Expert review by : David Ludlow (trustedreviews.com)
Some smart features, but the iRobot Roomba Combo 10 Max is a frustrating product that's not quite powerful enough and it leaves floors wet.
Can move over carpets without wetting them ; Jobs make common tasks quick to start
Leaves floors (and robot) wet ; Suction power is behind other robots ; Confusing to use
A combination of the clever and the frustrating, the iRobot Roomba Combo 10 Max doesn’t quite cut it as a high-end robot vacuum cleaner and mop. Its camera-based navigation system, while good at avoiding common obstacles, is slow to map; the mopping...

The first robot vacuum to truly deserve its title? Yes indeed.
Excellent navigation system ; Good cleaning across all surfaces ; Simple scheduling system ; Doesn't damage objects it passes over ; Quieter than rivals
You will still need to vacuum occasionally ; Can bump doors, locking itself in rooms ; Expensive solution to a simple task
Expert review by : Ruth Hamilton (techradar.com)
A cheap and cheerful robot vacuum and mop that's good at the basics
Super-affordable ; Good suction for the price ; Very decent mopping ; Well built, thoughtful design ; Very compact dock ; Low profile to get under furniture
Minimal customization options ; Erratic navigation and behavior ; No auto-empty base option ; Mopping areas must be sectioned off
The very basic, budget-friendly Roomba Combo Essential delivers good suction and even better mopping capabilities for a very affordable price. You're limited in terms of customization options, and what you can control remotely; but if you have a small...

The iRobot Roomba 780 is the maker's latest futuristic robot cleaner
Dust busting abilities ; Tenacious cleaning ; Reaches unsightly areas
Price ; Issues with loose rugs ; Slightly loud
Expert review by : Rachel Ogden (techadvisor.co.uk)
iRobot's first multifunction dock and some beefed-up tech together create this feature-rich mopping robot vacuum. But does performance justify price?

Thanks to its pioneering functionality, Roomba 780 comes up to the expectations of sophisticated users.
Expert review by : Matt Warman (telegraph.co.uk)
The Roomba is a robotic vacuum cleaner that's no gimmick, says Matt Warman.
The key question, then, is whether a Roomba is worth the money. Assuming (unkindly) that it lasts just two years and costs £300 more than its manual equivalent, then if you do a half an hour’s vacuuming a week, then it equates to roughly a £6 charge...
Expert review by : Nigel Whitfield (reghardware.co.uk)
Review The Roomba is the most widely known of the robot cleaners, and with competition mounting, the company, iRobot, has not been sitting on its laurels. The Roomba 780 is the latest model, and boasts a larger collecting bin, built in scheduling and...
It’s quieter than the competition, and does a pretty good job; the addition of HEPA filters is welcome, as are iRobot’s claims to have improved battery longevity by 50 per cent. But like all robot cleaners, for a really deep clean, you'll still need a...
Expert review by : Gerald Lynch (techdigest.tv)
The future promised a lot, and while robot butlers and hovercars are still pipe-dreams, robot vacuum cleaners are very much a reality. Hot on the heels of its IFA 2011 unveiling, Tech Digest got to spend some quality time with our very own clean-freak...
It's a bit of a stretch to call a vacuum cleaner fun, but we have to admit the iRobot Roomba 780 did raise a fair few smiles. From its charming robot voice and nifty touch-sensitive control panel to its ability to drag stubborn cat fur out of our...
Expert review by : Andrew Gebhart (pcmag.com)
The Roomba Combo 10 Max + Auto Wash Dock can wash and dry its own mop pad, but it lags behind other high-end robot floor cleaners in vacuuming and scrubbing.
