A slim, low cost entry to iRobot's wash and dry docks, with spinning pads that scrub spills well and a 3.29 in body that fits under low furniture. It has no camera, so testers saw it tangle in cables and push toys around. Buy it for mostly clear hard floors; skip it if you have cords or pet toys on the floor.

A good value for people who want a robot that empties, refills and washes its own mop without buying bags, now that it sells for $599.99 instead of $999.99. Reviewers liked its obstacle avoidance and threshold climbing but found it leaves floors very wet and stays too far from walls. Skip it if you have delicate wood floors or need strong deep carpet cleaning.

What reviewers found
iRobot Roomba Plus 415 Combo + AutoWash Dock
- Ideal Home: UK test: cleared a BBQ sauce spill in one pass and reached skirting boards, but tangled in charging cables, pushed toys and wrapped hair on the roller. Notes 45°C pad drying versus 75°C washes on some rivals. Source
- Just A Dad Approved (6.2/10): Three months of home use: hassle free 7/10, mop 6/10, carpet 6/10, hair tangle 5/10, clutter 7/10. Pads occasionally detached and it missed cords and small objects. Source
Shark PowerDetect NeverTouch Pro 2 in 1
- Vacuum Wars (3.36/5): Above average on carpet pet hair (86%) and dried stains, average on deep carpet cleaning (76%) and obstacles, below average on battery and navigation. Ranked #20 on its Top 20 list. Source
- TechRadar: Tested the US RV2820ZE. Strong obstacle avoidance and threshold climbing and an easy app, but too much water left on wood floors, weak on fine powder in thick rugs and limited edge cleaning. No overall score published; sub scores were performance 4/5, design 4/5, app 4/5 and value 3.5/5. TechRadar gave a Performance 4/5 subscore but no overall rating. Source
- Tech Advisor: Never got stuck and handled gravy, coffee and mud stains in Stain Mode, but the extending pad did not reach corners and spot cleaning was hard to place precisely. Source
