## Description

The Roomba Plus 505 Combo Robot with AutoWash Dock delivers cleaning innovation with an edge. Effortlessly combining advanced vacuuming, deep-scrub mopping, DualClean Mop Pads with PerfectEdge, and a does-it-all AutoWash Dock to deliver the clean of your dreams. Expertly raises the cleaning bar with spinning DualClean Mop Pads that extend along edges for 18% more coverage* to erase dirt wall-to-wall and SmartScrub for 2x deeper scrubbing**. Plus, 70x more intense suction***, Carpet Boost, a multi-surface rubber brush, and Edge-Sweeping brush extract and eliminate dust and debris. AutoWash dock does more to maintain all-around freshness. Self-empties to capture up to 75 days of debris in a bag that keeps allergens and dust locked away. Never drag dirt around the house - your robot periodically returns to the dock to rinse its mop pads during cleaning. When cleaning is finished, your mop pads are washed and heat-dried, always ready to clean. The Self-Cleaning Cycle eliminates any build-up of debris in the dock with little effort from you. ClearView Pro LiDAR quickly maps your home to maximize coverage and clean thoroughly, day or night. The robot steers smoothly around obstacles and won't fall down stairs thanks to specialized sensors. Immediately recognizes cords, socks, and pet waste using PrecisionVision AI technology. Advanced Dirt Detect Technology identifies large wet & dry messes ahead and automatically repeats cleaning passes for a more thorough clean without missing a thing. Ask your preferred voice assistant**** to get a routine started or simply tap the easy-to-use Roomba Home App to set a perfect clean for each area in your home. Choose from 4 cleaning modes to vacuum, mop, combo clean, or vacuum first then mop. Select repeat mopping passes in high-traffic areas, even mop the kitchen at night. Inspired by modern design, both robot and dock blend beautifully into your home. One powerful robot is all you need for effortlessly fresh carpets and glistening floors. *Compared to unextended DualClean™ Mop Pad **Compared to standard vacuum & mop mode on coffee & grime ***Compared to Roomba® 600 series robots ****Works with Alexa, Siri, and Google Assistant-enabled devices.

