As Good as Robo-Vacuums Get
The Roborock S501-01 vacuum is one of the top models available on the market today, and not solely due to its low price. This small rolling cleaner features an LDS smart navigation system that makes it easy for the robot to traverse around your house avoiding obstacles and surfaces that are not supported by the cleaning program.
The sensors located all around the housing allow the robot vacuum to draw a map of your house that can be used for future cleanings. The LIDAR system, on the other hand, will not let the vacuum cross the preset lines adjusted via a mobile application. On top of that, in case you have any sharp floor elevations or steps in the house the robot will see them beforehand and won’t trip over accidentally.
No more random cleanings - the Roborock S501-01 can vacuum the floors in an effective movement pattern leaving the dirt no chance. The auto-brush included in the kit does its job extremely well without the need to clean it too often. The brush can pick up dirt and remove any mess in a matter of seconds and what is more, the rolling design decreases the chances of tangles appearing to zero.
Combined with a suction power that reaches 2000Pa, no dirt or dust will remain on the surface after the robot is done vacuuming the floors. This particular model features a 5020 mAh battery that enables the unit to vacuum your house for up to 150 minutes without interruptions from one single charge.
Great for Dry and Wet Vacuuming
Additional means of controls include a mobile app through which you can adjust the various cleaning modes of the vacuum and set the needed area for future vacuuming. The only issue we had with this particular Roborock model is that it can get a bit noisy when the turbo vacuuming mode is engaged. This happens after the dust cup gets filled with dirt particles and the machine has to increase the suction power.
Noise levels aside, let’s take a closer look at the wet cleaning capabilities of the vacuum. The S-501-01 includes a water tank and two mop cloths that can be machine washed once they get dirty. When utilized in the mopping mode, you can adjust the no-go zone of the vacuum so it won’t drive over carpets or other surfaces that don’t require wet cleaning.
The wheels and clearance of the bot vacuum enable it to cross obstacles no higher than 0.7 inches so it is better equipped for cleaning hard floors rather than big rugs. Alternatively, the vacuum can automatically engage the turbo mode that increases the suction power when cleaning regular carpets that don’t exceed the clearance limit.
Although the S501-01 cannot be called a quiet vacuum, its effectiveness surely outweighs this small inconvenience by providing the user with clean floors each time it’s used. Smart and reliable, it makes all the difference when it comes down to intelligent vacuuming.

When it comes down to the autonomy of the unit, it has a 5200 mAh battery that can offer up to 2.5 hours of continuous vacuuming, which is quite surprising as for the standard battery package from Roborock.
Silent and Efficient
The vacuum operates in almost complete silence, thanks to its great design that muffles the sound of the electrical engine that can deliver up to 2000 Pa of suction power. This allows the vacuum to suck the dirt at full power while maintaining a low noise level at all times. The dustbin, on the other hand, makes it possible for the vacuum to clean areas of up to 1300 square feet from a single battery charge in one go before it needs to be emptied.
What is more, the cleaner comes equipped with a washable air filter that can be detached and cleaned in a matter of minutes. This subtle, yet highly important feature doesn’t let the dust particles escape from the bin, and as a result, the air in your house will become a tad bit cleaner as well.
Furthermore, thanks to the integration of a 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi sensor, the vacuum is capable of finding the docking station without breaking a sweat. This makes it easy to leave the unit cleaning your house while you are absent and ensures that your hard floors will remain clean at all times.
If you need the vacuum to avoid certain areas (while mopping, for example) you can set up the cleaning path and forbidden zones for it using the Mi mobile app that is available for both Android and iOS devices.
In the end, if you need a good Roborock vacuum cleaner for a small house or an apartment, then E35 will be a great option, thanks to its good navigation capabilities and exceptional suction power.

What Is a Roborock Robotic Vacuum?
Robotic vacuums have come a long way since their inception and nowadays, they can finally boast high-tech features and sophisticated navigational sensors, on top of the excellent cleaning capabilities, of course.
The Roborock vacuums have all of the above but remain more accessible to regular customers. Thanks to the affordable pricing, by opting for Roborock you are getting the full package without actually breaking the bank.
Light and quite smart, the vacuums from Roborock are ideal for small and medium-sized houses or apartments. Moreover, their superior software allows customizing the cleaning profiles on a whim, which makes them much more convenient to use. Thanks to the handy mobile application you can choose which rooms the vacuum should clean, what parts of hard floors to avoid, and where it is better to use a built-in mop instead of just picking up dust.
If you need something that can pick the garbage from your lawn we also recommend taking a glance at the top leaf vacuum models out there. For more thorough cleanups it is a good idea to get a cordless vacuum that can reach spots your robo-helper has missed.
