AH Real Deal: IRobot’s Roomba Combo I5 Drops To Just $199

Currently, you can pick up the iRobot Roomba Combo i5 for just $199. That’s going to save you $150 off of the regular price, which does bring it back down to an all-time low.

Keep in mind that this is not the “plus” model, so you’re not getting the auto-empty dock here. Instead, you do get mopping and vacuuming in the same robot vacuum, which is really nice to have. This is the lower-end Roomba Combo, which means you will need to swap out the dustbins here instead of it lifting the mop up entirely.

The Roomba Combo i5 does have iRobot’s 4-stage cleaning system, which includes a multi-surface rubber brush which can adjust to different floor types. This rubber brush is actually really great, I’ve reviewed over Roomba’s with this brush and it performs beautifully. This is because it is able to get closer to the floor, and pick up more dirt and debris.

On the mopping side of things, the mop pad is able to clean up pretty nicely too, and you can use compatible cleaning solutions in the water reservoir. This is important because some cleaning solutions will clogg up the system.

Of course, with the iRobot HOME app, you have access to Google Assistant, Amazon Alexa and Apple Homekit for automated and hands-free cleaning of your home. You can also create a schedule in the app. This is a really great robot vacuum, and a perfect first robot vacuum.
