Customer Ratings & Reviews

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.

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

Works to well,, the waste bin fills up in 2 rooms.. its really good or we are really dirty..

The product works good so far. It cleans my house while I cook or do other chores. We love it.

Love my new addition!! Works great and clean spotless!

Works great. Very simple to setup and use. It vacuums very thoroughly.

Got it for my girlfriend as a gift since she's been wanting one and she loved it!

Very good product I would definitely recommend this to buy. Love it!

The Roomba allows for smart mapping and lets you schedule your cleaning days. For the best results i typically set the vacuum function first and mop after instead of doing both concurrently.

I love this vacum. I schedule it and just let it run. I love the option that it also cleans kitchen floor.

Does it job , but can be a better version for the price point

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.

This device is mad tuff I mess wid it mad tuffy get it

The best gift for a mom that loves her housekeeper vacuum

Purchased for Christmas gift. Family like it so far.

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

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

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

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,

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.
