iRobot Roomba Max 705 Cordless Vacuum + AutoEmpty Dock W155020 5.8" Cleaning Path Black

I've had this product since Christmas 2025 and I've had to factory reset it 6 times, it disconnects from my WiFi all the time and misses out on automations and it's incredibly frustrating that it keeps happening and support just defaults to "factory reset." For how much you pay for this I feel like the amount of times it needs reset it ridiculous. Other than that, I love having an automatic vacuum but dang, next time I buy one I'm trying a different brand. This is the 3rd Roomba I've had. I thought upgrading to the mapped expensive version would be perfect and it has not been.

The first Roomba I had my wife said was the best present I ever gave her. It was great. The second I joined the iRobot Select program to pay monthly and have all support and consumables provided free. That was a great vacuum too. I was excited when I got the opportunity to upgrade to a new vacuum after three years. That was a HUGE MISTAKE. The Max 705 is absolute garbage compared to either of my previous Roomba units. First, it does not clean as well as my vacuum from six years ago. Flat out poor cleaning. Second, it does map like my last vacuum, but I swear it's like a third grader programmed it. It's not consistent in its actions. It runs into things. It gets stuck with a clear path. It drops offline regularly. You have to go in and rejoin your network. And no warning it went offline either- just quits cleaning. Support has also gone down the drain. I'm paying monthly for support mind you and there is no phone number to call- just online help. It took three messages to the Select support team, and two messages to the regular support team to get a response. Literally took them two weeks to get back to me. Regular support got back before Select support. Then they wanted a receipt- I literally pay them monthly for the product, consumables and support but they wanted a purchase receipt. When I expressed my frustration with the unit, they said they can do nothing. Basically no way to downgrade and go back to a three year old vacuum that cleans better. No way to get another unit. No way to get out of a contract I started trying to get support on after the first week I had the product. I'm stuck with this and in a contract for another year and a half, although it is so bad I'm thinking about disputing the charges with my credit card company due to breach of contract by iRobot for lack of support and a product that does not perform. I loved my first two Roombas, but they will never get another cent of my money. This unit is AWFUL!!!

This is probably my fourth Roomba over the years (they're my favorite), and this one is by far the loudest. If you work from home, you will not be able to run the vacuum if you are on calls. It is still a life saver.

I now own five iRobot vacuums purchased over about ten years and I bought both my kids one, total of seven I've purchased. Obviously I like Roomba or I wouldn't keep buying. I was so excited when I got my Max 705 because it's the first robot that doesn't regularly get lost, it finds it's way home nearly always. Also, mapping on Max 705 totally superior to all previous robots. However.... I take my robots apart every other month and clean them with my compressor to get impedded dirt out of hidden areas. The other Roomba's had five easily removable heavy duty "captivated" screws that hold on the bottom plate. The Max 705 some genius decided to change to tiny screws that are "not captivated" so when you lift off the cover they fall out on the floor and you have to find them. Another serious downgrade must be the quality of the plastic as there are already permanent scratches on the bottom of my two month old Max 705 which don't exist on the other four Roomba robots I've had for five to ten years. This robot vacuums well but is really terrible in design and it's frustrating because they know how to make a good design but they must have wanted to make it "cheaper" or some idiot with a 3.98 grade point in college decided to put his special touch on it. I am NOT CONFIDENT Max 705 will last for many years like previous robots. What a disappointment.

The bags fill up super quick. The robot lasted 10 months before it stopped being able to find the dock. The iRobot customer service has been less than helpful. It has been multiple weeks since I reached out and now they tell me that since it's not stocked online they cannot provide me a replacement.

Iv had two robots, first one left dirty water marks everywhere and every time it emptied it's water. It just spilt it all over the docking station. It took 6/8 weeks for roomba to finally send a returns label. Then 6 months for a replacement to be sent. The new robot done the same thing on its second clean. You get better results doing it yourself and not wasting time with the roomba.

I have not been impressed by this product. I had expected a lot more for the money and hype. It simply does not pick up nearly as much as I expected and misses things it should easily pick up. I am really disappointed.

Terrible. Mop leaves water all over the house as the tiny drainage tray and pipe block every time with pet hair. Terrible design. Avoid

This was my third iRobot Roomba and it was bought less than a year ago and it has been absolutely terrible and it's so LOUD! Trying to contact iRobot about a warranty claim is ridiculous. I think I will look for a different brand of vacuum after this one. We have laminate floor and carpet in our house. It leaves behind so much on the laminate that I have to re-vacuum with my stick vacuum or use a dust mop. It stops in the middle of the floor and says it is stuck when there is nothing around it. Has trouble redocking. I replaced the rollers with genuine parts and now it is even louder sounds like rocks getting tumbled around. I would stay away from this vacuum.

