Owner reviews
A strong robot vacuum with real strengths
In our independent assessment, the iRobot Roomba i5+ earns 78/100 — a very good robot vacuum.
Its strongest area is smart features (78/100), followed by quietness (72/100). In practice, affordable self-empty.
The main caveat is battery life, where it scores 61/100. Specifically, no mopping.
At €479, it sits below the typical price for the category — strong value. A dependable pick if its strengths line up with your priorities.

Does this robot vacuum empty itself?
Models with a self-emptying dock vacuum their bin into a larger bag automatically, so you only empty it every few weeks. Check the “self-emptying” spec above.
Can it avoid obstacles and pet messes?
Robots with AI camera or reactive obstacle avoidance steer around cables, shoes and pet waste. LiDAR handles mapping; a camera adds object recognition.
How loud is it?
Most robot vacuums run between 55–70 dB — about as loud as a normal conversation. See the noise level spec for this model.
Does it work on both carpet and hard floors?
Yes. It auto-adjusts suction on carpet, and models with a liftable mop raise the pads to avoid soaking rugs.
