Pros and cons

According to our robot vacuum expert

  • The robot recognizes trains and clean extra thoroughly with its rotating mopping pads until the stain is gone.
  • Because the mop protrudes along edges and baseboards, the robot doesn't miss stains and other dirt.
  • The cleaning station washes the mopping pads and then dries them with hot air, so they don't stay wet in the station.
  • The cleaning station is relatively large, so it takes up some space in your home.

Description

The iRobot Roomba Plus 505 + White vacuums your floors and also removes stains. Thanks to the rotating mopping pads, the robot scrubs thoroughly. Does the robot spot a stain? It scrubs it extra thoroughly for a clean result. The mop also removes dust and dirt along baseboards and edges, because it protrudes. Is there carpet? The mopping pads lift automatically, so your rugs stay dry. The cleaning station washes the mopping pads and dries them with hot air. It also empties the dust cup automatically, so you have to do less work. With 7000 Pascal suction power, it vacuums dust and crumbs easily. You don't have to tidy up your floor before the robot makes it cleaning rounds. Thanks to the object detection, it neatly moves around furniture and shoes lying around.

My best iRobot so far

  • Vacuums and mops at the same time
  • The mop cloth is extendable
  • Fairly smart, smarter than previous generations
  • The new iRobot app
Of all the iRobot machines I have had, this is by far the best. I was allowed to test this machine to give my honest opinion. I was skeptical because iRobot has stood still in terms of development for a while and has been surpassed on all sides in the meantime. Fortunately, I was pleasantly surprised and this machine does its job well, a lot better than my current Roomba i8 and Jet m6 combination. What I especially like is that you don't have to worry about it. I empty the dirty water tank every day and fill the fresh water tank and that's about it. I do notice that this 505 uses quite a lot of water because the tank is not very small but is still empty every day in a space of ±90m2. Other plus points are certainly that this Roomba finally uses Lidar navigation, which means that it can also do its job in the dark. My old machines cannot do this, for example, because they rely on a camera to navigate and this one cannot see much in the dark. After cleaning, the mops are cleaned in the base station and then dried with warm air, which is also very nice and the mops stay reasonably fresh. The only thing that really disappointed me is the new iRobot app. Getting the Roomba 505 to run its first lap requires a lot of patience and in my household with 4 children and a dog it is impossible to get it to make a map properly first. I finally did this once when we were all gone, after that it went well. Later I also discovered that you can set per room how the Roomba should treat it (clean twice, vacuum first and then mop, etc.). However, you only see this when you scroll down when you want to press the cleaning button. These are points that could be improved, in addition to the totally failed time indications of 10,000+ hours and English texts mixed with Dutch. Last downside of the new app in my case; you cannot operate your old Roomba and Braava models with it.

the best irobot ever

  • fantastic vacuuming and mopping
  • goes out of the way
  • returns to its dock in time when the pads need to be washed
  • can't vacuum without mopping at least I can't do that
it is a fantastic robot that does its job well and it no longer goes over all kinds of legs and obstacles but neatly goes around them

Handy help in the household

  • Vacuums and mops simultaneously
  • Empties its dust container independently
  • Doesn't crash into everything
  • Not found yet
The Roomba does what it has to do. Does its thing independently, without complaining. Saves me a lot of time. Easy to set via the app whether it should vacuum, vacuum + mop or vacuum first and then mop.
