Anyone here using S5 Max - China set?
Mind to share where u guys get from?
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
