Customer Ratings & Reviews

Overall I like this Roomba. It is a great price. It is much quieter than other older models. The trash bin is also a good size. It seems to do a good job picking up dog hair.

For what this costs it does its job phenomenally! Setting routines is easy it sucks up everything you put in fromt of it and its not too loud that itll wake you up!

Great product, suction is good , it cleans my carpets well

So far love it. I had one for 10 yrs prior that went under furniture to get dust bunnies and this one doesn’t so I will do more research but so far love it. I am a single mom with a son and dogs and need all the help I can get and this helps. Set it for when I am not home and love coming home to a clean floor

Good robot vacuum. There are better ones out there and there are worse. This one's decent on a budget.

Excellent vacuum - previously owned an older model and wore it out! This is an nice improvement - bin holds more trash and seems to have more power!

This is much smarter than the older model. Does a great job and does not get stuck very often.

Awesome Product!! Recommend buying. Picks up pet hair good from the edge.

This Roomba model has been working well for us. It has a remarkable memory and is much quieter than our previous model!

Best of class for the price!!! I love this machine.

Not a bad item just wish the battery life was longer.

The Roomba 105 is a great little vacuum cleaner. Suction is better than any other brand I've owned, especially when setting it to deep clean...which decreases battery life substantially. It just takes a longer to get the job done because the vacuum has to go home to recharge. That, of course, depends on the size of your home/apartment. Be aware that on deep clean the bin might fill up sooner and need to be emptied between charges. After using the 105 for a couple of weeks, I would not recommend it if you have pets. I have a Husky and the bin fills up very quickly. I do, however, highly recommend getting the same model, but with the AutoEmpty doc, which is what I should have done. Schedules are super easy to set up and you can choose to clean the whole house, or just a room or 2. You can also choose what level of cleaning you prefer. It's so nice to come home and know the floor is clean. I haven't used the voice control, but I'm confident it works as advertised. The Roomba 105 is an excellent vacuum cleaner. It has great suction and is easy to set up and use. Get one!

Having a difficult time getting this “bot” to map and clean my small kitchen and bedroom.. keeps telling me I have to help it charge but it says it is 100% charged. Haven’t given up yet

Really works great my loves this helper. I would recommend this item.!!!!!!

The iRobot - Roomba 105 Robot Vacuum is a solid and simple to use device. It offers 3 levels of cleaning power. It does have an 'Automations' section in the app which allows you to set up schedules for specific zones (or all zones) and choose the level of cleaning. It is easy to set up a schedule and the app pretty much steps you right through doing this in a concise way. I prefer not to use schedules yet. If I had a shedding pet, though, I would take advantage of the scheduling capability. The design for connecting to the charging strips on the base is very effective and this unit never failed to put itself back on the charger without my intervention – tip of the cap to the design engineers at Roomba. The robot needs you to connect your phone's WiFi using a 2.4 GHz access point for the initial setup. However, after setting up you can put your phone back on 5 GHz if you prefer, and still communicate to the robot to start cleaning. The ability to set the suction power from light to normal to deep cleaning is a great feature. I had not seen 3 cleaning levels on my other robot vacuums. Another tip of the cap to the Roomba engineers. One fact though, is that when using deep-cleaning, the vacuum could not complete my 1200 square foot area in one charge. It would return by itself to the charger and then later allow me to restart cleaning just those areas the map showed still had to be cleaned. Its batteries however, could easily handle my 1200 sq feet on the light or normal cleaning levels. You can tell it during the initial setup to create a map and I was pleasantly surprised to notice it magically created 4 zones for my cleaning area. These zones allowed me to select one or more (instead of just all) so that I could easily do customized cleaning jobs of just some zones to save time or focus on just some areas instead of the whole house. This unit has a larger dustbin than my previous robot vacuums. It never got stuck in tight areas as had frequently happened to my other brand robot cleaners.The little whirling brush on the bottom is super-effective at getting dust pulled in, especially from corners. This is a great price/performance value for a very smart robot cleaner and I do recommend this unit.

