Great Combo Cleaner
|Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The new Roomba Combo 10 Max robot with an AutoWash dock is a remarkable product that is a great combo cleaner for mopping and vacuuming the floors. I had my first experience with the brand with a different combo cleaner and when I saw what this one had to offer, I was intrigued. I was impressed with the big AutoWash dock which holds the clean water bin, a dirty water bin, and a vacuum bag compartment. I really like the fact that via the iRobot app you can take advantage of many features with the new model to choose from 3 different modes: mop only, vacuum only, or mop and vacuum simultaneously. The new model had plenty of instructions included and references to use the iRobot app for step-by-step directions to get the combo up and running. The only items that had to be installed after arrival were the ramp for the AutoWash dock and the roller brush that is also a fundamental part of the internal cleaning process for the new model. The great part of the new dock is that it washes and dries the mop pad. It also refills the mopping tank, empties debris into the vacuum bag, and has its own self-cleaning cycle to keep everything running smoothly. I have used the new Roomba Combo 10 many times and it is still collecting data to set up its dirt detective feature which basically tracks the areas of your home that are usually in need of the most cleaning. It can prioritize the cleaning schedule for you once enough data has been collected in the application. I did notice that for the first couple of mapping runs that Roomba Combo 10 was able to identify the areas better as far as whether I had carpet or tile flooring in the map. It made it easier to set up my home map and identify the various rooms so it could know where it was ok to use the mopping feature. I am impressed with the technology in the new Combo and really like how clean my tile floors feel after it mops and cleans them. It has been a noticeable difference from the prior model but the fact that it can mop and vacuum without having to change out the bin on it is more convenient for me. I also like that it takes care of keeping the mop pad clean by washing and drying it so that I do not have to take care of it. This new iRobot Combo 10 Max robot has been a positive addition to keep my home clean and saving me time in the process. I am very happy with the improvements the company made with the new combo and that they provide great product support as well.

Superb cleaning and easy maintenance
|Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I have owned and used many robot vacuums over the years. iRobot seems to be the best working robots that I've used. The Combo 10 Max is replacing my Roomba i6 that I've had for a couple of years now. The i6 will likely be moved upstairs, as it's still a great vacuum. The 10 Max does so many things to improve on the previous experiences I've had with all robot vacuums. From ease of maintenance to the quality of cleaning that it does. - Setup - The initial setup of the 10 Max was pretty painless and straightforward. I would say the only thing that was difficult was the first initial steps. I wasn't quite sure where to start. I think the reason that it was slightly confusing at first was since I already owned an iRobot vacuum. If I didn't, I'm positive the setup process would have guided me better. In my case, when opening the box and scanning the QR code, it opened the iRobot app to get me started, but since I already had a robot setup in the app, I wasn't really walked through the process. I had to sort of figure out how to get the robot and dock setup before I was instructed on how to do so through the app. Again, this was not difficult, and there is a printed manual further in the box that helps get you started. Once I had the dock and robot on the dock, then began the process of adding the robot to the app, the app walked me through the rest of the process, and it was very easy to get up and running. The app will guide you through how to fill the water tank, install the ramp and cleaning roller and removing any stickers that were put in place for shipping purposes. - App - While some of this is technically part of the setup process, I the app itself is excellent. Coming from owning another iRobot product, the features and helpful tips in the app are useful and very welcome without ever feeling overwhelming. As part of the initial setup, you're asked to do a scan of your house for the robot to discover where it will be able to go, and what surfaces it will detect (flooring or carpet). I had a map with my previous robot, but I wanted to create a new one with the Max to see how it would do, and to make sure it was as accurate as possible. The mapping run