Customers are saying

Customers are satisfied with the Roomba 705's cleaning performance, navigation, mapping, object detection, suction power, and relatively low noise level. The battery life is sufficient for many homes, and the setup process is straightforward, with excellent build quality. However, a potential drawback is its connectivity, with some users reporting frequent Wi-Fi disconnections.

    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.

    I would definitely recommend this Roomba to anyone who wants a good quality vacuum. Yes it may cost a little more but it is worth every dime! I purchased a shark robot vacuum and it was not worth the money I paid for it. The vacuum but not pick up on carpet and barely on the floor but with this vacuum it goes any and everywhere and if there's something on the floor that should not be on the floor instead of rolling over it it goes around it. I have two very heavy hairy dogs and if it was not for this vacuum I don't know what I would do.

    Changed my daily routine! I love that I can set to a specific time and it will automatically start. Does a really good job keeping my floors clear of dog hair and dust. With my 3 dogs I dont see any dog hair after the Roomba finishes a deep clean. I am very happy with how it can even clean corners well. Highly recommend.

    This is the 3rd robot vacuum I’ve bought and the second roomba, the auto empty is a nice addition but is quite loud(not enough to make it annoying but just a heads up), I think the roombas are probably the best robot vacuum on the market.

    This roomba model is much better than a previous model we had. The first one would leave its station and die before returning. The one issue I have with this one is that the spinning brush keeps coming off on its own. If there were some mechanism or design feature that kept it in place, this would be a 5 star review

    Very efficient. Dumps when full then continues cleaning. You get a map sent to your email showing the areas cleaned. We named it Mr. Clean. We are very pleased. We have a large house. Dies under beds to if you lift the bedskirt.

    So you hate vacuuming?.. This'll do you!

    Even though vacuuming is the art of the actual vacuuming device picking up dirt and debris off the floor, we seem to want to eliminate the need to push said device around to accomplish this feat. That’s where Roomba comes in, and the iRobot Max 705 is quite the entry for all who want to let anyone or anything else do the floors. First things first, the packaging is very sturdy, and the Roomba is well protected. There is absolutely no need to worry about shipping and handling damage. This is important because the vacuum is a little heavier than you might anticipate. After opening the box, you notice there is no assembly required – unless you call snapping on the optional edge sweeper “assembly”. No instruction manual included. You basically have 3 picture boxes on a piece of cardboard that tell you, in simplest terms, download the app and turn it on. The unit is very well built, and looks good, handsome, if that makes sense. It has rubber on the wheels, and the rubber looks permanent, like it won’t wear or loosen. The build quality is excellent – 2nd to none. Once you power it up, the 705 wants and needs to map the layout. Between up and downstairs, we are looking at nearly 2800 square feet. Surprisingly, it didn’t take long for it to map it out. We keep our areas and floors very clutter free and clean, so I don’t know if we challenged it much, but I was more than impressed. Once the layout is mapped, it’s time to vacuum the floors. We have a mixture of hardwood, tile, and carpet. The 705 is pretty quiet, especially on the hardwood flooring. The tile was a bit noisier, but we have a slate tile in our kitchen. For carpet, there was a definite boost in suction and brushing. The vacuum itself was a bit louder but not overly distracting. Overall, I would say it isn’t very noisy and can be tolerated when eating dinner or having a family discussion. I’m not sure if I experienced any increase in suction or effort caused by the built-in Dirt Detect technology, but I wouldn’t expect it to get much noisier while vacuuming floors. The loudest the 705 gets is when it returns to base and performs an automatic emptying of the bin. You will hear it then, but not for long. With LiDAR built into this thing, I expected next-level edge and object detection. Let’s just say “check” on that note. Walls? Close vacuuming like a person did it. Stairs? No tumbling down them destroying your investment. Objects in the floor? Who needs to pick up everything? I’ve got to say, it’s impressive! Add to its mapping and edge/object detection capabilities the know how to return to base and recharge itself then finish any unfinished areas – it’s like you are doing your own floors? Speaking of recharge, the battery life on the 705 is pretty solid. Hardwood will yield you about a couple of hours depending on layout complexity. Mixed flooring, especially with carpet, will yield quite a bit less. Does it get the job done? Yes, without question. This thing vacuums floors on par with a lightweight vac, and for most, that will more than fill their needs. Well, I think that covers it. My thoughts are in line with Roomba’s included single cardboard box piece instructions. It is well built, very intelligent, and performs great. Add to that the Roomba app which is well designed, simple to use, and gives full control of the vacuum and its schedule, and you have a no-brainer – a winner in every way.
