Quick answer

You have a large house
From 20,000 Pa upward, suction genuinely lifts embedded dust across large surfaces. The Max 775 Combo (799 €, 30,000 Pa) is the most powerful in the lineup, with a dock that lasts up to 3 months without intervention — useful when the area to cover is large and traffic is frequent.
On a tighter budget, the Plus 575 Combo (449 €, 25,000 Pa) already covers the vast majority of large homes for 350 € less, with the same LiDAR + PrecisionVision AI navigation.

The Plus series is built for exactly this: each price tier (329 €, 399 €, 449 €) corresponds to a real suction tier (20,000, 22,000, 25,000 Pa), with no major anomaly among the three. Our pick: the Plus 575 Combo, which adds the PrecisionVision AI camera for a reasonable premium.
You have a small budget
The 115 Combo at 199 € suctions at 15,000 Pa 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, washed by hand rather than in an automatic dock.
A useful warning at this budget: don’t be tempted by the Roomba Mini (269 €) thinking “a bit pricier, probably a bit better.” It’s the opposite: the Mini suctions half as hard (7,000 Pa) as the 115 Combo, for 70 € more.
You have a very compact space, with low furniture
The Roomba Mini (269 €, 245 mm in diameter) is the only model in our selection designed specifically for this footprint. It’s a deliberate trade-off for compactness, not for performance: its suction (7,000 Pa) remains the lowest in the lineup we track.
You want a budget combo with automatic mop washing
The Plus 415 Combo at 329 € is the cheapest combo in the lineup with a dock that washes and dries the mop pad automatically — a function the cheaper 115 Combo doesn’t have.
The budget question
A useful benchmark: between the 115 Combo (199 €) and the Plus 575 Combo (449 €), the price gap mostly buys fully automated mopping and significantly stronger suction. Beyond 450 €, you’re mainly paying for the Max 775 Combo’s maximum suction — real value only if your home actually calls for it.

Frequently asked questions
Which iRobot should you choose for a large house?
The Max 775 Combo (799 €) if your budget allows it: 30,000 Pa and an AutoWash dock that lasts up to 3 months. On a tighter budget, the Plus 575 Combo (449 €, 25,000 Pa) already covers the vast majority of large homes.
Which iRobot for a small budget?
The 115 Combo (199 €): 15,000 Pa with an AutoEmpty base included, the best suction-to-price ratio in the entire lineup. Avoid the Roomba Mini (269 €) at a similar budget: it suctions half as hard for 70 € more.
Which iRobot for a very compact space with low furniture?
The Roomba Mini (269 €), currently the only iRobot model in our selection with such a small footprint (245 mm in diameter). It’s a deliberate trade-off of suction (7,000 Pa) in favor of size.
Do you need an iRobot with automatic mop washing?
Yes, if you mop often: a mop pad that isn’t washed and dried automatically just redistributes dirt. The entire Plus series (415, 515, 575) and the Max 775 offer it; the 115 Combo and the Mini require hand-washing or a disposable pad.
