XiaoMi Roborock S50 S55 Batang Kali Rebate
Flip the Roborock S5 above and you'll discover two black rubber wheels on either side, a multi-directional wheel in front, and a three-spoke side brush to the left. Between the wheels are the combination rubber and bristle roller brush.

Though similar to the brush around the Eufy Robovac 30c, the S5's roller brush stayed free of hair and fuzz. Design The security company AV-Test recently assessed four distinct app-connected robot vacuums' security, including the Roborock S55 and the iRobot Roomba 980. The Roborock S55 performed the worst; AV-Test explained this was"Due partly to gross security deficiencies in data transmission, the transfer of information to third parties, the app's unexplainable thirst for data, in addition to a clear need for progress in the announcement on the handling of consumer data." According to a Roborock agent, although the Roborock S5 employs exactly the exact same program produced by Xiaomi as the S55 (Xiaomi is an investor in Roborock), map data is stored locally on the robot and only enters the Cloud when a user views the map on the smartphone app.

As much as 20 maps are saved in the Cloud at any given time, and are automatically deleted after a year. When users delete a map in the program, it is also eliminated in the Cloud. What the Roborock S5 lacked in cleaning thoroughness, it made up for with speed, cleaning our hardwood and carpeting test region in an average of 15 minutes and 22 seconds, nearly a complete hour quicker than the Roomba 690 and 45 minutes quickly than the Shark Ion R85. It was as quickly as the Neato Botvac D7, that cleaned the test region at a mean of 10 minutes. We're excited about zone cleaning as it is a wonderful way to perform a daily cleaning of hall or kitchen. From the main screen on the program, you can draw boxes. Unlike the Roomba i7+ and also the Neato Botvac D7, you can't save or name the zones, which usually means you have to redraw the area every time you want to wash them. Adding to the confusion is an Edit Map button on the main display which lets you draw on barrier cassette and no-go zones. Among our favorite design components of the Robovac S5 is its own"hood" Flip up the bit that is and you'll come across the ample dustbin concealed in the middle, together with a Wi-Fi index light and system reset button.

The S5 was the only robot vacuum we examined that had an space to maintain the differently easy-to-lose tool for cleaning the brush roll, a smart means to keep whilst improving the aesthetic. An indented section close to the back is meant to hold the microfiber mop module. In 63.8 decibels, the Roborock S5 was noticeably louder than the Shark Ion R85 (59.2). We were able to have a conversation because the vacuum worked around us but definitely raised our voices. The Roborock S5 performed well, but not outstandingly so. On hardwood and carpet, it picked up an average of 96.2 percent of the Cheerios strewn across the test area, which was marginally less than the iRobot Roomba 690 (99.5 percent), the Neato Botvac D7 (99.8) and the Shark Ion R85, which divides up a perfect 100 percent with this test. The Roborock S5 steps 13.8 inches in diameter, more than an inch bigger than the Shark Ion R85; it is also bigger than the 13-inch iRobot Roomba 690 and the 13.2-inch Neato Botvac D7. Setup and app We were reluctant to provide the S5 free reign to wash if it decided to test and wash our rug, so we utilized the spot-cleaning mode, which sheds a 1.5- meter (4.9 ft ) area around wherever the S5 is put. Turns out our hesitations were unfounded. The Roborock S5 made about as much water on the ground. If it had cleaned as a Swiffer does.

