iRobot Roomba 105 Combo vs Roborock Saros 10

Full Robot Vacuums comparison in 2026

Updated September 2026
Data from Amazon and official iRobot and Roborock sites.
2026 verdict
For anyone who wants a robot that looks after itself, the Roborock Saros 10 is far ahead of the iRobot Roomba 105 Combo.
Its dock empties the bin, washes and dries the mop pads and doses detergent, it lifts the mops over carpet, runs for a rated 220 minutes against 120, and works with Apple Home, SmartThings, Home Assistant and Matter as well as Alexa and Google Home. The iRobot Roomba 105 Combo wins on price alone, and it is a real win: it is an entry-level vacuum and mop with LiDAR mapping and no-go zones, at a small fraction of a flagship's cost. It does not self-empty, and its mop is a water-only pad you rinse yourself. Buy the Roborock Saros 10 for hands-off cleaning, and the iRobot Roomba 105 Combo for a first robot on a tight budget.

What the differences mean

Dock and self-emptying

The Roborock Saros 10 dock empties the robot, washes and dries the mops and dispenses detergent. The iRobot Roomba 105 Combo has no self-emptying dock, so its bin is emptied by hand after runs and the mop pad is rinsed manually.

Mopping

The Roborock Saros 10 lifts its mops over carpet and has a 4 L clean water tank at the dock. The iRobot Roomba 105 Combo mops with a pad that does not lift, which is why its combo mode steers around rugs instead of crossing them.

Battery life

The Roborock Saros 10 is rated for 220 minutes and the iRobot Roomba 105 Combo for 120. In a small apartment either finishes; across a larger home the Roomba will stop to recharge.

Smart home platforms

Both work with Alexa and Google Home. Only the Roborock Saros 10 adds Apple Home, SmartThings, Home Assistant and Matter; the iRobot Roomba 105 Combo supports none of those four.

Height

The Roborock Saros 10 is 79.8 mm tall, the iRobot Roomba 105 Combo 104 mm, so the Roborock reaches under lower beds and sofas.

What owners say

Owners of both robots praise the LiDAR navigation for cleaning methodically rather than bumping around, and both groups say it picks up pet hair and dust well on hard floors. Roborock Saros 10 owners single out the dock, which empties dust and dirty water and refills clean water and detergent so they only tend it every few days, plus a slim body that reaches under low furniture; their complaints are the cost of consumables, disposable dock bags, no cleaner in the box and weaker results on medium and high-pile carpet. iRobot Roomba 105 Combo owners like the simple app scheduling and quiet runs, but describe a first map that needed several runs or manual editing, a combo mode that avoids rugs, and reliability problems surfacing months later.

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.
