iRobot Roomba Plus 515 Combo: review
The Roomba Plus 515 Combo sits in the middle of the Plus series: 22,000 Pa of suction, an AutoWash dock that washes and dries at 60 °C, for 399 €. A spec sheet consistent with its price positioning, with no notable anomaly against its neighbors.
Verdict at a glance
A well-equipped compact, midway between the Plus 575 (pricier, more powerful, with an AI camera) and the Plus 415 (cheaper, slightly less powerful). For once, the price gap with both neighbors is consistent with the performance gap.

- ClearView™ LiDAR
- DualClean™ rotating mop pads (180 rpm), automatic 10 mm lift on carpet
- AutoWash™ dock: wash and dry at 60 °C
- 21% slimmer design to fit under more furniture
✕ Cons

- Battery not disclosed
- Wash/dry temperature (60 °C) lower than the Plus 575’s (75 °C)
