iRobot's wallet-friendly Roomba that vacuums and mops in one pass.
At a glance
Pros
- + Trusted Roomba brand and app at a budget-friendly price
- + Vacuums and mops in a single pass with 3 suction and 3 water levels
- + Cleans in tidy neat rows rather than random bouncing
- + Low-profile design slides under furniture easily
Cons
- − No self-empty base and no HEPA filtration
- − Basic navigation lacks LiDAR mapping and obstacle avoidance
- − Small mop coverage area needs frequent refills
Our verdict
A solid entry-level pick for first-time buyers or small apartments wanting Roomba reliability cheaply. Step up to a mapping model if you have a larger or cluttered home.
