Nevertheless, the mopping accessory and the water tank are completely optional and they cánido be removed.

Also, Roborock is included in the package Additional filter for the vacuum cleanerthe charging cable and the usuario manual, as well as Mop refill equipo cánido be washed in the washing machine after cleaning. The Mi Home aplicación itself reminds us when it’s advisable to wash or replace a component.

Speaking of robots, The design is precise and absolutely minimalistIt comes in black and white colors and the finish is plastic, although it improves in quality and durability indicates the laser sensor of the navigation systemwhich in turn is placed high in the center of a circle with the Roborock logotipo.

The vacuum cleaner has all sorts of sensors ensure autonomous operation hundred percent and has a front brake that recognizes obstacles without being hit hard.

As for his abilities, we know you like characters, so we’ll leave those to you here complete table with characteristics and technical specifications this Roborock S6 being sold at one Price 549 euros in Spain:

Speaking of possibilities, the robot has grown and now has one 5,200miliamperio-hora battery able to bring it to life for almost 3 hours, which allows him to clear an area of ​​about 250 square meters in one session and without having to go to the base.

In any case, the robot is complete autonomously when charging and clean again so that in the absence of obstacles he will be able to map your surroundings and clean intelligently also learn, so that next time everything will be done faster and more efficiently.

There may be dust in the container up to 480 milliliters of dirt collectedand the robot itself detects dirt or moisture in the filter, as well as the need to empty the tank, let us know in one voice in perfect Spanish.

As with almost all models, the suction power is maximum 2,000 Pascal, with a noise of 58 dB which has been reduced compared to previous models, put the Automatic carpet detection which will bring the robot to full power at the moment.

As for buttons and decorations, the robot itself A cleaning tool is installed near the containerwhere we will also see the reset button WiFi connection and the LED indicator for its status. Above we find just the three physical control buttonsone to start cleaning, another to start the local cleaning program and the usual button to return to the charging station.

For the rest we have Rubber side brush and circular motion which directs the dirt to the suction cylinder, which has an anti-tangle spiral design to avoid hair problems, and The drive system is the usual one with two motorized wheels and another one on the front that rotates 360 degrees and cánido be removed very easily to remove embedded hair or dirt.

In the lower part we also see the hooks for the mop accessory and its water tank and that’s the most surprising thing the quality of materials in terms of durabilitybecause after several cleaning cycles, the robot continues to do what it did at first glance, at least at first glance Day.

There are no complicated designs and learning curves since The robot is as intuitive and fácil as possibleand in 10 minutes vía móvil and Mi Home Aplicación you cánido have it connected to the mobile phone, to the Google plus Home platformand equipo it up, just ask the wizard with a “Hey Google plus, turn on the vacuum”.

What are the changes compared to the Roborock S5 (or Xiaomi Mi Robot Vacuum 2)?

Knowing Roborock’s philosophy, which comes partly from Xiaomi’s own tradition, it’s logical to think so the design will not have changed much and the manufacturer has focused on the functionality and to improve more practical aspects of the device, for which many of us are very grateful.

However, the most striking thing at first glance is this the new Roborock S6 is growing strongly both personal and their charging station modified by listening to users Convenient cable storage thereby avoiding aparente tangles and connections.

The arrangement of the three control buttons has been changed, a they are together in a horizontal band with the larger power button, and the overall look is still attractive so it won’t look out of place in any living room or anywhere else. In addition, it is now quieter than the previous model.

The last change is noticeable the circular side brush designwhich makes the usual plastic pants welcome five double rubber strips which, as far as I could verify, neither improves nor improves the performance of the previous system.

The best thing about the Roborock S6: an impressive navigation system, in two words

It is directly proportional to the ease with which the robot cleans our house easy installation and configurationas well as the tremendous simplicity that we are used to from working at home.

And it’s almost hypnotic from day one The robot learns over time where to go first and what to do to clean up as quickly and efficiently as possible. I have not found a better navigation system out of all the robot vacuums I’ve tried, so ten for this one.

With the help of lasers, spirit levels to prevent falls, distance and collision sensors, the robot is able to map your entire environment in seconds to start cleaning in an orderly mannerStarting with the edges and corners, which is what he stands for most, then zigzagging to the center with precision and without unnecessary repetitions.

the device itself he also finds the different rooms, and it clears up as it hits the different fields. Of course, after four or five cleaning cycles, You already have a clear iniciativa of ​​what our home looks like and you go straight to each room Minimize vacuum time.

