iRobot Roomba 105 Combo Vacuum and Mop
Our verdict
The appeal is the dock, which swallows about two months of debris into a sealed bag so you are not emptying a thimble of dust every day. LiDAR mapping and automatic carpet avoidance while mopping put it well ahead of bump-and-turn robots, though this is a machine you maintain rather than forget.
- 75-day AutoEmpty dock bag
- ClearView LiDAR navigation
- 100-minute battery life
- Vacuum, mop or combo modes
Why we picked it
For daily crumbs and pet hair on hard floors, it does the job that actually matters, which is holding the baseline so you deep clean far less often. The mop pad handles dried spills rather than real grime, and because the robot detects carpet and steers the wet pad away from it, vacuuming and mopping can happen in a single pass.
Against a cheaper random-navigation robot, LiDAR is the upgrade you feel: neat rows, a remembered map, and keep-out zones you can draw in the app. Against flagship models you give up camera-based obstacle avoidance, so cables and socks still need picking up first. It suits reasonably tidy homes with mostly hard flooring.
Best for
- Hard floors with pet hair
- Homes with daily crumb duty
- People who hate emptying bins
Keep in mind
- Getting stuck under low furniture and on rug edges is the most common owner complaint.
- Several owners report it failing to find its dock, so keep the base clear and well lit.
- Replacement dock bags and mop pads are an ongoing cost worth budgeting for.
