The iRobot Roomba 105 Combo is a vacuum & mop hybrid robot that combines 70X suction power with a microfiber mopping system. It features ClearView LiDAR for precise room mapping and navigation, automatically detects and avoids carpets while mopping to keep rugs dry, and includes a 75-day AutoEmpty dock with allergen-trapping bags. The robot offers customizable cleaning modes (vac-only, mop-only, or combo), with adjustable suction levels and water/solution flow. Control via the iRobot Home app or voice assistants (Alexa/Google), with room-targeting and custom scheduling. The 2x SmartScrub mode provides deeper scrubbing. Best suited for multi-room homes with mixed flooring, pet owners needing extended hands-free operation, and those who value the reliability of the iRobot ecosystem.
