Roborock S6 MaxV Vacuum & Mop Robot Cleaner

Yep. You don’t even need to worry about this robot accidentally vacuuming up jewelry or knocking over vases. It has everything it needs to avoid such pitfalls. But what does that really mean? Well, first up, the Roborock S6 MaxV is fitted with dual cameras, so it sees any obstacles that it might find in its path. Not only that, but thanks to infrared imaging, it can see in the dark, too. It’s packed with ReactiveAI technology as well to provide Intelligent Obstacle Avoidance. Before you even get your hands on it, the Roborock is already trained to recognises thousands of normal household objects that it knows to avoid, whether spare socks or pesky wires.

You control the robot through the Roborock app, available on basically all smartphones. But what can you actually do? Well, loads, really. First up, you can set routes and schedules for it – want it to mop your bathroom more than it hoovers your bedroom? No problem, just tell it that. Or perhaps you’re heading home from vacation and really want the house to be freshly cleaned when you arrive – just pick up your phone and make it go. There are plenty of other control elements also. First, if there are areas of your home that you prefer to clean yourself, you can set up Invisible Walls that the robot will never pass. But our favorite app function? That you can stream the footage from the robot’s camera, really getting onto its level.
