iRobot Roomba Combo 10 Max

Verdict

The Roomba Combo 10 Max offers very strong vacuuming, thoughtful pet-friendly design, and a convenient auto-wash dock that empties, refills, and services the mop for you. It is a strong choice for pet owners and busy households that want reliable cleaning with minimal effort, though its app is less customizable than some rivals and its mopping, while decent, is not the most advanced on the market.

Pros

  • Hair Pickup — Carpets 1 review 5.0
  • Suction & Airflow 2 reviews 4.8
    Reviews describe the Combo 10 Max as an exceptionally strong vacuum, picking up all types and sizes of debris on hard floors and carpets and delivering top-tier deep-cleaning performance.
  • Pet-Ready Features 3 reviews 4.7
    Dual rubber brushes and a four-stage cleaning system are engineered to manage pet hair effectively, with recent tests showing perfect scores for carpet pet-hair pickup, and the robot is designed to avoid pet messes during runs.
  • Carpet — Medium-Pile Pickup 1 review 4.5
  • Obstacle Avoidance (Robot) 2 reviews 4.0
    The Combo 10 Max uses an RGB camera and light to deliver above-average obstacle avoidance, successfully dodging most common floor hazards though it still makes occasional mistakes.
  • Edge & Baseboard Cleaning (Hard Floors) 1 review 4.0
  • Mopping performance 3 reviews 3.7
    SmartScrub-style motion helps the Combo 10 Max scrub better than basic fixed pads for paw prints and everyday grime, but its non-spinning, non-vibrating pad and slightly below-average test scores mean overall mopping performance remains modest compared with newer flagship rivals.
  • Overall opinion 3 reviews 3.7
    Overall, the Combo 10 Max pairs excellent vacuuming and pet-hair pickup with a self-cleaning dock and SmartScrub mopping, but outdated navigation, middling mopping results, a noisy dock, and a somewhat limited app keep many reviewers from recommending it broadly outside of buyers who prioritize vacuum power and pet performance above everything else.
  • Self-cleaning cycle 3 reviews 3.5
    The auto-wash dock on the Combo 10 Max empties the bin and services the pad automatically, but the mop-washing cycle is noisy, leaves pads quite wet, and can create extra mess, raising concerns about long-term reliability.
