iRobot Roomba Combo i5+ Self-Emptying Robot Vacuum and Mop

What the Roomba Combo i5+ is

The iRobot Roomba Combo i5+ is a robot vacuum and mop combined into one unit, sold with a self-emptying charging dock (branded Clean Base). It uses an interchangeable bin system: you swap between a vacuum bin and a microfibre mopping pad/water tank depending on whether you want it to vacuum, mop, or both in sequence. It's built for carpets and hard floors and is marketed around pet hair and allergen pickup.

Surfaces covered: carpet and hard floor. This is not a wet-and-dry vacuum and it is not a bagless model — the automatic dirt disposal system uses disposal bags in the dock.

Self-emptying dock and mopping

The Clean Base dock empties the robot's dust bin automatically, which iRobot says can go up to 60 days between manual bag changes depending on use. The combo bin is interchangeable, so cleaning and mopping use separate bin/pad setups rather than a single all-in-one pass — check the current listing if you specifically need simultaneous vacuum-and-mop in one run. Navigation is handled through Imprint Smart Mapping with room-specific cleaning, and the robot can be controlled via the iRobot Home App or voice assistants (Alexa, Siri, Google Assistant).

Filtration and what iRobot doesn't publish

iRobot states the filter captures 99% of cat and dog allergens, which is why the model is positioned for allergy-prone and pet-owning households. Whether the filter is washable or needs replacing is not confirmed in the published specifications. Suction power is also not published as a wattage or kPa figure — iRobot describes it only qualitatively as "Power-Lifting Suction," so buyers who want to compare raw suction against other models won't find that number for this unit.

Is the Roomba Combo i5+ right for you?

This model suits homes wanting a self-emptying robot that handles both carpet and hard floors with minimal manual bin emptying, and where a published suction figure isn't a dealbreaker. A UK reseller listing shows an average customer rating of 4.84 out of 5 from 54 reviews, though this comes from a single third-party retailer rather than an aggregated or independently verified source. If you need a published suction spec, a larger dust bin, or want to compare it against other iRobot models, see other iRobot vacuum cleaners or browse other robot vacuums to compare alternatives by spec.
