iRobot Roomba 105 Vac Robot Vacuum - Easy to use, Intense Power-Lifting Suction, LiDAR Navigation, Multi-Surface Cleaning, Cleans in Neat Rows, Self-Charging
Best for
Affordable LiDAR Roomba for hard-floor homes and apartments with pets where the big bin and row cleaning shine; larger carpeted homes will want the AutoEmpty sibling and a spare battery.
What buyers say
The dockless Roomba 105 Vac wins over iRobot upgraders who remember tiny bins and constant sensor cleaning on old E and I series models. Battery limits it to two rooms per charge on larger layouts, and the Roomba Home app buries routine settings in ways that annoy even patient owners.
Loved by buyers
- •Massive onboard bin holds several days of debris versus old Roomba models that needed emptying after every run
- •ClearView LiDAR maps a floor in minutes then vacuums in neat rows instead of random bumping
- •Golden retriever and husky owners confirm hair pickup by running a Dyson afterward and finding little left behind
Buyer concerns
- •Battery drains after two rooms; larger homes need mid-job recharges or splitting across days
- •Roomba Home app uses 24-hour time, blurs routines with automations, and buries schedule edits in submenus
- •Some units develop a spin-and-recalibrate loop after a couple of months; support is responsive but swaps are still a hassle
Frequently Asked Questions
Can it handle pet hair on carpets and floors?+
Yes, it picks up pet hair and fine debris thoroughly. Owners of a Golden Retriever and a dog-heavy household report it collects hair that other vacuums miss.
Is it loud?+
It is quieter than previous Roomba models. Multiple users describe it as not loud, and one upgraded from an older model found the noise reduction significant.
How often do I need to empty the bin?+
The bin is large, holding debris for a couple of days. It takes up about a third of the robot’s interior, a major improvement over smaller bins in older models.
Does it navigate intelligently or bump around randomly?+
It uses LiDAR for precise mapping and cleans in neat rows. The mapping is fast, and you can select rooms or set keep-out zones through the app.