What Features to Compare
Even though there are quite a few different Roborock models available on the market they serve more purposes than one could imagine. In order to help you pick the right one for your house or apartment, we have broken down the core features of all Roborock vacuums in a shortlist.
Controls and Customization
While some robotic vacuums come equipped with remote controllers, it is important to have an additional means of control over the cleaning unit. This may include various mobile applications that interact with vacuums via wireless connection protocols. This implies that your house already features a WiFi network or, alternatively, that your mobile device features a Bluetooth function. The latter will be convenient to use if your home Wi-Fi network doesn’t work at all times.
Autonomy Features
The ability of the robotic vacuums to perform the whole-house cleaning comes a long way but to do so they need to be equipped with high-capacity batteries. A regular 5020 mAh Li-Ion battery enables the vacuum to clean areas of up to 4000 square feet, while the 2000 mAh batteries are designed for smaller areas of up to 1500 square feet.
Navigational Capabilities
While similar products from other producers tend to clean the floors in random, mostly chaotic patterns, vacuums from Roborock have a sophisticated guidance system that allows them to utilize the given cleaning space in the most effective way possible.
This is achieved, thanks to the array of sensors each robotic vacuum is equipped with. These may include laser sensors to determine the distance from obstacles, optical sensors for better route navigation, as well as Bluetooth sensors needed by the vacuum for finding its location within your house and distance from the docking station (if it comes equipped with it).
Additional features may include Single Room mode for intensive cleanings of single rooms, Edge Mode designed for cleaning along the walls and obstacles, Spot Cleaning for occasional messes that tend to occur and Automatic Mode that allows the vacuum to clean your house without your involvement.
Cleaning Efficiency
While the majority of robotic vacuums have only one rolling brush, the Roborock devices provide the user with vacuum and mop capabilities in one package, which makes them more versatile in the long run.
To add more, the Roborock vacuums also have removable air filters that can be washed once they get too dirty. This feature provides a lot of health benefits since vacuum doesn’t let the dust particles get into the air while it cleans the floor.
The little spinning brushes underneath the vacuum itself also help in gathering the dust and throwing it directly under the brush so the device can pick it up right away. This feature enables the vacuum to gather dust from the sides without actually driving over the dirt pile.
Did you know?
How Does a Robotic Vacuum Navigate Your House?
Just a few years ago robotic vacuums had a hard time navigating even the simplest environments, let alone finding their docking station to recharge the built-in batteries in time. Fortunately, you don’t have to break a bank to get a vacuuming bot that is capable not only of cleaning the floors properly but also of taking care of itself when the batteries are running low on charge.
Now, when your robo-cleaner is beeping about low batteries, it will conveniently find its charge station and stay there until it is needed again. But how exactly these rolling helpers are capable of finding their so-called “home base”?
The answer to this question is simple and complex at the same time. Almost every model today has more than one set of sensors and thanks to the elaborate combination they can perform much better than their past-generation counterparts.
- Obstacle sensors: A regular home for a robotic vacuum is a real obstacle course that it needs to overcome in order to perform its duties - cleaning the house. These sensors are usually located on the bumpers or shock absorbers and consist of laser pointers that can determine the distance from the object to the vacuum itself. The robot vacuums react to obstacles differently, depending on their configuration they can either slow down before them while the other will try to go around to clean the hard floors near the barrier.
- Cliff sensors: The heights are the most dangerous obstacle for the robotic vacuum since even the slightest elevation can obstruct the cleaning process. Moreover, the vacuum can even flip and won’t be able to get back on its wheels without your help. Due to this, the cliff sensors located on the bottom of the vacuum are a required safety precaution.
- Wheel sensors: Almost all robot vacuums utilize light sensors for measuring the wheel rotation. Thanks to this subtle, yet highly important feature the rolling cleaning bots can determine the traveled distance.
- Wall sensors: The wall sensors, as the name suggests, allow the wheeled vacuum to see the walls around it, thanks to both optical and laser sensors placed on the front panels of the device.
The main reason why sophisticated navigational sensors became so widely spread not only in robotic vacuums but in electronic devices in general, is because they take fewer resources to produce than, for example, 10 or 5 years back from now. The addition of both optical and laser sensors allows robotic vacuums to overcome obstacles or to simply avoid them. Moreover, the mapping software of modern robo-vacs allows them to draw a map of your house, which will definitely come in handy for future cleanings.
This makes most of the new high-end models much cheaper than they were. Back in the day, you could only purchase a robo-vacuum for thousands of dollars, while now they are available at only a fraction of the price - all thanks to newer, cheaper technology and ground-breaking innovations in the market of mobile home cleaners.
