Roomba or equivalent?

So I've waited and waited to see would the S5 drop on amazon but I think I'll just go with it as have some vouchers to use.


One of the options is £499 which states uk plug and another is £339 which says Poland service and warranty. Reviews good on both, are they the same product? Anything to be worried about going for the cheaper one?

My AliExpress order - with seller 'GShopper' - is supposed to be delivered today (according to anpost tracking it's out for delivery). Order was placed on 5th Dec from CZ warehouse.

Here's the link to the shop: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/32852322829.html?spm=2114.12010609.8148356.1.40652956ZLd14E

499 is pretty expensive.

I'm thinking about using eglobal, I've ordered a camera before with no issues.
€328

Same price €328, on the Roborock global store on Ali Express. I had mine delivered within 4 working days from the Polish store, but only Chinese or Russian store options at the moment.

For those already using the S50 for mopping, does it leak water when travelling at the docking station or when say travelling across a carpet to a mopping zone?
Trying to find a permanent location for the dock and it currently looks like in the spare room which is carpeted.
There is a rubber mat for underneath So I guess that is in case of any drips while docked.

i wouldnt have it crossing a carpet with the mop on

Have the EUFY 15C MAX, using it a month now. Its main job was to clean up the hair left from a dog, its very good at that. It does get into a fair bit of bother tho. It has got caught on a few things including laptop charger, christmas lights etc. You have to have a run around the house before leaving every morning to make sure there isnt anything lying around that will annoy it. The good thing is, if it runs into bother, it just kinda gives up rather than doing any damage to itself or anything else.
Once or twice it has also got 'lost' and not been able to find the charging station, but other than that its a very good job.

Got Roborock S5 delivered and put it straight to work. First impressions are good, not too loud, maps quickly and did about 20 sq meters in about 20 minutes and has no returned to dock for a recharge.

However it did get stuck on IKEA Poang chair leg - the U shaped leg is only about half inch thick but it's fairly wide, and S5 mounts it and sometimes it can roll off, but at some angles it gets stuck. Anyone else have this problem?

£169 is a good price. I saw it on Amazon last week for £269

Did anyone get there money back yet from AliExpress or any updates.

Nope, there have been daily updates on the feedback from the seller i got mine from. Everyone saying the same, they took the money and can't be contacted.

Is there a way to get Ali express themselves to step in iv got no reply on the help center

Nope just have to wait another 24 days. Still nothing from the seller. Can't find any contact for Ali Express themselves

Never again what a bad set up

What about your bank

showing at £188.49 for me - and camelx3 not showing a price drop to 157 or 169?

are ye sure it was the 15cmax that went to this price? edit - or was there a lightning deal today at some stage?

I actually got 30c @ 169, couldn't see the 15c other than at £189

Yeah ordered before from AliExpress no issues and seller responded but not on this occasion

Heard nothing from bank. They said they will recredit it back to my account and claim but no credit yet received

Just checked cc online and bank credited it back

Will hold off buying again until a genuine seller is posted here. Seen one posted earlier may try them

You'll get your money, AliExpress safe place to trade.
Few years back bought mobile phone there , unfortunately for the seller it was lost in a transit . Got 100% refund through AliExpress dispute.

What are the differences between the Roborock S5 Max, S50 and S55?

Impossible to get a reliable housekeeper out here in the sticks....I reckon robot vac/mop will at least keep the floors clean! :-)

I'd intend ordering an S5 Max (or the equivalent) in the next few days...but just want to check any differences in models...

This site gives a good view of the differences. S5, S50, S55 are basically the same except for colours
