A capable 2026 Roomba with LiDAR, a roller mop and a hot wash dock that needs attention only about every 90 days, and at $799.99 it now sits in the midrange. Reviewers split: Gizmodo and Xataka liked its vacuuming and mopping, while Tom's Guide found it loud, prone to scattering debris and leaving mop residue. Skip it if you need it to fit under low furniture or want the quietest robot.

What reviewers found
Dreame X50 Ultra
- Vacuum Wars (3.60 Vacuum Wars stars): Removed 83% of embedded sand and 98% of pet hair with 0% hair wrap and avoided 20 of 24 obstacles. Dried stain score was 80 against a 94 average. Estimated coverage was about 1,130 sq ft per charge. Source
iRobot Roomba Max 775 Combo
- Gizmodo: Good vacuuming with no clogs and a streak free roller mop that handled ketchup about as well as rivals, but noisy, a buggy app on long runs, unreliable carpet detection and trapped twice under a bed. A full vacuum and mop of 750 sq ft took about 2.5 hours. Source
- Tom's Guide: Hard to recommend. Hardwood pickup of 44% hair, 86.5% Rice Krispies and 91% chia seeds; carpet 52%, 63.5% and 35%. Bumped walls often, scattered debris with its side brushes and left slight mop residue. Source
- Xataka: Excellent pet hair pickup and effective hot water roller mopping; cleaned 55 m² in 40 minutes using 33% of the battery. Fixed side brushes made corners less thorough and bags and solution are costly. Source
