Suction in pascal, as the maker measures it. More pascal helps on carpet, but it says little about how well the robot picks grit off a hard floor.

What to expect from the iRobot Roomba Plus 515 Combo
The iRobot Roomba Plus 515 Combo is the cheaper compact Roomba: the same 46 percent smaller design at 3.3 inches 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 0.4 inches on carpet, ClearView lidar and thresholds up to 1.4 inches. The station empties the bin, washes the pads in 167 °F water and dries with 113 °F air. The quoted run time is 295 minutes, good for 1,990 square feet.
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 with the 575, which adds the camera.

The side brush swings out in a corner or along a baseboard, so the dust there is swept in too. On this model: from the maker's product text, not from a specification table.

Carpet detection
When it matters
Rugs and carpets, where the robot should raise its suction.
Mopping in a home with rugs, which have to stay dry.
The robot notices when it drives onto a carpet. Most then raise their suction, and a mopping robot lifts its mop or leaves it at the dock.

Suitable for pet hair
When it matters
Dogs and cats that shed.
Long-haired pets, whose hair wraps around a brush.
When it matters less
Without pets, ordinary hair and dust need nothing special.
Source: derived, no source of its own · checked on Oct 2
Whether the robot copes with pet hair: a brush that hair does not wind around and a dock that empties the bin for you. Where the maker does not say so itself, we read it from those two.
yes
Mopping6 facts
Mop type
When it matters
Homes with a lot of hard floor that you want mopped, not just wiped.
Dried-on dirt in a kitchen, which spinning pads or a roller scrub off better than a dragged cloth.
When it matters less
If you only vacuum, the mop’s build decides nothing.
The robot leaves the mop at the dock before it vacuums a carpet, so the carpet never gets wet. On this model: Assumed, not a stated fact: the maker's full specification does not name it, so we take it as no.
no (assumed)
Mop refreshed while mopping
When it matters
Large hard floors, where a mop that is never rinsed spreads dirt around.
Kitchens with sticky spills.
When it matters less
In a small home the mop does not get dirty enough in one run for it to matter.
The robot returns to the dock during a run to rinse the mop, instead of pushing dirty water around. On this model: Assumed, not a stated fact: the maker's full specification does not name it, so we take it as no.
no (assumed)
Steam
When it matters
Dried-on spills and grease in a kitchen.
Wanting a deeper clean than water and a cloth give.
When it matters less
On a floor with only light dust it adds little, and it does not suit untreated wood.
The robot or its dock works with steam. It loosens dried-on dirt and grease, or washes the mop hotter than water alone. On this model: Assumed, not a stated fact: the maker's full specification does not name it, so we take it as no.
no (assumed)
Dock11 facts
Empties the dust bin
When it matters
Pets, sand or a large home, which fill the bin every run.
Dust allergy, since you rarely touch the dust yourself.
When it matters less
In a small home with little dust, emptying the bin by hand takes a moment.
The dock collects dust in a bin instead of a disposable bag. No bags to buy, but you empty it yourself. On this model: Assumed, not a stated fact: the maker's full specification does not name it, so we take it as no.
How the robot maps your home and follows that map. Lidar measures with a laser and works in the dark, a camera looks along and recognizes more. On this model: from the maker's product text, not from a specification table.

Obstacle avoidance
When it matters
Cables, socks and toys left on the floor.
Pets, whose accidents a robot should steer around.
When it matters less
In a home that is tidied before each run it matters less.
How the robot sees loose things on the floor, such as cables, socks or a pet accident. A camera with depth sensing sees more than a bumper that reacts on contact.
