Our take
iRobot Roomba Plus 575 Combo
Compact hardware and useful mopping are promising, but one extended test found repeated Wi-Fi disconnections and limited coverage per charge.
Compact design, mopping and obstacle handling.
Connectivity trouble in one test; recharge stops and hair wrapping.
Homes prioritising vacuum-and-mop cleaning.
Buyers who want a basic vacuum without mopping, advanced navigation or dock automation.

- Self-servicing AutoWash dock
What reviewers found
The Plus 575 Combo’s compact size and practical mopping receive positive feedback, but one extended reviewer encountered repeated Wi-Fi disconnections and limited coverage per charge. That makes the early verdict conditional rather than a settled return to form for every household.
Compact size helps around furniture
Useful mopping and obstacle handling
Both reviewers were positive about its mopping and object avoidance. Just A Dad specifically found the internal water supply kept pads wet during a job. Magazyn T3 liked edge reach while recognising that room corners still require realistic expectations. These findings support daily cleaning help, without guaranteeing removal of every dried mess.
[1][2]Connectivity interrupted one extended trial
Just A Dad reported recurring Wi-Fi disconnections that required a hard restart. The reviewer also mentions an audience poll, but that is not a representative failure-rate survey. Magazyn T3’s review does not describe the same problem. We would retain the complaint as an important observed limitation rather than call it proven across the entire model.
[1][2]Larger homes and long hair add work
Just A Dad found repeated recharge stops on a larger floor plan and long strands wrapped around the brush. Magazyn T3 also highlighted slow charging, limited pad lift and loud emptying. Our reading is that the compact design is most appealing for smaller spaces, with less reassurance for buyers expecting quick, uninterrupted whole-house cleaning.
[1][2]Regional packages may differ; the separate 575X is not covered. The Wi-Fi issue is attributed to the reviewer, not asserted as a measured model-wide rate.
