iRobot Announces New 'Roomba Combo 10 Max' With Matter and Apple Home Support [Video]

iRobot has announced its most advanced robot vacuum and mop ever, the Roomba Combo 10 Max Robot + AutoWash Dock. The robot features Matter support and is compatible with Apple Home.

The newly designed 2-in-1 Roomba Combo 10 Max brings independent cleaning to a new level with iRobot's first multifunction AutoWash Dock and added intelligence. Engineered to powerfully vacuum and mop multiple floor types, the Roomba Combo 10 Max + AutoWash Dock automatically refills and recharges the robot, washes and dries its mopping pad, empties debris and self-cleans so customers can worry less about maintaining their robot while keeping their floors immaculate.
Powered by iRobot OS, the Roomba Combo 10 Max features new Enhanced Dirt Detect Technology, which allows it to recognize large concentrations of dirt and debris up to 8x more frequently and clean even more in those areas like a person would. It will also be the first robot floor cleaner from iRobot to be compliant with the Matter smart home protocol and compatible with the Apple Home ecosystem.

"With the Roomba Combo 10 Max, iRobot is leveraging more than 20 years of floor cleaning innovation and expertise to bring customers our most powerful, independent and smartest robot yet," said Barry Schliesmann, chief product officer at iRobot. "Combining unique and proven innovations like the Auto-Retract Mop, 4-Stage Cleaning System, Dual Multi-Surface Brushes and reliable object avoidance with the new AutoWash Dock, the Roomba Combo 10 Max provides customers with our most complete solution for effectively vacuuming and deep scrubbing multiple surfaces. With the addition of Enhanced Dirt Detect Technology and future compatibility with Matter, the Roomba Combo 10 Max is also our most intelligent robot and will allow customers to more easily integrate it within a smart home ecosystem."




Here's a closer look at the features of the Roomba Combo 10 Max...

AutoWash Dock Does the Dirty Work for You
The stylish AutoWash Dock is crafted with premium antimicrobial materials and automatically empties dirt and debris into an enclosed bag, refills the mopping solution tank, and washes and dries the mop pad. The AutoWash Dock automatically cleans the dock after every pad wash to proactively prevent dirt and debris build-up. Customers can choose to run a manual self-clean cycle, and they are proactively reminded through the iRobot Home app when deeper cleaning or standard maintenance is needed. The AutoWash Dock handles dirt and debris emptying for up to 60 days and holds up to 7 days of water supply to wash the robot's mopping pad and self-clean. Customers can even ask their Roomba Combo 10 Max to clean the mop pad after cleaning specific rooms, like bathrooms, so messes don't get spread around the home.





An Expert in Dirt Elimination
The Roomba Combo 10 Max robot tackles dirt, pet fur and debris with precision. With its extraordinary dust and fiber pickup capabilities, it effortlessly banishes dirt from carpets, hard floors and even hard-to-reach corners. The 4-Stage Cleaning System features an Edge-Sweeping Brush for thorough corner cleaning, Dual Rubber Brushes that adjust to different floor types and avoid pet hair tangles, 100% stronger Power-Lifting Suction and deep-clean mopping. The robot cleans even deeper with Carpet Boost, automatically increasing suction power when it detects carpets. With SmartScrub, the Roomba Combo 10 Max mops back and forth with consistent pressure and 2x deeper scrubbing3 to eliminate stubborn messes like coffee and grime.

The Roomba Combo 10 Max seamlessly transitions from vacuuming carpet to mopping floors, and customers can rest easy knowing that their carpets will stay dry with D.R.I (Dry Rug Intelligence), only from iRobot. Unlike other 2-in-1s, the Roomba Combo 10 Max employs its durable metal Auto-Retract Mopping System when it detects carpet, lifting its mop pad to the top of the robot to keep even high-pile carpets fresh and dry. On hard floors, it vacuums and mops at the same time, keeping them shiny clean every single day.




Intelligence to Clean Like You Clean
Many of iRobot's products have had the ability to detect large quantities of dirt and debris using various sensors – and clean more in those areas like a customer would. With new Enhanced Dirt Detect Technology, the Roomba Combo 10 Max also uses its camera to visually pinpoint dirt on the floor, so it now recognizes the dirtiest areas up to 8x more frequently and keeps a cleaner home by making multiple passes in those areas.

Powered by iRobot OS and PrecisionVision Navigation, and leveraging robust machine learning capabilities, the Roomba Combo 10 Max creates a complete smart map of the home 7x faster and automatically labels each room type so customers can quickly and easily create routines for their robot to clean wherever they want after just one run. Dirt Detective lets the Roomba Combo 10 Max analyze past cleaning information to predict the cleanliness of each room and unlock intelligence for room prioritization, cleaning settings and even knowing when it is time to wash the mop pad. Customers can also pair their robot with Alexa, Siri, or Google Assistant-enabled devices to tell it where to clean using only their voice.

With its advanced navigation and object detection capabilities, the Roomba Combo 10 Max navigates under and around furniture, avoiding obstacles like stairs, cords, socks, shoes and more. This lets customers pick up less daily clutter before the robot cleans and gives them peace of mind the robot will complete its job without interruption. It also includes iRobot's Pet Owner Official Promise (P.O.O.P.) – it will steer clear of pet accidents, or iRobot will replace it for free.



Matter-Enabled and Apple Home Compatible for a Seamless Smart Home
The Roomba Combo 10 Max will be Matter-enabled in Q4 2024 and compatible with the Apple Home ecosystem. As a leader in consumer robots, iRobot has been working with smart home industry players to define and implement the robot vacuum cleaner (RVC) standard for Matter. Matter is built around a shared belief that smart home devices should be secure, reliable and seamless to use. It will enable communication across smart home devices, mobile app and cloud services.
