For those that just missed the Catch deal:
Kogan have the Roborock S5 Max in white available for the same price $561 - AU stock as well
If you haven't used your Kogan FIRST trial before, you can get free delivery.
You know the drill - first post. Roast me.
From original post (raisinberry777) -
Seems to be considered one of the best of the robot vacuum cleaners going around right now. Thought it was time to take the plunge.

'Kogan FIRST' is their version of 'Amazon Prime', paid subscription (with an initial fee trial) that comes with a few perks like free delivery on certain products. Link for more details: https://www.kogan.com/au/kogan-first/
Hence this deal is normally costs $561 + delivery fee, or $561 + free delivery if you are a 'Kogan FIRST' subscriber
Best deal OP. Was embarrassed to see Catch offer expired. Meanwhile you posted this.
Kudos!!
Don't forget to use your CommBank $30 cashback if you haven't already.
Kogan also one sold by Tech Warehouse for $549. Anyone know how warranty would work?
Edit* Tech Warehouse sells the international version. Not sure what the difference is…
Nice, I got so close with the catch one, thanks dude!
Thanks OP!
Thanks bought one
Phew. Took too much time hunting down my catch voucher and missed it.
Thanks so much OP! I was really annoyed missing the catch deal. Again - ty!
Got one, thanks for sharing.
Thanks Op. Got one. I was wondering on the Ozbargained Catch website trying my luck despite the deal being expired
Got one thanks
Thanks!
Thanks OP - snagged one this time.
what is difference between S5 (i bought 2 years ago) and S5 Max
Max
max about what ?
Grabbed it thanks OP
Was killing myself over missing the catch deal, then saw this. Grabbed one, thanks OP!
OMG thanks for spotting. Same - just missed catch deal and now got this plus the Commbank $30 offer so awesome deal!
S6 Pure at $599 + shipping https://www.kogan.com/au/buy/roborock-s6-pure-robotic-vacuum…
Which is better?
S5 max.
Thanks OP! Got one
Thanks OP. Got myself one this time.
749 now
S5 max or Ecovacs 950?
this. or from what i can gather, the ecovacs 920 isnt that much different to the 950, so that might be the sweet spot on price.
When I added to cart it was 561 by the time I tried to finalise the price went up 749.
Try dick smith
All AU versions back to normal price but you can still get the international versions for this price and lower

What is the difference between the AU vs International version?
Had the same question. Is it just the plug or something else? Some app functions not available maybe.
I was just reading up on this too.
Might need an adapter.
And apparently something to do with the app settings.
Other than that no difference.
Ps. Anyone know about warranty?
is this all with mop function? title doesn't say for s5 MAX
yes
Thanks for this. From my research the S5 seems to performs slightly better, so I have decided to stick with the "older model"
heard from a few other postings that all the kogan catch orders will be cancelled due to price error.
Which other postings?
There are some comments on the flora living post for the Xiaomi s5 max
its not a marketplace sale. its sold by Kogan.com
I tried to confirm with Kogan that the order will be fulfilled and shipped at the price paid. However I just received a generic response to say there may be a delay in shipping due to lots of orders. Didn’t confirm or deny whether the price will be honored.
Can roborock actually stop Kogan, Catch and Dick Smith from fulfilling those orders though?
Just received an email from Kogan to say the S5 has been shipped.😁
Ditto
Ditto x2
Ditto x3 excited!
And email from AusPost that its on its way
@AlphaSquid1604: Nooo not Toll! I can look forward to having to pick it up from the depot after the driver pretends they tried to deliver it!
Dispatched.
Carrier: Toll IPEC
great news! looks like we are getting it!
Glad to hear the above comments. For now my order is showing
TRANSMITTED TO WAREHOUSE
We're running slightly behind but you can expect to hear from us soon!
Update after 4 business days :
The status changed to "Being Picked in Warehouse" from original "Transmitted to Warehouse". Not sure when they are going to despatch. Hopefully it is not "Out of stock" and we go back in circles.
I am getting the same thing with the 2 statuses changing around. How many people have received their orders ? When will Kogan fulfil the ones in this boat ?
Exchanged few emails with Kogan on the delivery. Finally it says Dispatched today (after about 10 days). Coming via Toll from Melbourne warehouse, hopefully will arrive in next 2-3 days Western Sydney.
I have it in my hands, AU plug, S5 Max.
Thankyou Gearbite for the pricing error and thankyou Kogan for matching it!
Was it a pricing error or blackfriday deal though
We'll probably never know, but the speculation was pricing, that's why everyone was worried about cancellation.
That was quick for you!
My one based on tracking, hasn't even left the warehouse.
Got mine today. Vacuum upstairs in carpet mode and downstairs with mop. Doesn't get stuck in carpet like my gen 1 Xiaomi. And love being able to have two maps
Anyone else still havent received this from this Sale? Or am I the Lucky(UN) one?
Hi, what does "Free with First" mean? Thanks
