Roborock surprisingly didn’t do well in VacuumWars best vac/mop awards
I have not really much to add here since i have a completely different approach regarding cleaning performance tests. Vacuumwars does mainly some sweeping tests (the only more vacuuming weighted test is their cravis test that they for whatever reason do not attach much value anymore in their rating

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.

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

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

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.

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

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
