iRobot Roomba 105X vs iRobot Roomba 415X

The iRobot Roomba 415X is the winner overall, ahead on rating, battery life and its full self-washing mop package (auto mop washing, auto mop drying and self-emptying). The iRobot Roomba 105X only wins on price, and integrations are tied between the two.

The iRobot Roomba 105X is vacuum-only, with no mopping, detergent compatibility or auto mop features, and its bin has to be emptied by hand. The iRobot Roomba 415X adds spinning mop pads with SmartScrub, detergent compatibility and auto mop lifting over rugs, plus an AutoWash dock that empties its own bin and washes and dries the mop pads automatically.

The iRobot Roomba 415X runs longer, rated for 200 minutes per charge versus 120 minutes on the iRobot Roomba 105X. Both models connect over 2.4GHz WiFi only, neither supports 5GHz, and both skip Bluetooth, Zigbee, Z-Wave and Thread entirely.

Yes, integrations are tied between them: both support Google Home, Amazon Alexa and IFTTT, while neither supports Apple HomeKit, Samsung SmartThings or Matter. The real difference between these two comes down to runtime and mopping hardware, not smart home platform support.

Budget-focused buyers who only need dependable everyday vacuuming, not mopping, and who don't mind emptying the bin by hand. It suits pet owners on a smaller floor plan where its runtime is enough to finish a cleaning session without a mid-clean recharge.

Buyers who want vacuuming and mopping handled in one hands-off routine, thanks to an AutoWash dock that empties itself and washes and dries the mop pads on its own, plus the extra runtime that helps in larger, multi-room homes.
