What the differences mean
Suction power
The iRobot Roomba Max 775 Combo Robot + AutoWash Dock is rated at 30,000Pa against the iRobot Roomba 105 Combo's 7,000Pa, so it lifts far more from carpet and handles heavier pet-hair loads.
Dock automation
The AutoWash dock on the iRobot Roomba Max 775 Combo Robot + AutoWash Dock empties the bin, dispenses cleaning solution, washes the mop and dries it, and the mop lifts on carpet. The iRobot Roomba 105 Combo leaves all of that to you: no self-emptying, no mop washing, drying or lifting and no detergent dispenser.
Battery life
Rated for 180 minutes against 120, the iRobot Roomba Max 775 Combo Robot + AutoWash Dock covers more floor per charge, where the iRobot Roomba 105 Combo may need to recharge before finishing a larger home.
Smart home reach
The iRobot Roomba Max 775 Combo Robot + AutoWash Dock works with Alexa, Google Home, Apple Home, SmartThings, Home Assistant and Matter. The iRobot Roomba 105 Combo is 2.4GHz Wi-Fi only and stops at Alexa and Google Home.
Which one to buy if
- you want the robot to empty itself and clean its own mop
The AutoWash dock on the iRobot Roomba Max 775 Combo Robot + AutoWash Dock washes, dries and empties, which the iRobot Roomba 105 Combo cannot do.
- you want a first combo robot on a tight budget
The iRobot Roomba 105 Combo still vacuums and mops with LiDAR mapping and app scheduling at the lower price.
- your home is carpeted and full of pet hair
More than four times the suction on the iRobot Roomba Max 775 Combo Robot + AutoWash Dock is the difference on deeper carpet.
- your lights and locks live in Apple Home, SmartThings or Home Assistant
Only the iRobot Roomba Max 775 Combo Robot + AutoWash Dock reaches those platforms, through Matter.

What owners say
iRobot Roomba 105 Combo owners describe a capable budget vacuum-and-mop for daily upkeep, with LiDAR navigation that cleans methodically instead of bumping around at random, solid pickup of dust, crumbs and pet hair, and app scheduling with real-time tracking that they actually use. The recurring complaints are about mapping, which several say took several runs and manual boundary edits to settle, and about the mop, which avoids carpet rather than switching to vacuum only and needs rinsing by hand because there is no wash or dry cycle at the base. They also note there is no self-emptying dock, so the bin is emptied manually, and that a handful of units developed reliability problems after a few months.
