Much better than expected. I will buy a second one for the OG.

Software update 28.04.2020:
It can now save 2 floors and the floors can be labeled!
Everyone has been waiting for this update.

Pöstler came at 14Uhr. Immediately set up and clicked clean in the app. The Roborock tells me acoustically "cleaning begins". Geil the part speaks :-) The first cleaning trip begins immediately and I watch simultaneously in the app, as he creates the map. Due to the rotating laser in the tower, almost the entire living/dining room and the kitchen can be seen in the app within seconds. During the first exploration tour, he drives along the walls and then systematically (no crisscrossing) sucks the individual rooms in beautiful paths. Unbelievable how it navigates between the 24 chair legs, plus 4 table legs. There is vacuumed everywhere and nothing is left out. Or how gently it approaches the cat's water bowl. In the entrance area, it automatically detects the carpet and increases the suction power. After that, the wet pick up was tested with bravura.
The device is the absolute hammer and I can recommend it to everyone. more

Awesome robot

Summary
Bought S5 Max instead of S6 Max due to price difference and only difference, according to my research, is the camera with AI, which is supposed to avoid objects left on the floor. But this was not worth ~180. -Fr difference for me (as at October 2020). In comparison to top dog - iRobot s9+ & M6 combo, S5 Max is way better and performance is awesome. Judged purely on price, iRobot combo costs nearly 5 times more, but does not deliver nearly 5 times better performance, at most 1,5 time better performance and 2 times better convenience. Definitely recommend this robot for those looking for smart home cleaning solution.

Vacuuming & mopping performance
S5 Max vacuums really well, mopping is good too. Carpet cleaning is good so far, I am satisfied. Requires water and mop to be installed manually, but for less than 400 Franks this vacuum delivers amazing value. Glad the packaging includes waterproof mat for the docking/charging station, this means that you don't need to immediately remove wet mop, before it potentially damages your wood floors.

Navigation
I am really pleasantly surprised by the navigation on S5 Max, goes exactly where you tell it to go, cleans and returns home without getting stuck anywhere. Have a few narrow paths in the apartment (in total only 4 cm wider than the robot itself) and S5 Max easily passes through those spots.

App
The app is easy to use (if you ever used a smartphone) and allows a ton of customization. If you want a lot of custom setups, it might take 30-45 min to set everything up. if you just want minimal customization and let robot AI do the work you will be done with the app in 3-5 min. Room splitting is great, no-go zones and no-mop zones are awesome. Tracking the robot in the app is a cool feature, which also shows where S5 Max already cleaned. more
