Updated October 2026
Data from Amazon and official iRobot and Tikom sites.
2026 verdict

It also adds 5 GHz Wi-Fi and Home Assistant through its Tuya account, where the 105X stays on 2.4 GHz only with neither documented. The iRobot Roomba 105X still has a real strength in obstacle detection, which the Tikom lacks entirely, since the L8000 Plus has no front camera or sensor and simply bumps into small objects instead of steering around them. Both use LiDAR navigation with multi-room mapping and no-go zones. Buyers who only need vacuuming and want steadier obstacle avoidance should choose the iRobot Roomba 105X; buyers who want vacuuming and mopping combined with hands-off emptying should pick the Tikom L8000 Plus.

What the differences mean

Mopping and self-emptying

The Tikom L8000 Plus mops in the same pass as vacuuming and empties itself into a 3 L bag; the iRobot Roomba 105X has neither, so it is vacuum-only and its bin is emptied by hand.

Obstacle avoidance

The iRobot Roomba 105X includes obstacle detection; the Tikom L8000 Plus has no front-facing camera or sensor, so cords and small objects catch it rather than getting steered around.

Wi-Fi band

The Tikom L8000 Plus joins both 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz networks and reaches Home Assistant through Tuya; the iRobot Roomba 105X is 2.4 GHz only and its Home Assistant integration explicitly does not cover this generation.

Battery life

The Tikom L8000 Plus runs up to 150 minutes against 120 for the iRobot Roomba 105X.

What owners say

Owners of both robots like the LiDAR mapping for the price, but ask different things of it afterward. iRobot Roomba 105X owners are surprised by how much pet hair and debris it collects and use the room-specific cleaning to target one space, such as a litter box room, though several say the battery falls short on a bigger floor plan and that loose cords or door mats catch the robot before it can steer around them. Tikom L8000 Plus owners instead praise how fast the LiDAR builds an accurate map and how much dog and cat hair the 6000 Pa motor pulls up, crediting the self-empty base for weeks without touching the bin, while the main brush tangling with long hair every week or two is their most common complaint. Only Tikom L8000 Plus owners discuss mopping, since the 105X has none.
