iRobot Roomba 105 Combo vs Shark Navigator Robot Vacuum

Buy the Roomba 105 Combo if you want one robot that vacuums and mops, empties itself into a dock, and lifts its mop on rugs without setup. Buy the Shark Navigator if you mainly vacuum carpet and pet hair and want a HEPA filter and a self-cleaning brushroll. The Roomba does more jobs but its 3.9 rating from 595 owners is weaker than the Shark's 4.1 from 281, and the Roomba's listed box contents show a charge-only dock, so confirm the self-empty dock is included. The Shark is a vacuum only and has no mop.

• Choose the Roomba 105 Combo if you have hard floors plus rugs and want vacuuming and mopping from one robot with room mapping, no-go zones and voice control.
• Choose the Shark Navigator if your home is mostly carpet, you have pets, and you want HEPA filtration and a brushroll that resists hair wrap.
