[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This Roomba Vacuum and Mop combo robot vacuum is pretty good to have. I mainly used it to vacuum our hardwood floors. I only used the mopping function twice because it didn't come with any cleaning product, and the manual says to use specific products that I didn't have. Initially, it took us some time to get it working. It took about the third use before it actually mapped the areas well and started to suction the crumbs and extras off the floor. After getting it going well, we tried the vacuum/mopping features. It exceeded my expectations. I expected it to just leave water trails, but it wiped/mopped the floor. I couldn't tell much of a difference on the carpeted floors. There's usually not much to vacuum in those rooms. I couldn't tell if the suction was as strong because it didn't leave carpet streaks, but it picked up mostly what was visible to me. It returns to the dock on its own and empties. I had to manually open it and clear it out after one of the uses. I noticed it not picking up things and leaving stuff behind. But other than that, it empties well and is clean/clear for the next use. This is a good time saver for myself and my family and doesn't require much maintenance to maintain and use.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This Roomba vacuum is honestly such an amazing addition to my cleaning routine! It’s sleek, can be tucked into the corner of the room, and all I have to do is simply turn it on, and then it works its magic and cleans my entire apartment with no stress or worry! I don’t have any carpets so I don’t really have to worry about multi surfaces, but even with that being said, I’m sure this robot would be smart enough to detect different floor surfaces with no issue. It is effective at cleaning up all the dust and hair that can be left behind from regular daily life, and I no longer have to stress about guests, dropping crumbs all over the floor. Honestly, it has been such a game changer in my life, and I don’t even know how I function without it! It’s also very smart when it comes to obstacles, I can figure out how to reroute itself so that it doesn’t jam into the wall or anything like that. Overall, I am so happy that I have this, and if it ever breaks down for any reason, I will 1000% get another one.
Great robot vacuum and mop that makes daily cleaning easier and more convenient.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The IRobot Roomba 105 Combo works great! It has strong suction, smart navigation, and easy app control. I love the auto-empty dock because it seves time, and the mopping feature helps keep my floors clean. It’s simple to use and very helpful for everyday cleaning.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have laminate flooring throughout most of my house with a mix of different sized areas rugs. Two of the rugs are the thin, washable kind and aren't held down with grippers, so I was pretty sure this thing would bunch them up the way my upright vacuum does. It doesn't. That was probably my biggest worry going in.
Set up was easy, and it mapped my house accurately on the first try. The automated schedule makes the vacuum run on its own. I just have to make sure I pick up all the pet toys so they don't get wrapped around the brush. The Roomba does stop running when that happens, to prevent further tangling.
I set the dock on laminate, and the Roomba has to immediately climb onto a thicker rug to get going. It fumbled with that a little at first, but now does it without hesitation. It transitions easily from laminate to rug and back, as well as over transition strips between rooms. The side brush does a decent job getting along walls and furniture edges, too.
Vacuum performance is good on laminate, where it picks up pet hair and dust as well as my upright vacuum. On rugs, it's okay. When the mop pad is attached, it drags across the rugs, and pet hair sticks to it. It might not clean as well as I do, but it's nice to wake up to cleaner floors than when I went to bed.
My main frustration is with the app, not the vacuum itself. Once it learns to route around a piece of furniture, it doesn't adjust well if that item gets moved. Right now, the best fix I've found is to build a whole new map, and that doesn't seem efficient for things that get moved often. There is a spot clean mode that will cover a small area, but by the time I pull up the app and send the vacuum over there, I could have just cleaned the area myself.
It is loud, and when it goes back to empty its bin, that noise can catch you off guard if you're not expecting it. It "talks" to tell you what it's doing, but honestlythe vacuum is too loud for me to hear what it's saying most of the time. Though loud, the self-emptying feature is one of my favorite things about the Roomba because I don't have to constantly deal with emptying the vacuum.
Changed Suctions Automatically Depending on Surface

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Roomba 105 Combo Vacuum &Mop with the AutoEmpty Dock is truly a game changer! My Roomba helps eliminate dust, dog and cat hair and dander in between my regular vacuuming. My Roomba changes her suction power depending on what type of surface she is on and seems to get everywhere before “ending her shift”. The Roomba does give you a play by play, such as she will tell you when she is going to empty or recharge, but it is hard to hear her over the vacuum sounds. The mopping feature is pretty cool, but does leave the floor pretty wet- I am not complaining, just something to be aware of so no one slips and falls. I did originally think it was mop and vacuum at the same time as the Roomba would detect which surface needs what, but you do have to put the mop pad on if you want her to mop and she will only mop. What a great invention! I am super happy! Thanks Roomba Combo!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] So far, it works great! It gets under the beds and dressers easily-places not vacuumed all the time. It washes well. It's pretty light-weight, but durable! Easy to empty the canister after it self-empties itself! Love that it does all of the work for me without me having to do anything but turn it on! Definitely a great product.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Works so amazing especially since I have a pet at home that sheds a lot. Any spots that need some deeper cleaning can also be done with the roombas mop attachment. It is very detailed and goes over every corner. Setup was fast as well (just connect to your wifi and set up a map of your living space). Size is compact and easy to hide in any corner.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Thia robot become my right hand. its incredible smart, picks up dirt really well and cleans thoroughly. on a single charge, it can clean two large rooms. best of all,after every cleaning session, it automatically returns to its docking station and empties itself. its also very compact and doesn’t take up much space. in one word, it’s the best gift ever.
