iRobot Roomba 205 vs Roborock Qrevo Curv 2 Pro

Full Robot Vacuums comparison in 2026

Updated September 2026
Data from Amazon and official iRobot and Roborock sites.
2026 verdict
Roborock Qrevo Curv 2 Pro is the far more complete robot vacuum here, adding everything the Roomba leaves out: mopping with dual spinning pads washed in 100C water and dried with warm air, a dock that empties the robot into a 2.7L bag, 25,000Pa of suction, documented obstacle detection, an AdaptiLift chassis for carpets up to 3 cm and a 2 year warranty against 1. iRobot Roomba 205 answers with restraint and price. It is vacuum-only with no dock tower at all, compacting debris inside the robot so the bin is emptied by hand but rarely, sitting on a small charging base that suits a room with no space for a station, and it reaches IFTTT alongside Alexa and Google Home where the Roborock stops at two assistants. Both map with LiDAR and support multi-room maps, no-go zones and cliff detection, and both run about 120 minutes. Buy iRobot Roomba 205 if you want compact vacuum-only cleaning; for mopping and a hands-off dock, Roborock Qrevo Curv 2 Pro is the better machine.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which is better overall, the Roborock Qrevo Curv 2 Pro or the iRobot Roomba 205?

Roborock Qrevo Curv 2 Pro. It vacuums and mops, self-empties, washes and dries its mop, delivers 25,000Pa of suction and carries a 2 year warranty. iRobot Roomba 205 wins on price, on its compact dockless footprint and on IFTTT support.

Does the Roomba 205 mop or self-empty?

Neither. iRobot Roomba 205 is vacuum-only and has no auto-empty dock; instead it compacts debris inside the robot so the bin needs emptying less often, and it charges on a small base. Roborock Qrevo Curv 2 Pro mops and empties itself into a 2.7L dock bag.

How do they compare on battery?

Both are rated at about 120 minutes and both auto-recharge and resume. Owners of iRobot Roomba 205 do report needing multiple charge cycles to finish a single level, so on larger floor plans neither finishes in one run.

Which one is easier to fit into a small home?

iRobot Roomba 205, since it needs only a small charging base rather than a 450 mm dock, and there are no bags to store. Roborock Qrevo Curv 2 Pro needs a dedicated spot for its station but then handles emptying, mop washing and drying by itself.

How do their smart home options compare?

iRobot Roomba 205 works with Alexa, Google Home and IFTTT. Roborock Qrevo Curv 2 Pro works with Alexa and Google Home, with no Apple HomeKit and no confirmed Matter listing. Both are limited to 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi.

Who should buy the iRobot Roomba 205?

Buyers who want vacuuming only, at a lower price, with LiDAR mapping and no bulky dock to accommodate, and who like that internal dust compaction keeps emptying infrequent. If mopping and a self-cleaning station are what you are after, Roborock Qrevo Curv 2 Pro is the right choice.
