> The Roomba 105 is $169 in the early Black Friday sales, down from $320. Small apartment, mostly hardwood with one rug, and a cat that sheds constantly. The mop function is what tempts me, but I worry it's a gimmick on a budget model. Does anyone have the 105? Does the mopping actually do anything on hardwood, and is $169 likely the floor or does it drop again on the actual day?

> At $169 the vacuum pays for itself — treat the mop as a bonus

> $169 for a brand-name vac-mop that maps rooms is the floor. Nobody is selling a mapping robot for less. The mop on budget models is a damp pad dragged behind the vacuum, not a scrubber — fine for dust on hardwood, useless on dried spills. Check two things before you buy: the dustbin size, because a small bin with a shedding cat means emptying it every run, and whether it actually does room mapping. If it maps, buy it at $169.
