner – does the job quite well. I’ve been using it for the past 4 weeks and have not encountered any issues. Powerful enough to jump over the 3cm door ledge for the Kitchen and bathrooms. Strong suction power on the carpets. Have been able to find the home position 9/10 times.
