The Roomba 105 Combo + AutoEmpty Dock is iRobot's entry point into LiDAR mapping and self-emptying. It vacuums or vacuums and mops with a microfiber pad, and the dock holds up to 75 days of debris in a bag. iRobot says ClearView LiDAR maps a home in about 10 minutes and lets the robot clean in rows, even in the dark, while Carpet Detect keeps the pad off rugs. The app offers 4 suction levels and 3 liquid levels plus extra passes for busy rooms. At $299.99, down from $469.99, it ties with the Roborock Q7 M5+ for the lowest price here, and the robot alone is $199.99. iRobot describes suction as 70X more power-lifting suction against its own reference rather than in pascals, the battery is 3,000 mAh, and the dock does not wash the pad. We compared documented features and published prices and did not test cleaning.
