“Not established” means we have not sourced that detail yet — not that the product has no model number, generation or regional variant. We publish the gap rather than filling it.
Compatibility
| Ecosystem | Support | The catch |
|---|---|---|
| Amazon Alexa | PartialPartial support — see the catch[3] | Voice through iRobot's cloud account link, and the scope is unstated in writing. iRobot's example is a scheduling command — 'Vacuum the kitchen at 10:00am' — and its footnote clarifies only that this means 'Alexa-enabled devices'. Nowhere does iRobot enumerate which commands work. Maps, room naming and Smart Clean stay in the Roomba Home app. |
| Google Home | PartialPartial support — see the catch[3] | Same sentence, same footnote, same unstated scope as the Alexa cell — and one wording detail carried accurately: iRobot names 'Google Assistant', the voice service, not 'Google Home', the platform. |
| Apple Home | PartialPartial support — see the catch[3] | Siri only, and not the Apple Home app. Apple's robot-vacuum support in Home requires a Matter-certified robot vacuum, and CSA's ledger holds no certificate for this model (see the catch), so it will not appear in the Home app at all. iRobot's footnote reads 'Works with Alexa, Siri, and Google Assistant-enabled devices' — voice, through iRobot's cloud. |
| SmartThings | InconclusiveWe researched this and the evidence doesn't settle it — the catch explains why[3] | Neither party has published anything about this model. iRobot's page enumerates exactly three voice services and SmartThings is not among them, which is a silence rather than a denial, and no Samsung documentation names it. |
| Home Assistant | InconclusiveWe researched this and the evidence doesn't settle it — the catch explains why[3] | Home Assistant does document an iRobot integration, and reading it is what keeps this cell at unknown rather than moving it up: its supported list names older Roomba models and not this one, and iRobot names Home Assistant nowhere in its own materials. Nothing primary establishes this SKU. |
? Inconclusive means we researched that ecosystem and the evidence doesn’t settle it — the catch says why, and the sources are listed below. It is a statement about the available evidence, never a verdict on the product. A Setup Check researches your exact setup where the official sources don’t answer.
Protocols: not yet established — no source we have read names the radios this device uses.[2]
Needs before it works: No hub, and no hub route either. Everything runs through the Roomba Home app and iRobot's cloud — 3D multi-floor maps, room naming, Smart Clean prioritisation, scheduling — and the three voice services iRobot names are cloud links to that same account. There is no Matter certificate for this robot, so there is no local Matter path to a controller you own, and no bridge or hub of any brand changes that.[3]
What it can do[7]
You can tell it to
- Start/stop
It reports
None documented by the vendor
Listed capabilities are what we could establish from vendor documentation. An ability missing here is unestablished — not necessarily absent.
Subscription reality[4]
✓ Works without a subscription: Yes.
Vendor account required: Not established — we have not sourced this yet.
No subscription is required and none is offered on this product page — no plan, membership or recurring fee appears, and no advertised feature is gated behind one. Worth stating explicitly rather than by omission, because iRobot is the one brand in this category that runs a recurring-fee programme at all: iRobot Select is a separate robot-plus-service membership and is not a condition of using this robot.
Maintenance reality[4]
- Works without the internet: Not established — we have not sourced this yet. It does not mean the product fails without the internet.
- A vacuum, not a vac-mop: the dock auto-empties and does nothing else, which is why it is several hundred dollars below the Combo models that wash mops. iRobot rates the carbon odor-control AllergenLock bags at 'up to 90 days of hands-free maintenance' — shorter than the 100 days the Dreame docks in this set claim, and the bags are a running cost (replacement 3-packs $19.99 on the same page, plus a $49.99 replenishment kit). Brushes are anti-tangle Dual Rubber Brushes with an anti-tangle Edge-Sweeping Brush. iRobot publishes no battery capacity, no runtime and no coverage area on this page, and no dimensions or weights — an unusually thin spec sheet for the price, and recorded as a gap rather than filled from elsewhere.
- Security updates: No security-update support date is on record for this model yet. We haven't yet checked whether iRobot publishes one, so this is a gap in our research — not a statement about the manufacturer.
The catch
🔴 No Matter certificate — checked by enumerating iRobot's entire registration in CSA's ledger rather than by searching for an absence. iRobot has exactly two models registered under its vendor ID, 'Roomba Combo 10 Max' and 'Roomba', and neither is the Max 715; a known-certified control returned normally in the same session. For an Apple household that is decisive, because Apple's Home app requires a Matter-certified robot vacuum, so this robot cannot appear there at all. Second catch, cheaper but more everyday: this is a vacuum only. The dock empties it and does not wash anything.
Who it's for
A busy, carpeted, pet-heavy home that wants strong suction and genuine anti-tangle hardware without paying for a mop it will not use — and that is happy living in the Roomba Home app with voice as a convenience. It is the wrong pick for an Apple Home household, for anyone wanting local control that survives iRobot's cloud, or for anyone who actually wants mopping, where iRobot's own Combo models sit $100–$300 above it.
