What you can expect from the iRobot Roomba Plus 575 Combo
What testers say about the iRobot Roomba Plus 575 Combo
For anyone in a flat with low sofas and beds on short legs, the iRobot Roomba Plus 575 Combo reaches floor that full-sized robots leave untouched.
Almost 2 inches narrower than its peers and 0.5 inches lower, the iRobot Roomba Plus 575 Combo measures 11.9 inches across and 3.3 inches tall. Just A Dad Approved saw the size cut both ways: it slid under low furniture that other robots pass by, and it got wedged there more often.
The station is small to match, 13 inches wide against the usual 15.6 inches, yet it empties the robot's bin, washes the pads and dries them. Just A Dad Approved marked mopping at 8 and obstacle avoidance at 8.4, each over the 7.5 that sits in the middle of its table of ten-point scores.
What kept Just A Dad Approved from approving it was the wifi. The robot dropped its connection two to three times each week, and each time it had to be lifted from the station and restarted. The tester stresses that the app is its only control, so a lost connection leaves the floor uncleaned until someone does that.
