The following is an overview of S5 Max’s basic features:
Battery Life
Roborock S5 Max has impressive battery life. It comes with a 5200mAh that offers up to 180 minutes of run time, though it runs for only 150 minutes in normal mode. When the battery runs out in the middle of a cleaning session, this robot vacuum returns to its charging dock automatically to recharge before it starts up again to finish the task.
In the previous Roborock models, the vacuum cleaner had to recharge to 80% of the total battery before resuming. However, Roborock S5 Max calculates how much time it will take to clean the rest of the remaining areas and starts when it has enough charge. It takes 6 hours to charge completely when the battery is drained.
Summary of Battery Life Features:
Roborock S5 was one of the first mopping robot vacuum cleaners on the market. The S5 Max builds upon its predecessor’s success to offer even stronger mopping features.
Roborock S5 Max has a water tank capacity of 290 ml, which is enough to mop a 2,000 sq. ft. home or a 700 sq. ft. apartment thrice over. As such, S5 Max is powerful enough to clean your home at least once completely before you need to refill its tank.
S5 Max also comes equipped with a spring-loaded mop that ensures there’s constant pressure on different floor surfaces. It adjusts the pressure accordingly to make sure all of the floor surfaces are cleaned consistently. You can also optimize this by selecting the amount of water to be used in different areas or surface types — as such, different surfaces will receive different levels of water.
One of the primary concerns people have is whether the robot will drip, especially while it’s charging. Well, Roborock S5 Max is equipped with a total water shutoff valve so there’s not a single drop when it’s docked and charging. As such, your robot will remain full for the next mopping session.
In the previous mopping robots, the user had to either manually control the robot or they had to stick around to make sure the robot didn’t mop carpeted areas. However, with Roborock S5 Max, you can set up No Mop Zones through the app — and, you can schedule times and zones for the mopping.
The robot will simply go around carpeted areas or other sensitive areas without mopping them — which means you don’t need to be there for constant supervision. The best part — the moment you remove the mop cloth, the No Mop Zone immediately disappears and the robot starts vacuuming all the zones regularly.
Summary of Mopping Features:
Roborock S5 Max intelligently maps your home’s layout and allows you to set specific schedules according to the time and sequence of rooms. You can even select the precise water level for different areas, suction levels, and you can set up No Mop Zones and other restrictions for the robot.
Roborock S5 Max uses high-precision laser navigation to scan the room at 300RPM and create accurate real-time maps of your entire home. Once the entire home has been mapped out, you can demarcate different rooms, areas, or surface types — and then you can set schedules for different rooms at different times and according to variable water flow and suction force.
You can also set up no mop zones and virtual barriers. No mop zones are rectangular areas that the robot vacuum will stay away from while mopping — this is a useful tool to avoid mopping the carpets. The virtual barriers are lines you can place in different shapes around your house to prevent the robot from vacuuming them. Alternatively, you can also manually control the robot using your app and have it follow a custom path from wherever you are.
Summary of Mapping & Navigation Features:
Roborock S5 Max also has an extremely powerful suction force of 2000Pa, which is enough to suck up AA batteries even if its dustbin is full. It can also climb up to 20 mm, making it suitable for thick carpets and slightly elevated regions. It also has a disassembled cleaning brush, which is ideal for pet owners. This, however, is one area in which the Roborock has been consistently powerful across all of the different versions.
The robot must also be smart enough to avoid dangerous zones or obstacles. Roborock S5 Max has the highest number of types of sensors (13) and cliff sensors (4) so it can navigate without obstacles and disruptions. These sensors let you know when the filter is clogged, whether the water tank is in place, and if there’s anything else wrong. Whatever the problem may be, you’ll get a notification on your phone and the robot will also inform you verbally.
Summary of Performance Features:
In addition to the aforementioned features, Roborock S5 Max also has the following advanced features to simplify your day-to-day chores.

I would not recommend this Roborock vacuum or the seller. It worked great for 6 months then stopped suddenly. The seller then apparently replaced the faulty battery only for the vacuum to work for 1hr before it went dead again. This has been followed by weeks of back and forth with the seller to try and get it fixed, with poor communication and utter frustration. I have not used the vacuum for months now, all I get from the seller is "...our inspection team will have a look...". Why offer warranty when it will not be honored?
