iRobot Roomba Max 875 Combo: what we know so far
Our verdict
A reasonable pick for carpet-heavy homes that want a roller mop, but owner data is thin. It launched Sept. 2, 2026, and we found one detailed review from a buyer plus a handful of short Reddit posts. That reviewer reports thorough, quiet vacuuming and a clean mop finish, but says ThermaMist is warm mist, not steam, and it struggled with a liquid coffee spill.

What do iRobot Roomba Max 875 Combo + AutoWash Dock owners say?
What owners say
Praise
- A reviewer who bought one with their own money reports very thorough vacuuming, no hair wrap, quiet operation through every dock cycle, good dodging of fake pet waste and a clean mop finish.
- The same reviewer says setup was easy and it found some carpet on its own.
Complaints
- On a liquid coffee spill, ThermaMist added more water, the side brush kept spinning through it and the wheels tracked it before a later mop pass cleaned up.
- The reviewer measured no real heat on the floor ('warm mist, not steam'), found the spot-clean size fixed, saw streaks at maximum water and notes a proprietary solution bottle.
- Reddit owner threads are still few, so we cannot yet report recurring long-term problems.

Does the iRobot Roomba Max 875 Combo + AutoWash Dock make sense in Florida?
For Florida tile, the PowerSpin Max roller (18 N, 140°F water, company claims) and 176°F dock wash with 131°F drying suit humid months. The reviewer saw streaks at maximum water, which shows most on dark tile.
The Roomba Max 875 Combo is a credible carpet-first robot with a roller mop, but it's too new for a firm verdict. It costs $1,199.99 with the AutoWash dock.
What are the Roomba Max 875 Combo's specs?

What do early Roomba Max 875 owners say?
We found one detailed review from a buyer who paid for it (Just A Dad, Oct. 26, 2026). It reports thorough vacuuming, no hair wrap, quiet dock cycles, good avoidance of fake pet waste and a clean mop finish. On a coffee spill, ThermaMist added more water, the side brush kept spinning through it and the wheels tracked it before a later pass cleaned up. The reviewer also notes a fixed spot-clean size, streaks at max water and a proprietary solution bottle.
Reddit threads are still few and short, so we can't report long-term patterns yet.
