The cheapest AutoWash Roomba: 20,000 Pa and pads washed at 113 °F.
Where this ends up The cheapest Roomba here whose dock washes the pad rather than just emptying the bin — at a hundred and thirteen degrees, which is warm tap water. Its claim to be forty-six per cent slimmer than the Roomba 105 works out at nineteen per cent in the catalog.
This is the line that divides iRobot’s six listings on this shelf, and it is not the model number:
AutoEmpty dock — empties dust, pad left to you: Roomba 105 ($299), 105X ($344), 115X ($469.99) AutoWash dock — empties, washes and heat-dries the pad, refills water: 415X ($668.95), 505X ($778.90), 705X ($1399.99)
So $668.95 is the entry price to a Roomba that deals with its own mop. Below that, including the $469.99 115X, you rinse a damp pad in a sink after every run.
The ECOVACS T90 PRO states why that matters: “Dirty pads re-soil floors.”
And the water refill is the half that is easy to overlook: a dock that washes the pad but needs its tank filled by hand has only moved the chore. Three listings here claim automatic refilling — this, the 705X and the eufy E25.
“washes and heat‑dries mop pads at 113°F after every run, preventing odors and buildup.”
113 °F is 45 °C — about a warm tap.
The shelf’s wash temperatures:
ECOVACS T90 PRO ($799.99) — up to 167 °F wash, 145 °F dry roborock Qrevo S Pro ($429.99) — 167 °F wash, 113 °F dry iRobot 415X ($668.95) — 113 °F wash and dry iRobot 505X, 705X — hot, unspecified eufy E25 — 50 °C dry, wash temperature unstated eufy Omni C20 — room-temperature air Shark, TRDIOL, iRobot 105, 105X, 115X — no mop washing at all
So the roborock at $429.99 — two hundred and forty dollars less — washes thirty degrees Celsius hotter.
Hot water shifts kitchen grease; warm water moves it around. A pad washed at 45 °C (113 °F) leaves the dock looking clean and still carrying the oils it picked up.
What this listing gets right is the drying, and the stated purpose: “preventing odors and buildup” is exactly the failure to target, because a damp pad parked for a day is what starts to smell.
This and the 115X are the only iRobot listings here with a real suction figure: 20,000 Pa and 15,000 Pa.
The other four publish a multiple of a discontinued product — the 105 and 105X at “70X”, the 505X at “up to 70X”, the 705X at “175x”, all against “Roomba 600 series robots”, whose own figure none of them states.
Where 20,000 sits: ECOVACS T90 PRO 30,000 · this and eufy E25 20,000 · roborock Qrevo S Pro 18,500 · iRobot 115X 15,000 · roborock Q10 S5+ 10,000 · eufy Omni C20 7000 · TRDIOL 6000.
Joint second on the shelf, which makes this the strongest comparable suction figure iRobot publishes here — on a machine six hundred dollars cheaper than its own flagship.
“A 46% slimmer design fits under more furniture… Compared to Roomba 105.”
The catalog gives 84 mm (3.31 in) for this and 104 mm (4.09 in) for the Roomba 105. That is 19 per cent, not 46. A 46 per cent cut from 104 mm (4.09 in) would be about 56 mm (2.20 in), and nothing on this shelf is that low.
The claim may concern some other dimension; the listing does not say.
What is not in doubt is that 84 mm (3.31 in) is genuinely slim:
iRobot 115X 79 mm · this 84 mm · eufy Omni C20 85 mm · roborock Qrevo S Pro 96 mm · iRobot 105, 105X, 705X 104 mm · iRobot 505X 107 mm · Shark 145 mm
Most sofa and bed frames sit at 100 to 127 mm (3.94 to 5 in), so this is among the few machines here that will actually get under them. Take the millimeters and leave the percentage.
Tangle-free rubber brushes is the right construction, and the reason is simple: bristles grip hair and hold it, rubber fins flex and release. The roborock Qrevo S Pro makes the same choice with an “all rubber main brush”, and the 705X with “Dual Rubber Brushes”.
Ten millimeters of automatic mop lift places this mid-field:
ECOVACS T90 PRO 15.2 mm · eufy E25 10.8 mm · this and roborock Qrevo S Pro 10 mm · roborock Q10 S5+ 8 mm
And it is a real mechanism, which three iRobot listings here do not have: the 105 and 105X avoid carpet rather than lifting, and the 115X uses a software No Mop Zone you draw yourself. Lifting is the best of the three, because the machine mops the hard floor right up to a rug and then crosses it dry.