did an excellent job of finding rooms and the different surface types, whether they be carpet, rugs or flooring. It also did a good job of attempting to name the rooms appropriately. Editing the map afterwards was easy too. Allowing you to more easily name and section off areas you don't want the robot to go to. This room naming is also useful for working with your preferred smart home setup. In my case, I use Google Home and being able to tell the Max to "clean the kitchen" if there is a spill or something is very easy to do, and very useful. The app is also useful for showing what the robot is doing at any given time. You can see what room it is currently in, if it's returning to the dock, charging, or drying the mop. - Cleaning - While all the vacuums I've owned have done a decent job of cleaning, they often would have trouble navigating my house. The previous iRobot that I had did the best job of never getting stuck. The 10 Max takes this even further. Along with the map and the smarts that iRobot has given the Max, the new camera on the front for further obstacle avoidance is a great addition. It will take pictures of obstacles during its cleaning run and ask you if they're temporary obstacles and lets you review any potential items that may hinder its ability to clean. It really helps to further improve the quality of the clean that the robot is able to do. Then, the probably headlining feature of the 10 Max is the mopping. It does an excellent job of mopping the floors and will even take extra time on a spot if it feels like it needs additional cleaning time. I also really like that the mop is stored on the top of the robot when it's not in use. This gives further confidence that it won't track any dirt or anything onto carpet from the mop head. The robot has done an excellent job cleaning our hard wood floors, tile, and carpet throughout our house. In fact, there hasn't been a single issue so far. It vacuums, mops where appropriate, empties the bin, cleans the mop head and does it all without any assistance from me. - The Dock - I thought I'd take a moment to talk about the dock itself too. It is a bit larger than you may expect, but it has a sleek design and looks nice. It has a nice cable management spot on the back, so you can wind up the cord to keep it butted up against the wall without any trouble. It has indicators for clean and dirty water levels, as well as the dust bin. It is easy to identify any maintenance you need to perform. There's a little leather pull strap that is used to open the door to remove the bins as necessary. A couple things of note though, when the vacuum is emptying itself in the bin, it can be fairly loud. It only takes a moment, but it's something to be mindful of. After mopping, the dock will dry the mop head. There will be a continuous humming noise coming from the dock for a while as it dries the mop. It's not overly loud, but if you're close to it, it may be something to be mindful of as well. - Pros - Excellent cleaning capabilities, very easy to maintain and use, great app and smart home features - Cons - The dock is a decent-sized footprint, mop drying takes some time and has an audible humming as it dries

Amazing machine that does it all!
|Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.iRobot Roomba Combo 10 Max Robot + AutoWash Dock Summary: Amazing machine that does it all! Use: I have a four-story townhome. We have a corgi and a miniature schnauzer. It takes a lot of effort to keep the home clean. The dogs tracking dirt, grass, mulch, and all kind of other stuff. We have used many vacuums from large ball swivel types to several lightweight cordless, and also a few other robotic vacuums. The handheld ones are great for deep cleans and spot cleaning, but in order to keep the house the tidiest, we use robots to clean daily. We have chosen iRobot because their technology is great, innovative, and the ecosystem is vast. We deployed the Roomba 10 Max onto our main floor. It sees the most traffic and is where the doggies pen resides. The unit's built-in reservoirs for clean water and wastewater AND the vacuum emptying bin allow the MAX to keep working until the job is done without a need to fill or empty the robot's bin repeatedly. The unit is housed in a garage that protects the robot from being bumped off of the dock. I'm glad someone finally thought of this! We used a combination of a separate iRobot mop and Roomba to clean the main floor before getting the MAX. It was a pain having to change out and emptying bins out in between each and every use. We noticed that if we didn't tell it to continue scheduled cleanings even while "full" that the units would leave rolls of dog hair and other debris. With the MAX, the Roomba can empty in the middle of a job and return