Our Verdict

Roborock S6

Xiaomi Mi Robot Vacuum

The Roborock S6 is better than the Xiaomi Mi Robot. The Roborock is better built, has an automatic surface-type adjustment feature, maneuvers itself around obstacles with less difficulty, and has more advanced automation capabilities, including support for virtual boundary markers and scheduling for individual room cleaning sessions. It also performs better on bare floors and can clear debris on high-pile carpets. Meanwhile, the Xiaomi performs a little better on low-pile carpets.
