iRobot Roomba® 405 Combo + AutoWash Dock Robot Vacuum Cleaner with Mop Function

I was interested in getting this having seen a few of them around. Unboxing is easy and the app is stable. I've had it for over a month now and luckily not experienced the dreaded battery problems other people have mentioned. It cleans my carpets and wooden floors really well, and is smart at avoiding falling down the stairs. Overall it's a great time saver and encourages me to keep the floor empty.

Sadly after just 9 days, the roomba developed a glitch, and after 48 hours of trying various suggestions from technical online we couldn't get the roomba to charge, As the charge hit 0 %, it wouldn't connect to the Internet. As a last resort, the technical online suggested checking the battery, but I couldn't find a battery access flap or hatch. We have arranged for a swift amazon return and will try with a replacement roomba. Despite the battery issue, we were overall impressed. And I still recommend it for its easy setup. In the hands of my 60 year old mum, who I challenged to set it up on her own from scratch, she found the only help she needed was lifting out of the box and putting it in the corner where it would go. The robot is the heaviest element. She downloaded the app and set up the programme completely alone and she said she found it easy and straight foward, as the programme set up has many clearly explained steps, and guides you step by step, to aid the set up. She was impressed with the programme, which is very sophisticated and detailed but actually incredibly easy to understand and use. The robot sounds like you would expect a modern hoover to sound as it is a hoover after all. You wouldn't want it in your bedroom as you're trying to sleep if you're a light sleeper, but it could clean downstairs as you sleep. The joy of watching Roomba do its thing as you have a cuppa is strangly satisfying. Users tip - once the robot has run round mapping your house with its radar, the programme offers you help to rename, split and merge, and add spaces. My tip is, split, break up spaces more, you can still tell it to clean every where, but by spliting areas, you can tell it to just do specific areas, and it will go through the house and just do a chosen areas. By splitting bigger areas, you can push furniture up one end to deep clean the other end of a room. The programme constantly communicates audible and through the app, it's progress and how it might need help to proceed. The dirt detection technology is real. It found the dog feeding floor area and the path from the back door to the dog bowl, and really went to town on it. One big issue, though, is that the roomba audibly issues progress statements or promts and help requests, which, unless you're next to it at the time, you don't fully hear it. It would be helpful if it pinged a notification and the message to the phone app.

Temporarily placed outside the door for the holidays, she doesn't have any major problems locating her. Of course, I have to remember to position the door as in the photo and adjust everything possible in the house to allow her entry. Moving the coffee table a few centimeters was enough. She crawled under the chairs and then came out on her own.

Arrived Broken The vacuum works flawlessly, unfortunately the dock didn't work. The Robot couldn't make it up the ramp to the dock. When placed on the dock, it didn't empty the bin. The mop function never worked because the dock couldn't prepare the mop pads for mopping. Amazon support was OK, not great given it was a £300 purchase and didn't work from day one. Worth checking who the seller is - I got it on a lightning deal and assumed I was buying from Amazon, I wasn't.

My home has never looked cleaner! It’s noisier than I thought it would be, but does an amazing job at hoovering and mopping. Some very tight spaces or corners are difficult for it, but this is expected with a robot cleaner!

If you’re on the fence with one of these, please don’t hesitate, we’ve had Rowland for about a week now and he hoovers daily and mops every other day, and does a great job, Is it as good as vacuuming yourself with a plug in, probably not, but because he goes daily there’s very little left behind, The main thing we have found is we are keeping on top of picking toys up, putting shoes away etc so the rowland can get to where he needs to go without swallowing anything, so in that regard the house has never been tidier! All in all we are very pleased and you shouldn’t hesitate.

Vacuum function isn’t too great, fine for hard floors but no good on carpets. Mop function is decent though. The biggest issue for me is that i have to clear the floor fully before using it. The AI doesn’t seem to pick up my dogs water bowl for example, often makes more of a mess knocking that over then it cleans.

Does a good job at cleaning the floor. I like the automatic emptying of the robot and there is an option to select how frequently to wash the pads, so they can be kept really wet and clean. The robot will return to dock to dampen them again. I have bought an irobot vacuum before in 2018 (7 years ago) and it still works brilliantly. I just wanted another for the hard floors. I stuck with this brand this reason that my old one still works. Irobot were the first company to create robot vacumms.

