The Roborock Saros 20 is the robot vacuum that supplies the dock the other one never had. It self-empties, washes and dries the mop, doses detergent, and publishes 36000Pa and 200 minutes against 7000Pa and 120 minutes, plus Matter, Apple Home and SmartThings. The iRobot Roomba 105 Combo still vacuums and mops on a LiDAR map, and it is the more affordable daily cleaner you empty yourself. Choose the Roborock Saros 20 for a hands-off whole home, and the iRobot Roomba 105 Combo for a smaller hard-floor routine.

What the differences mean

Dock chores

The Roborock Saros 20 empties itself into a 2.5L bag, washes the mops with hot water, dries them and doses detergent from a 4L tank. The iRobot Roomba 105 Combo mops, but it does not wash, dry, lift or self-empty, so the bin and the pad stay your job.

Suction and runtime

The Roborock Saros 20 publishes 36000Pa and 200 minutes, and it recharges in 2.5 hours. The iRobot Roomba 105 Combo publishes 7000Pa and 120 minutes, and it recharges in 5 hours. Same idea of a robot vacuum, different capacity for a rug and a big floor.

Smart home

The Roborock Saros 20 works with Alexa, Google Home, Apple Home, SmartThings, Home Assistant and Matter, on 2.4 and 5 GHz Wi-Fi. The iRobot Roomba 105 Combo works with Alexa and Google Home only, on 2.4 GHz, with no Apple Home, SmartThings, Home Assistant or Matter.

Height

The Roborock Saros 20 stands 79.8 mm tall and the iRobot Roomba 105 Combo 104 mm. The flagship is the one that fits under lower furniture, which is the opposite of what a bigger feature list usually implies.

What owners say

Owners of both robots like a LiDAR route that is more orderly than an old bounce machine, and both mention a first map that sometimes needs a correction. iRobot Roomba 105 Combo owners say everyday dust and pet hair are fine at its level, and they complain about getting stuck near rugs, a mop that will not auto-lift, and a bin they still dump. Roborock Saros 20 owners single out suction on embedded hair, a body low enough for sofas, quiet overnight runs and a dock they leave for weeks, and they complain about threshold climbs that miss, a cleaner that is not in the box, and the odd unit that arrived weak.

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.
