Roomba Combo 10 Max

I have 3 roombas. One of them, an i8, worked well for about 3 years before it just stopped being able to navigate. The other two, 10 Max ($600 each), have been absolute trash from day 1. iRobot is in my top 3 worst brand experiences of all time.

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

Yes. I have my combo 10 max that I run daily but every once in a while I still let my s9+ run. It’s the most beautiful robot vacuum made and it’s high quality strong suction too. It’s upsetting that iRobot didn’t evolve on the S platform

Just realised the new generation of iRobots are all Chinese with a (likely) reskinned app, as the new app only works with the new robots and the old app only works with the old robots. Disappointed but understandable...considering Irobot's finances. Will probably stick with my j7+ as the 10Max (last irobot's own design) does not seem to have navigstional improvements.

I have been looking for one for years. My solution had been to just toss our old one in the shop when we upgrade the one in the house. My wife ran over one, they survive for about 6-12 months. True industrial ones are just stupid expensive. If you can find a used i-mop on eBay, that's the ticket, but it's not automatic.
