What the differences mean

Mop and dock

The iRobot Roomba 705X mops, washes and dries the pads, lifts them for carpet, doses detergent and self-empties. The iRobot Roomba 105X does none of that. It is a mapped vacuum whose bin you dump. Battery life is 120 minutes on both.

Smart home

The iRobot Roomba 705X supports Alexa, Google Home, Apple Home, SmartThings, Home Assistant and Matter, on 2.4 and 5 GHz. The iRobot Roomba 105X supports Alexa and Google Home only, on 2.4 GHz, with no Apple Home, SmartThings, Home Assistant or Matter.

Size

The iRobot Roomba 705X measures 372 x 366 x 105 mm and the dock is 457 x 429 x 432 mm. The iRobot Roomba 105X measures 335 x 335 x 104 mm and has no tower dock. The step up costs floor space beside the robot.

Suction paperwork

The iRobot Roomba 705X publishes 13000Pa. The iRobot Roomba 105X does not publish suction, so that row is not a loss for the smaller Roomba. Both list carpet cleaning, a child lock and scheduling.

What owners say

iRobot Roomba 105X owners praise pet hair and debris it picks up beyond what they expected, plus a map that can send it to one room and a simple schedule. The limit they keep hitting is battery life in a bigger plan, where one charge does not finish, and small things left down, especially cords and mats, that tangle the run. They also treat the missing mop and the bin they empty as the trade for the price, not as a surprise. That is the ownership story available here. The other model has no owner review writeup to set beside it.

Upgrading from the iRobot Roomba 105X?

Moving up from the iRobot Roomba 105X to the iRobot Roomba 705X does not buy a longer battery. Both are rated for 120 minutes, and both use LiDAR, maps and no-go zones. What you add is the rest of the job: mopping, pad washing and drying, a carpet lift, detergent dosing, a self-emptying dock, 5 GHz Wi-Fi, and Apple Home, SmartThings, Home Assistant and Matter. The iRobot Roomba 705X also publishes 13000Pa, which the iRobot Roomba 105X does not. If you only vacuum and you are fine emptying a bin, stay with the 105X. If the mop and the dock are the missing pieces, the 705X is the step.
