iRobot trying to replace £1.5k vacuum with £699 model 🤔
It's a huge downgrade. Get them to replace it with the upcoming Roomba Max 705 Combo.

Max 705 Combo: $900. How is it?
I just bought the 705 Max (NOT Combo) for $749. I like it, it’s my 11th Roomba and the best one so far. I’ve never wanted a mop.

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

Absolutely push with this. 505 Combo is objectively a downgrade - heck, even the Max 705 Combo may be considered a downgrade in some ways, but it can be argued it's the actual current flagship of iRobot that replaces the Combo 10 Max (LMAO at how they have swapped "Max" and "Combo" around). Get the

A Sad Goodbye to My Roomba i7
My i7+ was 10x the robot vacuum the disaster of a Max 705 I currently have is. I’m on my third replacement since I bought it in October last year. I feel you.

Roomba Combo 705 Max
It may have internal lidar. I doubt they are sticking with vslam after all the complaints. This and the standard 705 are meant to be their last in house designed robot vacuums. I hope this is great because I dont want irobot to die, I also hope they can fix the known issues with the 405/505.

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
