Customer Ratings & Reviews

works great! cleaning my floors on a schedule. Couldn't be happier.

very good and effcient product I would recommend it!

We have been using it for 1 month now and it works great.

Tremenda la máquina hace un trabajo espectacular y de eficiencia

The cleaning is good but the charge doesn't last for more than 30 minutes or so. This means it can't clean a 2 bed room apartment even. I would have preferred to return it but I was 1 day late before the return window closed.

Best experience ever, love the price match guarantee

This saves me so much time. Amazing price for what you get to.

Over the years I’ve had the opportunity to try several robot vacuums, and the new iRobot Roomba Plus 505 Combo Robot Vacuum and Mop + AutoWash Dock is now my favorite option for keeping our floors clean. This unit offers so many cleaning options, and it includes a dual mop feature! As a dog owner, this is a must have for keeping our hardwood and carpets free of hair and dirt on a regular basis. What’s in the box: - Roomba Plus 505 Combo robot - AutoWash Docking Station - 1 x Extra AutoEmpty Bag - 1 x Extra Set of Dual Spinning Mop Pads - 1 x Line Cord Setup: There are extensive step-by-step instructions included that are easy to follow (pictures) that made the initial setup a breeze. iRobot Roomba has done an amazing job of simplifying the setup process for the non-technical user. Literally there are only a couple of pieces that need to be put together before initial use. Step 6 in the instructions is a QR code to download the new Roomba Home app. Once connected to wifi and the vacuum, room mapping is the next step in the process. The areas being mapped should be accessible to the Plus 505 for a successful mapping process. This system uses ClearView™ Pro LiDAR and Precision Vision AI technology to map out the rooms requiring cleaning. Once the area is mapped, rooms can be identified, and zones can be setup and customized as desired. There are numerous settings available based on user preferences and desired cleaning mode(s), including 4 cleaning modes: vac-only, mop-only, vac + mop, vac then mop. Cleaning: Vacuuming - The iRobot Roomba Plus 505 uses a single rubber brush and an edge-sweeping brush along with a high suction vacuum. It has handled every bit of pet hair and dirt that’s been thrown at it! For being such a powerful vacuum, the unit runs very quietly making it virtually unnoticeable as it goes about its work. It will auto-sense heavier dirt and increase power and continue vacuuming in that area as needed to completely pick up the debris. I found the combination of the rubber brush and the edge-sweeping brush do wonders for picking up pet hair even in some tighter, tough-to-reach spots. Mopping - The mopping performance on this robot far exceeded my expectations. As mentioned, we have a dog that keeps us on our toes in terms of cleaning the hardwood and tile flooring and it’s now a snap to keep floors clean. Unlike previous robot vacuums, the Roomba Plus 505 Combo does not avoid carpeting when mopping, instead it can do both by retracting the mopping pads out of the way. The dual rotating pads also extend out to (individually) reach those hard-to-get spots along the wall or under counters. This model also offers heated air to assist with drying the mop pads when in the dock. AutoWash Dock – The docking station is also a filled with technology that should not be overlooked. It charges the unit, cleans out the gray water and replenished the clean water, dries the mopping pads and empties the vacuum bag. It’s a powerful dock but almost half the size of the dock from a previous model robot. We placed it in the corner of our kitchen area that leads into the dining and living rooms and iRobot’s modern design allows this unit to match our décor. iRobot Roomba Home App: The app is really the control center behind the robot and is packed with setting for customizing the vacuum, mapping your home and setting desired cleaning modes. It’s also user-friendly even for the non-technical users out there. There are so many features I’m still working my way through them all. Pros: - Easy to set up, operate and clean - Substantial build quality and design of vacuum and dock - iRobot Home app is user friendly and packed with features - Cleaning capabilities of the mopping function are outstanding, including extended reach to pick up along walls and under counters - Very quiet yet powerful vacuuming/mopping and virtually self-sufficient - Auto clean features on the docking station make clean up a breeze - Extra cleaning pieces included with initial purchase Cons: - Due to our dog’s hair, etc. the robot tends to need to recharge more often than expected, probably not an issue for pet-free homes though. Overall: The iRobot Roomba Plus 505 Robot Vacuum and Mop is a top-quality product packed with valuable and user-friendly features. It’s probably the smartest “smart” device we own but is a breeze to setup and operate. I would recommend this unit to anyone looking for a robot vacuum with mopping capabilities.