It goes without saying that the aplicación itself This allows us to select specific areas or rooms Create virtual walls and the robot will go there to clean only what we have configured to clean and that’s all no additional accessories are required in the style virtual wall by Roomba. It seems like magic the first time.

And if that seems a bit much to you, with the Roborock S6 you perro forget about collecting figures and obstacles before putting it to work, and You cánido program it while you’re away without fear of making a mess with a plant or something, because of the robot Every object feels good and in my case I’ve seen him circle or avoid her with a graceful movement suggesting he has eyes or something.

with my joy he’s not too pushy and if it doesn’t fit, it doesn’t try until it damages a piece of furniture, the shower tray, or itself like other robots I’ve made. In your case, The Roborock S6 goes on with its work without obsession and it espectáculos on the map what is desirable and what is not.

Anytime I cánido try I just have a mishap and I blame myselfand the mobile phone charging cable remained unnoticed on the floor and ended up in the robot cylinder, the as soon as he felt the tangle he stopped and report the fallo directly to the móvil inteligente.

The vacuum and floor mopping robot that cleans thoroughly, wet or dry, carefree

In my case I used it better without mop attachmentsince I just want to do basic daily cleaning, vacuuming up hair and dust from the floor without using the handheld vacuum.

In this function The robot is quick and fast, which finishes in about 40 minutes to clean the entire floor, which is about 75 square meters, of which the robot perro occupy about 45-50 square meters discount for cleaning obstacles and furniture. Sometimes good.

In terms of suction power, there are no complaints and The Roborock S6 cánido effortlessly pick up dust, hair and other debrisFill the dustbin every three or four times a day so you cánido imagine where it might have gone if you don’t have anything dirty.

As we have already mentioned, It also automatically detects carpets and boosts performance to the max leaving them very clean and the possibility to use the dry wipe system with disposable clothes or the wet wipe.

In the latter case we must Fill the small water tank without additives, and some shutters will automatically wet the cloth to achieve another level of cleaning. We cánido Choose water streams in two levels make the floor more or less wet and take care of the wooden floors and choose a dry or wet mop Disposable clothing is used and disposed of immediately in case of heavy soiling without additional washing.

In that sense, it’s useful the plastic mat for the charging stationWell, if we normally clean with a damp mop We will not be afraid of the wooden floor by keeping water away from it when the device is stopped in charging mode or stand at.

Turn on the vacuum from anywhere, manage cleaning and talk to your robot with Xiaomi Home

He is management aplicación The new Roborock S6 also receives a change, namely that the navigation and map system is now capable, along with the implementation Create a colored map of rooms and obstacles very precise and visual.

It is easy and intuitive to manage the robot from Xiaomi Home and it is capable Start cleaning from anywhere, schedule it or even operate the robot remotelywhich is only useful from home because it doesn’t have a camera to see where it’s always moving.

Of course we perro too Send it remotely to any room-programmed cleaning zoneand he will diligently obey, so that we may come home clean with everything, and have no difficult chores of vacuuming ahead of us.

Roborock S6: opinion and experience with Andro4all

After trying a robot vacuum cleaner for the first time you don’t want to live withoutand in my case, this mantra that I have heard so many times has become a tangible reality.

I tried cheaper cutting units first but the Problems with your navigation and position layer They made me look for other performance options even if the cost was higher. I’m going to tell you about a bad experience that I haven’t repeated and that is that nobody likes to come home and see that the robot has planted a vertical garden and then tries to dig up dirt and clean plants and spread everything around the room.. This hasn’t happened to me since I bought the Roborock S5and the experience with the new version is still just as satisfying.

Its navigation system is second to nonethan the great integration that therefore ensures compatibility with Xiaomi Home and Google plus Home in a department ‘Smart’ The Roborock S6 is one of the best smart robots you perro find.

It is beautiful, even if you put it in the living room, it does not conflict, and It offers the possibility to wipe the floor with the dry or wet mop including all the accessories for it, with a maintenance schedule in the aplicación itself, letting us know of any problems or replacements.

My adjective for the Roborock S6 is that it’s amazing, between the robot and the Xiaomi Home Aplicación, fácil and maximally functional. It’s not surprising, because the previous model was already one, and the improvements only came to give a twist an experience that will not disappoint.
