With so many Roomba models available, figuring out which one actually fits your home can be a confusing process. If you’re looking for a robot vacuum without a built-in mop (whether you have mostly carpet, prefer a dedicated mop for tougher messes, or don’t want the hassle of refilling water tanks and cleaning mop pads), the iRobot Roomba Max 705 robot vacuum is a top contender. Right now, it’s 45% off at its lowest price ever of $499 (originally $899.99).
The Roomba Max 705 doesn’t list suction power, but it describes itself as having “180x more suction than the 600 Series.” Anti-tangle rubber brushes keep pet and human hair from getting wrapped up, while a “Carpet Boost” setting kicks things up a notch on soft flooring. It uses LiDAR navigation and AI object recognition to get around objects and identify larger messes, as well as automatically repeating cleaning passes where needed.
Using the Roomba Home app, users can choose specific rooms or zones (as well as no-go zones), choose from four suction levels, and do a more thorough clean in certain areas of the home. An auto-emptying dock holds up to 75 days of dust and debris, while the enclosed disposable bags and filters capture particles as small as 0.7 microns.
Ultimately, if you’re a pet owner or have a carpet-heavy home, the hands-off iRobot Roomba Max 705 robot vacuum can get the job done using a combination of LiDAR mapping and AI obstacle avoidance with a highly customizable app. If you don’t need a robot that mops, skipping that feature also means paying much less than many premium combo models while still getting one of iRobot’s most capable options.
