Expert Opinion
Professional reviewers commend the Roomba 104 Vac for its rapid LiDAR mapping, low profile that reaches under furniture, and flexible suction settings, but they criticize its cheap‑feel construction, the need to empty the bin manually, and occasional missed spots caused by cautious navigation.
What Users Say
Everyday users generally like the strong suction, easy‑to‑use app, and reliable LiDAR coverage, while repeatedly noting the inconvenience of manual bin emptying, the robot’s budget‑level build quality, and occasional blind spots under low furniture.
Common Complaints
Manual bin emptying, cheap‑feeling construction, and missed cleaning spots under very low furniture are the most frequently reported issues.
What People Are Saying
“Quick LiDAR mapping and low profile for under‑furniture access, but the build feels cheap and the bin is awkward to empty.”
How It Compares
vs. Roomba Vac Essential (Q012020)
Advantages
Disadvantages
Choose the Essential if you need a slimmer robot with longer runtime and can forego LiDAR precision; choose the 104 Vac for stronger suction and smarter navigation.
vs. Roomba 105 (related models)
Advantages
Disadvantages
Select the 105 if you want added mopping and auto‑empty capabilities and are willing to pay more; stick with the 104 Vac for a straightforward, lower‑cost vacuum solution.
