Its AutoWash dock empties the bin and washes and dries the mop pads, the pads lift over rugs, it is rated for 200 minutes against 120, and its 84 mm body is lower and more compact than the 105's 104 mm. The iRobot Roomba 105 is the more affordable, vacuum-only choice with the same LiDAR mapping, no-go zones, child lock and Alexa and Google Home support, and you empty its bin by hand. Neither supports Apple Home, SmartThings or Matter. Choose the iRobot Roomba 415X for hands-off vacuuming and mopping, and the iRobot Roomba 105 if you only need a mapped vacuum at the lowest cost.

What the differences mean

Mopping and dock

The iRobot Roomba 415X vacuums and mops, lifting its pads over rugs, and its AutoWash dock empties the bin and washes and dries the pads. The iRobot Roomba 105 is vacuum-only with no self-emptying, so you empty the bin after runs.

Runtime

200 minutes on the iRobot Roomba 415X against 120 on the iRobot Roomba 105. Owners of the 105 mention recharging mid-clean in larger homes; the 415X has far more headroom.

Size

The iRobot Roomba 415X measures 298 x 303 mm and 84 mm tall, against 335 x 335 mm and 104 mm on the iRobot Roomba 105, so it fits under more beds and sofas and between tighter chair legs.

Smart home

Both work with Alexa and Google Home, and neither supports Apple Home, SmartThings or Matter. iRobot does not document Home Assistant for the iRobot Roomba 415X; the iRobot Roomba 105 does not support it.

What owners say

Owners of both Roombas praise quiet operation and straightforward setup, and both groups say the suction handles pet hair and everyday debris well. iRobot Roomba 105 owners single out LiDAR mapping that cleans in organised rows and a bin that lasts a few days, while their complaints are runtime that can fall short in a larger home, weaker results on thicker carpet and a few battery or navigation faults after some months. iRobot Roomba 415X owners talk most about the AutoWash dock that empties the bin and washes and dries the pads, mop lifting that lets one run cover rugs and hard floors, and a slim body that reaches under beds, and their complaints are an app that trips over room names and error messages and hair tangling around the mop module.
