It is rated at 36,000 Pa against 7,000 Pa, runs 190 minutes against 120, stands 79.8 mm tall against 104 mm, and its dock empties, washes and dries the mop and doses detergent.

What the differences mean

Suction

The Roborock Saros 20 Sonic is rated at 36,000 Pa and the iRobot Roomba 105 Combo at 7,000 Pa. On carpet that is a night-and-day gap rather than a paper one.

Dock and maintenance

The Roborock Saros 20 Sonic self-empties, washes and dries the mop and doses detergent. The iRobot Roomba 105 Combo offers none of that, so its bin and pad need manual attention.

Height

The Roborock Saros 20 Sonic is 79.8 mm tall and the iRobot Roomba 105 Combo 104 mm, so the Roborock reaches under furniture the Roomba cannot.

Battery

The Roborock Saros 20 Sonic is rated for 190 minutes and the iRobot Roomba 105 Combo for 120. A large home is one charge for the Roborock and a recharge for the Roomba.

Smart home support

The Roborock Saros 20 Sonic supports Alexa, Google Home, Apple Home, SmartThings, Home Assistant and Matter. The iRobot Roomba 105 Combo supports Google Home, Alexa and IFTTT only.

What owners say

iRobot Roomba 105 Combo owners describe the LiDAR navigation as the reason they bought it: it maps a floor and cleans in orderly rows instead of wandering, and it picks up daily dust, hair and crumbs well for a budget machine. The complaints start at upkeep. The bin is emptied by hand, the mop is basic and, in combo mode, the robot avoids rugs rather than switching to vacuum-only. Several owners needed a few attempts and manual edits to get the first map right, and some report it stuck behind furniture or door tracks. Wi-Fi is 2.4 GHz only and a few buyers saw reliability problems months after purchase.
