Only from Roomba®, the 205 DustCompactor™ Vac Robot raises the cleaning bar with the industry's first-ever mechanical debris compactor right onboard. Dirt and dust are suctioned up, continuously compacted, and contained inside the robot for up to 60 days at a time. The 3-stage Vacuuming System combines 70X more* power-lifting suction, a rubber brush that grabs all kinds of debris from crumbs in the kitchen to sandy footprints in the entry, and a corner brush that reaches into tight spaces and pulls up dust-bunnies wherever they gather. ClearView™ LiDAR ensures fast mapping, navigation & complete room coverage, while safely avoiding obstacles. With its first-of-a-kind mechanical compacting system, there's no need for a separate self-emptying dock to clutter up your beautiful floors.
*As compared to Roomba® 600 series robots
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Roomba 205 DustCompactor is an efficient everyday vacuum and its built-in compactor really reduces how often I need to empty it. It does a great job picking up all kinds of debris and generally navigates rooms well. However, the mapping can be a bit inconsistent, and it tends to bump into things more often than expected, though it’s gentle and not a major issue. For best results, the floor should be clear, as clutter can confuse its navigation. Despite those small quirks, it’s made my cleaning routine much easier and is definitely worth having.. Kim_k_9340.
