According to our robot vacuum expert
The self-cleaning mopping pad always keeps itself wet, so the robot mops your floor extra thoroughly without leaving stripes.
The robot vacuum covers the mop when it detects carpet, so you can be sure your carpet doesn't get wet.
In the cleaning station, the robot independently prepares itself for the next cleaning round without any effort from you.
The base station is relatively large, so it takes up some space in your home.

Upon unboxing the iRobot, the vacuum cleaner makes a good impression. Everything is neatly packed, including enough parts to perform maintenance for a good period. Simple instructions are included to quickly set up the robot ready for use. The first impression is reasonably positive, although I did notice that the vacuum cleaner is quite tall, especially when compared to the latest models from other brands.
I had already installed the app before my order was delivered. The new iRobot app is not my favorite. It all feels a bit illogical and disorganized. The map looks fine once the robot has completed the mapping round. However, I had to reset the app multiple times to be able to add furniture. The app kept showing a white screen. I read a few things about this online, so I don't seem to be the only one who encountered this. After resetting it a few times, it became visible, and since then, it has worked without problems. However, the robot did add an ‘extra room’ which does not exist, but which I cannot remove under any circumstances. It does allow splitting or merging, but unfortunately, the app does not permit deletion here.
Connecting the robot to Wi-Fi was difficult. The robot kept giving error messages about being unable to connect to the network. After looking up the error code, it appeared to be related to special characters in the Wi-Fi password. Although this immediately resolved the issue, meaning the error code is accurate and useful, I find it somewhat outdated that such a device struggles with special characters in a password. Hopefully, iRobot can change this via a software update.
The first mapping went well without collisions. Different floor types were no problem, and the thresholds between different rooms were also driven over fairly easily (low thresholds). The app shows exactly where the robot is driving and what it is doing. Perhaps not important, but personally, I always find that handy. What I do miss, however, is an indication of what the robot encounters when something is in the way. My other robot displays a symbol on the app with a photo. The iRobot does nothing with this. In terms of vacuuming performance, I have to praise the iRobot. The floor, even on the carpet, is virtually free of dust and dog hair after the vacuuming round. The device navigates neatly and drives reasonably tightly around items on the floor. It even managed to leave my accidentally left-behind USB cable in place.
So far, I must say that I am surprised and enthusiastic about the iRobot. Until I started testing the mopping function. It started well. The robot found its own route well without any strange diagonal maneuvers. It started with the outermost edges of the house to then ‘fill in’. That is also where the problem started immediately. Not only were all existing stains left behind, but the robot also managed to create new stains. Streaks, stains, foam, puddles of water, drops. I had to cancel the robot's task to go and fix the floor myself. I made multiple attempts because iRobot itself indicates that the streaks are diminishing. I absolutely do not have the experience that it is getting better. Maybe I have a Monday morning model when it comes to the mop, but I found it shockingly bad.
Would I recommend the product or not? If it is mainly about vacuuming and with the hope that iRobot can improve the mopping somewhat via firmware, I would dare to recommend it if a substantial discount on the recommended retail price were available. The potential certainly seems to be there. The mop extends and gets into corners reasonably well. However, something seems to go completely wrong with the settings regarding detergent and water. The app could also use some improvement, and hopefully they can increase the volume of the robot's voice a bit. In my experience, the dock makes too much noise when it is in the area where you are sitting (living room, kitchen). If the dock could be placed further away, this would not be a major problem.

I have had the Roomba 705 with Autodock in my home for a few weeks now. I have hidden the Roomba in a corner behind the sofa. The recommendation is to place it 1.5 meters from stairs or half a meter from the wall. However, I didn't want the Roomba to be visible, so I tried placing it against a wall. The Roomba has no problem with this and can easily find its way to start cleaning on its own. The first time, you have to install the app. This really takes some getting used to at first and isn't that easy, but after half an hour, the Roomba makes its first round to create a map. Once the map is created, you can automate everything regarding when the Roomba should start cleaning. You can set vacuuming and/or mopping and how often for each room. This is handy so that the Roomba does its work when you are not present and are not bothered by the noise. The sound of the Roomba itself is not that disturbing, but emptying the vacuum into the Autodock does make a lot of noise. It is useful to set a zone where the Roomba is not allowed to go. For instance, the first time it accidentally knocked over a pot (which was on a wobbly little table). This zone has now been set as an area where the Roomba is no longer allowed to enter. Furthermore, the Roomba recognizes obstacles very well. For instance, the Roomba stops at a small part of a table leg, but ensures that the brushes go around the leg. This way, the table leg does not get damaged, but the cleaning is done thoroughly. Thresholds of 1 cm are also no problem. In addition, the Roomba reaches all corners and especially cleans well along the sides of the baseboard. Previously, dust would sometimes accumulate there, but since getting the Roomba, everything is dust-free. The vacuum cleaner's suction power is excellent! The mopping power is also okay; however, cleaning solution is left behind in droplet form. This causes stains. The roller also leaves streaks on the floor. I find this unfortunate. I am not yet completely satisfied with the mop. However, the Roomba does draw the mop in well when there is carpet in the house. This way, it vacuums more powerfully (the Roomba recognizes the surface) rather than mopping. It is ideal that it recognizes this automatically. This can also be adjusted via the app. The Roomba saves me a lot of work around the house. Especially thanks to the auto-dock feature, which allows it to continuously empty itself and clean the mop. I am very happy with the device, although the mopping function could still be a bit better.

I have been using this robot vacuum for a few months and I am very happy with it. The automatic closing system is perfect, and it is also very accurate; it creates its own maps. It cleans well. Just be careful with too much detergent! A very good purchase.
