360 S6 Pro: A powerful robot vacuum cleaner that stores up to 10 cleaning maps
Today's review is dedicated to the new product – the 360 S6 Pro robot vacuum cleaner. It's important to be clear here, as the previous model has the same name. S7 and has been on sale since last year.
What new features does the new 360 S6 Pro robot have compared to the S7?
- increased suction force (2200 Pa versus 2000 Pa);
- intelligent water tank with control of water flow to the napkin;
- The kit includes disposable wipes;
- higher capacity battery (5200 mAh versus 3200 mAh);
- longer operating time (almost 3 hours versus 2 hours).
Further in the review we will consider in more detail the characteristics of the robot vacuum cleaner and its features.
Equipment
The 360 S6 Pro package contains the following components:
- The robot itself.
- Charging station.
- Power adapter.
- Remote control.
- Water tank.
- Napkins.
- Cleaning tool.
- Operating instructions.
Appearance
The 360 S6 Pro robot vacuum cleaner is made of high-quality matte white plastic that resists fingerprints and smudges. The device's round shape extends beyond the body, revealing only a lidar sensor that allows for precise navigation and room mapping.
The design is very similar to the line of robots from the well-known company Roborock (Xiaomi). However, this model is easily distinguished by the 360 logo on the top panel.
The S6 Pro's dimensions are not the smallest among similar devices: 350 x 350 x 100 millimeters. The robot weighs 3.9 kilograms. On the top panel of the robot vacuum, in addition to the turret and logo, are two mechanical control buttons: on/off and direction to the docking station. The main part of the top panel is occupied by the dust bin compartment lid.

A 360 degree view of the S6 Pro's side panel reveals a bumper and obstacle avoidance sensors at the front, and magnetic charging ports and ventilation holes at the rear.
Side view
The back of the robot vacuum cleaner features two large side wheels, a central wheel, a main turbo brush, and a side brush. A platform with a damp cloth is attached to the bottom of the 360 S6 Pro.

Functional capabilities
The robot vacuum cleaner is equipped with a lidar (laser distance sensor) and SLAM Precision V5.0 and Mapping 6.0 algorithms, allowing it to create precise maps of rooms based on the data collected, even when they are located on different floors. Up to 10 maps can be stored. It calculates the most optimal routes and selects effective cleaning methods in real time thanks to a powerful built-in processor. Additionally, the 360 S6 Pro robot vacuum cleaner uses 24 ultrasonic sensors to help it navigate its surroundings and avoid collisions with obstacles and falls down stairs.
The robot supports the following operating modes: dry cleaning, wet cleaning, and combined dry and wet cleaning. These modes are available in the 360Smart mobile app for iOS and Android. You can also adjust the amount of liquid supplied to the cleaning cloth. The water tank features a three-level adjustable cleaning cloth wetting system to prevent puddles of water from leaving behind on the floor.
Cleaning technology
Further in the review, we will consider what additional functions are available in the 360 S6 Pro robot vacuum cleaner:
- cleaning one specified room;
- zoning of premises: combining and dividing rooms;
- setting up the room cleaning sequence;
- establishment of restricted areas, including for washing floors;
- spot cleaning;
- deep (improved) cleaning;
- Setting up a cleaning schedule.
In addition, there is manual control via remote control.
One of the robot vacuum cleaner's key improvements is, without a doubt, its increased suction power of 2200 Pa. Furthermore, the device can automatically adjust its suction power to suit the specific surface being cleaned, whether it's parquet, laminate, tile, linoleum, or carpet. Incidentally, it automatically increases suction power on carpets. It's also important to note that the 360 S6 Pro handles not only fine dust but also grains, fur, hair, and pet food.

Advantages and disadvantages
To sum it up, let's highlight the main positive and negative aspects of the 360 S6 Pro.
Pros:
- Intelligent navigation, powerful processor.
- Zoning of premises into rooms.
- Save multiple cleaning plans.
- Building a map of the premises.
- Wet cleaning (separately and together with dry cleaning).
- Regulation of suction power and water supply to the cloth.
- Good build quality.
- High capacity lithium-ion battery.
- High suction power.
- Good cross-country ability.
- Wide functionality.
- Setting up a schedule.
- Control not only from a smartphone, but also from a remote control.
- Increased power on carpets.
No significant shortcomings were found with the robot. At the time of writing, the model costs approximately $450. This is more expensive than similar Xiaomi models, but certain features and increased suction power make it more attractive compared to its competitors. So, if you're looking for an advanced robot vacuum cleaner with all the latest features, I recommend considering this model.
