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

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

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

My 705 Combo works like a charm
Please let the robot vacuum gods make this the peak iRobot roomba ๐ all Iโve wanted is lidar in a repairable roomba and the return of the scooba, which the roller mop in the 705 seems to fill ๐ (Even tho itโs not yet confirmed or denied that this new range of roombas is built by another brand and no

Roomba 405 or Roomba 505
I already have Roomba 705 Vacuum so I don't want to buy the Max Combo, also the roller brush would be a pain to clean. I think the heated pads are worthwhile though so I will heavily consider the 505.

Roomba selection!
try the Roomba Combo i5+ for vacuuming and mopping, the Roomba j6+ for pet mess and cord detection, or the Roomba Max 705 for strong suction. All have self-emptying bases for easy cleaning.

Is it worth upgrading to 750 max from S9+?
I have a couple S9s and also got the Max 705 last summer. The laser nav is way better than the S9 and previous models and no longer takes a really long time to map. I do find it quieter, unlike other comments here. I run it nightly and after 9+ months, the Max 705 has gotten stuck only a few times w

Roomba decides not to mop carpet even tho it did before?
It should not mop carpeted surface or rugs regardless of what the job's map tells you. The map may look like it is doing mopping and vacuuming, but it really just shows where the Roomba cleaned during a Vac and Mop or Vac then Mop job. If your 400 series WAS getting rugs and carpets wet before, it m
