Which is better for homes with both carpet and hard floors?

The Roomba 205. It detects carpet automatically, raises suction there, and lifts its mop pad so wet cleaning stays on hard floors. The 675 only vacuums.

Is the Roomba 205 worth the extra over the 675?

Yes if you want mopping, mapping, and a bin that holds debris up to 60 days. At $469.99 versus $71.00, the 675 is the better value if you only need basic vacuuming.

Which one needs less hands-on maintenance?

The 205. Its DustCompactor bin holds debris up to 60 days, while the 675's 0.2 gal bin needs emptying every run or two.

Which is easier to move between floors?

The 675. It weighs 7 lb versus 8.45 lb for the 205, and it has no dock-bound self-emptying base to relocate.

Do both work with voice assistants?

Yes. The 675 works with Alexa and Google Assistant; the 205 adds Siri support.

Which cleans more systematically?

The 205. Its ClearView LiDAR builds a map and cleans in planned rows. The 675 navigates without a map, so coverage is less predictable.

iRobot Roomba 205 Combo vs iRobot Roomba 675

Buy the Roomba 205 DustCompactor Combo if you want one robot that vacuums and mops, empties itself into a compactor bin for up to 60 days, and maps your rooms with LiDAR. Buy the Roomba 675 if you only need basic Wi-Fi vacuuming on a tight budget. The 205 is $469.99 at iRobot as of November 7, 2026, while the 675 has only been seen at $71.00 since November 2, 2026, so the gap is large.