De Roomba 405 is een van de nieuwste robotstofzuigers van iRobot en mikt op een compleet automatische schoonmaakervaring. Een van de grootste pluspunten vind ik de LiDAR-technologie. De stofzuiger maakt tijdens de eerste rit een nauwkeurige kaart van de woning in. Via de app kun je zones instellen en verboden gebieden aangeven waar hij niet mag komen. De ervaring met de app verliep niet geheel vlekkeloos. De kaartversie wordt niet altijd direct goed weergegeven. Ook duurde het bij mij even voordat de kaart volledig en correct was aangemaakt. Daarnaast had ik incidenteel last van verbindingsproblemen met het WiFi-netwerk, waardoor het apparaat soms niet direct reageerde. Hoewel het geen dealbreaker is, voelt het wel jammer voor zo’n geavanceerd apparaat. Hopelijk wordt dat met toekomstige updates verbeterd. Wat erg goed werkt, is de opvangbak. In plaats van de stofzuiger zelf elke dag te legen, wordt het vuil gecomprimeerd, waardoor je pas na meerdere schoonmaakrondes hoeft te legen. In de praktijk scheelt dat echt gedoe. Na elke ronde keert de Roomba terug naar het dock, waar niet alleen het stof automatisch wordt afgevoerd, maar ook de dweil wordt gereinigd en bijgevuld. De stofzuiger is een aanrader voor iedereen die houdt van gemak, een schoon huis en er niet te veel naar om wil kijken.

Nettoyage facilité

Très bon appareil, genial, en plus le service après vente impeccable, un peu long à contacter mais vous recontacte. Le plus dur c'est de le connecter au gsm, si cela ne fonctionne pas, ne pas avoir peur d'essayer avec un autre gsm et ensuite comme le compte est unique, il revient sur le premier. Le reste est génial

Este iRobot Roomba Combo Plus 405 ha revolucionado mi forma de limpiar la casa. La potencia de succión es impresionante, realmente se nota la diferencia respecto a otros modelos. Las mopas DualClean con SmartScrub dejan el suelo brillante incluso después de manchas difíciles, y el hecho de que se eleven automáticamente al detectar alfombras evita cualquier problema. Además, el diseño es elegante y se integra muy bien en la decoración del hogar. Lo que más me ha sorprendido es la Base AutoWash: vacía el depósito de polvo, lava y seca las mopas automáticamente, así que me olvido completamente del mantenimiento durante semanas. Es una auténtica maravilla ver cómo planifica el recorrido gracias al sistema LiDAR, moviéndose con precisión milimétrica incluso en la oscuridad. También me encanta poder controlarlo desde la app o con comandos de voz, algo que uso mucho cuando tengo las manos ocupadas. La aplicación Roomba Home es intuitiva y práctica; permite crear rutinas personalizadas y ajustar la potencia o el tipo de limpieza según la habitación. Me encanta poder enviar al robot directamente a la cocina o al salón con solo un toque. En resumen, un producto de alta gama que ofrece resultados profesionales y comodidad total. ¡Vale cada euro invertido!

Wij hebben op vrijdag 4 Juli de robotstofzuiger ontvangen. Hij kwam binnen in een stevige doos welke in een doos verpakt was. Het was eenvoudig in elkaar te zetten en te installeren. Bij de eerste gebruik is het station gevuld met water en schoonmaakmiddel. Daarna maakt de robot een map. Deze kan je nog aanpassen of separate kamers van maken. Na de mapping kan hij gelijk gebruikt worden. In het begin waarop hij water pakt, maakt hij iets geluid. Maar dit is niet storend. Vervolgens gaat de robotstofzuiger aan het werk. Hij dweil en doet Stofzuigen tegelijk. Hierbij geeft de stofzuiger aan wanneer deze een powerwash nodig heeft. Hij gaat dan weer naar het station. Vervolgens gaat hij weer verder waar hij gebleven is. Tot nu toe is dit echt een uitkomst. Als gezin hebben we meer tijd en is het huis schoner. Tot nu toe zijn wij positief verrast.
