iRobot Roomba Combo 10 Max robot + AutoWash dock vs iRobot Roomba Max 705 Combo

The iRobot Roomba Combo 10 Max robot + AutoWash dock edges it, being cheaper, running 120 minutes versus 75 and holding a slightly higher owner rating. The iRobot Roomba Max 705 Combo answers with LiDAR navigation, detergent dispensing and a 13000Pa suction rating.

Navigation. The Combo 10 Max uses a camera (VSLAM) that needs the lights on, while the Max 705 Combo uses LiDAR that maps in the dark. Beyond that, the Combo 10 Max is cheaper and runs longer, and the Max 705 Combo adds detergent mopping.

Yes. Both the iRobot Roomba Combo 10 Max and the iRobot Roomba Max 705 Combo vacuum and mop, self-empty, and wash and dry their mop pads at an AutoWash dock, so the core routine is the same.

The Combo 10 Max runs about 120 minutes on camera-based VSLAM, while the Max 705 Combo runs about 75 minutes on LiDAR. So the Combo 10 Max lasts longer per charge, but the Max 705 Combo maps more reliably in the dark.

Buy the Combo 10 Max if you want the lower price, longer runtime and slightly higher rating in a full vacuum-and-mop with a self-washing dock, and you have enough lighting for its camera navigation.

Choose the Max 705 Combo if you prefer LiDAR navigation that works in the dark, want detergent-assisted roller mopping and a 13000Pa suction rating, and you can accept shorter runtime and a lower rating.
