Buyers outside North America before local launch, or those wanting a bagless dock.
What the Roomba Max 875 Combo is
The Max 875 Combo is iRobot's most powerful robot to date and the flagship of its 2026 range, launched after the company's acquisition by Picea. It combines a sealed carpet-cleaning airflow system with a large roller mop and an AutoWash dock that washes and dries the roller.
Its design addresses both of iRobot's traditional strengths on carpet and the roller mopping that competitors have pushed into the premium segment.
Read the specifications correctly
iRobot lists 35,000 Pa of suction and 20 L/s of airflow. The SealForce skirt keeps airflow close to the carpet, and iRobot claims three times deeper carpet cleaning than vacuuming without it. Several other claims compare the 875 with earlier Roombas, such as 3.75x deeper scrubbing than the Roomba Max 775.
Those comparisons are useful inside iRobot's range but are not cross-brand measurements.

WCB interpretation: The 875 leads iRobot's range on suction and roller speed; Dyson's R3 competes on stain verification and a bagless dock.
Roborock Saros 20
A low-profile vacuum and mop with a lifting chassis for homes with difficult transitions.
View model
Dreame X60 Ultra
A slim vacuum and mop platform pairing high advertised suction with an automated mop-care dock.

iRobot Roomba Plus 678 Combo
A 30,000 Pa roller-mop Roomba with SprayForce AI stain pretreatment, a 45 mm edge-extending roller and a hot-water AutoWash dock.
View modelMaintenance and ownership
The dock washes the roller with 176°F water, dries it with 131°F air, doses StayClean concentrate and empties debris into a carbon AllergenLock bag rated for up to 90 days. Bags, concentrate and the roller are consumables.
Clean the dock's wash tray and check the dual anti-tangle brushes regularly; heated washing reduces but does not remove routine care.
