The iRobot Roomba 104 weighs 2926 g and has a compact profile measuring 335 mm in width and 104 mm in height, with a total volume of 11671.4 cm³. It operates at an audible noise level of 60 dB and comes equipped with both a HEPA filter and an allergy filter, making it suitable for households where air filtration matters. The unit is compatible with Google Assistant and Alexa for voice control integration. Its docking station occupies a volume of 10671.939 cm³, and under normal usage conditions the dustbin is estimated to require emptying roughly every 75 days. The product is covered by a 1-year warranty.
The Roomba 104 offers a solid set of navigational and convenience features, including route mapping, no-go zones, and virtual barriers that give users precise control over cleaning areas. An obstacle sensor and anti-fall sensor help it move safely around the home, while the anti-stuck capability reduces the need for manual intervention. It supports scheduled cleaning, auto docking, and can be managed remotely via smartphone over Wi-Fi 4 (802.11n) — though it does not include a dedicated physical remote control. Voice prompts are built in to provide audible feedback during operation. It is worth noting that the unit is not self-emptying and does not offer any mopping functionality, including mop raising or mop drying.
The Roomba 104 has a dustbin capacity of 0.4 litres, which is a straightforward fixed-size bin with no indicator to alert when it is full. The unit does not include a display, nor does it feature twin side brushes or automatically adjust its height to accommodate different floor surfaces. The included filters are not washable, meaning they will need to be replaced rather than rinsed and reused.
The Roomba 104 is rated to clean all floor types and offers 4 cleaning modes, providing a degree of flexibility depending on the surface or level of dirt involved. A built-in dirt sensor allows it to detect and respond to areas with higher debris concentration. The unit also supports mopping, broadening its cleaning capability beyond dry vacuuming alone. UV light is not included as part of its cleaning feature set.
The Roomba 104 is powered by a 3000 mAh battery that delivers up to 120 minutes of runtime per charge, with a full recharge taking approximately 4 hours. During operation, it draws 33W of power. An auto-off function is included, allowing the unit to shut itself down automatically when appropriate rather than continuing to draw power unnecessarily.
