The Roomba Max 775 Combo is iRobot's 2026 flagship vacuum-mop, launched May 2026 as the top of the eight-model lineup that relaunched the brand after its January 2026 Chapter 11 exit and sale to Chinese supplier Picea. It sells for $999.99 at irobot.com with the AutoWash dock, pairing ClearView Pro LiDAR and PrecisionVision AI with a 200 RPM heated roller mop and reported 30,000 Pa suction — finally competitive with Chinese flagships, at a lower price.

Our take
This is the most competitive Roomba in years and undercuts rival flagships by $500+, but buy it with eyes open: iRobot is now owned by its Shenzhen contract manufacturer after bankruptcy, so long-term software support and the brand's US-privacy positioning carry more uncertainty than the hardware does. For most buyers the price-to-dock-features ratio is excellent; spec chasers still get higher rated suction and threshold climbing from Roborock and Dreame.
Best suited for
- Larger homes wanting a full wash-dry-empty dock under $1,000
- Pet households (upgraded hair pickup and filtration)
- Buyers loyal to the Roomba app ecosystem
Roomba Max 775 Combo: common questions
How much does the Roomba Max 775 Combo cost?
$999.99 at irobot.com including the AutoWash dock. It is also sold at retailers like Home Depot; street prices vary.
Is the Roomba Max 775 worth it?
Yes for the price — it delivers LiDAR navigation, reported 30,000 Pa suction, a heated roller mop, and a wash-and-dry dock for about $500 less than comparable Roborock, Dreame, or Ecovacs flagships. Its main risk is brand uncertainty after iRobot's bankruptcy, not the hardware.
Is iRobot still in business?
Yes. iRobot filed a pre-packaged Chapter 11 in late 2025 and emerged in January 2026 as a private company owned by Picea, its Shenzhen-based supplier and largest lender. Products remain on sale and the Max lineup launched under the new ownership.
Roomba Max 775 vs Roborock Saros 20?
The Saros 20 has higher rated suction (36,000 vs ~30,000 Pa), better threshold crossing, and a more premium dock, but lists $600 higher. The Roomba wins on value and its simpler app; the Roborock wins on raw capability.
Does the Roomba Max 775 mop carpets?
No — it detects carpet and shields it with a protective cover over the roller mop, and the mop stays docked or covered on carpeted areas.
