iRobot just unveiled its new $1,399 Roomba Combo 10 Max — the first Rooma to offer truly hands-off vacuuming and mopping. Available to buy from August, the Combo 10 Max features and updated AutoWash Dock which now cleans the mop, in addition to its usual emptying and tank-filling functions.
This eliminates my hangup with Roomba's previous flagship, the J9+ Combo, which required you to manually remove and clean the mop pad after each run. Like that model, it has a unique retractable mop pad to avoid wetting carpets, a table atop the dock, and front camera for AI obstacle avoidance. However, in addition to the updated dock for one full week of set-and-forget cleaning you also get improved Dirt Detection and Matter to control it from smart home platforms.
