iRobot Roomba 105 Combo Robot Vacuum & Mop - Easy to use, Intense Power-Lifting Suction, LiDAR Navigation, Multiple Cleaning Modes, Avoids Mopping Carpets, Self-Charging
Best for
Compact hard-floor homes with few rugs where you are willing to supervise early mapping and pre-tidy floors; skip if you expect polished multi-room mop routing or set-and-forget reliability.
What buyers say
The dockless Roomba 105 Combo divides buyers sharply: small-apartment owners get three years of daily vac-and-mop reliability, while others hit mapping loops, loud motors, and rug-navigation failures that make them swear off the brand. The 22% one-star slice is unusually high for a Roomba and worth weighing against the 50% five-star share.
Loved by buyers
- •Pet households in small apartments get hair-free floors with two-minute daily bin dumps and nightly schedules
- •LiDAR row cleaning and app room targeting work well for owners who tidy cords and toys before each run
- •Three-year survivors report solid durability and consistent maintenance cleaning between deeper manual sessions
Buyer concerns
- •First full-map runs can take over eight hours with multiple recharges on a single-story home under 2,000 sq ft
- •Mop mode detects rugs and stalls instead of routing around them; water-only pads leave corners and baseboards dry
- •Side brush jams into the bumper repeatedly; the bot may need a reboot after sitting idle for a week
Frequently Asked Questions
Can it handle pet hair?+
It effectively picks up pet hair from hard floors and rugs, but long hair may tangle on the brushes and require regular cleaning. Reviews from pet owners confirm daily hair removal, though some noted hair can wrap around the brush motor or clog the bin entrance.
Does the mapping work reliably?+
Mapping reliability is inconsistent; many users report the robot creates inaccurate layouts, gets stuck during mapping runs, or requires multiple attempts to save a map. Some reviewers mapped their home successfully on the first try, but most encountered issues.
Does it get stuck often?+
Yes, multiple reviewers say the robot frequently gets stuck under furniture, on rugs, or on door thresholds, and often repeats the same stuck spots. It may require frequent intervention and is not recommended for unsupervised cleaning.
Can I add cleaning solution to the mop?+
No, the mopping tank is designed for water only. One reviewer confirmed that adding cleaning solution is not supported, and the robot does not have a dispenser for solutions.
Will it avoid carpets when mopping?+
Yes, the robot detects carpets and automatically avoids them while the mop pad is attached, but mapping issues can cause it to occasionally cross onto rugs. Some users suggest setting no-mop zones in the app to prevent mishaps.
