Ditt bästa och sämsta köp i livet?

Mitt råd: släpp sargen och kom in i klubben, det är underbart att slippa dammsuga majoriteten av hemmet! Visst, man måste ta hörnen ibland och det är en hel del jobb med att anpassa hemmet så att den kommer åt överallt (ben på soffor, skåp och annat kan behöva höjas för att den ska komma åt, vissa m

Robotstøvsuger....?

Har selv Roborock S5 Max er utrolig fornøyd. Den gjør det den skal! Jeg merker at når den kjører nesten daglig blir det mye mindre støv generelt også, så det minsker behovet for å tørke støv av TV-en og vinduskarmer. Er Stort pluss er også at den ikke har et tårn/automatisk tømming. Men en lader som

Help me choose a vacuum!

I have had a Roborock S5 Max for 5+ years, and it has ran every night during that time. Besides replacing the normal wear & tear parts (brushes and filter), I ended up replacing the battery (didn't hold enough of a charge anymore) and one of the wheel assemblies. Both relatively easy to do if you're

Haben sich Staubsauger-Roboter nennenswert weiterentwickelt?

Ganz ehrlich: die haben sich nennenswert zurückentwickelt. Wir hatten jahrelang ebenfalls einen Roborock S5 Max-irgendwas, und jetzt haben wir vor einigen Monaten einen Q10-irgendwas mit Absaugstation und allem drum und dran für einen Haufen Geld gekauft. Ich finde ihn von der ganzen Konstruktion, M

Planning to buy a device, what’s considered the ”best” to get in 2026?

I had a Roborock S5 Max for about four years, I think, and it was fine. It did the job decently, but there were a lot of things I had to clean manually each time, and since I got a pug, it was struggling a little with the amount of hair on the floor. 😂 It was still convenient and useful, though. A f

Why do robot vacuums still need so much hands-on effort? (Expectation vs. Reality)

Agree! Roborock S5 Max and I feel your pain. I don't constantly watch it but have to manually prep the room first to lift up chairs and tables. It gets stuck on the legs of my desk usually. I always need to pause it half way through the job to empty the bin and detangle the hair with scissors by rem

Is there a robot vacuum that’s both simple to use and effective at cleaning deep into corners?

Based on my 5+ years of using a Roborock S5 Max, I can tell you that the idea is not to wait for those hairs and dust to accumulate at the corners. If you run the robot on a daily basis, it will just reduce the amount of hairs and dust left, that would otherwise stuck in the corners. Of course, this

Roborock s5 max is picking up dust based off the rotary spin of the brush, but I’m 100% sure there’s no suction, what do I do?

Time for a teardown cleaning. Step 14...Your motor is worse than that. The S5 Max is a good beginner robot to learn on, and if you eff it up, well, no big loss. Parts are still fairly available.

S5 max is saying internal error then shuts off

Thank you. So just an update if you or anyone cares :) I took the plate off the underside of the unit to expose the battery and motors. This is very easy to do and after removing it I was horrified at how much dog hair and other debris was in the wheel areas and throughout the under side. The fact t

Roborock (Saros 10) — 2 Month Experience

I haven’t had such issue up till now .I checked it has some kind of spring so that it bounces out whenever i push it .Maybe it has something clogged inside you can check .I have opened my previous roborock s5 max as it had some battery issues so it’s quite easy to open and check it .
