What the differences mean

Mopping

Dock

The iRobot Roomba Combo 10 Max robot + AutoWash dock empties, washes, dries and refills on its own. The iRobot Roomba 105X has no self-emptying dock, so its bin is emptied by hand.

Runtime

The iRobot Roomba Combo 10 Max robot + AutoWash dock is rated around 175 minutes and the iRobot Roomba 105X about 120, so the combo finishes a larger floor with fewer interruptions.

Navigation type

The iRobot Roomba Combo 10 Max robot + AutoWash dock uses a camera that needs light, while the iRobot Roomba 105X uses LiDAR and works in the dark. For dim rooms the cheaper robot navigates better.

Smart home support

The iRobot Roomba Combo 10 Max robot + AutoWash dock supports Matter, Apple HomeKit, SmartThings, Home Assistant and Alexa. The iRobot Roomba 105X supports Alexa, Google Home and IFTTT only.
