iRobot Roomba Combo Robot Vacuum

It can miss corners and get stuck. The Roomba Combo cleans in back-and-forth rows without building a map, and in some homes that covers every spot, but missed corners and getting wedged under low furniture are common complaints. Block off or raise low furniture before a run if you can.

No. The mop gives the floor a light wipe with a little water, which keeps hard floors fresh between proper cleans but won't lift dried-on spills. A few are happy with it as maintenance mopping, and there are 3 water levels to choose from, but plan on a real mop for anything sticky.

Yes, between full cleans. In homes with dogs and cats the Roomba Combo keeps shed hair under control on hard floors and area rugs, and that's the job it does best. Running it daily stops hair from building up in corners and under furniture.

It's mixed. For some, setup and scheduling in the iRobot Home App are simple, while others fight with account creation or Wi-Fi pairing before the Roomba Combo will run at all. It needs a 2.4 GHz network, so check your router settings before you start.

Fairly quiet. The Roomba Combo comes across as quieter than a typical upright and quieter than older robot vacuums, so a daily run while you're home isn't much of a disturbance. It isn't silent, but it's easy to live with, and iRobot doesn't publish a decibel figure for it.

Not entirely. It's good for daily upkeep, but it leaves fine debris behind and does less on rugs, so several households still run a regular vacuum once a week. Treat the Roomba Combo as what keeps floors tidy between those cleans, with up to 120 minutes per charge.