Security concerns Picking up dog hair on both the hardwood and carpet stymied many of the robot vacuums we analyzed, such as the Roborock S5;it picked up only 79.5 percent of pet hair--10 percent less compared to Botvac D7 and 8.5 percent less compared to Ion R85. However, the S5 did finest the Roomba 690's 73.3 percent pet hair pickup speed. Mopping performance Much like the app that accompanies the Eufy Robovac 30C, the Mi Home app was made to control multiple home smart devices. While the vacuum part of the program is robust, the layout is not instinctive. All in all, the Roborock S5 accumulated an average of 86.8 percent of all test debris on carpet--a performance on a par with all the Neato Botvac D7, but well below the Shark Ion R85's 97.2 percent. The S5's hardwood performance told a similar tale, picking up an average of 83.9 percent of test debris. The Botvac D7 bested it by 12 percent. The Roborock S5 distinguishes itself with a mapping feature that's unique one of the robot vacuums we analyzed, but unfortunately, its art is more of a novelty than helpful. A thin disc with a microfiber pad resides under the rear of the vacuum. Fill out the dish using water, click it adjust the Cleanup mode in the app and you're ready to clean. The screen shows the place cleaning time and our item of information--remaining battery lifetime. Along the bottom are icons for Go, Dock, Clean and Zoned Cleanup. At the center of this robot is a laser cap using a splash of underneath on the Neato Botvac D7. Over the cover are buttons for spot cleaning, on/off and recharging. Maybe due to its white color, the wall detectors on the front and side of the S5 are more noticeable than on other models, but they don't detract in the bot's understated appearance.

We were impressed with how the Roborock S5 approached walls and barriers. The bumper on the Roomba 690 appeared to announce that it struck something with springy clunk; the S5 was more polite. The robot slows its own approach and its side brush before gingerly approaching an obstruction . The S5 pushed chairs and dog bowls than the Shark Ion R85 and the Neato Botvac D7. It wasn't destructive, but I wouldn't leave a vase onto a lightweight plant stand around during a cleaning. Once the Roborock S5 get its bearings, it cleaned regions in a precise, back-and-forth snake pattern. The robot vacuum quickly found its way under our dining room table, easily weaving its way to the other. We appreciated how hewed to walls and seat legs;it tackled walls and borders tightly as the Neato Botvac D7. The van was also smart enough to fully avoid a thick pile rug which felled other robot vacuums, but its taller elevation meant it didn't fit under one of our seats or our low-clearance couch. Despite its larger size, the Roborock S5 deftly maneuvered through tight spaces. At 3.8 inches , the S5 sits squarely between the 3.9-inch Botvac D7 and the 3.7-inch Roomba 690. While we don't love the laser cover at the middle, the feature was significantly less obtrusive than the one on the D7, that has a large overhang and penchant for getting stuck under living room seats. If you are adding a robot vacuum you want it to look good--particularly if it's docked on your living space. The Roborock S5 eschews the black-and-grey color scheme embraced by other vacuums for white, with muted silver trim around the rim. If you guessed that the Go icon could begin a fundamental cleaning cycle, then you'd be wrong. Instead, Go directs the S5 into a user-chosen stage on the cleaning map for the bot to perform a place cleaning. Activating the icon starts a vacuuming cycle. Buried in the Preferences menu are five different Cleanup modes: Quiet, Balanced, Turbo, MAX and Mop. The program, and by extension, the vacuum, retains the mode last used.

Cleaning performance The Roborock S5 may also be controlled via Amazon Alexa and Google Home. However, don't expect to access any advanced features using Alexa; the choices are On and Off, which prompts to bot to come back to its base. Google Assistant adds"Return to Dock," which sends the robot house, as opposed to Cease, which pauses the vacuum in its tracks. "Beginning the cleanup," a cheery voice announces from deep inside the Roborock S5. Rather than a series of Morse code-like beeps and chimes utilized by the Neato Botvac D7, the Shark Ion R85 and many other modern appliances, the S5 announces what it is going to perform in easy-to-understand language prompts. The Roborock S5 is primarily controlled via the Mi Home program (Android and iOS). Connecting the robot into the program and also to our home wi-fi network took 2 attempts because the directions for pairing the bot into the network weren't too clear. Abstruse instructions quickly became a motif of the S5. The manual recommends running a vacuum cycle that is regular . We did so, but it didn't appear to help. The S5 left the mopped area dull and somewhat tacky. If it was possible to use something in addition to water from the mop tank, then maybe it could have performed better. The black-and-white pier for the Roborock S5 is just marginally taller than the vacuum itself. A clear plastic mat attaches to the pier, but it is only needed if you plan on utilizing the attachment. Note that Map Saving Mode is currently in beta and have to be toggled on individually under Vacuum Settings from the program. We spent several test runs re-mapping our first floor due to the map not saving automatically. Both the expensive iRobot Roomba and the D7 can store multiple floor plans.