I’m so happy with my Roomba 105! I live in a one-story home that’s about 3,000 square feet, and this little vacuum has been a lifesaver. I run it almost every day, and it keeps up with dust, pet hair, and crumbs without any complaints. Set up was super easy using the app and was cleaning my floors within a few minutes. The vacuum maps out my whole floor really well and moves in nice straight lines—much better than my old robot vacuum. I love that it goes under furniture and gets into corners I usually miss. I empty it daily but could probably go several days without doing so. It does let you know when the bin is full and needs to be emptied. The app is easy to use and lets me tell it which rooms to clean. I can even start it from my phone when I’m out of the house. It’s not super loud, and it doesn’t scare the dog, which is a win. My grandkids love to chase it around-built in entertainment! Overall, it’s made daily cleaning so much easier in a big house. Definitely worth it if you want something reliable and low maintenance.

The iRobot Roomba 105 Vac Robot is a nice entry in the robotic vacuum market that continues to do a solid job at cleaning most floors. Taking it out of the box, there is the main unit, the charging base, and the sweeper arm that needs to be snapped into place. I snapped that in, then plugged the base in and set it along the baseboards. The main unit has 2 metal plates that have to touch the charging base's 2 metal plates, and the first time I had to manually move the main unit into place so that it could get a full charge. At that point, I needed my phone to complete setup. There is a Roomba app that needs to be downloaded and opened. That walked me through pairing your phone to the main unit via Bluetooth. Once that connection is established, I continued to use the app to connect the main unit to my home's WiFi network. Please keep in mind that it needs to connect to a 2.4GHz band, not 5GHz. I didn't realize that at first and the unit would not connect. Eventually I realized my mistake and was able to connect the main unit to the WiFi and that was it for setup. For the first run, the Roomba wants to do a mapping run. It is neat to watch the app during this process to see what the unit is mapping out. After that, you can have the Roomba run on demand or schedule when you want the unit to run and where. I have pets in my house so there is animal hair on most surfaces to some degree. On hard floors, I thought the Roomba did a really good job of sweeping up normal debris and a decent job with pet hair. It navigated around chair legs and other obstacles very smoothly. I thought this unit did a good job in corners of making sure to approach from different angles so that the sweeper arm went over all of the corner space. I have rugs, but not carpet, and I think that was the where the Roomba had the weakest performance. It still did a good job with general dirt and debris on the rugs, but I feel like my old sweeper did a better job picking up the animal hair that was on the rugs. When the unit is done with a job or if the battery is getting low, it returns to the base to recharge. I found that I had to empty the debris compartment after every job. One tip is that the base works the best on a surface where it can't move too much, as when the main unit is coming in to recharge it can end up pushing the base around a bit unless it is secured. Overall, I would recommend the iRobot Roomba 105 Vac Robot to anyone looking to automate their sweeping, especially if their floors are predominantly hard surfaces.

I usually like Roomba, but this model brand new out of the box ran once and went bad. Wont turn on and run anymore. It will connect to the dock and say powering on, ut wont connect to the wifi or vacuum with a manual push of the button. We called Roomba support and they said it's a known issue with the 105 model and they will "try" to get us a replacement. Its been a few days now and still have not heard from them. Awful model. Do no buy it!

I have been using the iRobot Roomba 105 Vac Robot Vacuum for a few weeks and mostly it has been a reliable performer that takes care of the everyday cleaning of the floor without any issues. I thought the Roomba app set up was very simple, and to my surprise, the mapping aspect of the vacuum was truly impressive – it was able to quickly map out my house layout and maneuver around obstacles including furniture even in low light! The suction is decent relative to vacuum scale, and it does a great job picking up pet hair, crumbs and general dust from hardwood and very low pile carpet. I find the spot clean feature very useful for when I have messes that need focused attention instead of running a full clean – which saves time too! The ability to set no-go zones through the app is also very handy, especially for areas around fragile furniture or children's play areas. I believe one of the best aspects of the device is the convenience: I can start, pause or schedule cleaning via the app or voice assistant, and the vacuum always returns to the dock when it has finished or needs to recharge. The battery life fits my needs and power for a medium sized home. The Roomba 105 does not have luxury features such as automatic dirt disposal, but for the price range, the device works reliably and would be great for the upkeep cleaning of your floor. If you are looking for a simple robot vacuum, this would be a good choice.

No instructions, called company was told we had to download but you could not download this model- called company for help, said there was a 30 minute hold time
