iRobot is going all-in on smart, seamless cleaning with the debut of its flagship Roomba® Max 705 Combo Robot + AutoWash™ Dock—a feature-packed 2-in-1 device designed to vacuum, mop, and quite literally think for itself.
Announced today, the Max 705 Combo is iRobot’s most powerful and intelligent robot yet, boasting 175x more suction power than the Roomba 600 series (in Spot Clean mode), a self-cleaning mop system, and AI-driven object avoidance that sidesteps everything from power cords to pet poop. For homes overrun with kids, pets, and life in general, it’s the closest thing yet to autonomous floor care.
A Flagship Built for Real-Life Messes
The Max 705 Combo is the hero of iRobot’s newly refreshed Roomba lineup. More than just a vacuum, this robot doubles as an AI-powered mop, featuring the new PowerSpin™ Roller Mop with PerfectEdge®—the company’s most advanced mopping system to date. Notably, it also debuts a smart mop cover that automatically engages to protect carpets during mopping. Yes, it knows the difference between tile and your Persian rug—and it’s not going to soak the latter.
The robot uses ClearView™ Pro LiDAR and PrecisionVision™ AI to build 3D maps of your home and intelligently avoid obstacles, like shoes, pet toys, or worse. While other smart vacuums may detect objects, the Roomba Max goes further by actively navigating around them in real-time with increased confidence and precision.
AutoWash Dock: The Hands-Free Game-Changer
Partnered with the new AutoWash™ Dock, the Max 705 Combo truly earns its hands-free label. The dock offers:
- Self-emptying for up to 75 days
- Heated mop washing and drying
- Auto-refilling of mop water
- Self-cleaning capabilities
These features elevate iRobot’s offering above most competitors. For reference, even high-end rivals like Roborock’s S8 Pro Ultra or Ecovacs’ Deebot X2 Omni offer self-cleaning docks, but few match the seamless integration and ecosystem polish of iRobot’s combo system—especially with voice assistant support (Alexa, Google Assistant, Siri) and advanced app control.
Smart Control Meets Daily Flexibility
Via the iRobot Home App, users can schedule cleans, set no-go zones, and target specific rooms, objects, or floor types. The Max 705 Combo adapts its cleaning based on context—prepping the kitchen after dinner or tackling pet hair in the living room without being asked twice.
For users already in the iRobot ecosystem, the Max 705 is a natural upgrade. For newcomers, it may be the first robot that truly delivers on the promise of “set it and forget it.”
“This is the most complete, hands-free cleaning experience we’ve ever created,” said Gary Cohen, CEO of iRobot. “It represents over 30 years of robotic expertise and our continued push to bring uncompromised cleaning to real-world homes.”
Availability and Pricing
The Roomba Max 705 Combo + AutoWash Dock is now available for pre-order in Europe at €1,099 via iRobot.com. Rollouts for North America and Japan are expected later in the year.
As consumer robots edge closer to fully autonomous home helpers, the Max 705 Combo raises the bar—not just in terms of cleaning power, but in how thoughtfully it fits into your life.
