Roomba 105 Combo Buying Guide: Hybrid Vacuum & Mop Capabilities

The Roomba 105 Combo is a hybrid robot vacuum and mop designed for efficiency. It features ClearView LiDAR navigation, allowing it to map rooms quickly and navigate around obstacles even in dark environments [S1, S2]. Users can choose between vacuuming, mopping, or a combination of both [S1]. A key feature is the automatic carpet detection, which prevents the robot from mopping over rugs [S1, S2]. The manufacturer claims suction power is up to 70 times stronger than the Roomba 600 series [S1, S2]. Customization is handled via the Roomba Home app, where you can set schedules, adjust suction power and water levels, and define no-go zones [S1, S2]. It also supports voice commands via Alexa, Siri, and Google Assistant [S1]. Important limitations include the lack of an automatic dirt disposal base, as well as no automatic mop washing or drying capabilities [S2]. Setup requires a 2.4GHz Wi-Fi network [S2].
