Roborock S5 Review | Trusted Reviews

 

Roborock S5 review: A low-cost robot vacuum cleaner that punches way above its weight and that can also mop your floors.

Excellent navigation ; Great dirt pick-up ; Can programme no-go areas

Mopping not very good ; No Google Assistant support

With its excellent navigation and pick-up, the Roborock S5 is a great lower-cost robot vacuum cleaner and it can even handle an occasional mop

Roborock S5 robot vacuum cleaner review: Smart, stylish and surprisingly capable

 

Affordable ; Feature-packed design ; Intelligent mapping system ; Multiple cleaning modes ; Impressive results ; Stylish looks

Scheduled cleaning only does one pass ; Dustbin is a bit on the small side ; No Alexa or Google Home capabilities

If you've never heard about Roborock then, well, now's the time to listen. The S5 is an affordable, capable and intelligent robot vacuum cleaner that does as good a job as bots that cost twice the price.

Roborock S5 Robot Vacuum

 

The Roborock S5 is a versatile robot vacuum with good navigation, powerful suction, long battery life, and decent mopping capabilities. But it's held back by a buggy app experience.

Powerful suction. Comes with mopping attachment. Strong navigation with virtual barriers. Long battery life. Compatible with Amazon Alexa and Google Assistant voice control.

Buggy app. Small dustbin. May not fit under low furniture.

The Roborock S5's precise mapping and navigation requires little monitoring or intervention, and its battery life is the best we've seen yet. If it weren't for the issues with its app, you'd be looking at a higher score at the top of the page. As it...

Roborock S5 Robot Vacuum Cleaner review: This premium vacuum busts dust and mops, too

 

Powerful suction, laser mapping, and an elegant app justify the high price.

Vacuums and mops ; Lazer navigation and mapping capability ; Mulitple cleaning modes

No smart-home integration ; Less-than-impressive mopping performance

With its superb dust-busting and cool map-enabled features, The Roborock S5 Robot Vacuum Cleaner stacks up well against other upper-tier robot vacuums. Even its mopping function is useful as a light-duty maintenance option—just don’t expect it to scrub...

Roborock S5 robot vacuum review: Powerful, intelligent competitor takes care of your chores | ZDNet

 

Robot vacuums continue to sweep through the connected home industry, and one of the more affordable options is the Roborock S5. It may not be a name you are familiar with, but the vacuum is definitely one to consider.

Review: Roborock S5, a robot vacuum cleaner which also mops your hard floors

 

The robot vacuum cleaner market is a pretty crowded one these days, so the Roborock S5 attempts to stand out by going one better: it doesn't just vacuum your floors, it also mops them. I was already sold on the concept of robot vacuum cleaners, having...

Roborock S5 Robot Vacuum Review: Jack-of-All-Trades, Master of None

 

While the Roborock S5 offers an attractive design, spoken messages and great edge navigation, it has a few shortcomings. While the vac was fast, it was only an okay cleaner and was outperformed by models which were much less expensive. We also wish it...

Attractive design ; Excellent navigation ; Uses language to explain what’s happening ; Fast cleaner

App is unintuitive ; Mopping feature more of a novelty ; Vacuuming performance is subpar

The Roborock S5 combines vacuuming, mopping and zone cleaning, but it’s not particularly successful at any of those tasks.
