iRobot Roomba 105 Combo Robot + AutoEmpty Dock review

The iRobot Roomba 105 Combo Robot + AutoEmpty Dock is the lowest-cost way onto this list. At $299.99 on sale, it includes ClearView LiDAR that maps the home and cleans in neat rows even in the dark, and a dock that empties the robot for up to 75 days into a bag iRobot says traps 99% of allergens as small as 0.7 microns. iRobot lists 70X more suction as a relative figure rather than in Pa, plus a multi-surface bristle brush, an edge-sweeping brush and a microfiber mop pad. Carpet Detect keeps it from mopping rugs. It ranks eighth because mopping is basic, with no pad washing at the dock, and because the Roborock Q7 M5+ adds a published 10,000 Pa rating for $60 more. The regular price is $469.99. We compared documented features and published prices only.
