From my research this is the new version of the Roborock S5 which comes with some improvements over the original.
- Better mop functionality
- Newer on-board processor & software (should have longer support)
- Better battery life / run time
- There are a few good S5 vs S5 Max comparison reviews on Youtube
The S5 (previous version) is currently retailing on amazon.com.au for $639.99 and seems to come up on sale for $460-$500 on here. Approximately $50-100 more for the newer version seems worth it.
Not many AU retailers seem to be selling the newer S5 Max version yet.
International Version (Power cable)
As these are international versions of the product you'll need a EU adapter or a IEC C7 Figure 8 AU cable to power the dock.
I'm guessing most people would have one already in their household or they can be purchased for $8 - 9 on Ebay or Amazon.
IEC C7 Power cable Amazon $8.99 + Delivery
IEC C7 Power cable Ebay $7.99 Delivered
Warning Toby Deals AU are slow to ship
Toby Deals have a bit of history of being slow to ship.
I have purchased the white version recently from Toby Deals AU.
My experience:
- 04/Feb - Ordered.
- 11/Feb - Queried lack of shipment.
- 13/Feb - Customer service responded apologizing for delay.
- 17/Feb - Notified of 'Being Packed and Getting Ready to Leave Our Warehouse'.
- 19/Feb - Notified of being shipped with tracking number.
- 24/Feb - Attempted delivery by Toll.
- 25/Feb - Opened parcel. Everything as expected.
All up I was happy with my purchase and their service but I wouldn't use them for last minute Christmas presents. Also I would recommend using Paypal for extra protection.
From my understanding S5 max has to use the roborock app instead of the XiaoMi home app?
Besides, S5 max has a feature to control water level for mopping, but then it is not recommended to put cleaning detergent in the water tank
