iRobot Roomba 705X vs iRobot Roomba Plus 515 Combo Robot + AutoWash Dock

What owners say

Owners of the iRobot Roomba Plus 515 Combo Robot + AutoWash Dock lead with the vacuuming: 22000Pa that lifts pet hair off wood, tile, vinyl and low rugs, an accurate LiDAR map, and a battery that covers a full floor before it returns to recharge. They appreciate the AutoWash dock for emptying the bin and heat-drying the mop pads, and the app for room selection and no-go zones. Their warnings are about mopping, which they rate only decent, the round pads that can snag on cords or pop off, a dirty water tank that smells if not emptied promptly, and a loud self-emptying cycle. Many also mention the 2.4 GHz-only setup as the first hurdle, and a handful returned the unit over the connection alone.
