iRobot - Roomba Combo 10 Max

I was thinking this too, getting rid of my iRobot 10 combo max.. is the price now $1095 to stay? Also, is this because v2 is coming soon? I see a lot of the ai coming to this model is “coming soon.”?

I just got the iRobot Roomba Combo 10 Max Robot. I am just now testing the mopping as it seems to do a decent job. I wish I did wait and did some research though. The Dreame X50 Ultra seems to be a better option with its extendable legs and better sensors.

I have the Roomba Combo 10, and honestly, it's been a huge disappointment. It feels like an unfinished product — definitely not something I’d expect from iRobot, and I wouldn’t recommend it to anyone.

We also have a roomba max 10 as well and we really like the cleaning and mopping performance.

I know everyone 💩's on this Roomba, and when I found it for $450 on Ebay I thought I scored, but was super scared to use it. But for real, it blows my J7+ (+ Braava) out of the water. It vacuums and mops at the same time, doesn't need to redock and charge its battery, and has the power to drive over a gap with tile into our kitchen (Braava could never) and vacuum/mop that area. It picked up so much pet hair on its first pass (despite the J7 having ran that week) that it got clogged docking (the only time that has happened ever) because there was just so much. As much as I read about everyone having issues with this model, it's been my best robot vacuum ever. Just wanted to post something against the grain.

And their products suck. I bought both the vacuum and mop during Covid. The mop always had much better programming. Now it gets about 1’ from the dock and spins in circles until it crashes into the dock and bunch then times out. It might work after trying 5-8 times. And even then it does a shit job

It clogged docking because it was moist from the mopping it was doing at the same time. Some users started doing dry vacuuming and mopping on the slowest suction because the brushes and ducting getting dirty with wet dirt. It's so sad irobot won't allow mop-only run.

Yeah it’s pretty dire. You’d think after 5 years of development it would do a better job but all it has is extra suck (pun intended) compared to my i7+ and m6 pair - it constantly gets stuck going from tile to rugs regardless of pile level, will bounce off objects and get itself in a tizzy mapping a mile long corridor outside my house (Mark Z. Danielewski would be proud!), and has never ever shown me an object avoidance image to review. The side brush doesn’t spin properly. It slips on its own slippery mopped surfaces and gets confused mopping the same 1 sqft for 90 mins before just running out of battery, or tells me it’s stuck (in the middle of an empty room). The only saving grace is that compared to an i7+ and m6 it doesn’t take up two robots to do the one job. I can’t imagine the new ones are any better. LIDAR isn’t going to fix mechanical issues.

Coming from a person who’s tried the Roborock Q Revo Pro, Roborock Q Revo Master, Dreame L20, Dreame L40, iRobot Roomba Combo 10 max, iRobot Roomba j9+, iRobot Roomba j7+, and iRobot Roomba i7+, I can confidently tell you that the Roomba j9 or 10 max is by far the best. iRobot is definitely farther behind in most other aspects, though.

They stand out because I never see dog hair on my carpets when they run in contrast to older Roomba series and other brands. They definitely need more maintenance though. They have worse navigation, get stuck more, and are much worse at mopping. Roborock is much better overall but they suck at obstacle avoidance. I’d say go with dreametech. They’re a great overall. Just get the tri cut brush.

I am really undecided between the eufy Omni S1 Pro and the Ecovacs Deebot X9 Pro Omni. I have no budget - just want something that works. My main floor is 3000 sq ft of which 65% is darker hardwood and 35% is medium color ceramic tile. I have 3 smaller low pile area rugs so for me the priority is mopping & getting rid of dust on hardwood/ceramic floors. I currently have the Roomba Combo 10 Max and it has really bad performance which frustrates me so much so I will pay any amount to just have a robot vac that will start and end as scheduled and not have any issues performing its duties or leaving weird streak and residue all over my floors.
