iRobot Roomba Combo i8 Robot Vacuum and Mop

No. This SKU (I817840) comes with a basic Home Base charging dock rather than iRobot's auto-emptying Clean Base, which is sold separately, so the 0.4L dust bin needs to be emptied by hand after cleaning runs. This is worth checking carefully before buying, since other iRobot Combo listings do bundle the self-emptying Clean Base as standard. Skipping the auto-empty dock keeps this particular configuration's price down compared with bundles that include it. If hands-off bin emptying matters to you, factor in the extra cost of a separate Clean Base purchase, or compare other iRobot Combo models that include it out of the box.

iRobot's UK product page does not publish a per-charge runtime figure for the Combo i8, so it cannot be confirmed here with the retailer if runtime is important to your decision. This gap sits alongside unpublished suction power and noise level figures for this exact SKU, meaning several specs shoppers commonly compare aren't available on iRobot's official listing. The robot does run on a Li-ion battery and uses Imprint Smart Mapping to navigate efficiently, which may offset some runtime concerns through smarter route planning rather than raw battery capacity. Buyers who need a confirmed runtime figure before purchasing should check directly with iRobot or a retailer rather than assume a figure from similar models in the range.

Yes, the Roomba Combo i8 includes a HEPA-rated filter, plus a spare High-Efficiency Filter in the box, so you have a replacement ready without an immediate separate purchase. This filtration works within a compact 0.4L dust bin, which iRobot positions for the "small-apartments" use case, though it will need emptying more often in a larger or heavily-carpeted home. Since this particular SKU ships with a standard Home Base dock rather than the auto-emptying Clean Base, you'll be handling both filter and bin maintenance manually. With a 2-year warranty, HEPA filtration is one of the more clearly confirmed specs on this listing, unlike suction power and runtime, which iRobot hasn't published.

The Roomba Combo i8 weighs around 3.37kg, based on third-party listings rather than the official UK page, so this figure should be treated as unconfirmed. That places it in the "standard" weight band for robot vacuums, alongside dimensions of roughly 338mm length by 86mm height reported by the same third-party sources, with width unconfirmed. This weight matters less for day-to-day use than for a robot vacuum, since it moves itself rather than being carried, though it's relevant if you're lifting it for bin emptying given this SKU's standard Home Base dock rather than a self-emptying one. Confirm exact dimensions with iRobot directly if fitting it under specific furniture is a concern.

The iRobot Roomba Combo i8 comes with a 2-year limited warranty from iRobot, backing a machine with a HEPA-rated filter, a 0.4L dust bin and Imprint Smart Mapping navigation. That coverage applies regardless of the fact this particular SKU ships with a standard Home Base charging dock rather than the auto-emptying Clean Base, so the warranty covers the robot itself rather than a bundled self-emptying dock you'd need to buy separately. Given that suction power, runtime and precise weight aren't fully confirmed by iRobot's official UK page for this listing, the 2-year warranty is one of the more concrete, verifiable commitments available when deciding whether to buy.
