iRobot Roomba 105 Combo (Y3110) robot vacuum with mop function in black

The essentials (and the trade-off)

If you want one floor-cleaning robot that can both vacuum and mop, the iRobot Roomba 105 Combo (Y3110) is built around that exact idea: suction for daily mess, plus a built-in microfibre mopping system when you want floors to look properly finished rather than just “less dusty”. On paper it’s the kind of model you buy to reduce how often you do the back-and-forth yourself—especially for spills, coffee grounds, and that general sticky grime that builds up around kitchens.

The balance is fairly clear: you get a fairly strong suction figure (7000 Pascals is stated), LiDAR-based mapping, and cleaning customisation through the app. But it’s still a mid-range-style “combo” approach. It may not replace deep cleaning from a mop bucket if you’ve got heavy, stubborn staining, and you’ll want to use the right mop pad/product setup for your floor type.

What it’s for: everyday vacuum + controlled mopping

This Roomba is designed for a practical routine: vacuum-only when you want to tidy up quickly, mop-only when floors need a fresher finish, or a combination when the mess is both dry and sticky. The base description specifically calls out modes for both suction and mopping, and even that you can adjust cleaning passes, suction power, and the amount of mop solution applied.

A small but useful detail is the way it handles carpet. It uses automatic carpet detection so the robot won’t mop your carpets. That’s helpful if you’ve got mixed flooring and you’re not keen on the idea of a robot pushing mop water onto the wrong surfaces.

In use, it’s the sort of experience where you set it going before dinner or overnight: the vacuum handles the crumbs and dust, then the mop function kicks in for the hard floors. You’re not standing there doing it step-by-step, but you still get a “proper clean” feeling rather than just a quick sweep.

Where it stands out: mapping, navigation, and controls

The iRobot 105 Combo leans on ClearView LiDAR to map your home and avoid obstacles, described as mapping quickly and cleaning in neat rows. It’s also said to work even in the dark, which matters more than people expect—especially if you run it after lights out.

Control-wise, you’ve got a choice between the Roomba Home app and on-robot buttons. The app is positioned as easy to use, letting you: - set up a custom clean and get estimated time - check filter life - create exclusion zones to keep it away from specific areas - pick rooms to match your routine

You can also concentrate cleaning where it’s needed most. The description highlights that you can focus on specific rooms, set it for crumbs, or even skip a room if you’re busy using it.

Cleaning performance details worth knowing

The cleaning system is built around multiple brushes: a multi-surface bristle brush to lift dirt across common floors, plus an edge/corner brush for the areas vacuums often miss. The stated suction power is 7000 Pascals, which (for this category) is aimed at getting at dust and debris rather than just moving it around.

For mopping, the robot uses a microfibre cloth with a micro-pump system that controls water flow and keeps the pad consistently damp while it cleans. The description also mentions SmartScrub for a deeper clean, and that it works with water or a compatible cleaning product.

One limitation to keep in mind: as a combo system, the results will depend on how you prepare the floor and what you use in the mop system. If you’re expecting the effect of a thorough manual scrub for very stubborn mess, you may find it’s more “daily maintenance” than “everything gets erased instantly” every time.

Connectivity and voice assistant support

This model is compatible with Wi‑Fi, using a 2.4 GHz network for setup and operation. Once configured, it stays connected to that 2.4 GHz network, while your phone can return to a 5 GHz network.

It also supports voice assistants via compatible Alexa, Siri, and Google Assistant devices. That’s handy if you prefer starting a clean hands-free rather than opening the app.

Buying verdict

Is it worth it?

The iRobot Roomba 105 Combo (Y3110) makes sense if you want a robot that can genuinely do both vacuuming and mopping as part of a repeat routine, with LiDAR mapping, room selection, and carpet detection so you’re not constantly managing it.

It may not be the best fit if you mainly need heavy-duty, stain-level cleaning, or if your floors require very specific mopping setups and you’re the type who will still prefer a traditional mop for the final pass. It’s not that it can’t clean—rather, the combo approach typically works best when your expectations are aligned with daily-to-regular maintenance.
