iRobot Roomba 105 Combo vs Tikom L8000 Plus

The Tikom L8000 Plus wins overall, mainly because it self-empties into a 3L dock bag and runs up to 150 minutes per charge, both of which the iRobot Roomba 105 Combo lacks.

Self-emptying is the clearest gap: the Tikom L8000 Plus returns to a base that empties its bin automatically, while the iRobot Roomba 105 Combo has no self-emptying dock and needs its bin emptied by hand after every run.

The iRobot Roomba 105 Combo has the advantage here. It includes obstacle detection, while the Tikom L8000 Plus has no front-facing camera or obstacle sensor, so it maps walls accurately but bumps small items left on the floor.

Only the Tikom L8000 Plus does. It supports 5GHz Wi-Fi and is reachable through Home Assistant via its Tuya cloud integration, while the iRobot Roomba 105 Combo is limited to 2.4GHz Wi-Fi with no Home Assistant path.

Buyers on a tighter budget whose floors have cords or clutter that a robot needs to steer around, rather than bump into, are better served by the iRobot Roomba 105 Combo.

Buyers who want to stop emptying a dustbin by hand and want a longer single-charge runtime and broader smart home connectivity should choose the Tikom L8000 Plus.
