Roborock S6 MaxV Review: A Robot Vac That Avoids Dog Poop

They're like dishwashers and microwaves in their utility and virtual invisibility--once you have one, you can't live without it. In recent years, they've all gotten a lot better at suction and navigating our strange house layouts. So how do robot vacs stand out in an increasingly crowded field? The Roborock S6 MaxV aims to explicitly address the most feared robot vacuum urban legend: dog poop. It's horrifying to watch, but many bot vacs will run into a pile of dog poop and merrily spread it all over the house without realizing it. The S6 MaxV uses a stereoscopic dual-camera system and ReactiveAI to recognize pet waste and give it a wide berth in your house.
