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.
Xiaomi Robot Vacuum 6 Max specifications
The numbers that matter first, then every fact by group. As published by the maker or the shop we read it from.
Consumables: a dust bag in the station, which lasts up to 75 days.
Dimensionsrobot and dock
From the published dimensions. The robot passes under furniture with 9 cm of clearance or more.
Suction and brushes 4 facts
- 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.
- 35,000 Pa
- Anti-tangle brush
A brush that guides hair to the side instead of letting it wind around the shaft. It saves the cutting work in homes with long hair or pets.
- yes
- Extending side brush
The side brush swings out in a corner or along a kickboard, so the dust there is swept in too.
- yes
- Carpet detection
The robot notices when it drives onto a carpet. Most then raise their suction, and a mopping robot lifts its mop or leaves it at the dock.
- detects carpet and boosts suction
Mopping 3 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.
- roller mop
- Mop lift on carpet
How far the robot lifts the mop when it drives onto a carpet. From about 10 mm a medium pile stays dry.
- 10 mm
- Mop extends to the edges
The pad slides out along a wall or a kickboard, so the last few centimetres are mopped as well.
- yes
Dock 7 facts
- Empties the dust bin
The dock empties the robot’s dust bin, usually after every run. You only empty the dock’s bag or bin.
- yes
- Dust bag lasts
How long the maker says a dust bag lasts with daily use. With pets or a lot of carpet it is shorter.
- up to 75 days
- Washes the mop
The dock washes the mop for you, so you do not rinse it by hand.
- yes
- Wash temperature
How hot the dock washes the mop. Above 60 °C grease comes off, which is what keeps a mop from smelling.
- 85 °C
- Dries the mop
The dock dries the mop afterwards, so it does not sit there wet and start to smell.
- yes
- Hot-air drying
Drying is done with warm air instead of cold. It is faster and it helps against smell.
- yes
- Dock height
The height of the dock. Mind a shelf or a window sill above it.
- 58.2 cm
Navigation and obstacles 5 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.
- retractable LiDAR
- 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.

- camera with live view in the app
Robot 2 facts
- Robot height
How tall the robot is. It decides whether it fits under your sofa, bed or cabinet.
- 9 cm
- Robot diameter
How wide the robot is. Narrower gets between chair legs more easily, wider usually means a bigger dust bin.

- 6,400 mAh
- Charging time
How long an empty battery takes to charge fully in the dock.
