iRobot Announces Roomba Max 705 Combo with Roller Mopping

iRobot introduced Roomba Max 705 Combo on July 22, 2025, adding a roller-based vacuum-and-mop system to its refreshed product range. The launch announcement opened European presales at EUR 1,099 and scheduled North American and Japanese introductions for later in the year.

The robot's PowerSpin roller is continuously washed during cleaning and extends toward room edges. A protective cover is designed to isolate the wet roller when the robot crosses carpet. That arrangement addresses a practical challenge for combination cleaners working between hard floors and rugs.

Navigation combines ClearView Pro LiDAR with camera-based PrecisionVision obstacle recognition. iRobot described recognition of everyday objects such as toys and cords, alongside pet-waste avoidance. The AutoWash dock handles dust emptying, heated mop washing and drying, water refilling and station self-cleaning.

Users can manage schedules, room selection and exclusion zones through the Roomba Home App. The model's features and regional rollout distinguish it from the Max 705 Vac, a separate vacuum-only product introduced earlier in 2025. For buyers comparing the two, the Combo name identifies a substantially different cleaning system and dock package, rather than simply a new accessory for the vacuum-only robot.
