Review on roborock
Pros
1. Much, much quieter than the roomba. Like currently watching a movie with roborock on, and the washing machine is about the same level, if not the washing is a bit louder
2. It does a really good clean with the vacuum, it boosts up when it goes on carpet and rugs depending on how thick they are.
3. It methodically cleans. Theres no randomness, (the white lines on the map are where its been)
4. You can turn it on while youre out through the app
5. If it gets stuck it send you a notification about how its stuck or any error codes
6. When its done it sends you a notificaton.
7. It's got quite a big dustbin.
8. Cleaning dustbin is super easy as its all washable....Read more

We bought this vacuum to try and make our lives easier and save time. So far neither of those objectives has been achieved. On the plus side the suction is okay and I like the concept of the app. It's just a shame that the mapping is rubbish and I have to babysit the vacuum every time we use it.

The biggest issue is that the vacuum gets confused by mirrors and windows. We have quite a few sliding glass doors and the vacuum doesn't understand that these are a hard barrier and tries perpetually to find a way to get behind them because it thinks ...Read more

Works very well, although setup was a bit of a trial. The app and the vacuum don't have to be on the same network to get set up, but for a few things like updating the firmware and getting an initial map you do. So if like me you think its all set up (because it said it was), and lots of things work, you might be confused for a while. It performs very well, and there are regular software updates which is a mixed blessing. Some aspects of the software are a bit agricultural (pinch zoom of the map only zooms centred for example - not where you ce...Read more

We own two cats so the cleaner goes every day. We have a large 4 bedroom house, and after manually controlling and moving it to each room to map the layout (I don't know if this is necessary, but it was fun), it's now sent off to different areas of the house each day on its own.

It's picking up a lot more than we expected it to.

If you move furniture around, every so often it can lose its bearings and get totally lost, and mirrors do seem to slightly confuse it (not terribly so though), however it's been 'properly lost' about 3 times out of 9...Read more

Situation:
A 3 bedroom unit with tiled floor and no carpet.
2 People living. No Pets. No shoes in the house.
Dry season of Darwin has terrible amounts of dust and ash that requires multiple rounds of manual vacuum per week. By the end of each day, the bottom of our feets are literally grey from all the dirt.

Solution:
An automatic vacuum cleaner that is smart enough to navigate the unit and take away the hassle of vacuuming the house. My brother first bought it in Singapore and as a neat-freak, I was convinced by its function. Obviously it is ...Read more

The Roborock S6 Pure is my very first robot vacuum. For more than a decade, I have avoided robot vacuums because they have never outperformed their corded counterparts and despite that, they seemed to be pricier.

My experience with the S6 Pure changed that! I've had mine for a little over a month now, running it for at least an hour and a half each day, regularly cleaning two-thirds of the house, on turbo setting. I never realised how much dust build-up there is in a house despite having little to no indoor activity until now! Prior to the S6...Read more

One of the most innovative uses of technology in the home I have ever seen. Already making domestic life easier. For the price it would have been nice if some spares of the consumable parts were supplied with the main unit. Used on laminate, tiles and carpet. Hovering is completely automatic when you set up a cleaning daily schedule. Only struggles with some challenging obstacles like IKEA rocking chairs And requires dustbin emptying daily. Mopping requires more user input - selecting specific hard floor rooms only to avoid carpeted areas, edit...Read more
