The suction power reaches 20,000 Pa, enough to remove dust, pet hair, crumbs, and stubborn dirt even in the busiest homes. The main rubber and bristle brush ensures effective action on both hard floors and carpets, while the tangle-free brushes prevent hair accumulation, a useful feature for those living with pets.

On the washing front, the robot uses an 80 ml integrated tank that continuously feeds the mops with hot water up to 75°C during the cleaning cycle. The DualSpin technology combined with SmartScrub allows the rotating mops to apply greater pressure on dry stains and footprints, which makes for a result comparable to a thorough manual wash.

The AutoWash station is the true distinguishing element of the system: after each session, it automatically empties the collected dust, washes the mops at 60°C, and dries them with warm air to avoid moisture buildup and bad odors. This process keeps the cloths always sanitized and ready for the next cycle, drastically reducing the maintenance required from the user.

The design of the Roomba Plus 516 Combo is also 15% thinner than previous models, allowing the robot to reach difficult areas such as under beds, furniture, and sofas, places where dust and dirt tend to accumulate without regular cleaning.

Navigation is based on ClearView LiDAR technology, a laser system that builds multi-level maps of the home and recognizes real-time obstacles like cables, shoes, and scattered objects, avoiding them during its path. The device is controlled via a dedicated app, with the possibility to schedule cleaning room by room, and it is compatible with Alexa for voice control of cleaning tasks.