to it whenever it needs. The "garage" empty cycle is so effective that the Roomba can run dozens of times before having to replace the waste filter. The empty cycle can be pretty loud, but the time required is short and it is a small price to pay for the convenience. I just schedule cleanings for periods where the noise won't be a concern. Pros: * Capacity. The unit's "garage" reservoirs allow the Roomba to perform several full cleaning jobs without itself needing to be emptied. This makes operating the Roomba even easier than before. * Great Looks. The "garage" is pretty large, but it is also thoughtfully designed! It makes fantastic use of every cubic inch. * Performance. The MAX performs marvelously. The standard features of a side sweeper, double rollers, and spatial sensors work as great as they do on other models. Though it is the mapping and the mechanized mop that lowers and retracts takes this unit to another level. * Mechanized Mop! The mop attachment is much more convenient now. On other models, you have to remove the fabric attachment in between dry and wet runs (I own the iRobot Mop, as well). On the MAX, however, the mop moves down from the top of the unit while mopping and returns to its position when done. The unit even features a drying phase that will dry the mopping pad in between uses. While not exactly quiet, it isn't loud enough to be a bother - but it does take a LOOOOONG time to complete. You can turn this feature off if you want frequent (intra-daily) cleanings. * Setup. Setting up the unit is straight forward. Just download the app and scan the QR code on the label included in the packaging. I did try the proximity setup but found the QR code to be faster. Use the app to map your home and then configure rooms. The unit tries to identify rooms for you. But you can change the labels and demarcations as needed. You can configure schedules to run for all rooms, or specific ones. You can disable each schedule as needed, as well. * Mapping. The mapping functionality is superb. I've posted a picture of our main floor. The camera offers opportunities for you to train your Roomba by helping it identify which objects are permanent, or temporary obstructions. It does a pretty darned good job at identifying obstacles, too. Cons: * Clearance. This is barely a con, but it is worth noting: we have stained wooden trim for our banisters. The bases of the banisters are raised and also stained. The Roomba units run over them, and, over time, they wear at the stain and eventually expose the wood. We went in with stain pens, but if you have a similar setup, you may face a similar issue. I wish the bottom fronts of the unit had some kind of softer material that wouldn't scratch raised surfaces/trim. As far as robot vacuums are concerned, there is no doubt that iRobot are on the high end of the pricing spectrum. But I feel that if you're going to splurge on lifestyle convenience hardware, the Roomba family of vacuums should be one of the things you splurge on. They definitely earn their keep and because their ecosystem is so vast, finding accessories and consumables for them is quite easy. You absolutely get what you pay for.

Incredible next generation floor cleaning
|Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.We have been using robot floor vacuums and mops in our house for the better part of a decade and rely on them to do the dirty work in between running an in-home business with heavy traffic as well as managing our little ones and their friends we commonly refer to as tornadoes. So much, in fact, that we have three robot vacuum and mop combo machines spread throughout separate areas of our house. Unfortunately, our oldest one has been on the fritz and we were in the market for an upgrade that could handle the amount of traffic our house gets on any given day. That’s when we came across the latest iRobot Roomba Combo 10 vacuum and mop with an AutoWash dock that appeared to meet all of our needs in the area we wanted it for which was the highest traffic area. Being that our last couple robot vacuum/mop combos were a couple years old, I was excited to see what the latest technology had to offer for our space that includes mostly hard floor as well as a large area rug. For comparison on our other robot models, to switch between vacuuming and moping, we would have to manually switch between parts for the robot to mop either the hardwood and tile or focus on just vacuuming and, honestly, it’s kind of a hassle to remember to switch them out as well as ensuring the mopping attachment still had liquid available in the small reservoir. With the new iRobot Roomba combo 10, all these issues are no more as there is no need to swap out parts or constantly fill up the cleaning solution reservoir and I will explain