iRobot Roomba 105 vs Roborock Qrevo QV 35A

The Roborock Qrevo QV 35A pulls ahead of the iRobot Roomba 105 by offering what the budget Roomba simply cannot: mopping, a self-emptying dock that washes and dries its own pad, and a longer list of smart home integrations including Home Assistant. The iRobot Roomba 105 counters with a typically lower price, though its runtime is shorter (120 minutes per charge against 180). Both use LiDAR navigation and map multiple rooms with no-go zones, so the basic vacuuming experience is similar. But the iRobot Roomba 105 has no mopping function, no self-emptying, and its bin must be emptied by hand after every run. For buyers who want a simple, affordable vacuum-only robot, the iRobot Roomba 105 gets the job done; for anyone who wants mopping and hands-off dock maintenance, the Roborock Qrevo QV 35A is the clear upgrade.
