2026 verdict
For a large home that wants the dock to do nearly everything, the iRobot Roomba Max 775 Combo Robot + AutoWash Dock is the better of these two iRobot combo robots.
The iRobot Roomba Max 775 Combo Robot + AutoWash Dock wins on rating and battery life, and on the spec sheet it pairs 30,000 Pa of suction with an AutoWash dock that empties, washes, dries and dispenses detergent automatically, with the mop lifting on carpet. The iRobot Roomba Combo 10 Max robot + AutoWash dock counters with the lower price and a faster 3 hour recharge, but it navigates with a camera that needs the lights on rather than LiDAR. Choose the iRobot Roomba Max 775 Combo Robot + AutoWash Dock for the stronger, longer-running machine; choose the iRobot Roomba Combo 10 Max robot + AutoWash dock if price leads and you can keep the lights on.

What the differences mean
Navigation
The iRobot Roomba Combo 10 Max robot + AutoWash dock uses a camera (VSLAM) and needs the lights on to navigate, which owners say makes it struggle in the dark. The iRobot Roomba Max 775 Combo Robot + AutoWash Dock uses LiDAR, so it maps and cleans with the lights off.
Recharge time
The iRobot Roomba Combo 10 Max robot + AutoWash dock recharges in about 3 hours and the iRobot Roomba Max 775 Combo Robot + AutoWash Dock in about 6, so the cheaper machine gets back to work sooner after a top-up.
Detergent dispensing
The iRobot Roomba Max 775 Combo Robot + AutoWash Dock doses cleaning solution automatically from its dock. The iRobot Roomba Combo 10 Max robot + AutoWash dock has no automatic dispenser, so any detergent goes into the tank by hand.
Body height
The iRobot Roomba Combo 10 Max robot + AutoWash dock is 86 mm tall and the iRobot Roomba Max 775 Combo Robot + AutoWash Dock 105 mm, so the cheaper one slips under lower furniture while the taller one is blocked by lower sofas.
Battery life

What owners say
Owners of the iRobot Roomba Combo 10 Max robot + AutoWash dock describe the same split the reviews do: when the unit behaves, the AutoWash dock is a genuine convenience, emptying the bin, washing and drying the pad and refilling water, and the mapping is accurate enough to trust around clutter. They praise the quieter runs, with only a brief loud self-empty, and the broad smart home support, with one owner running it through Apple HomeKit for weeks without trouble. The warnings are just as consistent: failures that start after a few weeks, jobs that stop partway, the robot losing its dock, recurring bin and dirty-water errors, and a camera that needs light to navigate. Several also note the mop is more of a wet wipe than a scrub and that the pad can turn musty.
