Is the s5 max still a decent option today?

If you want it cheap look for S6MaxV it's aS5 Max with cameras in the front and obstacle avoidance. It's not as good as newer stuff but it's better than robot with no obstacle avoidance. If you don't have an empty house they get stuck all the time. In my country great choice for secondhand robot are

Elsőre kutyapisit szippantott be (S5 max), másodjára meg egy szép hasmenést (S8 max) amit szét is hordott a házban. Ezt leszámítva baromi jól dolgozó géprő
