iRobot Roomba 105 vs Roborock Q7 L5

What owners say

Owners of both entry-level robots praise the same core behaviour: LiDAR mapping that cleans in tidy rows instead of bumping around, and more suction than the price suggests on pet hair and hard-floor debris. Roborock Q7 L5 owners single out the anti-tangle brushes, reporting long hair and pet fur that never wraps the roller, and they value the Home Assistant link and the child lock the iRobot Roomba 105 does not offer. iRobot Roomba 105 owners describe a bin that goes days between empties and quiet overnight runs, but warn the battery can fall short in a large home and the suction fades on medium-to-high pile carpet. Both groups note the chore that is left over: with no self-emptying dock on either, the bin is emptied by hand.
