iRobot Roomba Combo 10 Max robot + AutoWash dock vs Shark PowerDetect ThermaCharged RV2920XE

Full Robot Vacuums comparison in 2026

Updated September 2026
Data from Amazon and official iRobot and Shark sites.
2026 verdict
The Shark PowerDetect ThermaCharged RV2920XE is the safer buy in this robot vacuum comparison, ahead on runtime, warranty, onboard bin capacity and owner reception.
It cleans for about 180 minutes per charge against the iRobot Roomba Combo 10 Max robot + AutoWash dock's 120, holds 379ml on board against 300ml, and is covered for 2 years rather than 1. Reliability is the real separator: iRobot's own listing for the Combo 10 Max carries recurring complaints after the first few weeks, while the Shark's record with owners is steadier. The iRobot Roomba Combo 10 Max robot + AutoWash dock keeps two clear advantages, a lower price and much wider smart-home reach, adding Apple HomeKit, Home Assistant, IFTTT and Matter plus Bluetooth, where the Shark stops at Alexa, Google Home and 2.4GHz Wi-Fi. Both self-empty and both wash and dry the mop at the base (AutoWash against NeverTouch Pro). Pick the Roomba when HomeKit, Matter or IFTTT is essential, and the Shark PowerDetect ThermaCharged RV2920XE when longevity and a longer charge matter more.

The Shark PowerDetect ThermaCharged RV2920XE, on roughly 180 minutes of runtime against 120, a 2 year warranty against 1, a 379ml onboard bin against 300ml and a stronger owner reception. The iRobot Roomba Combo 10 Max robot + AutoWash dock wins on price and on smart-home breadth.
