How do I remove this?
Nice I didn’t know the new iRobot app had that. When my 705 combo comes in I’m definitely going to use the live activities feature. The legacy iRobot app dosnt have that

To combo or not to combo?
Have 705 max combo. Love it. Set it up in the app, make sure your mapping run has zero obstacles, move furniture out of the way so it can map correctly, set up your automations to vacuum 3 days a week and mop 2 days a week in the middle of the night then LEAVE IT ALONE. Other than cleaning the robot

Are the new Roombas better
Have upgraded from s9 to Max 705, and overall navigation is a massive improvement. Can’t stand the “recalibrating location to continue cleaning” that happens every time you start the bot using the buttons on bot - like, just start cleaning the area I placed you in already and figure out where you ar

max 10 combo vs 705 combo
Max 10 Combo kept running over pet mess, getting stuck on a mat, mopped very poorly (left water streaks everywhere), and ultimately stopped docking. It would just sit right in front of the docking station and if I put it back in, it would come out on it's own and sit there until the battery died. I

People who upgraded J9+ to 705 max - which one do you recommend?
I had the 705. To start with the good: it cleaned great imo. I have a long-haired dog. Doesn't shed, but takes a lot of mud, sand and leaves into the house. Roomba sucked it all up. mopping was good too. It does leave lines/streaks on the floor though (I have PVC flooring), but that doesn't bother m

Brand new 705 Max Combo won't connect to the app
After hours of messing with my Max 705 trying to get it to connect...turns out if you have a WiFi password with any special characters, it will not connect. I changed my WiFi password and removed a comma, and it immediately connected. The problem, though, is that I have 70+ devices connected to my W

Well, I upgraded after trying to fix my i8
I set mine up to return after every routine but after watching it do it's largest routine it still pauses to empty the bin, not that I care as it adds only a few seconds overall. But the bin in the base also has no full sensor so this little guy kept trying to empty itself into a full dust bag of pe

Max 10 vs 505 combo
It’s say it’s better in most aspects but vacuuming wise it might be a bit worse. Mopping is miles ahead and the OS and navigation too. If you’re looking for the best wait for the Max 705 Combo which is should be great at navigation, improved vacuuming (like the 705 Vac and previous Roombas but more

I'm looking to buy 705 Combo, is there anything I need to know?
I just replaced my i7+ & Bravva Jet M6 with the 705 Combo and I have been fairly impressed with it so far. We have all hardwood floors and the vac & mop at the same time has worked out great. The only downside I have found is the new Roomba Home app is horrible compared to the iRobot Classic App it'

Disappointed with Roomba Max 705 Combo – Wet Spill Detection Fails Miserably
Thanks for the idea. Unfortunately, it failed to react to a fairly large "spill" consisting of honey mustard dressing on the first run and coffee creamer on the second run. The first run was done in vac + mop "smart clean" mode and the second was vac + mop with high liquid, high suction, and smart s
