Our Verdict
Roborock S6
Roborock S7 MaxV
The Roborock S7 MaxV is better than the Roborock S6. The S7 MaxV has a hazard-avoidance function, a far more effective mopping feature, and delivers stronger performance across all surface types. Unlike the S6, it's also fully compatible with a self-emptying station, which reduces hands-on maintenance requirements. That said, the S6 has fewer parts that need regular cleaning and a larger internal dustbin.
