Excellent mop/vac combo with some connectivity hur
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I really wanted to love the iRobot Roomba Combo 10 Max. On the positive side, the vacuum and mop combo is fantastic—having one machine handle both surfaces is a huge time-saver, and the floors look great when it's finished. However, the "automation" part falls short. I find myself having to check the app every couple of minutes to troubleshoot or "help" it get back on track. It’s a powerful cleaner, but be prepared to stay close by while it’s running.

Super easy to use
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Super easy to set up and get going. I love that you can set routines so that it will vacuum or vacuum and mop at certain times. One thing though is that it gets hung up on rugs if you have them. Mine kept getting stuck and needing help.

My new best friend.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received this iRobot/Roomba Plus 505 Combo Robot+Auto Wash Dock from Influencer to try for my honest review. This iRobot Roomba Plus was extremely easy to set up and start using. The mapping of the house was a little difficult and took a couple of tries to get all the areas, but I do have to say, it was so smart that seen all the obstacles and stairs while it was mapping out my house. My Roomba picks up all the dirt and goes back to the dock to empty. This Roomba also washes my floor flawlessly with special pads on the bottom of the Roomba. It also has 2 containers, one that holds the water and solution, and the other one that is used to empty the dirty water. The battery life last a very long time, and notifies me when it is low. The best part is the App. that I downloaded I can use my Roomba at anytime and anywhere. The App also informs me of any issues or replacements that I need. I love my iRobot Roomba Plus, it cuts my cleaning in half, and I highly recommend this Roomba to minimize your cleaning time.

Great Roomba for Pet Parents!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We have enjoyed having this new Roomba. It does a wonderful job getting all the dog hair, especially since we have a basset and beagle! The app was super easy to use, and I loved the I could turn it on from work 25 miles away! The battery lasts the whole house while it cleans, and I honestly think it super cool hearing it empty in the bin. It's kinda cathartic, lol. Great new Roomba product!

Well color me surprised!!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] if you’re looking for convenience, ease of use, and overall satisfaction of your floors, look no further. i love this thing and i originally was a hater! could you believe it?!!! for context, i already have a regular vacuum at home and thought it would be enough but sometimes vacuuming the whole house is just one less thing on the to do list that you don’t need to do. i have it scheduled to make its round daily on the whole house and it keeps the house clean! it knows when it needs to recharge so it goes back to its post to power up again. it picks up everything - we see it in the dust bin. although it is loud, if you run it when you’re not home it’s not really an issue. i am a believer now and i can’t recommend it enough. i run it frequently and have not noticed any leaks or issues. it’s super solid!

Worth the money!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We bought a cheap robo-vacuum when we moved into our home, but it was never great at getting around tight spots, in corners, or doing mopping. I usually had to go around and manually mop and vacuum some spots after it was done. This iRobot Roomba is so, so much better. It actually gets into corners and around chair legs, and it does a great job at mopping (look at that gross mop water! That’s what it got off our floors after just a couple days of normal life). I like that you can customize a lot in the app, like if I just want it to mop the bathroom and vacuum the kitchen, I can set it to do that. It also does a great job at switching between mopping and vacuuming, like when it goes between the floor and our rugs. It’s a little bit slower than my old vacuum but I think that’s because it goes over spots multiple times to make sure it got everything. And it hasn’t gotten stuck on anything yet, which was a huge inconvenience with our old vacuum. We run the Roomba at night once a week and our floors have never looked better!

The upgrade you need
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love my iRobot roomba 505. It vacuums and mops beautifully. You first set up the mapping so it knows and recognizes your home and can navigate. The app gives you usage and maintenance information so you know when you need new supplies. The dustbin empties and it’s the smartest vacuum mop. obsessed.

Just okay
I use the product to vacuum and mop a large living area and kitchen with both hard floors and rugs. The mopping function is okay, but the unit returns to base quite often to wet the mop pads. The dock is in the living area and the unit is very noisy when cleaning the pads. The vacuum function is weak with only one roller and moderate suction. I have two dogs and the small dust bin would rapidly fill up if it did a better job vacuuming. The mapping function works well. The battery only lasts less than 2 hours and takes a couple of hours to recharge. It takes several recharges to complete the job. Overall it is helpful in keeping the rooms clean, but I would not recommend this model.

Works great!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Enjoying it so far! We have a mixture of carpet, hardwood, and laminate flooring and it’s able to switch between surfaces without any issue. Setup was a breeze and it’s incredibly quiet compared to a standard vacuum. We also have a few thin rugs and runners throughout the house and they cause no issue. Very happy with the roomba.

