Facts as the maker states them. A dash means the maker does not name it. Each model’s page gives the source of every fact. Noise is the maker’s own figure, so we do not judge it, and a customer rating only counts from 20 reviews. * Foreign shop: delivery cost and VAT to the Netherlands estimated.
Roborock S5 Max specifications
The numbers that matter first, then every fact by group. As published by the maker or the shop we read it from.
Roborock · on the market since September 2019
Suction and brushes 1 fact
- Suction power
Suction in pascal, as the maker measures it. More pascal helps on carpet, but it says little about how well the robot picks grit off a hard floor.
- 2,000 Pa
Mopping 2 facts
- Mop type
How the mop is built: flat pads, two spinning discs or a roller. Discs press harder on dried-on dirt, a roller rinses itself while it works.
- flat or vibrating pad
- Water tank in the robot
How much clean water the robot carries. It sets how long it mops before a refill, which a dock does by itself.
- 290 ml
Navigation and obstacles 4 facts
- Navigation
How the robot maps your home and follows that map. Lidar measures with a laser and works in the dark, a camera looks along and recognises more.
- LiDAR turret
- Obstacle avoidance
How the robot sees loose things on the floor, such as cables, socks or a pet accident. A camera with depth sensing sees more than a bumper that reacts on contact.
- none
- Climbs thresholds up to
The highest threshold the robot takes, as the maker states it. Measure your own: the step into a bathroom or onto a balcony is often higher.
- 20 mm
- No-go zones
How you keep the robot out of a place: a zone you draw in the app, a virtual wall or a magnetic strip on the floor.
- virtual walls
Robot 2 facts
- Robot height
How tall the robot is. It decides whether it fits under your sofa, bed or cabinet.
- 9.7 cm
- Dust bin in the robot
How much dust the robot holds before you empty it. It matters less with an auto-empty dock, which empties the bin after every run.
- 460 ml
Battery 1 fact
- Runtime per charge
How long the robot cleans on one charge, at its quietest setting. After that it recharges and carries on where it stopped.
- 180 min
Smart features and warranty 2 facts
- Scheduled runs
You set days and times, and the robot starts by itself, also when you are not at home.
- yes
- Home Assistant
Whether the robot works with Home Assistant, the home automation software you run yourself. Official means the integration comes with Home Assistant itself, community that volunteers maintain it.
- official integration
