iRobot Roomba 105X vs Shark Stratos NeverTouch RV2720ZE

Full Robot Vacuums comparison in 2026

Updated November 2026
Data from the official iRobot and Shark sites.
2026 verdict
The Shark Stratos NeverTouch RV2720ZE beats the iRobot Roomba 105X in this matchup even though the 105X has its own trick: it can be sent to clean one specific room at a time rather than the whole home.
Vacuuming only, the iRobot Roomba 105X wins on price and on runtime, lasting 120 minutes per charge against 110 for the Shark Stratos NeverTouch RV2720ZE. Everything involving upkeep favors the Shark: its dock empties, washes and dries the mop pad automatically, and it reaches Home Assistant, which the iRobot Roomba 105X does not support alongside Apple HomeKit, Samsung SmartThings or Matter. If you specifically want an affordable, room-targeted vacuum and are fine emptying the bin by hand, the iRobot Roomba 105X remains a sound pick; for mopping and hands-off dock maintenance, the Shark Stratos NeverTouch RV2720ZE is the better buy.
