AuraX R5 Max Review

The R5 Max is AuraX's flagship self-emptying robot vacuum. We ran it daily for two weeks against pet hair, hardwood, and low-pile carpet to see if it earns its #1 spot in our rankings.

Our take

[Write 2-3 genuine paragraphs here: what surprised you, how it compared to the previous model, what a real week of use looked like. Google's ranking systems specifically look for first-hand detail here — specific rooms, specific problems, specific numbers — not generic praise.]

What we liked

  • Picked up 96% of test debris on hardwood in one pass
  • Self-empty base is noticeably quieter than the previous R4
  • App mapping finished our 900 sq ft floor in 11 minutes

What we didn't like

  • Struggles with cords and cables — got stuck twice in testing
  • Dustbin bags are proprietary and cost more than generic bags
  • No mop function, unlike the step-up R5 Max+
