The iRobot Roomba Plus 515 Combo is the cheaper compact Roomba: the same 46 percent smaller design at 83.5 millimetres tall, 22,000 Pa of suction, anti-tangle brushes, two spinning DualClean mop pads at 180 rpm of which one extends along edges, an extending side brush for corners, pads that lift 10.5 millimetres on carpet, ClearView lidar and thresholds up to 3.5 centimetres. The station empties the bin, washes the pads in 75-degree water and dries with 45-degree air. The quoted run time is 295 minutes, good for 185 square metres.
For a small or crowded home the size is the argument, and the long run time also suits a large home in one run. The extending side brush and mop arm are features that gave the tested Dreame models cleaner edges.
The caveats: our specifications list no camera-based obstacle recognition, so cables and socks must come off the floor, the station doses no detergent and there is no water connection. None of our test sources has measured the 515, and the Plus 405 that Vacuum Wars did test drew criticism for a buggy app and a mop that was too wet. Also compare it with the 575, which adds the camera for a little more.
Based on the maker's specifications and our price data; none of our test sources has tested this model.
