iRobot Roomba 105 Combo vs iRobot Roomba Max 775 Combo Robot + AutoWash Dock

Full Robot Vacuums comparison in 2026

Updated October 2026
Data from Amazon and official iRobot site.
2026 verdict
In practice the two iRobot combos are not close: the iRobot Roomba Max 775 Combo Robot + AutoWash Dock is the stronger machine of this pair over the iRobot Roomba 105 Combo.
It triples the suction (30,000Pa against 7,000Pa), runs for 180 minutes against 120, and its AutoWash dock empties the bin, dispenses detergent, washes the mop and dries it, while reaching Apple Home, SmartThings, Home Assistant and Matter. The iRobot Roomba 105 Combo is the more affordable entry point and still vacuums and mops with LiDAR mapping and app scheduling. Choose the iRobot Roomba Max 775 Combo Robot + AutoWash Dock for a genuinely hands-off routine, and the iRobot Roomba 105 Combo if you mostly want basic mapped cleaning at a lower price.

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

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.
