iRobot Roomba 105 Combo · Yeedi C14 Pro Plus

All robot vacuums. Every measure below is plotted against the full class, so a difference can be read against how much the class itself varies.

01 Classification

What each one does on its own.

The Autonomy Ladder is the same five rungs for every robot on the site. A rung describes the conditions a robot handles without you, not how good it is.

V
Generalized
Any task, any setting
IV
Environmental
Handles new obstacles without help
III
Conditional
Finishes familiar jobs on its own

02 Assessment

Where they actually differ.

The Robovations Score is nine inputs across three pillars, each weighted as shown and each scored so that more is better. A robot can lead on one and trail on another, which is the point of showing them apart. Cost of ownership and data handling are reported on each robot's own page and are never averaged into the score.

None of these robots carries a scored assessment yet, so there is nothing to plot here. The classification and evidence below still apply.

03 Measured against the class

How far apart is a long way?

A number only means something next to the spread it sits in. Each track below is the real range across every classified robot in the class, with the median marked.

Not compared, because fewer than two of these robots carry a published figure: Runtime, Charge time, Noise, Weight, Height.

04 Ownership

What the numbers leave out.

The trade-off

What each design gives up to be good at what it is good at.

iRobot Roomba 105 Combo

LiDAR and auto-empty at an entry price, with no independent test of the Combo yet.

Yeedi C14 Pro Plus

Dust is automated for 45 days; water is automated for zero.

Because the pad never lifts, carpet protection depends on carpet detection and no-mop zones working every run, and no independent test has checked either yet.

Who each one is wrong for

Stated by the record itself. A robot being wrong for a household is a fact about fit, not a fault.

iRobot Roomba 105 Combo
Buyers who want independent test results first
No hands-on review of the 105 Combo was found; the tested Roomba 105 models are the vacuum-only 105 Vac.
Rooms where carpets need mopping nearby
iRobot describes carpet avoidance while mopping, so rugs are skipped rather than vacuumed with the pad lifted.
Buyers wary of the maker's long-term future
iRobot filed for Chapter 11 in Dec 2025 with a planned acquisition by Picea Robotics, per HotHardware.
Owners wanting a dock that washes the mop
The optional AutoEmpty dock empties debris only; TechRadar reserves mop washing for the Plus 405 and 505 Combo.
Yeedi C14 Pro Plus
Owners who want the mop pad handled without touching it
Vacuum Wars lists no mop washing, drying or hot-water washing. The pad comes off and gets washed by hand after mopping runs.
Networks without a 2.4GHz band available
The robot connects over 2.4GHz Wi-Fi only. A 5GHz-only router, or a mesh that hides the 2.4GHz band, blocks setup.
Matter-based smart homes
Matter Alpha notes the C14 PRO PLUS is the one model in Yeedi's 2026 Prime Day lineup without Matter support, and Vacuum Wars confirms it.
Kitchens needing scrubbing of sticky or dried spills
A flat, non-rotating pad on a 300 mL tank with no detergent dispensing wipes; it does not scrub set-in residue.
Buyers who need a published runtime before committing
Yeedi has published no battery capacity, runtime or charge time for this model, so single-charge coverage of a large home is unknown.

What stays your job

The upkeep ownership hands back to you, whatever the autonomy level says.

iRobot Roomba 105 Combo
  • As needed: Replace the AutoEmpty dock bag, which the retail listing says holds up to 75 days of debris.
  • After every use: Refill the water tank and rinse the mop pad after mopping runs.
  • As needed: Empty the onboard bin by hand on the version sold without the AutoEmpty dock.
  • As needed: Clean the brushes and filter, and replace them when worn.
  • As needed: Keep the iRobot app updated, since iRobot said app functionality would continue through its restructuring.
Yeedi C14 Pro Plus
  • As needed: Empty the dock’s bagless 1.5 L bin, rated to hold up to 45 days of debris; no dust bags to buy.
  • After every use: Remove and hand-wash the flat OZMO mop pad after mopping runs, since the dock neither washes nor dries it.
  • As needed: Fill the robot’s 300 mL onboard water tank before each mopping run.
  • Monthly: Check the anti-tangle main brush and side brush for wrapped hair.
  • Monthly: Rinse the dock bin and clean the robot’s filter; Yeedi has published no replacement interval for this model.
  • As needed: Wipe dust from the LiDAR turret to keep mapping consistent.
05 Evidence

How much each of these is standing on.

Classifications rest on different depths of evidence. A pre-release assessment and a verified one are not the same kind of claim.
