Customer Ratings & Reviews

I really love my 705 Max combo, this replaced an S9 for an all carpet space. if you're looking for a pure vacuum robot that can really clean deep this sits in high regard with some of the best. Dual rollers , high suction power and no mops means the carpet's don't get wet but you get great performance. iRobot's lineup finally gets a new app and lidar this year and it's greatly appreciated, navigation is great, it cleans the whole room easily . Obstacle avoidance is Aldo good, it avoids dog toys easily. I have 2 German Shepards and a chocolate lab which is basically a worst case scenario for any robot but no problems with clogging or performance on the max 705. when it's on sale for $549-599 this is a good buy

This is the one, I've had so mamy robot vacuums over the years and they've always been flawed, all brands, all of them! This Roomba Max 705 nailed it though. Out of the box it's a sharp looking robot vacuum, nice and slick, piano black and matte black accents. The charging dock with the bagged canister isnt much deeper than one without the canister. Get it fired up, charged, app installed and start the mapping process. First be sure to pick up any obstacles that aren't common or have a normal spot in the house and are out of place. It will cruise around and get a digital blueprint of the house. The app is pretty cool and simple to use, once mapping is done, you can set up scheduled automation, days, times, suction power, rooms and the amount of passes. For instance I run a Tuesday and Thursday automation that vacuums the areas of the house that are constantly in use, one pass with medium suction. I run another autimation for Saturday with every room on the list, high suction for carpeted areas and a double pass. You can also press play on the bot to go to town, or you can tell google or alexa (once set up) to have your Roomba clean a particular room. It does a great job and leaces perfect brush lines in your carpet. Love it! Everyone needs this vac!!

Love this unit! Has a sensor on the front that stops it before it bumps into things, so less banging going on while it searches. Does a great job of remembering where it has been. Quiet and does a great job of cleaning. App easy to use. Great product.

I have had this brand before. The previous models were a little more simple. No real compliant but I wish they could do a little more. Setting up this robot vacuum was pretty simple. I took off the all the plastics and and attached the three armed brush. It was a simple lining up and pushing it in. It did get caught on a rough and came loose but I think I snapped it on wrong. It hasn’t come loose in a while so I’m good there. Downloading the app and connecting the app to the robot vacuum took no time at all but make sure your WiFi is on and strong. The very first thing it will ask you to do is to layout where you want it to vacuum. To me this sets the tone of your review because if you don’t get this write them the vacuum won’t be able to do its job correctly and you might this is broke or not a good product. So make sure you home is clear and free of toys, boxes, your furniture is in place, rooms are closed off that you don’t want included and walls can be reached. After that you are good to go.

Our recently purchased Roomba Max 705 vacuums our ~2500 square foot house in ~10-12 hours when operating in the "smart" clean mode. During this time, it can stop and return to the docking port to empty itself out around 6 times. It can stop and return to the docking port to recharge itself around 3 times. Usually, but not always, the recharging occurs when the Roomba is already docked for, and has completed, emptying itself. The mapping it uses is not perfect, but does reasonably well. The algorithms it follows for cleaning relative to this mapping are not always self-evident, with some revisits to certain rooms and scant attention to others. It transitions well between hard floors and carpeting and manages to persevere even on relatively thick carpeting. We don't yet have experience emptying the docking port or cleaning/replacing vital components on the Roomba itself -- so stay tuned.

Scorched earth is the only rule this Roomba lives by. Roomba sits patiently while the dirt and pet-hair builds-up. When I launch within the App, boom - goodbye dirt, pet hair, and my doubt! Works surprisingly well! if you’re lazy like me, avoid work now by making this purchase. It’s easy to use and continues to exceed my expectations.

I bought this to replace the Neato D7 I had. The Roomba 705 navigation is outstanding! The vacuum power is 8x more powerful than the Neato I had. The big bonus is the self emptying feature. The app is easy to use, and I like this robot so much I bought another one for my other place!

Robot portion of this is good, and the improvements to the iRobot app for mapping and controlling are great. The LiDAR tower does make it significantly taller though, and this one won't fit where my older model Roombas would. Seems to clean well, though only 3 runs so far, and it hasn't quite learned to go to the edges of some areas yet. The main reason for dropping stars is the self-emptying parts. The jet-turbine-loud vacuum in the canister is obnoxious. I would rather empty the robot myself than hear that thing, so will definitely be using the app/Alexa to set up cleaning for when no one is home.

Works very well. Mapped the room in 8-10 min. Comes bags which are a bit smaller then previous robot but seem to be efficient so far. Cleans pet hair pretty good

Fantastic upgrade from previous versions. Smart vac works great and so easy to skip rooms if necessary. Easy set up and doesn’t get itself stuck and doesn’t fall off the ledge like my last iRobot. Definitely makes my already super busy life easier!

The mapping is way better than previous generations. The app also generates a 3d model of your home which is cool. Mine is hit or miss on completely emptying the bin when it returns to the base.

This one is great, it works around chairs etc that are out of place. My old one didn’t do along walls well, this one does. I don’t have to sweep the edges to get them clean.

Very impressed with how fast and accurately this mapped the space. It does a great job cleaning and not too loud. (But you cannot expect to run it and watch TV.

I had the j7+, the time I had it perfect job. I bought this one and I love it, it has many ways to clean. It's much less noisy than the last one.

We have only had the Roomba working for a week, but so far the suction seems to be pretty good. I programmed it to clean multiple rooms, but it hasn’t always done so and I have had to send it back to that particular room. The app does not allow you to send it to more than one room at a time if you are doing so manually. That’s something they need to fix.

Love this new mapping model. Had a previous model that was in need of retirement. This new one does not disappoint.

This thing is amazing, it’s hand off truly from mapping your house to cleaning it. Never had a better time cleaning :) can transition between rooms and carpet/hard floor/mats. Never stops.

This is my fourth robot vacuum, and by far the best. Maps quickly and does an excellent job. Does not yum into everything as it works. Knows exactly when to stop, turn etc. Would definitely recommend.

This roomba does a better job than its predecessors. It suctions better and analysis maps differently on a different app.

Amazing product and really easy to use and set up, highly recommend this bad boy
