Updated September 2026
Data from Amazon and official iRobot and Roborock sites.
2026 verdict
Vacuum-only mapping is not enough here. The Roborock Qrevo Edge 2 is the better robot vacuum because it mops, washes and dries its pads, self-empties for weeks and lasts 188 minutes, while also reaching Matter, Alexa and Google Home.

The iRobot Roomba 205 counters with a compact DustCompactor base instead of a bagged tower and a much lower price, which is the right trade if you refuse mopping hardware. Homes that want one machine for floors and rugs should take the Roborock Qrevo Edge 2.
