Quick verdict · checked Oct 30, 2026

The cheapest Roomba that maps with LiDAR, mops with a pad and empties itself. It is basic: the mop is a damp cloth, there is no camera, and Tek.no rated it mediocre with weak suction and some stuck runs. Buy it only on sale; at $469.99 on iRobot's store, stronger rivals cost the same.

Best for: simple daily upkeep in small homes. Skip if: you want real scrubbing or obstacle recognition.

What independent reviewers found

Rated it mediocre. Vacuums well and LiDAR improved navigation over older Roombas, but it got stuck, took a long time, has lower suction than rivals and a basic wet cloth mop.: Tek.no (Norway)
After about three months of home use it scored 5.5 of 10 for mopping, 6 for carpet, 5 for hair tangle and 1.5 for obstacle avoidance, running over items under about 3 inches. Only 2 of 6 marketing claims passed. The reviewer advised skipping it at full price. The page prints 4.6/10 in one place and 4.8 out of 10 in another.: Just A Dad Approved · 4.6/10
Hands on test with the AutoEmpty dock. Measured 395 FPM airflow on carpet against a 420 FPM category average, the best it has recorded for an entry level iRobot. Mapping was much faster than older non LiDAR Roombas. The mop only drags and does not lift, hair tangles on the roller and the firmware update took nearly an hour.: Vacuum Chef