Broke rapidly with no support
Got this because me and my partner are disabled and find vacuuming and mopping hard, when it worked it would frequently be held up by small bumps in our rug and fail to clean half the map and it constantly be thwarted by one of our cats, about six months ago it's stopped connecting properly to the app, display correct charge data and general responsiveness. We moved house recently and wiped the map data but found that the robot will no longer connect to the cloud, respond to the app, display accurate charging data on the machine itself and on the app and will, once in a blue moon, decide to drive off the dock and spin around in circles; one time I watched it true to drive up the dock the wrong way. I've tried reboots, factory resets, different wifis, different distances from the router, cleaning all the contacts and cameras and nothing's worked, customer support is extremely difficult to contact without calling and the virtual assistances are entirely useless, I've essentially been stuck with a several hundred pound hunk of plastic so buyer beware I guess, if something slightly out of the ordinary happens good luck getting your robot back

Wonderful mop, vacuum needs improvement
The good: The mopping part of this roomba shocked me. It does a very good job of removing dirt. Does not leave streaks. Transitions well between different flooring- I have tile, LVP, and carpet for reference. I love that it refills itself with water and empties itself. I have it mop twice a week and I typically have to empty and refill the base about once a week. When I empty the base the dirty water is brown!! I love how easy the app is to use. The mapping is very accurate. It rarely ever gets stuck on anything, compared to my old roomba which I would have to rescue almost every time it ran. It does a great job of navigating obstacles. It actually goes in between my dining room chairs and gets under the table, which I like. The bad: the vacuum part of the roomba is just not up to par. It has good suction power but it doesn't get into the nooks and crannies like I need it to and it misses so much. One of the main reasons I wanted this roomba is because my dog carries dog food to other parts of the house and drops it. Instead of picking it up, the roomba just flings it everywhere. So instead of having one or two areas with a small pile of dog food I now have singular kibbles all over the house. It also leaves a trail of dirt along the edges of all of my rugs on my LVP flooring. I still have to go behind it and sweep almost daily to get all that it missed. My old roomba was vacuum only and did not have this issue so it may just be this model.

Awesome!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Love! Battery life is incredible, it thoroughly cleans, features are top notch and so easy to navigate in the app. Automatically empties, and completes one more task on my list

Does a great job cleaning!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This has been a fantastic addition to our cleaning routine. The roomba is pretty quiet so it can run at night while we are sleeping. The mapping is pretty accurate and adaptive as things in the room change. We have been thrilled with the mopping function and find that as long as the rugs it goes over aren’t too high pile, the shift between mopping and vacuuming is pretty seamless. I’ve found that running it while we are out or asleep is best because the cycle takes quite a while however with the self empty feature I don’t mind. The deep clean setting has been my favorite and I find it does a pretty good job. Any detail work needs to be done by hand but it cleans the general area pretty well and doesn’t seem to get caught up on obstacles. Set up was easy and the app is pretty easy to use. I did find it occasionally has some connection issues but it’s not often and is usually remedied by restarting the app.

I like
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] As a mom of 2, I do love being able to keep my house clean without having to pull out the vacuum 5 times a day. I absolutely love the vacuum and mop capabilities. I also commend the robot map capabilities. Now let’s get into the cons, it is pretty loud. You have to constantly empty/fill the tanks. It also takes a couple of passes to get everything up. But not having to pull out a mop or vacuum for every mess, makes it worth it.

iRobot helps me big time…
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This bad boy is amazing. As a busy mom of two boys and always on the go this IRobot helps me stay on top of cleaning my floors and rug in living room. I was worried that it would not like my fuzzy rug in the living room but it did amazing getting up small things and cleaned as it went. It was quiet and the set up was not bad. I would say it is worth it. If you need a little help throughout the day. I cannot wait to see what great things this iRobot will do to help make my life easier.

Disappointing Performance – Not Designed for Homes With Pets
I purchased the Roomba Plus 505 Combo with the AutoWash dock expecting a mostly hands-off cleaning experience. Unfortunately, it has not lived up to that expectation, especially in a home with two dogs that shed regularly. The biggest issue is that the robot does not detect when its internal bin becomes full during cleaning. Instead of returning to the dock to empty the bin and then resuming the job, it simply keeps running. As a result, it starts pushing hair around, skipping debris, and sometimes dropping clumps of hair behind it once the bin or brush area becomes overloaded. This defeats the purpose of having an automated vacuum. I also found the scheduling options in the app to be limited. You cannot schedule multiple cleaning runs close together (for example, 8:30 and 8:45), which would have helped manage pet hair buildup in high-traffic areas like hallways. Another limitation is the single-roller brush design. With heavy pet hair, a dual-roller system would likely perform much better. Even with a new roller installed, the vacuum struggles with larger amounts of dog hair and often leaves piles behind. For homes without pets or with minimal debris, this machine might work fine as a maintenance cleaner. However, for households with multiple shedding dogs, it simply doesn't handle the volume of hair effectively and requires more manual intervention than expected. Given the price and the promise of automation, I expected a system that could manage debris more intelligently, such as detecting a full bin, returning to empty, and resuming cleaning automatically. Unfortunately, this model does not offer that level of functionality. Overall, I would not recommend this vacuum for pet owners looking for a truly hands-off cleaning solution.

I love this product!!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] First I just want to say I LOVEEEEE this vacuum! It performs well and I love the app features! I’ve been turning it on while at work so when I get home I can have freshly vacuumed and mopped floors! There’s a reservoir for clean water in a reservoir for dirty water. I absolutely love this feature because it will let you know when both need to be replaced. Now some cons. This vacuum is loud! When it is emptying the dust pan and cleaning the mop pad, it makes an extremely loud noise! We have it downstairs and I can hear it all the way upstairs. I’ve made the mistake of running it at night and it kept the entire house up. Another con is the battery life. During a full cycle, it often has to go back to the base to recharge. Last con, the deep clean cycle. This is by far the worst con. It took 18 hours to deep clean 3 room!!!! It kept dying and needing to be recharged every 20 minutes. I haven’t used that setting since.