The extending brushes are the edge answer — a round robot cannot reach a 90-degree corner, so something has to reach out of the body. The ECOVACS extends its roller “0.6 inches”, the eufy E25 has a “CornerRover Arm”, the Shark uses “targeted air blasts”.
Vacuum only. Mop only. Both at once. Vacuum then mop.
That fourth option is the one worth having and the one most listings here omit. Vacuuming and mopping simultaneously means the pad is dragged through dust the vacuum has not yet reached, so on a dusty floor you are making mud. Doing it in two passes costs time and produces a genuinely cleaner result.
SmartScrub adds pressure, and like every iRobot listing here it gives no figure. The eufy Omni C20 publishes “6N of downward pressure at 180 RPM” — the only force on this shelf — and scrubbing work is pressure times speed.
What this listing has instead of a rate is pads, not a roller. Three machines here wash the mop while cleaning — the eufy E25 “refreshes the roller mop 2 times per second”, the ECOVACS “in real time”, the iRobot 705X “continuously… during use”. A washed-between-runs pad still carries the kitchen into the hall.
No runtime, which no iRobot on this shelf publishes as a time. Only the two eufy listings do — 132 and 125 minutes — and the 115X gives an area, “up to 900 sq ft/charge”.
No noise figure, where the roborock Qrevo S Pro publishes 55 dB and the eufy E25 “≤61dB (max mode)”.
No bag capacity, where the shelf publishes 2.5 L to 4 L and the Shark is bagless. Ninety days with no liter figure cannot be checked.
No filtration standard, where the Shark publishes “True HEPA… 99.97% down to 0.3 microns” and two iRobot listings publish 99% at 0.7 microns.
No scrubbing rate or pressure, and no weight, as on all five iRobot listings here.

It is warm rather than hot, and two cheaper machines on this shelf do better. The listing publishes: "The AutoWash Dock washes and heat‑dries mop pads at 113°F after every run, preventing odors and buildup so floors aren’t cleaned with yesterday’s dirt." 113 °F is 45 °C (113 °F) — about a warm tap. Compare: the roborock Qrevo S Pro at $429.99 washes at 167 °F (75 °C) and dries with 113 °F air; the ECOVACS T90 PRO at $799.99 washes at up to 167 °F and dries at 145 °F. Why it matters: hot water shifts kitchen grease, and warm water moves it around. A pad washed at 45 °C (113 °F) comes out of the dock visibly clean and still carrying the oils from the kitchen floor. What this listing gets right is the drying, which is the half that stops a parked pad smelling, and the stated purpose — "preventing odors and buildup" — is the correct target. And it is still far several of the eighteen machines here that do not wash the mop at all, including iRobot’s own $469.99,115X.
The catalog says nineteen. The bullet reads "A 46% slimmer design* fits under more furniture... *Compared to Roomba 105", and the catalog heights for those two products are 84 mm (3.31 in) here against 104 mm (4.09 in) for the Roomba 105. That is a reduction of 19 per cent, not 46. A 46 per cent reduction from 104 mm (4.09 in) would be about 56 mm (2.20 in), and nothing on this shelf is that low. The claim may refer to some other dimension or to a sub-assembly; the listing does not say. What is not in doubt is that 84 mm (3.31 in) is genuinely slim — second only to the 115X at 79 mm (3.11 in) on this shelf, and well under the iRobot 105, 105X and 705X at 104 mm (4.09 in), the 505X at 107 mm (4.21 in) and the Shark at 145 mm (5.71 in). Since most sofa and bed frames sit at 100 to 127 mm (3.94 to 5 in), that places this among the few machines here that will actually get underneath. The figure to treat with care is the percentage, not the millimeters.
Both have an AutoWash dock, and the differences are mostly in what each listing chooses to publish. This gives 20,000 Pa, a 10 mm (0.39 in) mop lift, 90 days of self-emptying, 113 °F washing and drying, and 84 mm (3.31 in) of height. The 505X gives "up to 70X stronger suction" against the discontinued Roomba 600 series — which cannot be converted — plus 75 days, PrecisionVision AI that recognizes "cords, socks, pet waste", PerfectEdge claimed at "18% more floor area", ClearView Pro LiDAR, and 107 mm (4.21 in) of height. So the dearer machine is 23 mm (0.91 in) taller, publishes fewer days, and replaces a comparable suction figure with an uncomparable one. What it genuinely adds is obstacle recognition — avoiding a dog accident rather than driving through it is worth real money to some households — and cliff sensors. On published specifications alone, this listing is the better documented of the two and $110 cheaper.
