2026 verdict
The iRobot Roomba 105 is a straightforward LiDAR vacuum, but the Tikom L8000 Plus outpoints it here, with a higher rating, a longer battery and mopping the Roomba skips entirely.
The iRobot Roomba 105 answers with a lower price, stronger 7,000 Pa suction and an obstacle sensor the Tikom L8000 Plus does not have, so cords and small objects catch the Tikom out where the Roomba steps around them. The Tikom L8000 Plus adds a self-emptying base, a mop pad that freshens hard floors in the same pass, and reaches Google Home, Alexa and Home Assistant through a Tuya account, while the iRobot Roomba 105 answers only to Google Home and Alexa with no mop and no self-emptying dock at all. Buy the iRobot Roomba 105 for the lower price and better obstacle avoidance, and the Tikom L8000 Plus for mopping, self-emptying and a longer runtime.

What the differences mean
Mopping and self-emptying
The Tikom L8000 Plus mops with a light water-only pass and empties itself into a sealed bag. The iRobot Roomba 105 is vacuum only, with no self-emptying dock.
Obstacle detection
The iRobot Roomba 105 has an obstacle sensor. The Tikom L8000 Plus has none, so cords and tasselled rugs can catch it out.
Home Assistant support
The Tikom L8000 Plus reaches Home Assistant through a Tuya cloud account. The iRobot Roomba 105 has no Home Assistant support at all.
Suction power
The iRobot Roomba 105 is rated at 7,000 Pa against the Tikom L8000 Plus's 6,000 Pa, a close gap but the Roomba edges it.
Battery life
The Tikom L8000 Plus runs about 150 minutes per charge against the iRobot Roomba 105's 120 minutes.
Which one to buy if
- cords and small objects are often left on the floor
The iRobot Roomba 105's obstacle sensor avoids them; the Tikom L8000 Plus has no equivalent and can get caught out.
- you want the dock to empty itself and a light mopping pass
The Tikom L8000 Plus self-empties and mops; the iRobot Roomba 105 does neither.
- you run Home Assistant
The Tikom L8000 Plus reaches it through a Tuya cloud account; the iRobot Roomba 105 has no Home Assistant support.
- price is the deciding factor
The iRobot Roomba 105 is the cheaper of the two.

What owners say
iRobot Roomba 105 owners like that it maps and cleans in organized rows rather than bumping around, and say it pulls up more pet hair and debris than expected for the price, while battery life falling short in bigger homes is what comes up most. Tikom L8000 Plus owners report fast, accurate maps and strong pickup of dog and cat hair, and like going weeks without touching the dustbin thanks to the sealed bag in the dock, while the main brush tangling with long hair every week or two and a loud dock while it empties are their recurring complaints.
