Compare Roborock S5 Max and S6
Roborock S5 Max and Roborock S6 robot vacuums have similar features, such as suction power (2000 Pa) and the capability for both dry and wet cleaning. However, the S5 Max stands out with a larger dustbin capacity (0.46 L compared to 0.48 L for the S6) and a larger water tank (0.29 L compared to 0.16 L for the S6), allowing it to operate longer without needing to be emptied. Users note that the S5 Max performs well in cleaning, is easy to control via the app, and offers various modes, including the ability to set cleaning zones. Meanwhile, the S6 also receives positive feedback for quality cleaning and ease of setup, although some users complain about the small trash tray. Overall, the S5 Max might be preferable for larger spaces due to its larger container volumes, while the S6 offers good performance but with some limitations in capacity.

Glossary
Dust container capacity
The dustbin capacity indicates how much dry debris fits in the robot vacuum’s built-in container before it needs to be emptied. Models with a 200–300 ml capacity are suitable for a small apartment and frequent cleaning cycles, while a 400–600 ml capacity is more convenient for larger areas, pets, or lots of hair. For robots with a self-emptying station, the size of the internal container is less important, as debris is automatically transferred to the docking station’s collection bin.
Water tank capacity
The tank capacity determines the water supply for moistening the pad, rotating mops, or cleaning roller. Compact tanks of around 200 ml are suitable for regular wiping of small areas, while 300–500 ml tanks allow fewer interruptions for refilling during cleaning.
Power auto-adjustment
A function that automatically adjusts suction power based on the type of surface or the amount of detected debris. On carpets or heavily soiled areas, the robot increases power, while on smooth floors it reduces it to save battery life and reduce noise. Automatic power adjustment helps maintain cleaning quality without constantly selecting the mode manually.
Operating time
Battery life determines how much area the robot vacuum can clean before returning to the docking station. Actual performance depends on the selected mode, suction power, floor type, operation of the mops or roller, and layout complexity. Therefore, the stated maximum time is usually achieved in a gentle mode and will be noticeably shorter during intensive cleaning.
Noise level
The dB rating helps assess how noticeable the robot vacuum will be during cleaning. A level of 55–60 dB is typical of quiet robots, 60–70 dB is considered standard, and values above 70 dB are typical of the most powerful modes. The lower the rating, the less the device interferes with conversations, rest, or work.
