The Roborock comes in a sturdy double box. It weighs quite heavily at 6.3kg for the entire box and it’s contents. The bot itself weighs 3.5kg according to the specs.

It comes with the following -
Robot vacuum itself - 1x
Charging dock - 1x
Water tank - 1x
Docking Mat - 1x
Power cable with Type A plug - 1x (You can buy a longer cable with UK plug here - https://www.ikea.com/my/en/catalog/products/10402855/)
Mopping Cloth - 2x
Filter wick - 6x (4 spares and 2 already installed)
Washable HEPA filter - 2x (one already installed in the bin)
User manual - 1x (mine in Chinese)

You can easily get spare parts for everything like the side brush and main brush. Those do get worn out. You can also buy the battery, the navigation wheel, the main wheel, dustbin, and even the LDS sensor. And yes, you can be easily replace them by yourself. There are plenty of YouTube video instructions on this.

The consumables are the mopping cloth, filter wick, and washable HEPA filter. Beware that there are compatible parts out there so don’t buy those that are very low in price unless you don’t mind. Here are the parts and it’s official pricing

Global Version - cannot set to China Server so if your other Xiaomi stuff are using China Server, make sure to buy the Chinese version.

Hi @idoblu

Just want to make absolutely sure before I purchased the China versions since my home devices are already adapted to the China server.

If the T6 do work but only with the base firmware, what are the things I'll be missing out given that I can never update the vacuum's firmware?

I am not sure since I dont own one.
But leceh only if cant update to latest software
I also read somewhere got some hacked firmware or hacked app (cant remember which) that can put those S6, S5 Max etc inside China server
I got no experience though. If you want the least amount of trouble, get the old proven S50 (make sure can masuk China server as I heard the newer S50 all also cannot)

Only choice is to buy back S50 or you can try this new Xiaomi Mijia STYJ02YM. Selling around 1199 only. Bigger water tank than S50. Got Y pattern mopping
But remember both these models have global and China version so ask the seller what you getting

there is no S5 Max china set.. in china S5 max = T7..

i'm in your situation previously. i did a lot research on internet and ask most of the shop that selling S50 in taobao, guess i can share you my finding...

for roborock vacuum only S5 series able to use outside of china.
Manufactured date 04/19 confirm will work outside china. Newer batch 05/20 seller do not sure as no ppl try before.
As of now only have S51 stock from 04/19, most of the S50/S55 will be newer batch 05/20.

So if you really wish to connect to Mijia China region S51 is ur best bet.

As for Xiaomi Mijia STYJ02YM, if you have the budget i will recommend you look for roborock. This model is not manufacture by Roborock, if you can read chinese you can search on china site they did comparison with roborock s5. Mijia STYJ02YM is not as smart as S5 and often go haywire when sweeping.

I do have 50+ Mijia devices connect to china region but i gave up buying china version of vacuum bot and get S6 MaxV during 7.7 sales.
Reason being
1) for my usage i will only need to setup once, do room labeling , no go zone and scheduling one off then the vacuum will work it own so is ok for me not to automated it with mijia home.
2) i worried that someday some firmware update might cause china version not to able to use outside china
3) the price of u getting S5 in china, u will be able to get S5 max during sales here with 1 year warranty

I need to know that comparison between Roborock S5 Max vs Ecovacs OZMO 950. Both having Multi Floor Level Maps, mopping tanks.

Just need to know what the different between these 2 models on the mopping system?

Which is better on mopping system? (Because noway all Robot Vacuum is fully can do the vacuum in 100% clean, only the mopping is new for all manufacture)

Note: Both are not having AI System (like Roborock S6 MaxV and Ecovacs OZMO 960)

Thanks.

Hello chrischiang,

Since you had S6 MaxV:-

1. what is the different between S6 MaxV vs S5 Max?
2. Do it having the multi floor level maps (as seller said S6 MaxV have the multi floor level maps)?
3. How the AI on S6 MaxV?
4. Lastly that do you mind share which seller you buy from?
5. Is the S6 MaxV in china is T7 Pro?


P/S: Actually planning to get one unit on multi floor level maps robot cleaner. But not sure is Roborock S5 Max, Roborock S6 MaxV or Ecovacs OZMO 950?

Thousand thanks.

1. i could not really tell u the different as i dont have S5 Max but from the review i've been reading S6 Maxv have intelligent obstacle avoidance the rest should be pretty much the same.

check out this youtube

2. Yes S6 MaxV have multi floor maps same to S5 Max with latest firmware, but i did not try it as my house just single storey

4. THIS LINK i get from this shop during 7.7.. was on sales for 1799

5. yes

i would recommend you just to grab S5 Max it will works great unless u really need the intelligent obstacle avoidance, else i see no point spending extra 1699 vs 2059 for just this function. i grab s6 maxv cause on sales is like 1699 vs 1799.

Ecovacs OZMO 950 in china is Ecovacs T5 Neo/Max. If possible avoid this model, you can check on china site having bad review and not recommended.

I only have s6maxv, I believe s5maxv is using the same app as s6maxv.

S6maxv can connect to both roborock and mihome app, however, the server is not in china and the vacuum robot naming is different than the vaccum name in China, hence we cant connect that to tmall genie or similar device.

Hence if you prefer to use and setup your smart home eco system with all chinese devices, I think roborock oversea version is not suitable for you. Due to i worry xiaomi will block all the China version from using in oversea, hence I choose the roborock oversea version, to avoid all the issue.

So far I'm very happy of s6maxv performance smile.gif

If budget allowed, go for s6maxv instead of s5maxv. You can use the s6maxv build in camera to check your house condition (whether close the window properly, or check your pets) when you are outside. Quite useful function.

Besides more powerful vaccum, longer usage, more quiet and larger water tank, it also has bigger mop coverage than s5maxv, it can now cover and mop the wheel trails already. Same as s5maxv, it also includes a spring-loaded mop that pushes the mop to the floor with 300g pressure, it scrubs and mops the floors with consistent pressure, mopping the floor thoroughly. It make the house cleaner after the robot cleaning.

Newer usually better smile.gif

just now googling for new Ecovacs vacuum robot in lowyat forum, the Ecovacs robot thread in lowyat forum become Roborock.. seems like there are many roborock supporters in lowyat forum.. biggrin.gif
https://forum.lowyat.net/topic/4752337/+20

by the way, if you guys want to buy a new, better and cheap robot, you guys can have an eye on the newly launched Ecovacs Deebot T8, not the AIVI version. Very few review online because it is just launched. Very good obstacle avoidance technology than Roborock S6MaxV.. just to share smile.gif
