What to expect from the iRobot Roomba 105 Vac+
The iRobot Roomba 105 Vac+ is the Roomba 105 Vac with an AutoEmpty dock: a vacuum-only robot with ClearView lidar mapping and a three-stage cleaning system with a multi-surface brush and an edge-sweeping brush, on a dock that empties the bin into a bag that traps allergens as small as 0.7 microns and holds up to 75 days of debris. The app sets schedules per room, suction levels, passes and keep-out zones, and it works with Alexa, Siri and Google Assistant.
On paper the dock is the whole difference from the plain 105 Vac, and it is the convenience that matters most with pets or a larger home: the robot empties itself into the dock, and the full bag goes in the bin without a cloud of dust. The 105 Combo+ is the same idea with a mop pad added.
Vacuum Wars has reviewed it, as iRobot's cheapest self-emptying Roomba, but its findings are not part of this text yet. Our specifications list no suction figure, run time or bag size. For a self-emptying lidar robot whose test results we have summarized, look at the Roborock Q7 M5+, Wirecutter's top pick.
Based on the maker's specifications and our price data; none of our test sources has tested this model.
