The Max 715 is vacuum-only but answers with the broader smart home, adding Apple Home, SmartThings, Home Assistant and Matter plus 5 GHz Wi-Fi, and with 30000Pa of suction against the 20000Pa of the iRobot Roomba 415X. Both self-empty into their dock, and the Max 715 does it from a much smaller footprint. Choose the Max 715 for vacuum-only homes in tight spaces, and the iRobot Roomba 415X for mopping and long runs.

What owners say

Owners of the iRobot Roomba 415X describe the routine they wanted: the AutoWash dock empties the bin and washes and heat-dries the mop pads, while the 20000Pa suction lifts pet hair and dust from hard floors and low rugs. They praise the low 84 mm body for reaching under beds and sofas and the quietness that lets them schedule it overnight. Their recurring complaints are the companion app, which they find rough around renaming rooms and error messages, and hair that tangles around the spinning mop module or roller and needs clearing every week or two. A few add that the mop itself does not scrub as hard as a hand pass on tough stains.
