Reviews last updated: July 2026 · How we calculate this

What customers like about Roborock S6

  • Extremely precise intelligent navigation and mapping.
  • A reliable, feature-rich companion app provides no-go zones and selective cleaning.
  • Excellent suction collects dust, dirt, and pet hair especially well.
  • The brushes are designed to prevent hair and fur tangles.
  • Operation is quiet compared with competing models.

What customers don't like about Roborock S6

  • The relatively small dust bin needs frequent emptying.
  • Mopping is suitable only for light surface cleaning, not stubborn dirt.
  • It struggles slightly with very fine debris on carpets.
  • Replacement parts and maintenance can be costly overall.

Verdict

The Roborock S6 is a premium robot vacuum and mop combination equipped with a 2,000 Pa maximum suction motor, a large 5,200 mAh lithium-ion battery, a 480 mL dustbin, and an integrated water tank for surface wiping. Guided by an advanced LiDAR navigation system and a 32-bit quad-core processor utilizing SLAM algorithms, it maps out a home's floor plan and calculates adaptive, highly efficient routing patterns. Key advantages include an exceptionally quiet 58 dB operational noise volume, up to 180 minutes of runtime on low-power mode, customized app control featuring virtual no-go zones, automatic carpet suction boosting, and a detachable main brush design that simplifies hair removal. However, it struggles slightly with fine debris on low-pile carpets, requires frequent ongoing maintenance for various component parts, has basic mopping performance that cannot replace manual deep scrubbing, and its rubber side brush can occasionally stall on dense, thick rugs.
