iRobot is making smart moves in 2024. First, it finally gave the people what they wanted — a Roomba that washes and dries its own mopping pads, damn it — in July. iRobot debuted the Roomba Combo 10 Max + AutoWash Dock at $1,399, the same debut price as last year's Roomba Combo j9+ that doesn'tself-clean its mop.

Now, for the grand finale: iRobot gave the Roomba Combo 10 Max its first discount ever during October Prime Day, dropping it to a sweet $999. Somehow, that sale price is still live the day after Prime Day. $1,000 for a robot vacuum seems pricey until you realize that that's simply in line with pricing for most of the flagship robot vacs from other brands, and iRobot finally humbling itself to competitive pricing is always a treat.

Here's our hot take: If you're going to spend more than $500 on a Roomba, make it this one. That's a practical hard-stop budget when trying to decide which Roomba model is best for you. If you can spend a little extra coin, there's no reason to settle for the s9+ or j9+, which simply do a lot less than the Combo 10 Max. The AutoWash Dock's ability to deal with its own mopping pad after mopping, taking the burden off of its human to touch a soggy, mildewy pad and throw it in the washing machine. This, plus the self-emptying that we've seen on a ton of Roombas, finally creates the ultimate hands-off cleaning and maintenance experience that's becoming the standard for 2-in-1 hybrid robot vacs.

The Combo 10 Max also borrows some of iRobot's best features from the OG Roomba hybrid, the Combo j7+ that I really liked when I first tested it. These are the auto-lifting mop, which completely lifts itself over the vacuum to avoid getting carpet wet, and iRobot's PrecisionVision small obstacle avoidance, which detects and avoids small obstacles like cords, pet waste, and socks. iRobot performs both of these tasks more accurately than any other robot vacuums I've tested.

Cleaning-wise, the Combo 10 Max is also iRobot's best. It deploys a four-stage suction system compared to the three-stage approach that most cheaper Roombas use, has stronger sheer suction power and more intense scrubbing than any model but the Combo j9+ (which cleans identically), and has enhanced brainpower that pays more attention to dirtier areas.