why. Setting up the vacuum/mop and auto-wash dock, which was relatively larger than the dock we were used to in our previous robots, was reasonably self-explanatory and the iRobot smartphone application walked me through the process step-by-step including making a few attachments to the robot and dock and filling up the large water reservoir in the dock used for mopping. After the robot and dock were synced with the app and did an update via Wi-Fi, the robot remained in the dock for a full charge in preparation for its initial proprietary mapping which automatically labels room types. The mapping process took about 30 minutes for the area we have the robot located. The robot uses several sensors to map out the walls, doors, chair and table legs, floor type, etc. It was recommended to ensure there was enough light in those areas using open windows and lights, however, the robot also has a built-in headlight on the front which helps with that as well. I was surprised at how much faster the Roomba was in comparison to our other robots and maneuvered efficiently between tight spaces, corners and walls including around chair and table legs which is sometimes a challenge for robots. The only issue we experienced was trying to roll over one of the highchair leg support rails where it would sometimes get stuck and I would have to manually pick it up to continue the job. One of the most impressive features I witnessed was the Roomba’s ability to transform from a vacuum to a mop when going between hard floors and rugs or carpets. The Roomba stops then transforms by moving the mopping pad from the top of the robot to the underneath using a lever style contraption. The Roomba will also ensure the mopping pad is wet before starting to mop so you don’t have one area that isn’t as clean as the rest of the floor. Enabling the SmartScrub option via the iRobot app ensures the areas slated for cleaning get a deeper clean by applying consistent pressure and scrubbing back-and-forth like you would by mopping manually. Using its built-in Dirt Detect technology, the camera on the front of the Roomba can recognize and pinpoint dirt in front of it and ensure it is cleaned properly by making repeated passes before moving on in its clean cycle. After vacuuming and mopping, the AutoWash dock empties the debris from vacuuming into the enclosed bag, washes and dries the mopping pad, empties the dirty water and fills the water reservoir in the robot in preparation for its next cleaning job. After a few cleans, the Roomba predicts what areas need to be cleaned more based on the debris it cleaned up and prioritize those areas in future cleaning. Using the smartphone application, I was able to set a cleaning schedule, customize rooms and areas, as well as tinker with many of the other features the Roomba has to offer. After using the new iRobot Roomba Combo 10 for several days, I was extremely impressed with all the new technology and ability to clean given the amount of traffic we have in our house and would recommend it to anyone in the market for a high-end robot that ensures the job is done right with few issues.

The iRobot with all the bells & whistles
|Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I got my first iRobot Roomba two years ago. It was a game-changer to have this robot/vacuum/mop because of how much time it saved me. Living in a two-story house with a dog and a baby, I decided to get a second iRobot so I didn’t have to move the vacuum/dock up and down the stairs to keep the floors as clean as possible. I kept my eye on the subsequent models iRobot released waiting for just the right one. It wasn’t until I saw the features on the iRobot Roomba Combo 10 Max Robot + AutoWash Dock that I knew my wait was finally over. The features that convinced me were: • 7 days of automatic solution refill is what makes this product stand out from other Roomba models. In the past, my robot would run out of liquid because I chose 2 passes and heavy liquid. I received notifications on the app, but I couldn’t get home to refill it, so the job didn’t get completed. It is great to schedule the cleaning of rooms while everyone is out of the house and not have to worry about running out of cleaning solution. I can refill the solution once a week as well as empty the dirty liquid receptacle. • 60 days of dirt self-emptying in the bin • More power-lifting suction and deeper scrubbing. This is an option to choose on app. I couldn’t believe how much stuff the robot pulled up from my rug in just one pass. • Auto pad washing and drying. The dock has a built-in self-cleaning cycle for the robot. The rest of the features are what I have grown to love and expect from my robot vacuum. There are: • An app to schedule sessions, monitor progress, receive notifications