Review: I really LOVE the Roomba 505 and docking waste station, you probably will too - We have a very large house, 60/40 tile and carpet. Needed something for routine cleaning. Didn’t think the Roomba 505 would even be able to map the house. To our surprise it did it very quickly. Be sure to open all doors and clear as much of the floor of obstacles as possible for the best mapping. The mopping system works really well (I know lots of Chinese models have had similar features for awhile), but I didn’t want to deal with those companies and waited for iRobot to create a model with these features. The 505 does a great job on tile; with first use it filled the out-water tank with blacken water after double pass mopping over what looked like a generally clean tile floor. Couldn’t have been happier. I have returned to update this review to express how happy we are with its tile mopping. Its impressive how much dirt it picks up on a routine basis. I also have deep cleaned the mop pads in my Samsung drawer washer with great results. The dirty tank gets some grime built up in it, but its easy to clean. The vacuum works pretty well, I understand the double brush vacuums do better, but for general use it picks up the stuff I see typically around the house. I use a Mikita duster to blow out the Roomba's dust bin and filter after a couple of weeks, quick and easy. Keep your station maintained and the whole product should perform well. Its easy to do. The iRobot Home app on my iPhone/iPad still needs improvements. It just got its first update today. My house layout is larger than the software developers probably anticipated. It hard to pick rooms by label, without having to zoom in, as the labels overlap on screen during the room selection process. Note: the map can be zoomed in when doing this once you touch some part of the floor plan first. Sadly, there is no simple list view. Setting up different zones, or correcting missed mapping areas is challenging and cumbersome. iRobot needs to continue focusing on UI and usability improvements to this app. It may frustrate some, and lessen the enthusiasm for Roomba and the dock. NOTE: A great feature would be to direct the Roomba to a mis-mapped area, or changed environment and just have it scan and update that part of the map. Especially so for large houses like mine. We have patterned tile floors and Roomba overcleans some areas "thinking" its some stain or mess. Would be nice to be able to mark these questionable areas as "normal". If you interrupt the cleaning with the app or the battery is low on the Roomba, sometimes the Roomba is left in an odd state. For instance, it won't clean the mop when you expect it should. You can manually force the cleaning routines, but only when a minimum level of battery power is available. Just a few things the app has overlooked and hopefully will eventually be addressed. The user experience and quality robotic system is what will make a "premium" product for iRobot. The mechanical units (Roomba and waste dock work well). The water tanks could be twice the size for my house… but most likely designed for a typically sized house. I am surely planning to keep the Roomba 505, as I expect improvements to the app as iRobot gets more feedback on this newly designed combo vac/mop. There are already articles describing and even better (yet more expensive) 705 combo model on the way. If its better than the 505... it most likely will be worth the extra money. Very happy with this purchase after a few weeks of serious use. Will update if that feeling changes. Summary, I recommend this product at its new price point. A few more weeks have passed, the iPhone app as been updated twice. The app could have a few more nice features added, but it works. We have tile floors that have random patterns, there are a few spots the Roomba mistakes as spills and works very hard to clean them up. This is understandable, and wastes time with extra unnecessary trips back to the dock to clean pads. The app needs a feature to mark and ignore these situations. The Roomba itself has been doing a great job. Its been awhile now and the Roomba is used every day for general cleaning. I works very well, with proper care and feeding. I am impressed the tile floors that typically look clean still manage to brown the empty tank with dirt, kudos Roomba. Do pay attention to the removal and cleaning of the water filter in the bottom to the docking station. I didn't realize it was a plastic removal filter that needed periodic cleaning. Be sure to watch some online videos for the care and cleaning of the robot and docking station. There weren't any real instructions for doing most of this sorta stuff in the box. I do machine was the mop pads (in a Samsung drawer washer) and rinse out the dust filters to extend their use. Don't use any fabric softener with the microfiber pads. Try not to over dry the pads in the dryer, best to exchange pads and let them dry normally. Be careful of the slim clear plastic door in Roomba's dust bin, easy to wash out without noticing. I still really find this Roomba extremely useful and continue to recommend it to those that will take time to use and maintain it properly. The iOS apps gets updates, it still needs a few features to make it of "high quality", but for now its useable enough. Lastly, cleaning the "beater brush" would be far easier if the ends slide out and would allow the tangled hair on the ends to be just easily pulled out. Seems like such a simple and obvious solution, it is a pain to have to pull apart and remove the bound hairs when doing general maintenance. This is something iRobot could fix and improve the user experience a great deal since this is a user serviceable part that needs replacing periodically. I suppose this is my biggest complaint. But, far from a deal breaker. More of a WTF, why didn't you just let the ends of the roller brush pull out just make plucking the hair out super easy? For now my wife just makes me do it, actually I do all of it. :-)
Review: Saves hours of effort keeping my floors clean! Minimal maintenance/effort! Dream come true! - I had an older Roomba (i3+), and while it was still doing a good job on vacuuming, I was jealous of my friends who had a mopping robot. My floors are mostly hardwood with some area rugs in the living spaces. I had been researching various vacuum/mop combos and finally took the plunge on this model. I am SO HAPPY and wish I had switched years ago! First, out of the box it took only minutes to setup. Note there was no manual in the box, just a QR code link to an online manual. I assume this is so we will always be able to access the most up-to-date manual. On setting it up in my room, I will note that the base is much "bulkier" than my i3 self-emptying base, but that's due to the 2 water tanks, and I'll take the bulk over needing to fill/empty the robot every time I want to mop! Next I sent it on a mapping run, which with my i3 took about 2 hours to map out my single-story 4 bedroom home. I could not BELIEVE how fast the 505 zoomed across my floorplan. It finished the map in 15-20 minutes. It did a good job at labeling the rooms, and it was very easy to modify the map to separate out a few of our living spaces (we have an open floor plan in the main part of the house). As for the actual cleaning, the new app makes it super easy! I love that I can choose between Vac only, Mop Only, Vac AND Mop, or Vac THEN Mop. You can set it for the whole house or just for selected rooms. You can also set it to run at a certain time of day, so I typically set it to vac then mop when I leave the house for work, and I love coming home to clean floors! The mopping feature using water-only still got up a good amount of dirt. And one of the BEST features is that the vac will automatically empty debris (collection bag inside base), and fill itself with water and empty out the dirty water (you do of course manually have to fill and empty the tanks). I haven't yet tried the iRobot mopping solutions but I hope to purchase some soon. The 505 is only approved for the iRobot brand floor cleaners (I was hoping I could use my existing Bona floor cleaner but it looks like that is not compatible with this model). The mopping does not leave the floors overly wet, they dry very quickly. And when the mop returns to its base it self-cleans and dries the mopping pads. There are also 2 spare pads included in the box. This machine has literally saved me hours a week cleaning my floors. I highly recommend to anyone looking for a robot vac, mop or vac/mop combo!! It's truly the best of both worlds.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: How do I set up the robot?**
A: Set up is simple. Just unbox, place the dock on a hard-surface floor, at least 4 feet away from stairs with ample space for the robot to navigate in and out. Download the Roomba Home app, follow the prompts and your robot is ready to go.

