Can the Roborock S5 Max clean without a water tank?

No, the Roborock S5 Max is designed to work with both a dustbin and a water tank. It features a 2-in-1 dustbin and water tank that allows it to vacuum and mop floors at the same time. The water tank provides a steady stream of water to the mop pad while the robot is in operation, which helps to remove stubborn dirt and grime. If you don't want to use the mopping feature, you can simply remove the water tank and attach the dustbin to the robot. This will allow the robot to function as a traditional vacuum cleaner, without the added weight and complexity of the water tank.

No, the Roborock S5 Max cannot clean without a water tank. The water tank is necessary for the mopping function, which is one of the main features of the S5 Max. Without the water tank, the S5 Max will only be able to vacuum your floors.

If you only want to vacuum your floors, you can set the S5 Max to "Vacuum only" mode in the Roborock app. This will prevent the S5 Max from using the mopping function and will only use the vacuum cleaner to clean your floors.

If you want to use the S5 Max to mop your floors, you will need to fill the water tank and attach the mopping pad. The S5 Max will then use the water tank to dispense water onto the floor as it mops. You can adjust the water flow in the Roborock app.

The S5 Max is a great robot vacuum for both vacuuming and mopping. If you are looking for a robot vacuum that can do both, the S5 Max is a great option.
