R1 Battery replacement
0/8
Not replaceable, or not disclosed
No official battery for the Plus 515 is listed on irobot.es: a search for 'batería' returns only batteries for older Roomba/Braava lines. No iRobot document on whether the user can replace the battery was found. Not disclosed.
Of the 11 key modules, irobot.es sells only consumables for the 515: main brush, side brush, filter, mop pads and dock bags. No battery, wheel module, drive motor, bumper, dust bin, mop module, dock parts or mainboard is listed. The generic 'Módulo de rueda' is for older Roomba series.

R3 Parts in practice
3/5
The battery, or at least a quarter of key modules including a hardware module, orderable for such a model
Old model: Roomba i7+ with Clean Base (US Sept 2018, EU Q1 2019). It had no mop, so mop_module is N/A and there are 10 applicable modules. irobot.es sells, in stock: left/right wheel modules (EUR 29.99 each, i-series bought before 15 Jul 2024), main rubber brushes (EUR 34.99), side-brush module (EUR 14.99) and filters (EUR 29.99). The i/j/e lithium battery (EUR 119.99) and the washable bin for e-series/i7 (EUR 19.99) are listed but unavailable. Clean Base bags (EUR 19.99) are a dock consumable and are not counted as dock_parts. No bumper or mainboard is listed. 4 of 10 modules (40%) gives mid. If Clean Base bags counted as dock_parts it would be 5 of 10 (top).
The Roomba i7+ starts shipping in the U.S. and Canada on 12 September

R4 Repair information
0/5
None
No official service manual or repair guides for key modules of the Plus 515 were found. iRobot's care pages cover cleaning and consumable replacement only. iFixit has no Plus 515 device page (it has Plus 400 Series and Plus 505 Combo pages).
IRobot's Spanish limited warranty excludes damage from changes by the user or an unauthorised third party, and from non-iRobot spare parts. Whether parts are paired or serialised is not disclosed.

S2 Update track record
0/6
No evidence of updates for models 2+ years old
IRobot's own release notes, checked 2026-10-08, show no robot firmware for any model at least 2 years old in the last 12 months. Latest entries: j series 24.29.6 (2025-03-19), Combo 10 Max 1.12.11 (2025-05-14), i series 2023, s series 2022. Newer 2026 entries are for the 200/2000 series, first released 2025, and for the iRobot Home app, which is not firmware.
The commercial limited warranty in Spain is 2 years and excludes batteries and consumables. Spain's statutory guarantee is 3 years for goods bought after 2022-01-01, so nothing goes beyond the legal minimum. The Picea acquisition announcements say nothing about warranties.

Ownership & independence 5/20
I1 Works without the manufacturer's cloud
2/8
Account required for setup; runs offline afterwards
IRobot's EU Data Act statement says that without an account the robot can still clean, return to the dock and spot-clean from its buttons. The app needs an iRobot account and the cloud, and offline scheduled cleaning is not documented. After the Picea takeover iRobot said it anticipated no disruption to app functionality, but made no long-term cloud commitment.
potrà soltanto eseguire le funzioni di pulizia, ritorno alla base di ricarica e pulizia localizzata (azioni che possono essere attivate direttamente dal robot)

Cloud-only integrations
No Matter certificate for the Plus 515 was found in the CSA database; only Roomba Mini and 2025 models such as the 505 and 705 appear. The Home Assistant integration (local) does not work with the newer generation. Community reports say these models are cloud-only, with no local MQTT. The only community client found, roombapy-prime, is cloud-based.
It doesn't speak local MQTT with a blid/password at all ... it's cloud-only, different auth, different everything under the hood.

I3 No subscription for core features
3/3
Nothing advertised at purchase sits behind a subscription
The Spanish product page lists the features (LiDAR mapping, AutoWash, app, voice assistants) and mentions no subscription. No subscription tier for core functions was found.

I4 End-of-life commitment
0/3
None
No end-of-life commitment exists. The Spanish terms of service let iRobot stop offering or supporting parts of the Services, and the Picea-era statements only promise near-term continuity.
No chip, DRM or firmware check on consumables is documented; iRobot's Spanish warranty excludes damage from non-iRobot spare parts, which is a warning, not a block. No source showing third-party consumables working on the Plus 515 specifically could be opened. Set to mid for consistency with the other brands in this batch.

Privacy & security 4.3/10
P1 Security practice
2/4
One of the two
Published disclosure channel: a Bugcrowd bounty program plus a contact form, with a stated aim of mitigating within 90 days. No evidence of shipped fixes within 90 days of public disclosure was found.
The Plus 515 navigates with ClearView LiDAR. Neither iRobot product page (ES, US) mentions a camera or microphone, and voice control runs through external assistants. Context: the 2022 MIT Technology Review story covered J7 development units with cameras, not this model.
Plus 415 and 515 use LiDAR (ClearView); AI visual recognition is added only on the higher Plus models (575/615/675) [paraphrase of article]

P3 Data control

One of the two
Account and data deletion is available in-app (Account > kebab menu > 'Elimina account', done within 30 days). The privacy policy could not be retrieved (irobot.es privacy-policy returned HTTP 500; about.irobot.com renders in JavaScript only), so 'no sharing of device data for advertising' is not confirmed. After the acquisition, data governance for US and 'other global' data sits with iRobot Safe Corporation, a US entity.
