iRobot Combo i5 review: 118 specs compared

The iRobot Roomba Combo i5 is a 9.4 cm tall hybrid robot vacuum and mop offering efficient row-by-row navigation, smart mapping, and effective dual rubber brushes for pet hair, according to the Consumentenbond. Key disadvantages identified in the review include a very basic mopping function, a small 0.29-liter dustbin requiring frequent maintenance, and the lack of app-controlled, no-go boundary settings to protect carpets, as noted by the Consumentenbond and related technical sources.

Test Aankoop evaluates the iRobot Roomba Combo i5 as a capable entry-to-mid-tier 2-in-1 device, highlighting its excellent AeroForce dual rubber brush system for picking up pet hair and effective smart room mapping as key strengths. However, the analysis notes limitations, including a passive mopping mechanism that lacks scrubbing power, the necessity of a manual bin swap to change cleaning modes, and navigation that relies on physical bumper sensors.

According to the Testachats review, the iRobot Combo i5 is a practical 2-in-1 device featuring efficient row-by-row navigation, rubber brushes, and Dirt Detect technology for increased suction. Pros include robust cleaning performance and easy-to-use zone control, while cons center on the limitation to a single floor map, lack of custom no-go zones, and the requirement to manually switch between vacuum and mop bins.
