Best iRobot robot vacuum: our 2026 rankings
Our rankings apply the same public grid to every iRobot model we track — from 199 € to 799 €. The result is a familiar one, but worth repeating: the most expensive robot isn’t necessarily the one to buy.
The verdict, in one sentence
The Max 775 Combo is objectively the most powerful (30,000 Pa). The Plus 575 Combo at 449 € remains our best buy (9.0/10) — for 350 € less, at 83% of the power.
iRobot Roomba Plus 575 Combo
25,000 Pa and the same LiDAR + AI navigation as the flagship, for 449 €: the best suction-to-price ratio of the entire lineup.
449 €
1. iRobot Roomba Plus 575 Combo — the best buy
Rating: 9.0/10 · 449 €
✓ Pros
- 25,000 Pa: 83% of the Max 775 Combo’s power for 44% of its price
- ClearView™ Pro LiDAR + PrecisionVision™ AI, identical to the flagship
- AutoWash™ dock: 75 °C wash, 45 °C dry
- The best features-to-price ratio of the entire lineup
✕ Cons
- Battery not disclosed
- Dock emptying interval not specified
Who is it for? The vast majority of households: mixed flooring, standard daily use. It’s the sweet spot of the entire iRobot lineup.
Skip it if… absolute maximum suction is non-negotiable: the Max 775 Combo still suctions 20% more.
| Maximum suction | 25 000 Pa |
|---|---|
| Navigation | ClearView™ Pro LiDAR + PrecisionVision™ AI |
| Mopping | Serpillières DualClean™ rotatives (180 tr/min), relevage automatique sur tapis |
| Dock | AutoWash™ : lavage 75 °C, séchage 45 °C |
| Battery | Not disclosed |
2. iRobot Roomba Max 775 Combo — the most complete
Rating: 8.8/10 · 799 €
✓ Pros
- 30,000 Pa, the highest suction in the lineup
- AutoWash™ dock: emptying interval up to 3 months
- Spec sheet with no data gaps, aside from battery
✕ Cons
- 350 € more than the Plus 575 Combo for a limited performance gain
Who is it for? Households that want maximum suction and the longest emptying interval, regardless of cost.
3. iRobot Roomba Plus 515 Combo — the well-equipped compact
Rating: 8.3/10 · 399 €
22,000 Pa and a dock that washes at 60 °C, without the Plus 575’s PrecisionVision AI camera. A sound choice if the AI camera isn’t a deciding factor.
4. iRobot Roomba Plus 415 Combo — the Plus series entry point
Rating: 8.0/10 · 329 €
The cheapest combo to offer fully automated mop washing (20,000 Pa, AutoWash dock). The most rational entry point into the Plus series.
5. iRobot Roomba 115 Combo — the best small budget
Rating: 7.5/10 · 199 €
15,000 Pa for 199 € with an AutoEmpty base included: the best suction-to-price ratio in the entire catalog, at any price. The trade-off is more basic mopping (a hand-washed pad).
6. iRobot Roomba Mini — compactness above all
Rating: 6.5/10 · 269 €
The most compact model in the lineup (245 mm), but also the lowest rated: 7,000 Pa for 269 €, both pricier and half as powerful as the 115 Combo. A choice only justifiable by space constraints.

If you’re still unsure
The right iRobot depends on your home and your budget, not just the rankings. A large home with a comfortable budget doesn’t have the same needs as a studio buying its first robot.
