iRobot Roomba 105 Combo Robot review

The Roomba 105 Combo Robot is the cheapest iRobot on this list and the simplest vacuum and mop combo to live with. At $199.99 when we checked, it maps your home with ClearView LiDAR and cleans in neat rows, even in the dark, and you can pick vac only, mop only or both. Its most useful trick for a budget robot is Carpet Detect: iRobot says it knows not to mop rugs with no programming, so you can mop hard floors around a rug without setup. A micro-pump keeps the microfiber pad evenly wet, and SmartScrub adds 2x deeper scrubbing. You can schedule rooms, set keep-out zones and adjust suction in the app or by voice. The limits are clear: this version has no self-emptying dock, iRobot gives suction only as 70X more than an older model, and the pad is not washed or lifted. The Roborock Q7 L5 is cheaper for vacuuming alone. We compared documented features and published prices.