and alerts. • A combo unit that adapts to clean hard floors and low/medium-pile carpet. • The edge-sweeping brush to get particles in the corner and under cabinets or furniture. • Multi-tasking – vacuums and mops simultaneously. Yet it won’t mop the carpet. • SmartScrub – mops back & forth with consistent pressure to eliminate stubborn messes. • Have a puppy? The iRobot purposely avoids pet waste. • With the app, you can personalize your cleaning. You can group specific rooms, create quick favorites, and set your cleaning preferences: the amount of water/cleaner, how many passes. Similar to settings on your cell phone, you can enable a child/pet lock, modify the lights, and locate your unit by having it make a sound. You can set personalized schedules by room and even clean small areas within rooms. • The app will connect with multiple Roomba robots! Here are some tips I want to share with potential buyers: • Only certain cleaning solutions can safely be used with the robot. Look online for a list of compatible solutions to avoid voiding the warrantee. Don’t use bleach-based products. • While the set-up is very simple, watch official online videos for assistance. • It will take about 3 hours to charge up initially. It then takes about an hour for the initial mapping. At that time, it will not clean. The iRobot will accurately identify the carpeted vs hardwood floor areas. You can section off and label the rooms. • On the topic of mapping, I suggest mapping once a month, so the Roomba avoids objects that you permanently added to rooms. It will even notify you about hazards you may want to consider addressing (i.e., cords). • It has voice command and is compatible with Alexa/Google/Siri. • There is a Robot Health that tells you when you need to change the brushes and filter. As a matter of fact, you get some replacements in the box. • In the box, you get a QR code for directions, a quick start/safety guide, and the warranty information. I suggest you go online to download, (print), and read the owner’s guide. There is a lot of valuable information in there. • There is a dedicated support team you can reach for assistance. Yes, that means you can actually talk with a person! When I make a high price tag purchase, I spend considerable time researching the different models before making the final purchase and I encourage everyone to do the same. I feel very confident in saying that anyone purchasing the iRobot Roomba Combo 10 Max Robot + AutoWash Dock would be very pleased with their decision.

Ultimate Robot Vacuum & Mop for Spotless Floors
|Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The iRobot Roomba Combo 10 Max Robot Vacuum and Mop is 'la crème de la crème'. It sits at the top of the automated tools available today that are designed to maintain well swept & mopped floors. This is my 7th robotic vacuum & my 3rd robotic mop. The Roomba Combo 10 is a serious tool that effectively cleans the floors. It makes all prior models seem like toys. The robot weighs 11 pounds & measures 13.3"L X 13.3"W X 3.4"H. The 14.4 Volt Lithium Ion Battery life is 2 Hours. Included with the Combo are: - Mop Pad - Filter - Dirt Disposal Bag - Docking Station INITIAL SETUP: Remove the vacuum & the base from the fully recyclable cardboard shipping container, remove a couple pieces of tape that hold the vacuum securely during shipping. Choose a location, place the base & plug it in. Press the ramp onto the front of the base. Fill the clear container with either water or a floor cleaning liquid (I prefer the blue Bona Hardwood Floor Cleaner). Install the iRobot app on your phone. Follow the instructions to connect to WiFi 2.4 Ghz. MAP YOUR HOUSE: Clear obstacles, such as wires, clutter, etc. from your floors. Open the app on your phone & select "Map it". The robot will go from room to room, discovering your house layout & will produce a whole house map. Next, identify the rooms with labels & move walls as necessary on the map for clarity. BUT HOW DOES IT CLEAN? In a word, AMAZING!! My wife walks barefoot throughout the house (we remove shoes in the house). She immediately noticed the hardwood floors felt smoother than ever after the robot had vacuumed! After it mopped & vacuumed, the floors had a beautiful sheen. You can start the cleaning process by Alexa, Google, or the app. It cleaned the areas I selected (about 80% of the 3200 square foot main floor) in 4 hours (it went back to the charging station after 2 hours & returned to finish). It pulled the dirt collected from the vacuum to the base massive dust collector with a cyclone blower. When finished, it cleaned the mop & air dried it! CONCLUSION: iRobot Roomba Combo 10 Max Robot Vacuum and Mop is a serious cleaning tool that has found its permanent home. Best cleaning tool we own!

