iRobot Roomba 105 vs iRobot Roomba 705X

Full Robot Vacuums comparison in 2026

Updated September 2026
Data from Amazon and official iRobot site.
2026 verdict
iRobot's own lineup shows a big jump between these two: the iRobot Roomba 705X adds a PowerSpin roller mop that spins at 200 RPM and is washed with heated water and dried at an AutoWash dock that empties the robot for up to 75 days, none of which the vacuum-only iRobot Roomba 105 offers. It also connects over dual-band Wi-Fi and supports Apple HomeKit with Siri, Matter and IFTTT alongside Google Home and Alexa. The Roomba 105 actually edges ahead on battery life, rated for about 200 minutes per charge versus the 705X's 180, and it costs considerably less as iRobot's entry-level model. Buyers who want automated mopping, long stretches between emptying and Apple HomeKit support should choose the iRobot Roomba 705X; those who want the longest single-charge runtime at the lowest price should pick the iRobot Roomba 105.
