What to expect from the iRobot Roomba Max 705 Combo

The iRobot Roomba Max 705 Combo is the entry model of iRobot's Max line: 13,000 Pa of suction, two rubber brushes and two edge brushes, and the PowerSpin roller mop, which cleans itself continuously, is heated while it mops, pulls out to reach edges and corners and sits under a cover that keeps rugs dry. It navigates with ClearView Pro lidar, and its PrecisionVision camera recognizes cables, socks and pet waste. The AutoWash station empties the bin for up to 75 days, washes the roller, hot-dries it, doses detergent and runs its own self-cleaning cycle.

On paper it has the same kind of roller mop and washing station as the Max 775 Combo, with less suction (13,000 Pa against 30,000 Pa) and a bag interval of 75 rather than 90 days. Voice control works with Alexa, Siri and Google Assistant.

None of our test sources has measured it, and the previous generation of Roombas was criticized by Vacuum Wars and Tom's Guide for a buggy app and mediocre obstacle recognition. At 4.1 inches it is tall for low furniture, thresholds stop at 0.6 inches, and our specifications list no battery or run time. Anyone who wants a Roomba with a real roller mop and a washing station without paying for the Max 775's extra suction has the obvious candidate here.

Based on the maker's specifications and our price data; none of our test sources has tested this model.

13,000 Pa
Anti-tangle brush

A brush that guides hair to the side instead of letting it wind around the shaft. It saves the cutting work in homes with long hair or pets.

detects carpet and boosts suction
Dirt detection

A sensor notices where more dirt lies, at the doormat for example, and the robot cleans that patch longer or a second time.

yes
Mopping 4 facts
Mop type

How the mop is built: flat pads, two spinning discs or a roller. Discs press harder on dried-on dirt, a roller rinses itself while it works.

roller mop
Mop extends to the edges

The pad slides out along a wall or a baseboard, so the last few inches are mopped as well.

yes
Automatic mop detach

The robot leaves the mop at the dock before it vacuums a carpet, so the carpet never gets wet.

no
Mop refreshed while mopping

The robot returns to the dock during a run to rinse the mop, instead of pushing dirty water around.

2.5 l
Dust bag lasts