I had the J Series Roomba for years it worked great!! Unfortunately it stopped working due to lack of suction issue. I was very excited to get the newest 705 Max irobot. I recieved the vacuum in a few days had to download the new app "Roomba Home" started set-up, it found my WiFi quickly but it would not connect because my WiFi password contained special characters. !? Which most all sites require a letter, lower case and upper case, number, and special character. So Roomba wanted me to change my WiFi password, Uh No. I would then have to reset up or re-enter my new password on EVERYTHING in my home. More than 20 items a few of which I would have needed to contractor to come out and do. VERY disappointed!! I packed it up and am returning it.

If I could give this piece of crap a negative star I would. I have had this hunk of junk for 30 days and it has been nothing but junk. The thing does nothing but go around the room "calibrating", finding itself and "reading the room" and depletes the battery before it ever decides to clean. It gets more than a foot or 2 from its base and just spins. When it does clean, I still have to vacuum after it. We have open floor plan and hardwood floors on main level, should be easy for it, but no. I have tried it in our den on the carpet, low pile, and it will start vacuuming and then just stop and say it needs help when it is just sitting in the middle of the room with nothing around it. So carpet floors and rugs, it wont work on. This thing states it reads the room and is suppose to avoid furniture, etc. that may be in it's path.....that is a wrong statement. It in fact does everything BUT that. It beats up the legs of our furniture, the legs on some chairs and piano stool are dinked and scratched from it, knocks over plants, pulls/knocks down lamps from tables, tries to climb on the dog bed and furniture and just sits on rugs and grinds into them and just bangs into cabinets...constantly. It is loud and does not clean. This thing was an absolute waste of my money and I would not recommend it to anyone. I was so excited to try this. We had a NEATO cleaner for over 10 years and it was so easy to use and did a wonderful job. We were sad when it no longer worked and had to get a new one. NEATO is no longer being made, so we decided we would try this due to the options and reviews and being made in America. Disappointed in this purchase is an understatement. It is literally a piece of crap and I will never buy another one of these.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love this robot vacuum. It cleans efficiently and quickly! It uses AI technology to avoid obstacles. It is really neat that it automatically empties into the upright bin when it is done.

We generally love our roombas, name them and consider them our least needy, stupidest pets. Purchased the Max 705 vac because it showed as best for pets and pet hair. We have 5 cats (4 short haired and 1 long). This model has been a disappointment in relation to pets. All of the wheels collect hair in between the housing and the wheel and in the wheel itself. The wheels need to be cleaned constantly. It effects the roomba's ability to move freely and to clean efficiently. Houses with pets have dust yet the up load station regularly thinks the bag is full when it is no where near so due to dust blocking air flow. We bought it to clean hair and dust but I can only assume that this model was not tested in a real house with real pets. Additionally we often find it sitting in the middle of the floor lights red no clear indication of why. Have always loved our roombas and they help keep our house manageable but this one has been a disappointment for the very reasons we purchased it.

Roomba Home app is poorly written, does not give sequential steps to access program functions and is, overall, almost worthless. The Roomba works well but the app support stinks.

An utterly useless product. I have spent 4 months back and forth with iRobot as my original purchase hardly ever managed to dock properly, instead banging against the dock over and over and even when placed on the dock and saying "Charging" it would simply pull itself off of the dock. They have finally replaced, it clearly wasn't the dock that was the problem as the replacement is doing the same thing. iRobot told me it was because my carpet is dark grey. Where on the product page does it tell you not to buy if you have a dark carpet? Absolutely nowhere. This product repeatedly leaves debris behind when it is vaccuming, my old model was far better, it actually cleaned my carpets. This one is a piece of plastic trash.

used twice per week. Keep getting bag full error but bag in no where near full! Cardboard handle on bag is flimsy and annoying!

Just got the 705max vac with auto empty dock and absolutely love it. We have hard wood floors throughout the house and this does a great job of getting up all the dog hair. Goes under the bed and furniture if high enough and the brush does a really good job of getting the edges and corners. This has saved us so much time with always needing to vacuum up the dog hair. Would highly recommend.

We have several dogs and our old Roomba I9 quit operating and is discontinued. After checking many reviews, the Max 705 has not lived up to the hype. Dog hair is not fully emptied from the much smaller dustbin, even hanging out the back. Bottom extraction worked much better, the vacuum times are shorter between emptying and recharging. The vacuum bag with the cardboard insert is not as well made. The internal filter is smaller and has to be cleaned and changed more often. The products took a step back in my opinion. The vacuum stops in the hall doorway when going back to the station, I have to pick it up and bring back. Too late to return but left a sour taste for the product

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The app is easy to use. The set up is so easy to do the app helps so much with that. The sensors are so easy to not get stuck. It's just a great tool to use for everyday use.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Set up with a breeze. I love how light and compact this robot vacuum is. It was very thorough while cleaning and getting all the areas that mapped well at set up. I like the black color with the copper letters, makes it looks very chic.. I have to admit though it does make quite a bit loud noise I wish it was a bit more quiet. Over all I can say this is a very reliable vacuum. Very happy with product, makes my life easy!
