iRobot Roomba robot vacuums: reviews, comparisons and 2026 buying guide
The entire iRobot range decoded, model by model.
iRobot splits its 2026 Roomba lineup into several families — Max, Plus, 100, Mini — whose prices don’t always track their performance. This site exists for one reason: to help you choose without losing your evening to it.

The best iRobot in 2026
The Roomba Max 775 Combo remains iRobot’s flagship: 30,000 Pa of suction, LiDAR combined with PrecisionVision AI, and an AutoWash dock that lasts up to 3 months. At 799 €, it’s also the most expensive model we track.
Yet it isn’t the one we recommend to most people.
Our actual recommendation
At 449 €, the Roomba Plus 575 Combo delivers 25,000 Pa of suction — 83% of the Max 775’s power — with the exact same LiDAR + PrecisionVision AI combination. It costs 350 € less than the flagship, for a much smaller performance gap.
Four families, four different answers
iRobot doesn’t build a linear lineup — it builds families that address distinct needs:
| Family | What it solves | Starting at |
|---|---|---|
| Max | Maximum suction (30,000 Pa) and a long-duration dock | 799 € |
| Plus | The best suction-to-price ratio, a full combo with AutoWash | 329 € |
| 100 | The entry-level combo, without automatic mop washing | 199 € |
| Mini | Compactness above all, not performance | 269 € |
So the real question isn’t “which is the best iRobot,” but “which is the best iRobot for you”: a household in a large home doesn’t have the same needs as a studio buying its first robot vacuum.

The anomaly nobody points out
The Roomba Mini costs more than the 115 Combo for half the suction. At 269 €, the Mini suctions at only 7,000 Pa with a single motorized brush. The 115 Combo, sold 70 € cheaper (199 €), suctions at 15,000 Pa.
That’s exactly the kind of gap iRobot’s naming makes hard to spot — and the reason this site exists.

How we work
We don’t claim to have taken apart all six robots in the catalog. Our method is different, and it’s public: manufacturer specs verified at the source, prices tracked regularly, documented comparative analysis. When iRobot doesn’t disclose a figure — the battery on every model in this selection, the AI camera on some Plus reviews — we say so instead of guessing.
Frequently asked questions
What is the best iRobot robot vacuum in 2026?
The Roomba Plus 575 Combo (449 €): 25,000 Pa, the same LiDAR + PrecisionVision AI navigation as the flagship Max 775, and a full AutoWash dock. It is our top pick across the lineup.
What is the difference between iRobot’s Max, Plus, 100 and Mini series?
The Max series is the flagship: maximum suction (30,000 Pa) and a long-duration dock. The Plus series (575, 515, 415) is the best-equipped vacuum-and-mop combo, with an AutoWash dock. The 100 series (115 Combo) is the entry-level combo, without automatic mop washing. The Mini is built around compactness, not performance.
Should you buy the most expensive Roomba?
Not necessarily. The Plus 575 Combo, at 449 €, earns our best rating despite costing 350 € less than the Max 775 — it already delivers 83% of its suction power, with the same navigation.
Where can you buy an iRobot at the best price?
The manufacturer price is a reference point, but Amazon regularly drops below it, especially during Prime Day, Black Friday and seasonal sales. Our prices and deals page details the target price for each model.
