iRobot’s latest collection redefines convenience by introducing distinct categories that cater to every household requirement. Whether you need basic vacuuming or advanced mopping capabilities, there’s a Roomba designed specifically for you.
For years, iRobot enthusiasts have struggled with deciphering the company's complex product nomenclature. Now, things are simpler. The revamped range breaks down into three primary tiers—Base, Plus, and Max—each offering progressively advanced functionalities.
At its core, the Base category provides reliable cleaning solutions equipped with state-of-the-art LiDAR technology. These machines excel in navigating through cluttered spaces while delivering consistent results across standard homes. Meanwhile, the Plus tier enhances capacity and capability, addressing more challenging environments such as pet hair or larger debris accumulation. Finally, the Max series represents the pinnacle of innovation, combining robust construction with premium attributes tailored for discerning users who demand nothing less than perfection.
Beyond the foundational classifications, additional options further enrich the user experience. One notable inclusion is the "Combo" designation, which integrates both vacuuming and mopping functions into one compact unit. This hybrid approach caters particularly well to households seeking comprehensive surface maintenance without compromising on efficiency.
Another groundbreaking feature introduced alongside these new models is the AutoEmpty Dock. Designed to extend operational autonomy, this accessory automatically empties collected dirt from compatible units, reducing manual intervention significantly. Complementing this innovation is the AutoWash Dock, specifically engineered for Combo variants. It not only manages dry waste but also ensures mop heads remain hygienically clean between uses, thus maintaining optimal sanitization levels throughout your living space.
Starting with the entry-level option, the Roomba 105 establishes itself as an excellent value proposition. Featuring budget-friendly pricing alongside cutting-edge LiDAR navigation, it offers impressive suction power improvements over previous generations. Available either standalone or paired with the AutoEmpty Dock, this versatile model serves as an ideal starting point for first-time adopters venturing into automated cleaning solutions.
Expanding upon the foundation laid by the Roomba 105, the Roomba 105 Combo introduces mopping functionality within the same affordable framework. For those looking beyond mere vacuuming, this addition broadens applicability across diverse flooring types, enhancing overall utility considerably.
Moving up the spectrum, we encounter the Roomba 205 DustCompactor. Targeted towards environments where docking stations may prove impractical, this self-contained powerhouse boasts internal storage capable of holding up to sixty days' worth of debris before requiring emptying. Its successor, the Roomba 205 Combo, incorporates similar long-term operation principles but extends them to include rudimentary wet cleaning tasks via integrated microfiber pads.
Stepping into mid-tier offerings, the Roomba Plus 405 Combo distinguishes itself through extended battery life and increased dry/wet storage capacities. Capable of functioning autonomously for seventy-five consecutive days, it bridges the gap between affordability and high-end performance effectively.
Topping off the current release slate stands the Roomba Plus 505 Combo. Equipped with next-generation technologies like ClearView Pro LiDAR and PrecisionVision AI cameras, this flagship contender excels in mapping accuracy and obstacle avoidance. Enhanced corner-reaching mechanisms courtesy of PerfectEdge technology ensure no spot goes untouched during its thorough sweeps.
