Editorial Review
The Roomba Plus 505 Combo is the most feature-complete iRobot model here, not because it has the highest raw suction number — at 7,000 Pa it's actually lower than the 415 Combo's 20,000 Pa — but because of what surrounds that suction: PrecisionVision AI is a genuine step up in obstacle recognition, specifically built to identify and steer around cords, socks and pet waste rather than just generic objects.
Matter compatibility is the other headline feature: this is the only model in our current lineup confirmed to work across Alexa, Google Assistant, Apple Home and Samsung SmartThings, which matters a great deal for households already invested in a specific smart-home ecosystem.
The AutoWash Dock's numbers are also class-leading here — 75 days of auto-emptying and 4 weeks of mop-pad washing with heated drying — making this the pick for buyers who want the fewest possible manual maintenance tasks, obstacle surprises, and smart-home compatibility headaches, at a premium price.
Pros
- PrecisionVision AI specifically recognizes cords, socks and pet waste
- Matter-compatible across Alexa, Google, Apple Home and SmartThings
- AutoWash Dock: 75-day auto-empty + 4-week mop wash and heated dry
- ClearView Pro LiDAR mapping
Cons
- Lower raw suction (7,000 Pa) than the 415 Combo's 20,000 Pa
- Highest price tier in iRobot's lineup here
- No confirmed per-charge runtime or robot weight/dimensions
Best for: Households that want the most advanced obstacle recognition and the broadest smart-home ecosystem support, and don't mind a lower raw suction number.
Who should skip it: Buyers chasing the highest possible suction figure — the 415 Combo rates much higher on paper.
