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 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.

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!

I work out of town, have two long haired cats and two roommates. This product has been a game changer. Owned for about two months, and I did have to do a good deep clean first, but it has made my life much easier, it does the day to day like a champ, no cat hair to be found, quiet and effortless!

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.

This Roomba cleans better and quicker than the previous Roomba I had. The battery life is good enough for my house. The AutoEmpty makes it a lot easier because it picks a lot of hair that my pet sheds and I don't have to be constantly emptying the bin.

Good cleaning with Great Object Avoidance

It's been a long time since we've used robot vacuums because while we've owned a j8+ and S9 we had problems with the robots getting stuck under furniture, tangled in cords, ignoring keep out zones, or just unable to get navigate through some clutter. We'd basically given up on using them.
After reading positive reviews of the object detection and avoidance used in modern Roombas we decided to give them another shot and have been super pleased with the Max 705. It navigates our house exceptionally well, hasn't gotten stuck once, and cleans well. Super happy with it.

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.

We have four cats in our house. We own two of these units. Each are named Jim because like the Jim's in Shoresy - they're "Such f-n beauties". They are scheduled to run every-other day to keep the cat hair and litter tracking contained. Best of all they avoid obstacles and don't drag cat puke around with the sensors recognizing and avoiding it.

Roomba best home defense for dirt

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.

This works so much better than the shark I replaced. The shark was like a wrecking ball just bouncing off everything. This goes right up to the wall or furniture without hitting it. The shark also didn't make it back to the dock at least once a week. So far the Roomba made it home everytime.

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!

Good Vacuum - Poor App

The vacuum cleans pretty well. The app is not very intuitive. It's difficult to create cleaning routines, and it seems to be impossible to delete one if it's not what you want. Overall, I'm happy with the cleaning but very disappointed in the app.

Excellent product, great at navigating around the house and avoiding obstacles. Our 8 month old infant loves to watch the Roomba run and cheer on our sheepadoodle as she drops bones in front of it to try and stop it from moving
