iRobot Roomba Max 775 Combo

Compiled by SmartHomeWorkflow Research · iRobot · Robot Vacuums & Mops · ~$999.99 (iRobot's own US store price on 2026-08-02, matching the $999.99 MSRP stated in iRobot's launch press release of 2026-07-07. No compare-at or list price is shown on the product page. iRobot's store carries a second SKU number for this product, X285220, alongside the X285020 recorded here; both resolve to the same Roomba Max 775 Combo product page family, and under this catalogue's record-unit rule a colour or bundle variant is a prose fact rather than a separate record.)

“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

EcosystemSupportThe catch
Apple HomePartialPartial support — see the catch[1][3][10]Siri only, and not the Home app. iRobot's product page says 'Alexa, Siri, or Google Assistant³ voice control enables hands-free commands', with footnote 3 reading in full 'Works with Alexa, Siri, and Google Assistant-enabled devices. Alexa and all related logos are trademarks of Amazon.com or its affiliates. Google and Google Home are trademarks of Google LLC. Siri is a registered trademark of Apple Inc.' That is a voice claim about Siri-enabled devices, not a claim about Apple Home, and iRobot never mentions Apple Home or Matter on this page. Apple's own requirement is published and this robot does not meet it: the Home app feature 'requires a Matter-compatible robot vacuum cleaner', and there is no Matter certificate for this SKU. So the robot will not appear as an accessory in the Home app, will not join Home automations, and cannot be sent to a room by Siri under Apple's stated Matter 1.4 requirement. What works is Siri talking to iRobot's own app.
Amazon AlexaPartialPartial support — see the catch[1][8]First-party and uncaveated as far as it goes, and it does not go far in writing. iRobot claims Alexa voice control and its footnote clarifies only that this means 'Alexa-enabled devices'; nowhere does iRobot enumerate which commands work. The Matter ceiling is irrelevant here because there is no Matter on this SKU — the route is iRobot's cloud skill, and the party who could publish its scope has not. Recorded partial: the claim is real, the scope is unstated, and everything depends on iRobot's cloud staying up.
Google HomePartialPartial support — see the catch[1][9]Same sentence, same footnote, same unstated scope — and one wording detail worth carrying accurately: iRobot names 'Google Assistant', the voice service, not 'Google Home', the app and platform. Its trademark footnote mentions both, but the capability claim is about Assistant-enabled devices. As with Alexa, there is no Matter path on this SKU, so this is iRobot's cloud integration and nothing else.
SmartThingsInconclusiveWe researched this and the evidence doesn't settle it — the catch explains why[7]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 or SmartThings documentation naming the Roomba Max 775 Combo was found. Unlike the Narwal record in this catalogue, there is no Matter certificate here to leave a controller route open, so this is a straightforward absence on both sides. Recorded unknown with the absence marked.
Home AssistantInconclusiveWe researched this and the evidence doesn't settle it — the catch explains why[6]Home Assistant does document an iRobot integration, and reading it is what keeps this cell at unknown rather than moving it up. Its own page lists the models it has been tested against — 'iRobot Roomba s9+, Roomba 980, Roomba 960, Roomba 890, and Braava jet m6' plus 'older Wi-Fi enabled Roomba or Braava like the 690' — and none is a Max-series robot. It also carries an explicit exclusion: the integration 'currently does NOT work with the newer x05 Wi-Fi models, such as Roomba 105, 405, and 505'. The Max 775 Combo is a 2026 model and is named nowhere in either list, so neither support nor non-support is documented for it. Reading the exclusion as covering this robot would be a guess, and reading the tested-model list as covering it would be a bigger one. Recorded unknown with the absence marked, and worth a re-read whenever that integration's supported-model list changes.