"Google clean the kitchen" and it does. I love it.
|Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I love this Roomba Combo 10 Max. It’s not perfect, but it does an excellent job cleaning the floors and the voice integration with Google Assistant actually works smoothly. I can simply say, “Hey Google, clean the kitchen” and in a few minutes here comes the Roomba to sweep and mop it all up. I can even name a few rooms in one command and it’ll do each one I named and stay out of the others. The app allows you to easily make custom cleaning prompts if you’d like, but it’s nice to know that voice commands are pretty much ready to go after you’ve set up the map. The app can seem a little laggy at times, but it’s fairly easy to navigate through and edit your home map for proper room layout, names, and zones. Sometimes I wish it were a little more curious about exploring a room to map it out fully, but if you physically move the robot to an unexplored area it’s good about finding where it is and updating the map for later. The edge and obstacle avoidance sensors work well enough that I tested it out without moving or prepping anything and it was able to get around without needing much assistance outside of getting lost in some new areas. And if you have multiple rooms or levels in your house, the app allows you to save up to 10 different maps, which makes it handy to use for the whole house. You’ll have to physically move it between levels, but it should figure its way around as long as you select the correct map. It’s also quite athletic as it can climb over a 1” floor transition with relative ease, which is a big deal in my house. I’ve tried 4 other robot vacuums and they all struggle to cross over the transition bump into the kitchen/dining room, which makes this the first one I’ve had that can actually reach the whole house. And combined with a mop, my kitchen floors have never been cleaner. The mop works great with just water, which is another huge plus! This Roomba Combo 10 Max does a lot of things right, but one annoying thing is how long and loud it takes to dry the mopping pad after a run. You can thankfully turn it off in the app, but each time it comes back from a cleaning run it cleans and dries the mop head (which is great), but it makes an audible vibrating sound while doing so that takes over an hour to finish. At first I thought it was malfunctioning and shut it off in the app, but I’ve since found out it just takes a long time. If you’re in the market for a cleaning robot that feels like a true cleaning ally, you’ll like this Roomba. It automatically detects carpet/rugs vs hard floors flawlessly and it does an excellent job thoroughly cleaning both surfaces. I love that the mop works great with just plain water and with the automatic cleaning home base you might only have to change the vacuum bag and refill/empty the water tanks maybe once a month. It’s fairly low maintenance after the initial map setup and it’s pretty easy to use overall. It doesn’t allow me to send it to “clean in front of the dishwasher” like I read in one of the ads, but I can send it to a specific room which is good enough for me. I’ve tried 5 different robot vacuums from 3 different leading brands, and this is the first one that has met my vision of having a proper floor cleaning robot. It can scale the 1” transition to clean my kitchen and dining room, vacuums and mops well, can automatically change between mop and vacuum, can avoid obstacles and supposedly pet waste, and responds well to voice commands. I love it. Great job iRobot! CLEANING PERFORMANCE Excellent vacuuming and mopping performance. It’s so convenient having one machine that can do both and it’s genuinely neat to watch it lift and lower the mopping pad when it detects hard floors or carpet. What’s especially thoughtful is that the mop moves to the top of the robot so the wet pad doesn’t touch the ground when vacuuming over carpets and rugs. Judging from the corners of my hallways it does a great job cleaning dust from the edges of the floor and I especially like how “athletic” it is. The 1” high transition between my hallway and kitchen/dining room has proven difficult for most robot vacuums to climb over, but not the Combo 10 Max. It might not make it over on the first try, but it gets there fairly quickly and has never needed help or gotten stuck on it. And because it can climb over this dreaded 1” transition, it’s the first robot vacuum that can actually cover the whole main level of the house by itself. And it even does a good job of mopping the tiled and hardwood floors with just water. No special expensive cleaning solutions needed and that is truly fantastic! The only downside I found with cleaning vs others is that you cannot update the current ongoing cleaning run. If you want to make any changes you’ll have to send it back to the home base and start a new one. It’s a minor detail, but something to note. SETUP I was lazy about setting it up, but for a good reason. We recently finished a kitchen renovation and the house was full of construction dust and random stuff needing