I love it makes my job easzyer...and very eazy to clean up...

Excellent, quality, price; efficiency……………………………….

I went to a Best Buy store in Orlando near the Millenia Mall. I bought several expensive items. I noticed that the salesperson had not included the apartment number. He told me that it would be okay and that he would contact me by phone. I reminded him that I am Brazilian and did not have an international phone number. He said that it would be okay and that he would send me an email and that I would be able to get the apartment number by email. I asked him again to correct it, but he said that he could not. Then my struggle began. At Best Buy they told me that I had to contact FedEx, at FedEx they said that I had to contact Best Buy. I went back to the store and they said that there was nothing they could do and I returned to Brazil without the items. In addition, I could not buy again because my credit card limit was compromised.

Having a big issue with there software on the app and with the robot not working right. Talked with iRobot customer support after some trial and error they sent me a new unit just for it to have the same issue. If it worked the way it is suppose to it would be 5 stars easy.

Your gunna spend more time maintaining this thing and getting it unstuck then it will clean. Waste of time and money. 0 stars. And this company just filed for bankruptcy so updates and support will only get worse.

Always had errors, water container broke already, and software app sucks.

I was really excited to see how this new Roomba with Lidar performed when staked up against the competition. The auto empty, self washing mop, and new lidar system seemed like a huge recipe for success. While it does do pretty well, I found some pretty big downsides to this product that make it a hard sell at $999. First with what I did like. The mop does an excellent job mapping the house and avoiding obstacles. The only real problem it had was with my sled bottom chairs, which all robo vacs have trouble with. This is the first vac I've had that is able to mop and also vacuum carpet. The pads lift up inside the robot to go over carpet which is very cool. Suction is great and it picks up tons of pet fur while vacuuming. It's also very compact for a mop and auto empty robot. It fits perfectly in the corner of my kitchen. The auto extend mopping arm gets so close to the wall, unlike any robo mop I've ever see. Now what I don't like. The battery life is not great, which causes a long cleaning time. To clean my entire bottom story it takes about 5-6 hours. I start the vacuum around 2am and it won't finish until I get up in the morning. The vacuum also makes very loud noises on my hardwood. It sounds broken at times. I also have two dogs and within a week have had to clean the brush twice because it gets so tangled it won't spin. Not only this, but I can't seem to find a way to get the vacuum to auto empty during a routine. So by the time the entire clean finishes, the dust bin is so full that many times it won't even empty and I have to manually empty the bin. Overall, there are a few things to like but the downsides here make it hard to recommend

First one didn’t work had to take back the next day. Second one worked for 3 months now is in constantly in recalibration mode. Will never buy again.

Constant issues Not finishing its program Looks confused I think this model is just not completed

I don't like it, it doesn't work right away and it also has a camera and i don't like the lack of privacy

I've tried multiple Roombas and have found a lot of issues with them, mostly in regards to connecting to your wi-fi, and staying connected. So with a bit of trepidation I went ahead and requested this unit, in hopes of finally finding the product that can both vacuum and mop without issue. So far I have tried a couple of other non-Roombas, to very little good, and so I was hopeful that now with the market given time and attention to the tech this one would be a winner. Setting it up was very easy, it's on the box what to do. Got the app and got registered there without any issue. Was able to get my until setup after about 20 minutes of messing with the app and we were off and training. The unit is quality, you can tell it's a Roomba by design and the pads are easy to take off and put back on for cleaning purposes. First things first, the Roomba needs to make a map of your area to treat, or not treat, as the case may be. This was something I did with about 65% power, and I regret it. Make sure you're at 100% charge before doing the mapping, and you will save yourself a lot of headache. The next two cleanings worked but I had to rescue the Roomba at the end when it got lost and couldn't find it's way back to the dock. I've had this happen when the charge gets lower, so be aware. Sitting the roomba back into it's dock solves the issue, but you will have to put up with the ROOMBA NEEDS ATTENTION a bit more than you'd like. After two cleanings now, our downstairs looks CLEAN very clean! My wife was very happy with it as well. I'd have to recommend this, despite the poor unit getting lost a time or two near the end of the cycle, I find that the overall ease of use, and very good cleaning results, makes this the new king of the hill when it comes to Robot vac/cleaners. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

I would never buy a rumba again. It swept the home and left dirt on the floor . And it never mopped the floors . It would not leave station to mop it just spilled water every where around the station.
