What the differences mean
Mop and self-empty
The Roborock Saros 10 mops with a sonic pad, lifts it for carpet, and the dock empties dust, washes and dries the mop, and refills water and detergent. The iRobot Roomba 105X does not mop and does not self-empty. Every run ends with a bin to tip out, and hard floors stay a separate chore.
Runtime and height
The Roborock Saros 10 is rated for 220 minutes and stands 79.8 mm tall, charging in about 2.5 hours. The iRobot Roomba 105X is rated for 120 minutes and stands 104 mm tall, charging in about 5 hours. Under a low bed, the extra height is a skip. On a large floor, 120 minutes is the mid-clean recharge owners of the Roomba already describe.
Smart home platforms
The Roborock Saros 10 supports Apple Home, SmartThings, Home Assistant and Matter, plus Alexa and Google Home. The iRobot Roomba 105X supports Alexa and Google Home on 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi, with no Apple Home, SmartThings, Home Assistant or Matter. Both are 2.4 GHz for Wi-Fi and both have Bluetooth. The extra platforms are all on the Roborock.
What you still do by hand
The Roborock Saros 10 uses bagged dust in a 2.7 L dock and a 4 L water system, and owners say the tanks still need filling and emptying every few days on a heavy vacuum-and-mop schedule. The iRobot Roomba 105X asks for the onboard bin after ordinary runs, with no water tank to deal with because it does not mop. Less automation can mean less station upkeep.
Which one to buy if
- dust sits under low beds and sofas
The Roborock Saros 10 is 79.8 mm tall with 22,000 Pa suction, so the space the 104 mm iRobot Roomba 105X cannot enter is still on the map.
- hard floors should be mopped without a second tool
The Roborock Saros 10 mops and the dock washes and dries the pad. The iRobot Roomba 105X does not mop.
- you only vacuum a smaller home and will empty the bin
The iRobot Roomba 105X is the more affordable LiDAR vacuum, and owners say everyday pet-hair pickup is enough when the bin is a quick tip-out.
- your home runs on Apple Home or Matter
The Roborock Saros 10 supports Apple Home, SmartThings, Home Assistant and Matter. The iRobot Roomba 105X does not.

What owners say
Owners of both talk about maps that settle into rooms, then about how much work is left for a person. iRobot Roomba 105X owners say suction surprises them on pet hair and mixed floors and that scheduling is simple, while the battery falls short in larger homes, cords and mats tangle it, and the bin is a hand empty with no mop at all. Roborock Saros 10 owners single out 22,000 Pa on dog hair, a retractable LiDAR body that reaches under furniture and rarely sticks, a sonic mop that washes itself, and a dock that empties dust and refills water, and they complain about the price of pads and bags, no solution in the box, and weaker results on medium and high-pile carpet.
