2026 verdict

The iRobot Roomba 105 answers with a clearly lower price and a simple charging base that needs no water tank or dust bag to maintain. The gap mostly comes down to what each is built to do: the MOVA E40 Ultra's station washes and dries an extendable mop and empties its own bin, while the iRobot Roomba 105 is a dedicated, budget-priced vacuum with no mopping hardware at all. Buyers who want mopping and a longer warranty should pick the MOVA E40 Ultra; anyone who only wants simple, affordable daily vacuuming should pick the iRobot Roomba 105.

Which one to buy if

What owners say

Owners of both robots value getting to skip a step, though a different one for each. MOVA E40 Ultra owners repeatedly call it good value, especially bought on sale, and praise support for replacing units without argument, alongside a MaxiReach mop that extends into corners other robots miss, while an honest complaint is mop pads that can detach mid-run and a cluster of side-brush or motor failures within the first year. iRobot Roomba 105 owners instead like a larger dustbin that goes several days between emptyings and appreciate how much quieter the LiDAR-mapped cleaning is than the bump-and-go robots they replaced, but this model has no mopping of any kind and weaker suction on thicker carpet than on hard floors.

Price history compared

Every price change of both, in the same store, so the gap between the two lines is what one costs more than the other.
