Our verdict
Tidy homes with mostly hard floors that want LiDAR navigation, light mopping, and automatic dust emptying at a moderate price.
The Roomba 105 Combo pairs LiDAR room mapping with vacuuming, flat-pad mopping, and a bagged AutoEmpty dock. It can vacuum and mop together, clean selected rooms, save up to three maps, and avoid mapped carpets while the mop is attached. The dock removes dry debris but does not wash the pad, refill water, or dry anything, so this is not a fully automated mopping system. It is a good fit for tidy homes that want dependable routes and less dust-bin handling without paying for a large wash station.
What we like
- ClearView LiDAR supports orderly room maps, room selection, and no-go zones.
- Bagged dock automatically empties dry debris after cleaning.
- Vacuum-only, mop-only, and combined modes cover basic hard-floor routines.
- Compact dock is easier to place than a full wash-and-dry station.
Keep in mind
- Dock does not wash the mop, refill water, or dry the pad.
- Mop cannot lift over carpet, so the robot must route around rugs while mopping.
- No dependable small-object recognition for cords, socks, or toys.
- Flat drag pad is better for maintenance than stubborn dried stains.
Who should buy
Tidy homes with mostly hard floors that want LiDAR navigation, light mopping, and automatic dust emptying at a moderate price.
Who should skip

Key specifications
FAQ
Can the Roomba 105 Combo vacuum and mop at the same time?
Yes. It also offers vacuum-only and mop-only cleaning modes.
Will it mop carpet?
It detects mapped carpet and routes around it because the pad does not lift. A rug can block access to hard floor beyond it during a mopping run.
Does the AutoEmpty dock wash the mop?
No. The dock only empties dry debris; the pad and water tank require manual care.
Does the 70x suction claim equal a specific Pa rating?
No. It is a comparison with older Roomba 600-series robots, not a standardized Pa figure for cross-brand comparison.
