iRobot’s Roomba line has led the robot vacuum category since the company introduced it in 2002, with the Plus series carrying premium features like LiDAR mapping and auto-empty docks. The Roomba Plus 505X Combo is iRobot’s mid-range vacuum-and-mop robot, paired with an AutoWash Dock that auto-empties debris and washes and dries the mop pads. Suction reaches 7,000 Pa, which iRobot quotes as 70x the cleaning power of the original Roomba 600 series. ClearView Pro LiDAR navigation maps your home in real time, while PrecisionVision AI recognizes and avoids cords, socks, and pet waste during cleaning runs.

A reliable, time-saving robot vacuum at a great price
The vacuum side of the 505X Combo brings 7,000 Pa of suction power across hard floors and carpets. A multi-surface rubber brush and edge-sweeping brush handle pet hair, dust, and debris in corners and along walls, with four suction levels in the Roomba Home app. Carpet Boost mode automatically increases suction when the robot detects carpeted surfaces. The mopping system uses DualClean Mop Pads with PerfectEdge, extending 18% closer to edges and corners for better wall and corner coverage. SmartScrub adds back-and-forth scrubbing with downward pressure for dried-on messes.
