2026 verdict
Roller mop or vacuum only? The Ecovacs DEEBOT X11S PRO Omni is the stronger robot vacuum here, rated at 30000Pa with a self-washing roller mop.
It also runs 200 minutes against 120, and its station hot-washes, dries and doses detergent for the mop. The iRobot Roomba Max 705 is vacuum only at 13000Pa, but it costs less, connects over 5 GHz Wi-Fi and documents Apple Home, SmartThings and Matter support, which Ecovacs does not for the X11S. Both self-empty and work with Alexa, Google Home and Home Assistant. Choose the Ecovacs DEEBOT X11S PRO Omni to vacuum and mop in one go, and the iRobot Roomba Max 705 for carpet-only homes or an Apple Home setup.

What the differences mean
Mopping
The Ecovacs DEEBOT X11S PRO Omni mops with a roller its station washes with hot water, dries and doses with detergent, lifting it over carpet. The iRobot Roomba Max 705 does not mop.
Suction
30000Pa against 13000Pa. On hard floors both keep up with daily dust; the Ecovacs has far more headroom for rugs and hair pressed into carpet.
Runtime
The Ecovacs DEEBOT X11S PRO Omni is rated for 200 minutes and the iRobot Roomba Max 705 for 120, so the Roomba is likelier to pause for a recharge in a larger home.
Smart home
Both list Alexa, Google Home and Home Assistant. The iRobot Roomba Max 705 also documents Apple Home, SmartThings and Matter; for the Ecovacs DEEBOT X11S PRO Omni those are not documented.
Documented specs
iRobot publishes LiDAR navigation, weights and dock size for the Roomba. Ecovacs does not document the X11S navigation type, weights or tank sizes, so part of the comparison rests on what owners report.
Which one to buy if
- you want one robot to vacuum and mop
Only the Ecovacs DEEBOT X11S PRO Omni mops, and its station looks after the roller.
- your floors are mostly carpet
A vacuum-only iRobot Roomba Max 705 with a compact dock covers that for less.
- your home runs on Apple Home or Matter
The Roomba documents Apple Home, SmartThings and Matter; the Ecovacs does not.
- you have long hair or pets shedding onto rugs
Its 30000Pa suction and tangle-resistant brushes handle fur that owners say never wraps.

What owners say
Owners of both robots like a dock that empties the bin for them and pet hair pickup that beats their older robots. Ecovacs DEEBOT X11S PRO Omni owners single out a roller mop that scrubs dried pawprints instead of smearing them, an extending roller that clears baseboards and brushes that never wrap, but they call the battery small for its class, report app alerts in Chinese characters and describe a dirty water tank that goes stale. iRobot Roomba Max 705 owners, many coming from older Roombas, praise faster, more accurate LiDAR mapping and quieter runs, and their complaints are narrower: Wi-Fi setup failing on router passwords with special characters and a dock that sometimes leaves the bin partly full.
