The S6 Master Series

Why get the Master series?
- Large water tanks put pressure on the floor for the best performance

- Slim when flat without losing performance
The Master series is a good-looking lineup with the Artist aesthetics and a lower price tag.
For big homes
Compared to the other two, the Master modification lasts longer, has bigger water tanks, the newest design with a thumb display, and is shorter when flat, which helps it go under most furniture.
Summing up
The i6 Stretch is an affordable model that lacks some things, yet comes with a good self-cleaning system, and overall is a good buy for the price.
Editor's choice: Floor ONE S6 Master
The S6 Master is a new series that has many Artists' bells and whistles, a good-looking device with premium features and great performance.
