iRobot Roomba Max 705 Vac

★4.2(700 reviews)

iRobot's post-reboot flagship vacuum finally adopts ClearView Pro LiDAR and claims 180x the suction of the 600 series, keeping the dual rubber anti-tangle brushes and a 75-day AutoEmpty dock — vacuum only, no mop to fail.

Pros

  • ✓Strongest Roomba yet — dual rubber extractors still set the bar for pet hair on carpet
  • ✓LiDAR navigation finally works in the dark, unlike every camera-based j-series
  • ✓Obstacle avoidance is reliable day or night per owner reports
  • ✓210-minute runtime roughly doubles the old j-series
  • ✓Simpler vacuum-only design avoids the Combo's failure-prone mop dock

Cons

  • ✗Reddit sentiment is lukewarm (about 56% positive) — fine dust on dark hard floors is a known miss
  • ✗iRobot does not publish suction specs, making comparisons guesswork
  • ✗New Roomba Home app is slow and less polished than Roborock's
  • ✗iRobot's financial turmoil raises long-term support questions
  • ✗No mop at all when similarly priced rivals include full wash docks
