Winner
Ecovacs DEEBOT T30S Combo

Last recorded price$1399.99

Currently unavailable on Amazon USA
It brings a dual auto-empty base that also stores a cordless handheld for stairs and upholstery, a dock that washes and dries its mop pads, 11,000 Pa of suction and up to 200 minutes of runtime. The iRobot Roomba 105 Combo answers with the lower price, the same LiDAR mapping and a combined vacuum and mop that works in one pass on hard floors. Where it cannot compete is upkeep and reach: no self-emptying dock, a water-only mop that avoids rugs instead of lifting over them, no Home Assistant support and no handheld. Buy the Ecovacs DEEBOT T30S Combo for a large hard-floor home with stairs and pets, and the iRobot Roomba 105 Combo as a budget first mapped robot for a small, mostly hard-floor home.

What the differences mean

Self-emptying dock

The Ecovacs DEEBOT T30S Combo docks into a base that empties the robot and a bundled cordless handheld into a 3 L bin, so debris is mostly out of your hands. The iRobot Roomba 105 Combo has no self-emptying dock at all, so its onboard bin has to be emptied by hand after a run.

Mop maintenance

Both mop, but only the Ecovacs DEEBOT T30S Combo washes, dries and lifts its pads at the dock, fed by a 4 L clean water tank. The iRobot Roomba 105 Combo uses a water-only mop, has no auto washing, drying or lifting, and avoids rugs in combo mode rather than vacuuming over them.

Suction and runtime

The Ecovacs DEEBOT T30S Combo is rated at 11,000 Pa and up to 200 minutes, against the iRobot Roomba 105 Combo at 7,000 Pa and up to 120 minutes. In a large or carpeted home that shows up as fewer passes and a single charge, where the smaller model may need a recharge to finish.

Smart home and reach

The Ecovacs DEEBOT T30S Combo works with Alexa, Google Home and Home Assistant, while the iRobot Roomba 105 Combo stops at Alexa and Google Home and has no Home Assistant or Matter path. The T30S also adds a cordless handheld for the stairs, sofas and car interiors a robot cannot reach.

What owners say

Owners of the iRobot Roomba 105 Combo describe a patient but affordable way into mapped cleaning. They repeatedly praise the LiDAR navigation, saying it cleans in methodical rows rather than bumping around at random, and they like sending it to a specific room, setting no-go zones and scheduling runs from the app. Everyday suction on dust, crumbs and pet hair draws steady approval, and several call the combined vacuum and mop a useful bonus for kitchens and hard floors. The complaints are just as consistent: the first mapping run often takes a few attempts or needs manual edits, the robot can get stuck on rugs, thresholds or slider tracks, and in combo mode it steers around carpet instead of switching to vacuum only. A handful report reliability problems months in, and every owner notes that the onboard bin has to be emptied by hand.

Price history compared

Every price change of both, in the same store, so the gap between the two lines is what one costs more than the other.
