iRobot Roomba 105 Combo + AE Y354020 Robot Vacuum and Mop with AutoEmpty Dock

At 33.6 cm long, 33.5 cm wide and 10.4 cm high, the iRobot Roomba 105 Combo + AE brings vacuuming and mopping together in one round robot. Its AutoEmpty dock collects debris in a bag designed to hold up to 75 days’ worth, helping reduce how often you need to handle dust and dirt.

ClearView LiDAR maps indoor spaces and guides the robot in neat rows. Choose vacuuming, mopping or both at once, then set a schedule or target rooms through the Roomba Home app. It also supports button and voice control.

Quick overview

For regular cleaning across carpet and hard floors, this model combines a multi-surface brush, an edge-sweeping brush and power-lifting suction with a microfiber mop pad. The app lets you adjust suction, cleaning passes and the amount of liquid used for mopping, so a quick vacuum run and a more focused floor clean can follow different routines. SmartScrub adds a deeper scrubbing mode for areas that need more attention.

The robot detects and avoids carpets while mopping, helping keep rugs dry without requiring a custom carpet-avoidance program. Its LiDAR mapping, obstacle avoidance and room-targeting features support a more organized routine than manually moving a vacuum and mop from room to room. For homes where floors need both dry and wet cleaning, the combo format keeps those tasks within one cleaning system rather than relying on separate machines.

How to look after it

For mopping, fill the robot’s bin tank with water or a compatible cleaning solution, then attach the microfiber pad. The pad is washable and reusable, and the built-in micro-pump controls water flow to keep it evenly moist during cleaning. After use, basic upkeep includes emptying or wiping the bin as needed, wiping the charging contacts and occasionally cleaning the brushes. The filter should be changed every three to six months. The AutoEmpty dock’s bag is designed for straightforward disposal: lift it out and replace it when full.

Tips for day-to-day use

Use the app to schedule a kitchen clean after meals, select specific rooms or create keep-out zones around areas you want the robot to avoid. You can also choose the number of cleaning passes and suction level to suit the task. For everyday dust and debris, vacuum-only mode keeps the routine simple, for hard-floor spills, choose mop-only, or select vacuum-and-mop for a combined run. SmartScrub is available when a more thorough mop pass is useful.

Setup uses the Roomba Home app and requires a 2.4 GHz network for the robot and phone during setup and operation. Once setup is complete, the phone can return to 5 GHz. Some buyers praise the time saved, suction and straightforward operation, while feedback on cleaning results and navigation varies. Connectivity and app reliability are also concerns raised by some customers, so the available app features are most useful when the robot maintains a stable connection.

Questions before you buy

Can it mop while avoiding carpets? Yes. It detects and avoids carpets during mopping, so you can use a wet-cleaning mode while keeping rugs dry.

Which cleaning modes can I choose? Select vacuum-only, mop-only or vacuuming and mopping at the same time. The app also supports room targeting, schedules, adjustable suction and cleaning passes, and control of the amount of mopping liquid.

What network is needed for setup? A 2.4 GHz network is required for the robot and phone during setup and operation. After setup, your phone can return to a 5 GHz network.

Is it worth it?

The Roomba 105 Combo + AE is suited to households looking to combine routine vacuuming and hard-floor mopping, with room-based scheduling and less frequent debris handling. LiDAR mapping, carpet avoidance while mopping and an AutoEmpty dock give those everyday tasks a clear, practical focus.
