Clareman wrote: A few of the pieces need to be replaced after a certain amount of use, like the brushes and filters, handy to have spare ones at hand rather than having to source them when you need them, they are relatively cheap when you buy them from the likes of Aliexpress

You can select other part options for S5 max when you scroll down.This is the brush replacement with removable ends. More expensive, but much easier to clean in a house full of pets like mine!

It is doing a great job on the floors and even the doubting thomases are impressed. The app works and supplies a lot of information and flexibility. I have tried the mopping feature yet but all is good at the moment

Initially thought it was great, was my first robot vacuum and loved the convenience of it but you get what you pay for, it lasted less than 6 months before I started having numerous issues with it to the point that we stopped using it. After reading the recommendations in this thread I went for the S5 Max to replace it and the difference is night and day. Admittedly only a couple of weeks in with the S5 so can’t speak to its reliability or if I’ll encounter the same problems in the future with it but save yourself the gbp180 and avoid the deebot if you can. I will caveat this by saying it was used primarily on carpets upstairs for me so maybe that contributed to the issues and it might perform better on hard floors. There’s tonnes of great YouTube reviews of all the different vacuums, suggest spend a bit of time checking out a few, helps you discover what features are important to you and then how they match up.

rahenyrover wrote: » Not sure which one you are referring to but bought the deebot one on Amazon and bought the S5 on eglobal link that was posted in this thread. Roughly 100+ cheaper than anywhere else so a definite bargain. Had never heard of eglobal before but wouldn’t hesitate to use them again.

I bought Roborock as a gift for family home last year. They love it. Their house is bigger on one floor. Any thoughts on what combination might be best over 2 floors

One problem I have at the moment is, on my ground floor it has a step down section into a sitting room. Any time I place the S5 max it hasn't a clue where it is. It often mistakes the room for a different room and crashes alot into the furniture.

august12 wrote: » Can anyone who has the s5 max comment on the dustbin, is it adequate , size wise. I have seen roborock also do an E4 model, has a 640ml bin but does not have the lidar mapping which the s5 max has. I can't locate the E4 for sale anywhere, amazon is out of stock.
