Techstination, your destination for gadgets and gear.   I’m Fred Fishkin.        Hard to believe that it has been three decades since the word Roomba entered into our vocabulary.   Now, iRobot, the pioneering company behind the robotic vacuum is out with the Combo 10 Max Robot Plus.   It mops and vacuums with Enhanced Dirt Detect, will be Matter smart home compatible and the mop auto-retracts to the top to keep carpets dry.  The new AutoWash Dock has antimicrobial technology.    IRobot’s Warren Fernandez..

“Having a dock that is smart enough to know when it needs to be kept clean, when the robot pad should be cleaned.  These are thoughtful features that we at iRobot really think about deeply.”

As with other flagship robotic vacuums…all of this capability doesn’t come cheap.  The Combo 10 Max Robot Plus is priced at about 14 hundred dollars.
