iRobot Roomba 105 vs iRobot Roomba Plus 515 Combo Robot + AutoWash Dock

The iRobot Roomba Plus 515 Combo Robot + AutoWash Dock for most homes, because it vacuums and mops, empties its own bin and washes and dries its pads, and runs longer on a charge. The iRobot Roomba 105 is the better buy when you only need vacuuming and want to spend less.

The iRobot Roomba Plus 515 Combo Robot + AutoWash Dock is a vacuum-and-mop combo with a self-emptying dock, while the iRobot Roomba 105 is a vacuum-only robot whose bin is emptied by hand. The 515 also has far higher rated suction and runs longer.

No. It is a vacuum-only robot with no mop, detergent or auto mop features. The iRobot Roomba Plus 515 Combo Robot + AutoWash Dock is the one of the pair that mops and cleans its own pads.

Neither does. Both are limited to Alexa and Google Home, with no Apple Home, SmartThings or Matter support, so an Apple household needs a different model.

Budget buyers who want dependable mapped vacuuming on hard floors and light carpet and do not need mopping or a self-emptying dock.

Pet homes with mostly hard floors that want mopping, a self-cleaning dock and a slim body for low furniture, and can keep the floor clear of cords.
