I tested the Roomba® 205 DustCompactor™ Combo for a while and would like to share my honest experience.
Pros
The suction power is great. It vacuums thoroughly and efficiently. The first scan of my home was fast and very accurate. The navigation also works excellently - it hardly bumps into anything and knows exactly where it is.
The app is clear and easy to use. I especially like that you can follow where it is cleaning live, and afterwards you can see exactly what it has done. It recognizes carpets and automatically adjusts the suction power, which is really handy. In addition, it is remarkably quiet, even while vacuuming.
The charging station is small and fits easily in a corner. The robot itself is also relatively compact, despite its functions. And the fact that it can vacuum and mop is of course a big plus.
Cons
However, there are also some disadvantages. The robot is just a little too high, which means it does not fit under certain furniture - such as my bed. That's a shame, because that's where dust often accumulates.
The mopping function is a bit disappointing. It takes a while for the mop to get wet, so the first few meters are just two wet stripes. By the time it really starts mopping, it's already halfway across the room.
The app usually works well, but sometimes the map gets stuck on "loading", which can be frustrating. I also found the initial installation a bit unclear: there is no clear manual and the explanation in the app leaves much to be desired.
Conclusion
The Roomba® 205 DustCompactor™ Combo is an excellent robot vacuum cleaner with smart navigation, quiet operation and a user-friendly app. The mopping function and the installation instructions could be better, but as a vacuum cleaner this is a very strong player

I am generally very satisfied with this Roomba. The installation was super fast: clear instructions on the box and a QR code that you can use to get started right away via the app. It does an impressive job of cleaning, my floors really shine after every round. What I find particularly useful is that you can choose whether it should only vacuum, mop, or both.
One of the biggest plus points is that it effortlessly gets over high thresholds. I didn't expect it to be able to drive from room to room without help, but it does so without any effort. The navigation works fine, although it doesn't always go smoothly. For example, it got stuck twice when it hit a piece of furniture and couldn't get loose by itself. If you're at home, that's easily solved, but if you schedule a cleaning program while you're away, it just stays put and its battery runs out.
The app is useful, but not yet perfect. When I got an error message about dirty sensors, I received instructions, but the button to get to these instructions didn't work. Not dramatic, but it does take away some of the ease of use. Despite all that, it remains a nice helper in the house and I am happy with how clean my home is without having to worry about it.

The Roomba 205 Combo black with the new app works bizarrely bad. Already on day 1 I contacted the Roomba service desk, they could indeed see that there was a malfunction, advice; unscrew the bottom and remove the battery for 30 minutes. Unfortunately it was to no avail. The errors;
After communicating about the various problems with the Roomba service desk, the only response I get is that they can imagine that I want to return the Roomba. No proposal for a solution is made. Are these known problems?!
We are extremely disappointed. We have had a lot of fun with the Roomba 555 for years, one of the first models. Indestructible and a go-getter, if there was ever an issue you could easily replace the parts yourself. I miss Stoffel!!
We are also satisfied with a newer Roomba model (with the previous app) that we have abroad, although we are a bit less satisfied because we find it more of a 'beeper' (the app sends you many notifications 'when my container is full', 'my brush needs to be cleaned', we did not have that problem with Stoffel. But in any case, this generation of Roomba works as intended.
Due to all the problems now, we have completely lost confidence in the Roomba, we suspect that a large part of the problems are caused by the new app that does not work. It is so disappointing that we are switching to another brand. Our advice; stop selling the new generation Roomba until the app problems are solved.
