What you can expect from the iRobot Roomba Combo 115+
What testers say about the iRobot Roomba Combo 115+
For anyone with low-slung beds or sofas and no carpet to speak of, the iRobot Roomba Combo 115+ vacuums where taller robots cannot go, provided the mop is treated as an extra.
Beds and sofas that stop most robots let the iRobot Roomba Combo 115+ through. It stands 3.1 inches off the floor, and 3.8 inches is the usual height among robots that park at a bin-emptying dock. Suction, at 15,000 Pa, runs to two and a half times their 6,000 Pa. Just A Dad Approved's vacuuming mark of 7 sits exactly on that tester's median.
The mop is the weak point. Its pad cannot lift, so any carpet between the station and the hard floor gets a wet cloth pulled across it. The same tester's mopping mark is a 6 of a possible 10, and its median for mopping is 7.5. The station leaves the pad alone too, so it is rinsed at the sink after each run.
A 2,500 mAh battery gives it 100 minutes, and with 175 minutes the norm in its class that suits a flat more than a whole house.
