2026 verdict
The Roborock Saros 10R wins here by doing a job the iRobot Roomba 105X cannot do at all: mop, self-empty and wash its own pads.
The iRobot Roomba 105X strikes back with a lower price and a higher owner rating, worth remembering since it was never built to mop in the first place, only to vacuum. Where the Roborock Saros 10R adds real capability is Apple HomeKit, SmartThings, Home Assistant and Matter on top of Alexa and Google Home, a longer battery and a dock that washes, dries and refills its own mop. If mopping is not a priority and price is, the iRobot Roomba 105X is the simpler, cheaper vacuum-only choice; if you want vacuuming and mopping handled by one machine with almost no manual maintenance, the Roborock Saros 10R is built for that.

What the differences mean
Mopping
The Roborock Saros 10R vacuums and mops, with a dock that washes, dries and refills the mop on its own. The iRobot Roomba 105X is vacuum only, with no mopping hardware of any kind.
Smart home platforms
The Roborock Saros 10R reaches Apple HomeKit, Samsung SmartThings, Home Assistant and Matter on top of Alexa and Google Home. The iRobot Roomba 105X answers only to Google Home and Alexa.
Battery life
The Roborock Saros 10R runs about 180 minutes per charge against the iRobot Roomba 105X's 120 minutes.
Body height
The Roborock Saros 10R's body is 79.8 mm tall, noticeably slimmer than the iRobot Roomba 105X, letting it reach under more low furniture.
Self-emptying dock
The Roborock Saros 10R's dock empties itself. The iRobot Roomba 105X has no self-emptying dock, so its bin is emptied by hand.
Which one to buy if
- you want vacuuming and mopping handled by one robot with a self-emptying dock
The Roborock Saros 10R does both and looks after its own mop; the iRobot Roomba 105X only vacuums.
- you only need vacuuming and want the lower price
The iRobot Roomba 105X is the more affordable, higher-rated vacuum-only option.
- you're on Apple Home, SmartThings or Home Assistant
The Roborock Saros 10R works with all three; the iRobot Roomba 105X does not support any of them.
- clearance under low furniture is tight
The Roborock Saros 10R's slim 79.8 mm body reaches places a bulkier robot cannot.

What owners say
iRobot Roomba 105X owners like being able to send it to a single room instead of cleaning the whole house, and mention it switching automatically between carpet and hard floor without extra steps, though a battery that falls short in bigger homes is the complaint that comes up most. Roborock Saros 10R owners, many switching from a Roomba, describe navigation that avoids furniture without scraping it and an ultra-slim body that reaches under low furniture, while their gripes are more about upkeep than cleaning, no cleaning solution included and more water used while mopping than older models.
