2026 verdict
Sixty extra minutes of runtime and a full mopping system separate the Roborock Qrevo QV 35A from the iRobot Roomba 205.
The Qrevo QV 35A vacuums and mops with a dock that automatically washes and dries the pads and empties the bin, and it also adds Home Assistant support the Roomba 205 lacks. The iRobot Roomba 205 answers with a lower price and Wi-Fi that covers both 2.4GHz and 5GHz bands, where the Qrevo QV 35A sticks to 2.4GHz only. Buyers who want an all-in-one vacuum-and-mop robot should choose the Roborock Qrevo QV 35A; those who just need vacuuming on a tighter budget can stick with the iRobot Roomba 205.
