iRobot Roomba 105 Vac Robot Vacuum vs Roborock Q10 S5+ Robot Vacuum and Mop with Auto-Empty Dock
These are side-by-side facts taken from each product guide: published specifications, strengths and caveats as their sources state them. This page is not a test, a ranking or a verdict about which model is better.
iRobot Roomba 105 Vac Robot Vacuum
A simple LiDAR vacuum where you do not mind emptying the bin
A 4.09-inch-tall LiDAR robot vacuum that maps in the dark, offers four suction levels and recharges then resumes. This offer ships with a plain charging dock and a filter, not a self-emptying base, and it does not mop. The 70x suction claim is measured against iRobot's old 600 series.
Published specifications
- Maker page: robot 13.23 x 13.19 x 4.09 in, 6.24 lb, LFP type Li-ion battery
- Listing components: docking station and filter only, no self-empty base, no mop
- Maker page: 3-stage cleaning, bristle multi-surface brush plus edge-sweeping brush
- Maker footnote: 70x power-lifting suction is versus Roomba 600 series robots
- Listing: 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi for setup and operation; Roomba Home App, buttons or voice
- Maker parts: filter, multi-surface brush, edge brush and battery all sold for the 105
Strengths
- LiDAR mapping with keep-out zones that works in the dark, then recharges and resumes
- iRobot sells the filter, both brushes and the battery as named replacement parts
- Four suction levels and a settable number of passes per area
Caveats
- Plain charging dock: this offer does not self-empty and does not mop
- The PDF Amazon attaches is the manual for a different Roomba model
- Suction is only ever given as a multiple of an older Roomba, never as a figure
Roborock Q10 S5+ Robot Vacuum and Mop with Auto-Empty Dock
Hard floors and low-pile carpet, with a wall run free for the dock
A LiDAR-navigating vacuum and vibrating mop with a bagged auto-empty dock. The dock empties the dustbin only: it does not wash the mop or refill water, so mopping stays a hands-on job. Roborock's own page gives the robot as 3.9 inches tall and asks for half a metre of clear floor each side of the dock.
Published specifications
- Maker page: robot 353 x 353 x 99 mm; plus dock 212 x 178 x 259 mm
- Maker page: 10,000 Pa claimed in Max+ mode, Roborock internal test to IEC 62885-2
- Manual: 0.5 m clear each side of the dock, 1.0 m in front, hard flat floor
- Manual: filter and main brush cleaned every 2 weeks; filter needs 24 h to dry
- Manual: 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi only; Roborock says the app is required to work as intended
- Manual: robot 14.4 V 5200 mAh battery; use only between 4 and 40 C
Strengths
- Dock empties the bin for weeks, and Roborock cites TUV and SGS tests for tangling and filtration
- LiDAR mapping with multi-floor maps, no-go zones and an 8 mm mop lift for carpet
- Maker publishes a full consumable schedule with intervals for every part
Caveats
- The dock only empties: mop washing, drying and water filling are all by hand
- Roborock's own bag life is 7 to 10 weeks, below the listing's flat 70 days
- No source we read publishes bin or tank volume, threshold height or runtime
