Adding cameras to spot and avoid obstacles sounds like a fantastic idea as it should mean that you don't have to go around the house picking up objects before cleaning. In our tests the Roborock S6 MaxV was only partially successful, avoiding shoes and pet mess but pushing a food bowl around the kitchen. Powerful cleaning, maintenance mopping and incredible map control help make up for this but the overall price means that there are better robot vacuum cleaners for most people.

Object detection quality varies; Can't avoid carpets automatically;

This is an impressive robot cleaner, with great suction and a host of high-end features. It's pricey, yes, but you'll get a lot for your money.

Robot vacuums save time, which is something we could all use. In the world of robot vacuums, innovations have continually tacked on more conveniences, including bots that empty their dustbins on their own and two-in-one models that mop. Despite all these advancements, some lack the smarts to intelligently avoid clutter around the home. The Roborock S6 MaxV is hoping to change that, thanks to a pair of cameras that are powered by Reactive AI obstacle recognition and a Qualcomm chip. Can it actually dodge and weave? Or does it still run headfirst into trouble? Giving the Roborock S6 MaxV a whirl for the first time, I was anxious to see if it could intelligently avoid or clean around obstacles. It certainly looks the part. First, there’s an elevated disc on top that tucks away the bot’s lidar navigation system, which is used to map rooms. From there, it proceeds to vacuum floors, while two cameras in front capture images at 30 frames per second (FPS) for obstacle avoidance. Typically befo...

I love thing! I have named her my wife. I dont know how i did life without her for so long! Highly recommend.

Best time saving device we have purchased . Its programmed to do the house each day and its amazing how much it picks up

Easy to use. Save so much time. You can monitor how it works on your phone.

Best appliance we have ever bought. It manages dirt, dust and pet hair well with its outstanding suction power and easily cleans up to two hours in a strategic way before taking itself back to the docking station. We don't use the mopping function. We did take out Harvey Norman Product Care which has served us well in the past and extends the warranty by several years.

Very useful and productive device, an amazing time saver
