MOVA E40 Ultra
Winner
MOVA E40 Ultra
Buy on Amazon GermanyCheck price
Its station empties the bin into a 3.2 L bag, washes and hot-air dries the mops and lifts them over rugs; it runs up to 260 minutes against 120, carries a three-year warranty against one, adds Home Assistant to Alexa and Google Home, and is the better reviewed. The iRobot Roomba 105 Combo still has LiDAR mapping, no-go zones and a mop that takes floor cleaner, but you empty its bin and rinse its pad by hand. Choose the MOVA E40 Ultra for hands-off cleaning of a whole home, and the iRobot Roomba 105 Combo only if you want the simplest, smallest setup for light daily upkeep of a small space.

What the differences mean

Station

The MOVA E40 Ultra's station self-empties into a 3.2 L bag and washes and hot-air dries the mops. The iRobot Roomba 105 Combo has a charging dock only: you empty the bin and clean the mop pad yourself after runs.

Runtime

Up to 260 minutes on the MOVA E40 Ultra against 120 minutes on the iRobot Roomba 105 Combo. The Roomba suits a small home or one floor at a time; the MOVA can cover a large layout in one go.

Rugs in mop mode

The MOVA E40 Ultra lifts its mops over rugs and keeps vacuuming them. The iRobot Roomba 105 Combo has no mop lifting, so owners report it simply avoids rugs when mopping.

Warranty and smart home

Three years of warranty on the MOVA E40 Ultra against one on the iRobot Roomba 105 Combo. Both work with Alexa and Google Home; only the MOVA adds Home Assistant, and neither supports Apple Home or Matter.

Which one to buy if

What owners say

Owners of both robots praise LiDAR navigation that cleans methodically, quiet runs and solid pickup of everyday dust and pet hair. MOVA E40 Ultra owners single out a station that returns mid-job to wash pads and empty the bin, fast mapping of a large home and strong value on sale, and several describe support replacing a faulty unit, while their complaints are mop pads falling off during a run and side-brush or motor failures within months. iRobot Roomba 105 Combo owners call the mop a helpful bonus rather than a deep clean, and their complaints are about a first map that takes several runs and manual edits, a combo mode that avoids rugs instead of switching to vacuum-only, a bin to empty by hand and some reliability issues months after purchase.

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.
