iRobot Roomba Max 705 Vac
The Max 705 Vac makes the most sense in carpet-heavy or mixed homes where vacuuming and pet-hair control matter more than floor washing. It avoids the water tanks and mop maintenance of an AutoWash system, but buyers should compare its real cleaning value with cheaper vacuum-only and combo rivals rather than paying for the Roomba name alone.
The main things to know before buying are it cannot mop, so homes wanting regular hard-floor washing need a different model and independent laboratories have tested the Max 705, but detailed comparative results are still limited.
