I recently purchased the new Roomba Plus 505 Combo Robot Vacuum & Mop with the AutoWash Dock, and honestly, I'm loving it! After getting the Roomba 105 with the auto-empty dock for our upstairs a few weeks ago, I knew I wanted something even more powerful for downstairs. We live in the city, have a dog, and often have family over who don't always remember to take their shoes off - so keeping things clean can be challenging. One of the biggest highlights for me is the combination of the LiDAR sensor and the Clearvision AI cameras. This is currently the only model that has both features, and together they make navigation and obstacle avoidance fantastic. The vacuum maps our home accurately and typically moves around effortlessly. Sure, sometimes the pathfinding can get a bit quirky, but overall it's impressive. It’s really nice to see Roomba stepping up their game, catching up to competitors, and rebranding as a more modern and user-friendly company. My only real frustration was during the initial firmware update, which seemed to take forever. The app kept saying the update was "almost complete" with less than a minute left, but I ended up having to force-close and reopen it. After doing that, the vacuum was immediately ready to go, and thankfully, it’s been smooth sailing ever since. The mopping feature was surprisingly good - the back-and-forth scrubbing motion cleans much better than I expected. That said, the dock's water bins do feel a bit cheap for the original price point ($999), though I managed to get it on sale for $599, which helped ease that disappointment. I was also initially skeptical about the single brush roll design, but Roomba definitely stepped up the suction power compared to previous models, and other brands. It picks up dirt and debris without needing multiple passes, performing just as well as other vacuums I've used in this price range. Overall, I'm really happy with this purchase and can't wait to see what new products Roomba brings out next!

Best Robot Cleaner I’ve Ever Owned – Set It and Forget It Perfection I’ve owned several robot vacuums over the years, and the iRobot Roomba 505 Combo Vac & Mop is on a completely different level. This thing doesn’t just clean—it handles business. The vacuuming is powerful and consistent, and the spinning mop pads actually scrub instead of just dragging a damp cloth around. Floors come out visibly cleaner, especially in high-traffic areas and around the kitchen. The AutoWash Dock is a game changer: it self-empties, washes the mop pads, and even heat-dries them, so there’s zero smell and zero maintenance on my end. Navigation is impressively smart thanks to LiDAR. It maps the house accurately, avoids obstacles, and doesn’t get “lost” like older models. I can run it at night or when I’m out, and I come home to floors that look freshly cleaned—no babysitting required. What really sold me is how hands-off the whole system is. No constant emptying, no dirty mop pads, no daily fuss. It feels like having a silent cleaning assistant that just works. Bottom line: If you want top-tier performance, real mopping (not gimmicks), and true automation, this Roomba is worth every penny. Once you use it, you’ll wonder how you lived without it. Highly recommended.

A huge step in the right direction for Roomba, this had a new App that brought a lot of new room and mapping changes which were needed, obstical detection and a refreshed user interface. I would have liked an onboard twater tank for the mop pads but, it definitely kept my hardwood floors clean with 2 German Sheppards and chocolate lab Still. If it were $100 cheaper it would be a solid buy but I have more value on customer service and parts arability so it was good for me.
