iRobot Roomba 105 Combo vs Shark PowerDetect ThermaCharged RV2920XE

The Shark PowerDetect ThermaCharged RV2920XE wins overall, thanks to a longer battery life, a longer warranty, and a dock that washes and dries its own mop pads and empties itself, none of which the iRobot Roomba 105 Combo offers.

Dock automation. Both robots mop, but the iRobot Roomba 105 Combo's mop uses plain water with no auto-washing, auto-drying or self-emptying, while the Shark PowerDetect ThermaCharged RV2920XE washes and dries its pads with hot water and empties its own bin.

The Shark PowerDetect ThermaCharged RV2920XE has the longer battery life of the two, on top of its mop-washing and self-emptying advantages over the iRobot Roomba 105 Combo.

The iRobot Roomba 105 Combo actually edges ahead here: alongside Google Home and Alexa, which both robots support, it also works with IFTTT, an integration the Shark PowerDetect ThermaCharged RV2920XE does not list.

Choose the iRobot Roomba 105 Combo if you want to spend less and are comfortable washing the mop pads and emptying the dustbin by hand, while still getting IFTTT automation support.

Choose the Shark PowerDetect ThermaCharged RV2920XE if you want a dock that washes and dries its own mop pads with hot water and empties itself, plus a longer runtime and warranty, and don't mind paying more for that automation.
