iRobot Roomba 105 Vac Robot Vacuum vs Shark AI Ultra AV2511AE Robot Vacuum with XL Self-Empty Base
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
