iRobot Roomba Combo

Most iRobot Roombas have a high price but the iRobot Roomba Combo is more affordable. So if you want an iRobot Roomba but don’t have enough money, the iRobot Roomba Combo might be an excellent choice for you.

The word "Combo" in the iRobot Roomba Combo means that it is a combination of vacuum and mop. It can vacuum and sweep at the same time which results in efficient cleaning. The mopping function is equipped with an electronically controlled pump which means it can produce the same dampness throughout the room and prevent water leaks. However, like most robot vacuums, it cannot thoroughly clean tough stains because robot vacuums cannot exert pressure on the floor. The mopping function of the iRobot Roomba Combo is great if you want to maintain your floors shiny and clean.

You don’t have to worry about refilling the water tank of the iRobot Roomba Combo while it is cleaning because it doesn’t have a small water tank. The water tank has a capacity of 0,3 L compared to other slightly more expensive robot vacuums, such as the Ecovacs Deebot Ozmo 920 with a 0,24 L water tank and the Roborock S6 Pure with a 0,18 L water tank.

An advantage of not having a smart navigation system is that it is cheaper and has a lower height since it doesn’t have a laser turret on top. Having a lower height means that the iRobot Roomba Combo can clean under the bed, sofa, or cabinet where most dirt accumulates.

However, it doesn’t give you an assurance that it can thoroughly clean your room. The iRobot Roomba Combo might clean an area more than once and completely ignore other areas. It also bumps into chair legs frequently since it doesn’t detect them as an obstacle. But if you live in a small house or an apartment, the iRobot Roomba Combo can thoroughly clean your home.

You can control the iRobot Roomba Combo through its designated app and voice integration (Alexa and Google Assistant). You can also manually control it by pressing the button on top of the robot vacuum itself if you are having problems with connecting it to the internet. But it is only limited to starting and stopping the robot vacuum so if you want more control over the robot vacuum, it is better to connect it to the app.

Overall, the iRobot Roomba Combo is great for those who are on a tight budget and live in a small house or apartment. It might lack a lot of features compared to other high-end iRobot Roombas but you get what you pay for.
