iRobot Roomba 105 vs Shark IQ Robot Self-Empty RV1000S
The Shark IQ RV1000S is the stronger pick for most homes, especially with pets. It self-empties into a base that holds about two weeks of debris, runs up to 90 minutes, and uses LiDAR mapping so you can send it to specific rooms. The Roomba 105 is lighter at 6 lb and simpler, but its 0.1 gal bin needs frequent emptying and it lacks self-empty and mapping. Owners rate the Shark higher (3.9 vs 3.5), though some say it struggles in tight corners.
- Choose the Roomba 105 if you want a light, simple robot for basic daily cleaning and don't mind emptying a small bin often.
- Choose the Shark IQ RV1000S if you have pets or wall-to-wall carpet and want self-emptying, room mapping and longer runtime.
