PRE-ORDER NOW: On July 23, iRobot announced a new flagship robot vacuum and mop that finally comes with a self-cleaning station: the Roomba Combo 10 Max robot and AutoWash dock. It is available to pre-order now for $1,399.99 and will start shipping in early August.
We hope the likes of Roborock, Ecovacs, and Narwal fully enjoyed the peace of having a leg up on iRobot for the past year. Because the new Roomba rectifies the one glaring blind spot that held it back against competitors, and “best robot vacuums” lists across the internet are in for a shake-up.
Announced on July 23, the 2024 Roomba Combo 10 Max Robot + AutoWash Dock finally fills the major gap in the Roomba lineup: self-washing and drying mopping pads.

iRobot skipped this feature with the Roomba Combo j9+ that came out last September — an odd choice since the Combo j9+ did upgrade to a dock that automatically refilled the bot’s water tank, which I found to be a bit of a futile glow-up if you’re still having to manually wash soggy mopping pads after each mopping run.
