Description

Only from Roomba, the Roomba 205 DustCompactor Vac Robot is fully-loaded with innovation that keeps cleaning simple. The perfect vacuuming robot for homes where space is at a premium, this sleek, action-packed robot has all the benefits of a separate self-emptying dock built right into the robot. With the industry's first-ever mechanical compactor, debris is lifted into the robot and continuously compacted for up to 2 months at a time so you can keep your hands out of messes. The 3-stage Vacuuming System combines 70X more* power-lifting suction, a rubber brush that grabs all kinds of debris from crumbs in the kitchen to sandy footprints in the entry, and a corner brush that reaches into tight spaces and pulls up dust-bunnies wherever they gather. Feel confident the clean will be completed as the battery lasts for over three hours. But when it gets low, your robot automatically heads for a recharging and then returns to finish the task where it left off. Continuous, hassle-free cleaning is made possible by ClearView LiDAR hidden inside the robot. This high-performance navigation system quickly maps your home, smoothly steers around obstacles, and maximizes floor-cleaning coverage wall-to-wall. To customize your clean, simply tap the Roomba Home App to opt for multiple vacuum passes in high-traffic areas, choose the level of suction, or even schedule a night cleaning.This Roomba® raises the bar with first-of-its-kind onboard compacting. Roomba blends seamlessly into your home decor with sleek, beautiful finishes, leaving behind a brilliant clean. *As compared to Roomba® 600 series robots

    Disappointing

    The first few days were great: an assistant doing the once over automatically! Then it got stuck on a carpet (easy fix). Then the brush fell off (another easy fix but already?). Then it needed assistance (it was lonely??). The brush kept falling off, it kept stopping, it required assistance, it started going off in the middle of the night... And at the end of it all, there are still crumbs on the hardwood floor. Such a bummer. Return!

    Stopped Working After One Clean

    Very disappointing. It worked once after creating the map, then constantly got lost and tried to return to the dock after just a few minutes of cleaning. Even when the dock was only a foot away, it couldn't find it. Remapping and troubleshooting didn't fix the issue. Not reliable.

    Quality At A Great Price

    My daughter recently bought this model & I watched it map the house & then clean perfectly. I threw away my old off brand model that was used up & in 2 days I’ll be getting one that cleans quickly & quietly so my small dog won’t be hiding. This is a good price & will last for years.

    Terrible battery

    Battery is terrible. Had to return the first unit, it wld not charge above 50%. Replacement unit will charge to 100% but it takes half the day to get there. When it does clean the battery is immediately run down, so it can't even clean a whole room sometimes. This is my third roomba in maybe 8 yrs or so. The others were great, no troubles but this model is awful. it does seem to clean nicely when I can actually run it. Will probably return this one also and try another model. Do not recommend.

    Disappointed with the quality and longevity

    I am very disappointed with the quality and longevity of this robot vacuum. I purchased it in August 2025, and by October 2025 it was already struggling to pick up my dog’s hair, leaving patches of fur behind throughout the house. I run it every day, sometimes twice a day and I empty the bin daily. I have also replaced the filters with replacement filters from the same brand, but the performance has continued to decline. Recently, I’ve noticed that when I remove the dust container, most of the debris is trapped around the roller area instead of making its way into the dust bin. For a vacuum at this price point, I expected much better durability and consistent performance. Unfortunately, it has not held up well with regular use in a home with pets.

    Outstanding Job!

    I love this robot and ever since i was a kid i always wanted one after seeing your commercials on TV. Its worked great but ive noticed a few pros and cons about the Robot. not the programming but their is some design flaws near the brush i have shaggy capret and the capret gets caught in the gaps around the brush guard and it gets stuck sometimes. and ive had to constantly maintain it to actually be able to filter out the dust. and after a while of using it i noticed a strange noise near the wheel it sounds like a spring stretching and clicking evertime i push the wheels in or set the roomba down it clicks and when i take the dust bin out it slightly leans to one side, so i think there may be something wrong. i baught it for 200 just a few months ago and they dropped the price $50 i wish i would've waited for the price drop. But thank you guys i Still love using it it still works great i just wish i knew how to fix it without damaging it or without havent to spend any more money to have it repaired.

