Overview
The Roomba 105 is the entry model of the March 2025 lineup and the first budget Roomba with LiDAR mapping, which replaced the camera and bump navigation of older cheap Roombas. It comes as a vacuum-only 105 Vac or a 105 Combo with a fixed mop pad, either with or without an AutoEmpty bag dock. There is no camera-based obstacle avoidance, and reviewers report modest suction compared with Chinese rivals at the same price. iRobot has cut the price by about $170 and still sells both versions in October 2026, alongside the 2026 Roomba Plus models.
