Customer Ratings & Reviews

Purchased for Christmas gift. Family like it so far.

Gave this as a gift to an employee and they love it!

The best gift for a mom that loves her housekeeper vacuum

We really wanted to like this Roomba, but it’s been more frustrating than helpful. The updates constantly get stuck, and the only fix is a full factory reset, every time. That means redoing the entire setup process, which gets old real fast. When it’s actually doing its job, it cleans well and does what it’s supposed to but honestly, it’s not worth the hassle anymore. If we were still within the return window, it would’ve gone back in a heartbeat. Until iRobot fixes their update system, I’d steer clear.

Great product. The house mapping is accurate, and the vacuum cleaning is excellent. The device is not very loud. The app also offers flexibility and control in terms of the nature of cleaning and scheduling. Highly recommended!

This machine is awesome and a great buy. It Cleans very well, not missing any spots. I think everyone needs one.

I really love my robot. Wouldn't trade it for anything

Fantastic keeps floor nice in tidy. I like the mop option doesn't hold a lot of water or cleaner. But well wotth the money. Great app features to start cleaner from anywhere and program specific rooms as needed.

It is a good robot vacuum cleaner only that the storage capacity for water and garbage is small, which means that it would not work in a very large work area. I also do not like that the mop becomes too wet when it ends and takes time to dry on its own. It has been functional for me because I use it in a small area.

I love how easy and convenient this is to use. This has been a game changer for me! I kvoe ghat you can set a schedule for automatic cleaning. Indint have to worry about forgetting. Would 100% recommend!

We replaced our old Roomba with this one. This one sweeps and mops. Does good for the price

Love this product. I do wish I would’ve ordered the one with the cleaner attachment. But, I would definitely recommend this one.

Vacuums and mops really well! Having 3 dogs, this is a life saver on having a tidy home

Can’t even call this mediocre. The mop function is terrible, performs poorly and the mop head stays in contact with the floor leaving water marks on laminate flooring. Ended up returning it a few days later. Added a star for the vacuum being functional.

I love it, floor is clean! It’s nice not having to sweep or mop!

It’s very nice i like it it’s do nice and clean we have options on to do deep cleaning also I love it

