It maps with LiDAR, saves multi-room floor plans, detects obstacles and lets you draw no-go zones in the app, while the Tikom G8000 Max navigates by gyroscope with none of those four features. The Tikom G8000 Max fights back on price, owner rating and battery life, and it actually reaches more smart home platforms here, adding Home Assistant through its Tuya account where the iRobot Roomba 105 Combo stops at Google Home and Alexa. Both vacuum and mop without a self-emptying dock. Choose the iRobot Roomba 105 Combo for a robot that cleans room by room and respects the boundaries you set, and the Tikom G8000 Max for the lowest cost, longer runtime and Home Assistant support.

What owners say

iRobot Roomba 105 Combo owners contrast its methodical, room-by-room cleaning pattern with older bump-and-go robots, and the LiDAR mapping and no-go zones are what they mention most, alongside solid everyday suction on dust, crumbs and pet hair. Their complaint is that the first mapping run often takes a few attempts to get room boundaries right, and that the mop uses water only with no detergent or auto-washing. Tikom G8000 Max owners are consistently surprised by how much a first run pulls out of a floor that looked clean, and they like the quiet 45 dB operation and the slim body that slides under furniture, but the recurring gripe is that the robot has no saved floor plan at all and areas have to be fenced off with a physical magnetic strip instead of app-drawn zones.
