iRobot Roomba 105X vs MOVA E40 Ultra

Full Robot Vacuums comparison in 2026

Updated September 2026
Data from Amazon and official iRobot and MOVA sites.
2026 verdict
The MOVA E40 Ultra is the better buy of these two, because it does everything the iRobot Roomba 105X does and cleans the floors as well.
MOVA E40 Ultra
Winner
MOVA E40 Ultra
Buy on Amazon GermanyCheck price
Its station empties into a 3.2 L bag rated for up to 75 days, washes the mop pads and dries them with hot air, backed by 19,000 Pa of suction, up to 260 minutes of runtime and a 3 year warranty. The iRobot Roomba 105X is the cheaper vacuum-only option, with room-specific LiDAR cleaning and strong everyday pickup that owners rate well, but no mopping, no self-emptying dock and only 1 year of cover. The MOVA E40 Ultra also supports Home Assistant alongside Alexa and Google Home. Pick it for hands-off mopping and emptying, and the iRobot Roomba 105X for mapped vacuuming on a budget.

What the differences mean

Mop and station

The MOVA E40 Ultra has a station that empties into a 3.2 L bag, washes the mop pads and dries them with hot air, and a MaxiReach mop that extends 4 cm into corners. The iRobot Roomba 105X does not mop at all, so washing hard floors stays a manual job.

Self-emptying dock

The MOVA E40 Ultra empties itself into a bag rated for up to 75 days of cleaning and refills its own water. The iRobot Roomba 105X charges on a plain dock with no self-emptying at all, so its onboard bin is emptied by hand after most runs.

Warranty

The MOVA E40 Ultra carries a 3 year warranty, against 1 year for the iRobot Roomba 105X. Given owner reports of side-brush and motor failures on the MOVA, that longer cover is worth having on both sides of this pair.

Suction and runtime

The MOVA E40 Ultra is rated at 19,000 Pa and up to 260 minutes. The iRobot Roomba 105X is rated for up to 120 minutes and does not publish a suction figure, so the MOVA is the one sized for a larger home and longer runs between charges.

Smart home support

The MOVA E40 Ultra works with Alexa, Google Home and Home Assistant through a community integration. The iRobot Roomba 105X supports Alexa and Google Home plus Siri Shortcuts, with no Home Assistant, and neither has Matter or Apple Home.

Which one to buy if

What owners say

Owners of both robots like how quickly they map, how easy the app is and how quiet they run. MOVA E40 Ultra owners highlight the station, which empties, washes the pads and hot-air dries them, and they repeatedly call it quiet and easy to set up, with strong pet-hair pickup for the money and helpful support when parts fail. Their recurring complaints are mop pads that detach during a run and a cluster of side-brush and motor failures inside the first year. iRobot Roomba 105X owners stay on value and strong suction for the price, happy with single-room cleaning, but they warn that its battery can need a mid-clean recharge in larger homes and that loose cords and mats should be cleared first.

Price history compared

Every price change of both, in the same store, so the gap between the two lines is what one costs more than the other.