When I first received the iRobot Roomba 105 Combo Robot Vacuum & Mop, I did not have high hopes. I’ve experienced entry tier robot vacuums before, and they were always terrible. Well, sadly the Roomba 105 is just barely above that. It does have a few good points but they are just not enough to make this entry level robot vacuum worth. Initial impressions and set up – When I took it out of the box, I immediately noticed that the vacuum roller was small – very small. It is roughly half the size of what I have on my two higher end competing robot vacuums. While the overall smaller size of the unit can have advantages when navigating, the light weight gave me concerns (more on that later.) On a positive note, the fit and finish was excellent and better than I expected. For the initial set up, I plugged the base in and set the unit to charge. While it was charging, I downloaded the app – or so I thought. For some reason, there are two IRobot apps. The IRobot and the Roomba Home app, the latter is the one you will need. You can avoid my mistake by using the QR code on the packaging. I did not run into any issues once I chose the correct app and had the unit ready in a few minutes. For some reason, IRobot chose not to include an owner’s manual but included a 36 page safety manual. Weird. Regardless, once the app is set up, the Roomba 105 has to run an initial map of the areas. The mapping only took a 15 minutes. After that it was ready to clean. Performance – This is where things took a turn for the worst. In the app, you have a choice of light clean, normal clean or deep clean. I selected deep clean to get a good idea of its performance. The unit turned on at 7:46 PM. After several recharges, the unit was still running at 1:05 AM and not finished; I had to stop it. It covered all the areas at least once but 6 hours to clean 600 feet of floor space is ridiculous. I had hoped that it did a super thorough job but when I opened the dustbin, I found a small amount of dust. It had picked up some debris I placed in various spots but none from any of the corners. I had not vacuumed in nearly 3 weeks for this test, and I found the results to be disappointing. I ran the Roomba 105 again in regular cleaning mode and it ran for 2 hours and 25 minutes. The duct bin now had almost nothing in it. I thought that maybe my carpet was not as dirty as I thought so I ran my 10-year competing brand robot vacuum and the result was night and day. My old unit pulled in way more dirt than this new Roomba 105. Very disappointing. My old unit was 3 times the price of the Roomba 105, but I did expect better from the Roomba. Putting that aside, I found the lidar mapping to do an excellent job and the vacuum had no trouble navigating my apartment. I put down a shoe and small box to test the Roomba 105’s obstacle avoidance and the result was mixed. The vacuum navigated around the shoe and just pushed the small box. That was comparable to the other two robot vacuums I have, and I felt the Roomba passed the test. Battery life and charging – The Roomba 105’s battery life is not good. I mentioned earlier that this unit was light weight, and the smaller battery contributes to that. A robot vacuum should not need to recharge 3 or more times to vacuum an 800 sq foot apartment. The charge time is a crawl, and I think that is in part to the docking station being powered by a USB connection. Not good. In conclusion, the Roomba 105 is just too entry level for my tastes. It does offer mopping in addition to vacuuming, but I did not trust the unit enough to test it in my small kitchen (there is a carpet in the adjoining room and I could see that it would have run into the carpet.) The Roomba 105 battery is just too small and so is the cleaning roller. It left far too much debris on my carpet and the corners were mostly misses. There is no other way to put this, the carpet cleaning is just very poor. My old unit clearly did a far superior job, and I could see that result by all the dirt in the bin of my old unit -even after the Roomba had 3 passes in my apartment. This would be a unit for someone that has only hard surfaces and under 800 sq foot of area to clean. For the small areas I have that were tile, it did a decent job and performed a little better in the corners. The unit is relatively quiet, and the app is straightforward. The mapping was on point and way better than I expected. One of the inherent flaws of many round robot vacuums like the IRobot Roomba 105 is the cleaning roller are between the wheels. That limits the size of the roller and impacts performance. Better Roomba’s have a double roller that helps but I have personally found wedge or square like vacuums do a better job in corners. The final plus for the IRobot Roomba 105 is the price. This is one of the lowest price named brand robot vacuums I have ever seen. It does pack a lot technology at this price point and would be okay for a perfect scenario of all hard floors.

This is the third robovac that I’ve owned, but the first one with a mopping feature. This thing is feature packed and just might be the perfect vacuum/mop for my household. The problem that I usually have with these devices is not really the fault of the vacuum’s but more so the fact that I have three sons who leave a constant array of toys, tech and stuff throughout the area that I have these setup and that interferes with the cleaning paths. I purposely left things as they were when I set this up and the LIDAR scanner that is built-in mapped the area out perfectly, even accounting for items that interfered with the path. After setting everything up in the app, I ran the first cleaning without mopping and was more than impressed with the amount of dirt it picked up. When I cleaned out the trap, there was a lot of debris that was picked up. I was surprised and happy with the cleaning. I then started another cleaning, this time with the mop feature enabled and it did a very good job of cleaning as well. The app is very intuitive and easy to use and I was impressed with how quickly the job was done and that it found its way back to the charging cradle with no problem. It is also pretty quiet and not intrusive at all. The overall performance is excellent and I am more than happy with this device.

Great robot, they are getting better with the application setup via the phone. I didn't have any problems beyond trying to remember my password for the wireless network, so that is a plus nothing complicated and you can let it do its mapping. Cool little device maps using LiDar so it made quick work of the downstairs which was nice and then being able to use the app to direct it to certain rooms was win. The application makes it easy to pick the rooms and setup a schedule and if you want to vacuum, mop, combo. Setting a schedule is awesome since I have doggies I run this after they go up to bed to clean the area so it doesn't get barked at, and it does a great job. When mopping it knows to stay off carpets, and does a decent job at mopping with the cleaning solution. Vaccuuming it handles awesomely too, I have much less of a dog hair problem now in the house because of this little guy and overall having a daily a clean really helps, though I do have to remember to make sure the fluid in the mopping bin is topped up and ready to go, but I couldn't be happier with this little guy, it is saving me time and helping keep the house cleaner then I could with my busy schedule. Definitely very happy with it.

Very sad I had to return this item. It stopped every 4 minutes. I really needed it as vacuum and mop. I have an old Roomba model 850 only vacuum and it stills work very good,
