    The Viomi S9 would probably be the next most popular.

      My friend bought this recently and not happy with it.. IMHO Viomi series is not as good as Roborock..
      I would recommend S6 pure if not too worried about mopping..

        Yeah, from the reviews the s5max is still ahead in terms of pickupability.
        I myself am waiting for the roborock to come down to sub $500 again.

          Depends on how you value your time. I missed out on the epic deal of s5 max and regret it. After 2 months of thinking of it, I bought one for $600. And it's been so helpful in our busy household. The amount of time I saved on cleaning my house is totally worth the premium I paid for..

        I've been really happy with mine. Doesn't get stuck around chair legs. Mopping with the microfiber cloth is great. The auto empty is also a great feature.

      I bought this in the last deal. It is my first robot vacuum so I can't compare with ozbargain favorite s5 max. This thing is amazing. My family fell in love with it the first go. It created an accurate map after 2 runs (1st edge mode, 2nd full clean). Once the map was done, put in some virtual walls in the app and done. Absolutely no issues with navigation and the cleaning algorithm. It is very smart about navigating and cleaning around moveable and immovable objects. It comes directly whenever I call it for a spot clean. Every square cm of the room is covered. Once it's done, it goes back to home base and dumps it all into the container.

      The disposable bag is a cloth bag with a cardboard input slot. It will be trivial to cut and clip a hole in the back to make it last a few uses. However, the replacements are so cheap through aliexpress I can see why people might not bother and just replace the bag when full. If you're someone who's very careful with allergies, this will work perfectly as you just close the cardboard slot, slide the bag out and dump it in the trash.

      Unless the s5 max/s6 has legs to go up steps or arms to clean my curtains I honestly don't see what else I want in a robot vac.

    Just wait. I've been waiting for the S5Max too.

    I'm sure there will be a good deal again. Maybe during the holidays or something like Cyber Monday

    T8 anyone?

    S6 here… Good bit of gear… few things that it could have improved, but all good compared to many others I've tested.

    I have the Alfawise v10 max and find it really good for vacuuming. Mop function is pretty average and now I have more mats I don't use it anyway.