**Q: How well does it mop?**
A: DualClean mop pads spin at 200RPM to scour the toughest messes with ease. Set SmartScrub to mop back and forth pushing downward on stubborn messes the way you would. Roomba even detects rugs and lifts its mop pad to keep them dry while vacuuming.

**Q: How does the AutoWash Dock work?**
A: Your robot will return to its dock to auto-empty debris, auto-wash pads as needed during mopping, then washes and heat-dries them when cleaning's complete. A self-cleaning cycle pumps water through the dock, washing away any accumulated debris.

**Q: How does the home mapping work?**
A: ClearView Pro LiDAR + PrecisionVision AI Technology scans your home to create up to 5 maps and auto-names rooms in the Roomba Home App. Mapping takes only 9 minutes, and then your robot is ready to navigate smoothly and avoid obstacles.

**Q: What kind of maintenance is required?**
A: Perform basic care to keep your robot and dock running smoothly: wipe the robot bin, rinse dock water tanks, clean charging contacts & brushes, and change the filter every 3-6 months. See the owner's guide for detailed instructions.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review
*by R***F on June 29, 2025*

So far, I am in love with this machine. We chose very carefully as different models offer different features and we had a ‘must have’ list and had a budget. This model ticked all the boxes- self emptying/self cleaning mop heads, able to avoid a sock or dog toy, recognize carpets while mopping and has good suction. The app is also very useful for programming schedules or ordering clean up on demand. There is a ‘clean zone’ feature which allows you to target hi traffic areas within a room and a spot clean in the app for spills and quick clean ups which replaced the old spot clean. you can quickly pop it onto the house map and she will come clean up a mess in that square. Having her wash and dry her mops is a great feature as you know the mops aren’t going to sit and get moldy. Learning curves: don’t try to run her at night. She needs light to operate her best. Don’t cancel her job unless you are there to put her away, I assumed she would just go back to her dock but she didn’t and she sat on the floor in the dark with wet dirty mops and ran out of battery. With 4 cleaning options, there is something for every need. Vac, mop, vac & mop and vac THEN mop. The difference between the last two are vac & mop is a time saver for light cleaning. if you have really dirty floors you would choose vacuum first, then mop and she will do a better mop job afterwards. Set up was easy with the app and she did a darn good job mapping out the house. Every time she cleans, she gets more intuitive and today I see on our map a picture of our bed with pillows and a toilet in the bathroom, whereas these were just blank areas when she was first mapping. She is also good about alerting us on the app when she has an issue like a closed door or obstacle so we can correct. Make sure you enable alerts on your app. Set up with SIRI was simple. I have a Dyson V15 with the green light that shows dust and dog hair that I was using daily for the wads of dust and dog hair that falls. I used it after she performed a vac&mop and I was pretty impressed by how much she picked up. It will never be perfect, there is always hair and dust in the air that will fall minutes later, but at least I don’t have to vacuum every day and can save a day for a deep clean with my Dyson and let my robot do the rest. Don’t be surprised if you spend a lot of time watching her on the app at first. She’s amazingly thorough and works a grid to cover every inch of floor. This is our first robot vacuum and I am very impressed with our choice, plus we got it on sale and saved $200 so that was the ‘fit the budget’ that was on our list. Below you can see Auntie Alice vacuuming our kitchen.
