About This Vacuum
For a robot without a self-emptying dock, the iRobot Roomba 105 Vac has a long rated runtime of 200 minutes. Its bin is small, though, at 0.38 liters. A long runtime and a small bin pull in opposite directions, so expect to empty it by hand after most runs. ClearView LiDAR maps the home, and sensors keep it from falling down stairs. In the Roomba Home app you can pick rooms, set the number of passes, choose from four suction levels and draw keep-out zones. Spot cleaning works one patch for up to 5 minutes. You can also start it with Alexa, Siri or Google Assistant devices, or with the buttons on the robot, and it recharges and resumes when the battery runs low. iRobot says it has 70 times the power-lifting suction of its Roomba 600 series but gives no Pa figure. The robot weighs 6.2 lb and uses a cartridge filter. It suits someone who wants app control and mapping and doesn't mind emptying the bin.
Frequently Asked Questions
Wi-Fi drops are a common complaint. The Roomba Home app can show the Roomba 105 as offline, especially after a software update, and some schedules end up cleaning the wrong rooms. First-time setup is often simple, so the trouble tends to start later. If you plan to rely on schedules, check now and then that runs actually happened.
More than you'd expect. The bin regularly comes back full of dust, hair and crumbs, and for everyday dirt the Roomba 105 keeps up with a regular vacuum. The 0.38-liter bin is small, though, and this version doesn't empty itself, so you'll tip it out by hand after most runs.
Not always. Some units of the Roomba 105 have stopped working within two to six months, with wheel faults or a battery that no longer holds a charge, and getting help from support can be slow. Register it and keep the receipt so a warranty claim is quick if it comes to that.
Often no, despite the 200-minute rating. In a bigger home the Roomba 105 runs low, docks, recharges and then resumes where it stopped, so a full clean can stretch across several hours. That's fine for a run while you're at work, less so if you want the floors done before guests arrive.
It's mixed. The Roomba 105 can catch on curled rug edges and on the step from hardwood up to a rug, and dirt along those edges sometimes gets left behind. Flat transition strips are less of a problem. Flattening rug corners before a run helps it get across.
Yes, and quickly. ClearView LiDAR builds the map without much setup, and the Roomba 105 cleans in neat rows. In the Roomba Home app you can pick rooms, set keep-out zones, and choose the suction level and number of passes.
iRobot says specialized sensors prevent it from falling down stairs.
