iRobot Roomba 105 Combo vs Roborock Saros 20 Sonic

Full Robot Vacuums comparison in 2026

Updated September 2026
Data from Amazon and official iRobot and Roborock sites.
2026 verdict
Both of these robot vacuums mop, but only one washes and dries its own pads: the Roborock Saros 20 Sonic beats the iRobot Roomba 105 Combo on battery life, connectivity and mop maintenance.
The Saros 20 Sonic runs longer per charge, connects to far more smart-home platforms, and its dock automatically washes and dries the mop pads, while the Roomba 105 Combo mops with water only, since detergent, auto-washing, auto-drying and auto-lifting are all unsupported, and it has no self-emptying dock either. The Roomba 105 Combo stays the more affordable option for buyers who just want basic vacuum-and-mop coverage on hard floors. Buyers who want hands-off dock maintenance and stronger smart-home support should choose the Roborock Saros 20 Sonic; anyone on a tight budget who only needs light mopping should consider the iRobot Roomba 105 Combo.
