iRobot Roomba 105 Combo vs Tikom G8000 Max

The Tikom G8000 Max is the better overall pick in this robot vacuum comparison, beating the iRobot Roomba 105 Combo on battery life, a Bluetooth pairing radio, Home Assistant support, price and typically a stronger owner rating. Home Assistant is the clearest example of the gap: its official Roomba integration explicitly does not support this newer x05 Wi-Fi model, while the Tikom's Tuya link reaches Home Assistant without issue. The iRobot Roomba 105 Combo answers with real LiDAR mapping, no-go zones drawn in the app and camera-free obstacle detection, all of which beat the Tikom's gyroscope-and-magnetic-strip approach, and both vacuum and mop in a single pass without washing the pad automatically. Buyers who specifically run Home Assistant, or want the lowest price with basic mopping thrown in, should pick the Tikom G8000 Max; buyers who prioritize mapped navigation and no-go zones over smart-home breadth will prefer the iRobot Roomba 105 Combo.
