- Suction
- 20,000 Pa
- Navigation
- ClearView LiDAR
- Mopping
- Yes
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 strong value all in one dock robot with navigation that Expert Reviews could not fault, a hair cutting brush and Matter support. Mopping and cleaning matched pricier rivals in UK testing. Skip it if you dislike proprietary consumables, since it only takes Tapo's non refillable detergent cartridge.

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
TP-Link Tapo RV50 Pro Omni
- Expert Reviews: Called navigation impossible to fault and mapping the fastest the reviewer had seen. A 55 minute clean of 24 m2 used 39% of battery. Mopping matched Dreame and Eufy rivals and removed dried ketchup and coffee faster, but it missed a fake pet mess. Awarded Best Buy. Source
- Blacktubi (9.2/10): A week of use in a 1,200 sq ft apartment with two long haired children: little hair left on the brush, and the clean water tank lasted a full week of daily mopping. Cons were the non refillable detergent and no drain or water inlet option. Source
