Frequently Asked Questions
Which is better overall: iRobot Roomba 105 Combo or MOVA E40 Ultra?
The MOVA E40 Ultra wins overall, leading on owner ratings, warranty, battery life, smart-home integrations and mop automation. The iRobot Roomba 105 Combo wins on price and cliff detection, and both use similar LiDAR navigation and mapping.
What is the biggest difference between the iRobot Roomba 105 Combo and the MOVA E40 Ultra?
Dock automation and runtime. The MOVA E40 Ultra empties its own bin and washes and hot-air dries its mop pads, and runs roughly 260 minutes per charge against the Roomba 105 Combo's 100. The Roomba 105 Combo mops with plain water only and needs the bin emptied by hand.
Which one has cliff detection?
The iRobot Roomba 105 Combo does. The MOVA E40 Ultra's published specs do not list a dedicated cliff sensor, though it does include single-laser obstacle avoidance.
Does the iRobot Roomba 105 Combo wash its own mop pads?
No. Auto mop washing, auto mop drying and detergent compatibility are all unsupported on the Roomba 105 Combo, so its mop pad is maintained by hand. The MOVA E40 Ultra's station washes the pads and dries them with hot air automatically.
Who should buy the iRobot Roomba 105 Combo?
Buyers who want to spend less, need a dedicated cliff sensor, and don't mind a water-only mop and manually emptying the dustbin.
Who should buy the MOVA E40 Ultra?
Buyers who want a mostly automated vacuum-and-mop station, with self-emptying, mop washing and hot-air drying handled by the dock, plus a longer runtime and broader smart-home integrations.
