The Roomba Max 775 Combo comes second because it gives pet owners most of what the flagships offer for $699.99 when we checked. Its PowerSpin roller mop washes itself with 75°C heated water and a built-in scraper as it cleans, so dirty water is not pushed around the kitchen, and iRobot adds heated spot mopping and 200 RPM scrubbing for dried spills and muddy paw prints. When the robot finds a rug, it lifts and covers the roller so carpets stay dry. Navigation pairs ClearView Pro LiDAR with PrecisionVision AI, which iRobot says now has enhanced pet-object recognition. Dual rubber brushes resist tangles, and the AutoWash dock empties into carbon odor-control bags, washes and dries the mop, and runs up to 3 months hands-free. iRobot quotes suction only as a multiple of an older model, so it cannot be compared to the Pa ratings here.