? 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.[3][7][14]

Needs before it works: No hub, and no hub route either. Everything on this robot runs through the Roomba Home app and iRobot's cloud: iRobot describes 'The easy-to-use Roomba® Home App' as the place where scheduling rooms and targeting pet zones happen, and the three voice services it names are cloud links to that same account. There is no Matter certificate for this SKU, so there is no local Matter path to a controller you own, and no bridge or hub of any brand changes that. If the app and the account are a problem for you, this is not a robot with a way around them.[1]

Subscription reality[5]

✓ 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 — iRobot's page for the Max 775 Combo makes no mention of a plan, a membership or a recurring fee, and no advertised feature is gated behind one. This is worth stating explicitly rather than by omission, because iRobot is the one brand in this launch set that runs a recurring-fee programme at all. iRobot Select is a robot-plus-service membership, and its own portal at select.irobot.com currently reads: 'Currently, we are not accepting new subscriptions. Check back soon for updates.' So the programme exists, is closed to new members as of this check, and has nothing to do with buying this robot outright. A reported $9.99-per-month 'Home Intelligence Plus' tier is not recorded on this record: no iRobot surface read in this pass mentions it, and this catalogue does not publish a subscription fact on secondary sourcing.

Maintenance reality[1][2]

The catch

The headline fact is one iRobot does not put on the page: this robot has no Matter certificate. iRobot holds twelve of them, and every single one is for the Roomba Max 705 Vac, the Max 705 Combo or the Plus 504 Vac — the previous generation. The Max 775 Combo, launched 2026-07-07, has none. That matters most for Apple households, because Apple's own Home app page states the feature 'requires a Matter-compatible robot vacuum cleaner', so this robot will not appear in the Home app at all; what iRobot claims is Siri voice control through its own app, which is a different product. If you saw that the 705 supports Matter and assumed the newer, more expensive 775 must too, that is exactly the inference this record exists to interrupt — and iRobot's own certificate metadata shows why it is unsafe: the 705 Combo's certificate is titled 'Roomba Max 705 Combo' while its description field reads 'Roomba Plus 505 Combo robot + AutoWash dock'. Second, the ecosystem claim is one sentence: 'Alexa, Siri, or Google Assistant³ voice control enables hands-free commands', and the footnote it points at is a trademark notice, not a capability list. Note the precise wording — 'Google Assistant', the voice service, not Google Home. Third, everything runs through iRobot's cloud. There is no local route, no hub option, no Matter fallback, and Home Assistant's iRobot integration names no Max-series robot at all while explicitly excluding iRobot's other recent models. Fourth, the corporate history is a real part of the purchase and iRobot documents it first-party: the company went through a pre-packaged Chapter 11 and, on 2026-01-23, announced that Picea — Shenzhen PICEA Robotics and Santrum Hong Kong — had acquired 100% of its equity, making iRobot a privately held company wholly owned by Picea. iRobot says its Bedford, Massachusetts headquarters stays, and that it set up a separate US subsidiary, iRobot Safe Corporation, with an independent US board and a US-based Data Security Officer, specifically for consumer-data protection. What iRobot did not publish in that release is any warranty or support-duration commitment, and for a robot whose every feature depends on a cloud service, that absence is the thing to weigh. Finally, one genuine plus buried in the specification table: the battery is LFP rather than lithium-ion, alone in this launch set.

Who it's for

Someone who wants the dock to do the unpleasant parts — auto-empty, a roller mop washed at 167 °F and heat-dried, cleaning solution dispensed automatically — and who is happy for the robot to live inside iRobot's app with voice as a convenience. It fits an Alexa or Google Assistant household at the start-stop-and-status level, and a Siri user who is content with voice rather than the Home app. It is the wrong pick for an Apple Home household, because Apple requires a Matter-certified robot vacuum and this SKU has no certificate — the previous-generation Max 705 does, and that certificate does not transfer. It is also the wrong pick for anyone who wants local control or a documented Home Assistant route, where the integration names no Max-series model and excludes iRobot's other recent lines. And if a manufacturer's ownership and continuity matter to you, this is the one record in the set where that question is live rather than theoretical: read the January 2026 restructuring facts above, note that iRobot published no support-duration commitment alongside them, and decide with the cloud dependency in mind.
