The new flagship Roomba has a unique mopping feature for tackling dried-on dirt — and it might be the thing that restores iRobot to its former robovac glory
The Roomba Max 875 Combo will mist your hard floors to loosen dried-on dirt and dislodge grease.
iRobot has introduced its latest flagship Roomba Max 875 Combo, a combination robovac and mop designed to tackle dried-on dirt on hard floors. The vacuum features a unique technology called ThermaMist, which sprays heated mist to pre-treat stains before mopping. This innovative solution aims to improve the mopping performance, which has historically been underwhelming in robot vacuums.
The heating process occurs within the dock, rather than the robot itself, to conserve battery life. Additionally, iRobot has implemented a SealForce system, a skirt-like structure around the suction inlet, to enhance mopping efficiency by lowering the cleaning head closer to the floor and improving airflow through carpet fibers.
The Roomba Max 875 Combo boasts impressive suction power of 35,000Pa, putting it on par with the highest suction ratings available. Priced at £1,099 in the UK, the Roomba Max 875 Combo is now available for purchase, although its availability in the US remains uncertain due to a recent FCC ban on foreign-made advanced robots.
