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

Roomba Combo 705 Max Leaked in full

Imagine if they evolved the s9 series into having a roller and mop. I still think the s9 is “peak” roomba and had A LOT of potential. I remember in 2019 when my mom got the s9 and m6 combo, they looked so sleek and the performance on carpet was insane. Then they “downgraded” back to the round design

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

Possible bug with 705 combo?

Same issue here. My 705 combo will not cross any carpeted area if it’s in mop only mode. It only appears to use the mop cover and traverse carpet when in Vacuum & Mop mode. I’ve seen a few other threads with the same issue so perhaps it’s something iRobot could fix with a software update!

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

Loving my Ecovacs X90, but mop cleaning frequency is a bit much

How does it compare? Surprisingly, I had & returned the iRobot 705 Max Combo and now seeing how fast the X90 cleans the mop compared to how Roomba did….. & its app made me want to rip out my hair waiting ages for the mop to finish washingwithout giving me a choice to skip it…. And still be dirty
