iRobot Roomba Combo 10 Max Review: Not quite good enough
Apr 18, 2025
Some clever features, but this robot can’t compete with other flagship cleaners.
A combination of the clever and the frustrating, the iRobot Roomba Combo 10 Max doesn’t quite cut it as a high-end robot vacuum cleaner and mop. Its camera-based navigation system, while good at avoiding common obstacles, is slow to map; the mopping pad can lift and tuck out of the way, but it leaves the floor and the top of the robot wet; and cleaning power, both in vacuuming and mopping, was behind the competition.
Can move over carpets without wetting them
Jobs make common tasks quick to start
Leaves floors (and robot) wet
Suction power is behind other robots
Confusing to use
Key Features
Cleaning and mopping
Can vacuum and mop, with a self-empty and self-cleaning station.
Mop lift
It’s mop can lift up and tuck out of the way, allowing the robot to move over any carpet.
Introduction
This is the last of the iRobot vacuum cleaners to use camera-based navigation rather than LiDAR, with new models on the horizon. However, the iRobot Roomba Combo 10 Max will be one of the company’s flagship cleaners, which is why I have it on review.
A mixture of the somewhat brilliant and the downright frustrating, the iRobot Roomba Combo 10 Max feels like a product that’s out of its time. It’s expensive and doesn’t live up to the quality of its main rivals.
