Updated September 2026

Data from Amazon and official iRobot and Roborock sites.

2026 verdict

In this robot vacuum matchup between a room-targeted vacuum-only Roomba and a full vacuum-and-mop Roborock, the Saros 20 wins on mopping, self-emptying and smart-home reach.

Winner

Roborock Saros 20

$1599.99

Buy on Amazon USA

The Roborock Saros 20 vacuums and mops together with a self-washing dock and connects to far more smart-home platforms, while the iRobot Roomba 105X is vacuum-only, has no self-emptying dock, and supports only a handful of integrations. The Roomba 105X remains the more affordable pick, and its LiDAR mapping still lets owners send it to clean one specific room through the app. Buyers who want mopping and hands-off dock maintenance should choose the Roborock Saros 20; anyone who wants an affordable, room-targeted vacuum-only robot should consider the iRobot Roomba 105X.
