Customers are delighted by the Roomba Plus 505 Combo's impressive cleaning performance, particularly its effective sweeping and mopping capabilities and strong suction. Many appreciate the advanced mapping and object detection features, including the LiDAR navigation system which helps the robot avoid obstacles efficiently. However, some users note that the battery life could be improved, and the noise level can be high, especially during mopping. The ease of setup is also frequently praised.

This roomba is replacing an older roomba and Braava. The updates to this machine made me think the upgrade would be worth it to me and it has proven to be true! If you’re on the fence I would highly suggest it.

I have another J series Roomba and really liked it, but this 505 is truly awesome! Hasn’t gotten stuck anywhere yet, and very quiet. Best one I’ve owned.

The app is slow, freezes, and crashes. Using their mopping solution and their recommended dosing. It would constantly error due to oversudsing then it begain flooding my floor. I returned it and replaced it with a shark.

Takes forever to setup. Even when set up can't map the whole house. Very frustrating. The part that it IS cleaning around the house works great.

The Service at Best Buy was good, the unit 505 plus Roomba has the same problem as the one that I exchanged, grinding noise from the mop mechanism and the new, new unit uses an excessive amount of cleaning fluid.

This is our fourth Roomba and it’s been not a great product. The cleaning is second to none but the new WiFi connectivity is Terrible. It’s always disconnected which means it doesn’t clean when it’s supposed to. We’ve tried rebooting and all the troubleshooting options without luck. If I tell it to clean manuallly it connects and takes off. Problem is it cleans the entire house…. When I send it home to reset it looses connectivity again. Lots of money to not function properly!

Ive been an Irobot user for about six years. I wanted a robot that could replace both my vacuum and mop robots. I had been resewrching this model for exactly that. I almost didnt putchase because of all of the negative reviews. Im glad i disnt let tye negative people sway my purchase. This was the best investment ever. I couldnt be happier.

I’m giving it a three because one of the mop scrubbers stopped spinning only after a couple of weeks on the job. However, after contacting the company via text, they stated they are sending me a new one out within the next 7-10 days. The rating could go up if the next works better. I can’t recommend something that I’m having issues with only after a couple weeks.
