Third-party reviews

What customers like about iRobot Roomba Combo R111840

  • Great value for money as a 2-in-1 robot vacuum and mop.
  • Excellent suction power that easily removes pet hair and fine dust.
  • Convenient and user-friendly control via the iRobot Home app (available in English).
  • Sleek design allowing it to easily reach under furniture like sofas and cabinets.
  • Supports voice control through Google Assistant and Amazon Alexa.

What customers don't like about iRobot Roomba Combo R111840

  • The mopping function is better suited for a light refresh rather than removing stubborn stains.
  • Uses random navigation instead of flawless laser navigation, which may take longer to clean the entire room.
  • Can get stuck on high-pile carpets or thick doormats.
  • Both water and dust reservoirs are small and require frequent manual refilling and emptying.

Verdict

The iRobot Roomba Combo R111840 is a 2-in-1 robot vacuum and mop designed for hard floors and carpets, featuring a 450 ml dust bin capacity, 3.22 kg weight, and a compact 8.2 cm height that helps it clean under low furniture. It utilizes logical row-by-row navigation, a V-shaped brush roll, dual vacuuming modes, and a microfiber mopping pad supported by three customizable washing modes. Main pros include its efficient surface cleaning, ease of use via app and voice controls (Alexa and Google Assistant), and the ability to vacuum and mop simultaneously. However, notable cons include its outdated NiMH battery technology, occasional difficulty returning to the charging dock, and the lack of advanced smart mapping or customizable keep-out zones.
