A good carpet cleaner with LiDAR, an AI camera and a compact 90 day bag dock, for homes that do not need mopping. Testers split on obstacle avoidance, and one saw the dock fail to empty the bin. Skip it if your floors are mostly hard or cluttered with small items.

A compact Roomba that adds an AI camera and a solution dosing hot wash dock to the 400 series formula. European testers found navigation quick and precise and mopping fine for daily spills, but weak on dried stains, and hair wraps the brushes. Pick it for tight spaces with some clutter; skip it if you need deep carpet cleaning.

What reviewers found
iRobot Roomba Max 715 Vac + AutoEmpty Dock

- Netzwelt (Germany): Picked up 29.1 g of 30 g of test dirt. Fast, precise navigation, cleaned under radiators, handled dried coffee but failed on dried ketchup, and sometimes drove over cables. Hair wrapped both brushes. Source
- Android.com.pl (Poland) (7.8/10): Navigation never failed and it avoided cables, laces and toys. Very good on hard floors, weaker on fine flour in carpet even after two passes. Used about a low teens percent of battery on about 25 m². Repeated Wi-Fi drops in the app. Source
