[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This had made cleaning so much easier!! I love that it both vacuums and mops so my floor is always fresh without me having to do everything myself.
The navigation is smooth and it cleans in neat organized rows instead of bumping around. the size is perfect and it cleans really well it gets full of hair and debris.. super convenient low maintenance and charging last a lot!!
its not to heavy either but enough to clean your house! highly recommend this

Hugs the corners, easy to program!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Absolutely love the LiDAR technology since i have both carpet and tile, making it able to detect when to mop or just vacuum. It hugs the walls and corners very tightly which is pretty impressive and its not loud on deep cleaning mode which is a plus for me. You can easily program the roomba to clean on a set schedule and even map certain areas you'd like it to steer clear from. I do love the removable mop and dust tray to prevent buildup. It cleans pretty good and is great for maintaining your home clean!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This robot vacuum does a solid job picking up everyday dirt and hair, and I love that you don’t have to empty the bin as often thanks to the dust-compacting feature. It’s great for basic vacuuming on floors and low pile carpets.

Lifesaver !
on February 26, 2026

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have always wanted a roomba or a self vacuuming robot. I received the iRobot Roomba 205 and was sooo excited! Being a mom of 3 messes around the house get stressful and sometimes I don’t have time to vacuum as often as I would like. I usually vacuum and mop 3x a day because having toddlers is not for the weak. This vacuum has been a lifesaver. I love that it also has a mop mode so I don’t have to stress of mopping all the time on top of vacuuming. This little machine is quick around the house and I love that you can control it from your phone. It was pretty simple to set up, the only issue I had was trouble shooting the app because it made me add the vacuum a couple times till it finally accepted it as mine. The capacity for it last a while, I have yet to empty the debris but I will be shocked if it last a few months with the messes my kids make. Overall I am absolutely impressed and beyond happy with my new little roomba!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] it’s basically a robot with a tiny garbage truck inside! Instead of having a huge, bulky self-empty dock taking up space in my hallway, this one just compacts the dirt right inside the machine. I’ve gone over a month without emptying it, and it still has room for more—it’s genuinely impressive.
The vacuuming power is excellent, and it handles pet hair easily. However, I will say the mopping is more of a light "wipe" than a deep scrub, and since it uses LiDAR, it’s great at mapping but can still get a bit "aggressive" with things like loose cables or thin rugs. If you live in a smaller apartment where every square foot counts and you want to "ditch the dock," this is the smartest solution out there!

Amazing little helper

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’ve been using the Roomba 205 Dust Compactor Combo Robot from iRobot for a few times,it has made keeping my floors clean so much easier. What really stands out is the dust compactor feature. Unlike my previous robot vacuum,this one compresses the dirt inside,so i din’t have to empty the bin nearly as often. I have a mix of hardwood floors and area rugs,and it handles both very well. It picks up dust,pet hair and crumbs without any problem,and the suction feels strong and consistent.The combo vacuum and moo function is so very convenient. The mopping is great for light cleaning and daily maintenance. It won’t replace a deep manual mop,but it keeps my floors looking fresh and reduces buildup between deeper cleans. Navigation has been impressive, it maps my home accurately and avoids furniture and obstacles most of the time. It also returns to the dock reliably and resumes cleaning where it left off,which is very helpful. The app is easy to use and I like being able to schedule cleanings or start it remotely. Ot runs fairly quietly compared to other robot vacuums I’ve owned

Good little gadget!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I am so excited to have this product since I am someone with shedding pets!
The charging port is so convenient and small that it fits perfectly in my apartment. The roomba knows right where to go after cleanup.
The navigation is a bit of a learning curve but easy enough to use through the app and once you figure it out, you’re golden.
I don’t have another device to compare it to but it sure as heck beats using my standing vacuum every day!
I will say it is pretty loud, though so I can only use it during the day. I do wish there was an option to turn off or at least lower the voice that comes through the vacuum.
Another key point to be made is that you do have to remove the dustpan on this model but that is a very easy thing to do luckily
