iRobot Roomba 105 Combo vs Shark Stratos NeverTouch RV2720ZE

Full Robot Vacuums comparison in 2026

Updated September 2026
Data from Amazon and official iRobot and Shark sites.
2026 verdict
Only ten minutes separate their battery ratings, but everything else about the dock experience favors the Shark Stratos NeverTouch RV2720ZE over the iRobot Roomba 105 Combo.
Both vacuum and mop in the same pass, yet only the Shark Stratos NeverTouch RV2720ZE's dock washes and dries the mop pad automatically and empties the bin on its own; the iRobot Roomba 105 Combo's mop uses plain water only and its bin must be emptied by hand. The iRobot Roomba 105 Combo's real strength is price, typically the more affordable choice. The Shark Stratos NeverTouch RV2720ZE also reaches Home Assistant, which the iRobot Roomba 105 Combo does not support alongside Apple HomeKit, Samsung SmartThings or Matter. Budget-focused buyers who accept manual bin emptying and water-only mopping can still choose the iRobot Roomba 105 Combo; anyone who wants a self-maintaining dock should pick the Shark Stratos NeverTouch RV2720ZE.
