Features

Overview: The Roomba Combo® i5+ (i557020) from iRobot is a Wi-Fi connected, self-emptying combination robot vacuum and mop. With Roomba\’s 4-Stage Cleaning System which includes powerful suction and a unique mop, the Combo® i5+ automatically cleans the rooms you want when you want. The iRobot Home App can customize your cleaning schedule, while voice assistants Amazon Alexa, Siri, and Google Assistant let you start cleaning with a simple voice command. The Combo® i5+ comes with the Clean Base® Automatic Dirt Disposal and charging station, a dust bin for vacuuming and a combination bin for mopping, two dirt disposal bags, a reusable microfiber mopping pad, and spare High-Efficiency Filter.

Cleaning Power: The Roomba Combo® i5+ cleans your floors effectively with its premium 4-Stage Cleaning System. Dirt Detect™ Technology recognizes areas where dirt has accumulated and gives them a more thorough cleaning. Dual Multi-surface Rubber Brushes, one loosens the dirt while the other lifts, help tackle tough dirt and grime on any surface. The Roomba automatically adjusts for hard surfaces or carpet, so there\’s no need to change the settings. The rubber brushes stay in contact with wood, tile, and carpet to pick up the dirt more efficiently than bristles. In addition, they avoid tangles from human and pet hair, so there\’s less maintenance. A rotating Edge-Sweeping Brush sweeps dirt, pet hair, and dust from along the wall edges and in corners. The Combo® i5+\’s Power-Lifting Suction, 10x more powerful than the Roomba 600 series, pulls in the dirt and debris, while a High-Efficiency Filter captures 99% of pollen, mold, dust mites, and other allergens. The dirt and debris are captured in a removable bin, which is automatically emptied into the included Clean Base® Automatic DirtDisposal. The bin can be hand-rinsed with water. To mop the floor, simply change from the dust bin to the combo bin, fill it with water, put on the mopping pad, and start mopping.

Clean Base®: The Combo® i5+ comes with the Clean Base Automatic Dirt Disposal and charging station where the vacuum charges its battery and stores when not in use. At the end of a job, or when the removable bin becomes full, Roomba returns to the Clean Base where the contents of the dirt bin are automatically emptied into the base. When the bag becomes full (indicated by a glowing red LED on the front panel), simply remove the self-sealing bag, dispose into the trash can, and put a new one in the base. The Combo i5+ can empty itself into the Clean Base for up to 60 days. The Clean Base should be placed in an area with no obstacles within 1.5 feet to either side, or within 4 feet in front. To prevent the robot from falling downstairs, Clean Base should be placed at least 4 feet from stairs. The base plugs into an AC outlet via its removable 6\’ power cord.

Mopping Mode: The Combo® i5+ comes with an interchangeable Combo Bin and reuseable mopping pad for cleaning hardwood and hard surface floors. Just remove the dust bin and replace it with the Combo Bin full of water, attach the mopping pad, and start a cleaning mode. You can use just water or an iRobot-approved cleaning solution in the Combo Bin. The Combo Bin can be used for vacuuming, as it has a dust bin in addition to a water tank.

Reactive Sensor Technology: The robot vacuum is equipped with numerous sensors to help it maneuver the natural obtacles in your home while it cleans. The front of the unit has an infrared sensor to identify objects in its path. If the unit bumps into a chair leg or wall, the impact is softened by the smart bumper on the front, and a sensor causes it to turn away from the obstacle. Four \”cliff sensors\” along the front and sides let the vacuum know that it is nearing a dropoff, such as stairs or a balcony, and the unit will back away from the ledge. Wall sensors allow the Roomba to follow the path of the wall as it cleans. Other sensors also detect the clearance under chairs and couches so the vacuum doesn\’t get hung up. Dirt Detect sensors also recognize areas of your floors that need more attention, and those that don\’t. The Room Confinement Sensor (RCON), a round clear sensor on the top of vacuum, allows Roomba to detect the Home Base so it can return for charging. RCON also works with optional Virtual Wall Barriers to create boundaries for the vacuum to work within.

Onboard Controls: The Roomba i5+ has three onboard controls:

• Clean/Power: The large Clean/Power button wakes up the vacuum to begin cleaning. It has a light ring indicator surrounding the button to display the battery and charging status.
• Home: The Home button instructs the vacuum to stop cleaning and return to the Home Base.
• Spot Clean: The Spot Clean button allows Roomba to intensely clean a localized area by spiraling outward to a diameter of about three feet and then spiraling inward to the spot where it began.

Regular Maintenance: Periodically, the Roomba needs regular care and cleaning to maintain optimum performance. The bin bag should be replaced when full. The vacuum\’s dirt and Combo bins should be rinsed out with water as needed. The High-Efficiency Filters should be gently cleaned once a week–more frequently if you have pets. It should be replaced every couple of months. The Full Bin sensor and Front Caster Wheel need cleaning every two weeks. The Edge-Sweeping and Multi-Surface brushes require cleaning every month, and replaced every 12 months. The sensors and charging contacts should be wiped clean once a month. The mopping pad should be hand- or washing machine-cleaned after every mopping job, and replaced after approximately 30 washes.

Power: The Roomba Combo® i5+ is powered by a user-replaceable Lithium-ion rechargeable battery. The battery fully charges in approximately 2 hours while docked in the Clean Base. Initially, the battery should be charged at least 3 hours. The Combo® i5+ supports Recharge and Resume. When the battery is running low, the vacuum returns to the charging station to recharge, then picks up where it left off, until the task is complete. The battery should last up to 400 charge cycles before being replaced with a new battery obtained from the manufacturer.

Wi-Fi: The Combo® i5+ connects to your home\’s 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi network. You can control it with the iRobot Home App on your smartphone or tablet.

iRobot Home App: The iRobot Home app is essential to the operation of the Combo® i5+. With the app loaded to your smartphone or tablet, you can choose when and where to clean, and create custom cleaning schedules. When cleaning is complete, you can view a Cleaning Report in the app, showing the date and time of the cleaning job, the length/duration, and total area (square feet) cleaned. The app learns your scheduling preferences, and can even suggest extra cleanings during peak pollen season, or when your pets typically shed the most. The iRobot Home app works with iPhone and iPod touch running iOS 14.0 or later, and with iPad with iPadOS 14.0 or later. It is also compatible with Android devices (version varies with device).

Voice Assistants: The Combo® i5+ can be operated by voice command through your favorite Voice Assistant. You can ask Siri, Amazon Alexa, or Google Assistant to ask Roomba to start cleaning, and the robot vacuum will begin a cleaning cycle.