to be put away. I figured this would be a good test, because I doubt everyone places the home base 100% as recommended and my floors were in desperate need of a deep clean. After a few initial short exploration runs, I realized that having about 4’ of clear space in front of the home base and decent lighting were crucial for the Roomba to find its way around. It uses VSLAM instead of LiDAR to see and for obstacle avoidance, so it doesn’t do as well in the darkness as LiDAR guided units do, but it still does a good job navigating and mapping the house. I feel like keeping the rooms well lit is more important for the map exploration runs, but if it’s an area that’s already mapped it can find its way through the darkness fine. In terms of mapping, the app automatically detects and labels rooms and editing the map is straightforward. If there’s a part of the room that it seems to avoid mapping, simply physically move the vacuum to the location and it’ll explore it and automatically update the map when it goes back to the base. Thankfully this is an easy process, because as we’ve moved things back into the kitchen, the floor layout has changed significantly each day and it has done a good job of keeping up with it. We have stairs, a foyer edge to fall off, cables, random obstacles all throughout the house, and I have not picked up, blocked off, or moved anything. The Combo 10 Max successfully navigates around it all and simply goes back to its room when it’s done. I wish they made a drone to dust my cabinets. PROS - Excellent vacuum and mop performance - Mop works great with just water - Can scale 1” floor transition bump - Self emptying and cleaning base station are very convenient - Works great with Google Assistant voice command - Easy to setup cleaning parameters and favorites - Detects carpet vs hard floors well - Mop lifts to top of robot so rugs/carpet do not get wet - Obstacle and ledge avoidance works well - Long battery life - Automatically detects and labels new rooms decently - Easy to modify and setup map - Easy to expand map areas - Can store up to 10 different maps - Cleans in a pattern.. somewhat - Love saying, “Hey Google, clean the kitchen” and seeing it show up - Fairly low maintenance CONS - Pad drying makes a vibrating noise and takes a really long time - Bumps into walls/objects a little forcefully - VSLAM instead of LiDAR - Cannot modify ongoing cleaning mission - Does not live track robot location on a visual map - Basic looks - Marketing says I can specify “clean in front of dishwasher” but I don’t see the ability yet

Give it a try
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Never had a robot vacuum/mop before. But after a week of use on hardwood and tile on an open floor plan I’m very happy with the purchase. I think the sale price is reasonable for the mop/vacuum. I would’ve been disappointed with full retail; because that’s a lot of money for a lot of black plastic. I have the settings on most power and water, plus a double pass. It’s reasonably quiet but can take a bit of time. There are the occasional hiccups, but at least I can do other stuff while it’s working. I watched some reviews after purchasing, but before using it which made me ponder returning it. However, I’m glad I gave it a chance and will keep using it daily. The dock is kind of ugly (all of them are) but hopefully I can find some type of cabinet for it. Saves quite a bit of time. I do have short coated dogs and it does a great job vacuuming hair.

Definitely helps out with having a family. If I could I'd buy 2 but, upstairs will have to wait! Appreciate Busy Buy for having it available when needed it. Thank you!

No more dust bunnies
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I was a little skeptical about buying this model since I had issues with the previous iRobot I had. I’m really glad I took a chance on this purchase, I have 3 cats and 3 dogs who constantly shed this model has really good suction power and so far, it hasn’t gotten stuck, it doesn't have any issues docking on the base., and the transition between carpet, hardwood, and tile are seamless. The mopping power isn’t amazing but it does keep my floors tidy until I can give the floors a good scrub. I am VERY happy with my purchase.

iRobot Roomba Combo 10 Max
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is the third Roomba I have purchased, and they do not disappoint. I have it set up on a schedule to vacuum and mop twice a week, and only vacuum once a week. I purchased the floor cleaner that is recommended for it, and also the only one that keeps warranty intact. So far a great purchase!

3 times faster that our old I6 robot!!!
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Truly a step up from the antiquated I6 it replaced. This one both vacuums and mops the entire house in 2.5 hours where as the I6 was over 7 hours and it just vacuumed. It doesn't get stuck and is smart about avoiding most items. Got this on sale ($800) and at that price point it's a good value. Depending on your square footage your mileage may vary, but this thing is REALLY good!
