iRobot Roomba 105 Vac

The Roomba 105 Vac is the simplest model in iRobot's renumbered 2026 range, a straightforward vacuum robot with an AutoEmpty dock and none of the mopping hardware or dual rubber brush upgrades of the Plus and Max tiers above it. That simplicity keeps both the price and the footprint down, which suits a smaller apartment where a full combo robot's larger dock would be overkill.

Mapping is simplified compared to the LiDAR-equipped Plus series, adequate for a smaller, more predictable floor plan with fewer rooms to distinguish between. The AutoEmpty dock still means infrequent manual bin changes despite the entry-level positioning. It's a sensible pick for someone in a studio or one-bedroom who wants iRobot's app and brand reliability without paying for mapping precision or mopping features better suited to a bigger home.
