iRobot Roomba 115 Combo: review
The Roomba 115 Combo suctions at 15,000 Pa for 199 € with an AutoEmpty base included — the best suction-to-price ratio in the entire iRobot lineup we track. The trade-off: its mop pad is hand-washed, not dock-washed.
Verdict at a glance
An honest entry-level combo, with solid suction for its price and automatic emptying included. The trade-off on automatic mopping is a conscious one, but stays consistent with its price positioning.
✓ Pros
- 15,000 Pa suction for 199 €, the best ratio in the iRobot lineup we track
- AutoEmpty™ base included at this price
- ClearView™ LiDAR, SmartScrub mode for stains
- Cheaper and far more powerful than the Roomba Mini
✕ Cons
- Hand-washed pad, no automatic in-dock washing
- Battery not disclosed
- No documented automatic lift on carpet, unlike the Plus series
Who is it for?
A first combo robot, for a tight budget, without a requirement for fully automated mopping.
Skip it if…
Automatic mop washing is a deciding factor: the Plus 415 Combo, 130 € more, includes it with a full AutoWash dock.

Against the pricier Roomba Mini (269 €), the 115 Combo dominates on suction (15,000 Pa versus 7,000 Pa) — an anomaly we break down in our full comparison. Against the Plus 415 Combo, the 130 € gap buys automatic in-dock washing.

Frequently asked questions
Does the Roomba 115 Combo wash its mop pad automatically?
No. The removable washable pad has to be taken out and washed by hand: unlike the Plus series’ AutoWash docks, the 115 Combo’s AutoEmpty base only empties the dustbin.
Is the 115 Combo a better buy than the Roomba Mini at the same budget?
At 199 €, yes, by a wide margin: the 115 Combo suctions at 15,000 Pa versus 7,000 Pa for the Mini, which still costs 70 € more (269 €). On paper, the 115 Combo beats the Mini on most criteria for less money.