    Excellent machine for hardwood and rugs

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is my lifesaver. It saves so much cleaning time everyday. I have it set to run once everyone leaves the house in the morning. It has no trouble picking up the daily dirt or morning cereal. I love that it goes back to the docking station if battery gets low. It has a pretty big trash bin too. It was easy to understand from the very start. I use the app a lot to start, stop or change floor map. I am impressed that I don't have to do much to keep my floors clean. It's quality and performance is top notch.

    iRobot Roomba 205 with DustCompactor

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] As much as I loved it in the beginning it now requires a lot of maintenance. I’m finding myself having to clean up different nooks and crannies of the machine for it to run like it once did right out the box. That’s not a deal breaker but ideally it turned out to be a lot more work than I thought it was going to be. Great concept but I feel this particular model seems to be a lot more sensitive than others. I will say the app is great and easy to navigate, mapping out the areas and configuring maps was great.

    IRobot Roomba 205 Dust Compactor Cordless Vacuum

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Love love love! This is perfect for our household which has 2 little kids and a furry shedding dog. It's tall enough that it cannot get under/get stuck under the couch yet fits perfectly under the kitchen cabinets where crumbs often collect and are hard to clean up. It is also sleek looking and quiet. I love how you can map out your house and areas you want it to stick to

    Easy to use, helps clean floors

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This vacuum is easy to set up. There’s an app, and the first time you use it it’ll map your floors. As you could expect it will not get into narrow spaces or be able to move your chairs to get completely under the table, for example, but it is an easy, low effort way to keep dust and crumbs from accumulating on the floor.

    This will literally solve your life! BUY IT!

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This iRobot Roomba 205 DustComoactor Vac Robot Vacuum is the epitomy of what technology should be being used for! iRobot Roomba is an absolute amazing invention! I love how automated this product is. It was so easy to set up, just following a simple steps and connection was a breeze! The app is very intuitive and self explanatory, no need for a lot of work to understand it! Furthermore, the cleaning power is absolutely out of this world! The carpet, as you can see in the video, gets thoroughly cleaned and literally vacuumed, while I'm sitting on my couch! All hairs, little dusts and pieces of debris get absolutely picked up and cleaned from it! It works wonders on hard floors like tile or wood too! It really does an amazing job at cleaning and the best part is it's all automated, and I can just click a button on the app and sit down and watch TV while it cleans! The product itself doesn't weight a lot but it doesn't really matter anyways because it stays on the floor connected all the time! The size is surprisingly small for how powerful the machine is, and I love how the app gives you multiple cleaning types like deep clean or regular cleaning, as well as the option to chose which rooms to clean. The map (which it does automatically) also gives you options of where to clean, what areas to avoid, etc Overall, if you are considering buying a vacuum this one is 100000% percent worth the splurge. I know the price is steep, but honestly, the benefits are worth it by far!

    I love the small footprint and easy setup!

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've been using the Roomba for about a week and so far, really happy about with it. The set up was pretty straightforward, and once I got it connected and the room's mapped, it's been easy to choose what rooms I want cleaned and when. The app is user-friendly I like being able to control what room is being cleaned. One of my favorite things about this is the small footprint of the dock. I really like that the doctor does not take up a lot of space, it was the primary reason that I never invested in a Roomba before. Also, the mapping feature worked really well for me, and I appreciate how customizable the cleaning is. Overall, it's convenient for me to use in between cleanings especially when I have two dogs.

    Life changing iRobot Roomba 205

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was a little worried at first about if this vacuum was going to be used or just sit and collect dust. But it is not, and I love how clean my floors are looking. The roomba has an app where you can label and block off rooms so the roomba can just clean one room at a time. The vacuuming only lasts about 30-40 minutes at a time, and has to go back and recharge for a few hours. But if you schedule the roomba to clean a room at a time then you can get the next room ready.

    Does a great job cleaning

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This robot does what it says it will. Takes a little time to set up, but nothing too bad. Does amazing on the hardwood floors and rugs. Love that it maps out the house, has an app, and small docking station. We run this every night when everyone goes to bed. It has a large collection bin so it can do a lot of area. This has made a huge difference in our cleaning routine.

    Setup was miserable, but cleaning seems great!

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I quickly was egar to get my new robo vacuum up and running, setup was very complicated to figure out what unit this was, finally found a barcode to scan. The unit seems to lack engaging with the charging port. Makes it easy to fall off and not charge properly. Love the rubber cleaning brush and side brush. Seems to get tight spots but strugglea to get under low furniture. I have 2 children and a dog. As soon in the images, I sprinkled crackers to show after 5 passes it finally got most of the crackers up. Seems to pickup dog hair well too, especially long hairs.
