Our verdict
Where it wins
- LiDAR mapping at an entry-level price, so it cleans in ordered rows instead of bouncing randomly
- App support with saved maps, scheduling and suction level control
- Works on both carpet and hard floors with a multi-surface brush and edge-sweeping brush
Where it loses
- No self-empty base in this configuration, you empty the 380 mL bin yourself
- Vacuum only, no mopping (the 105 Combo variant adds a mop)
- Replacement filters, edge brushes and brushrolls are recurring costs
The Roomba 105 Vac is the cheapest way into a current LiDAR-mapped Roomba, and at Target's current half-price it undercuts most budget rivals. Buy it if you want tidy mapped cleaning and do not mind emptying the bin after runs. Skip it if you want hands-off dirt disposal, which requires the AutoEmpty dock bundle, or mopping.

More on the iRobot Roomba 105 Vac
Common questions
Does the Roomba 105 Vac empty its own dustbin?
Not in this configuration. The Q312020 comes with a self-charging dock only. iRobot sells a separate Roomba 105 Vac + AutoEmpty dock bundle that empties the robot's bin into the dock.
Does it mop?
No, this is the vacuum-only model. iRobot sells a Roomba 105 Combo variant that adds a mop pad and water tank.
How does it navigate?
It uses what iRobot calls ClearView LiDAR to map the home, clean in neat rows and work in the dark, with cliff sensors to avoid stairs.
