iRobot Roomba 415X vs iRobot Roomba 505X

The iRobot Roomba 415X for most homes. It runs longer per charge, is smaller and lighter, publishes 20,000 Pa of suction and usually costs less. The iRobot Roomba 505X is the one to get if you need Apple Home, SmartThings, Home Assistant or Matter support.

Three things. The iRobot Roomba 505X supports Apple Home, SmartThings, Home Assistant and Matter; the iRobot Roomba 415X does not. The 415X is rated for 200 minutes against 180. And the 415X is smaller, at 84 mm tall and 6.44 lb against 107 mm and 9.44 lb. The dock routine, LiDAR navigation and mop lifting are the same on both.

Both come with an AutoWash dock that empties the bin, washes the mop pads and dries them, and neither dispenses detergent automatically. Both robots also lift their mop pads over carpet.

No. The iRobot Roomba 505X works with Apple Home, SmartThings and Matter, while the iRobot Roomba 415X supports only Alexa and Google Home among those platforms.

Anyone who uses Alexa or Google Home and wants the longest runtime, a slim body for low furniture and a self-washing vacuum and mop at the lower price of the two.

Apple Home, SmartThings, Home Assistant and Matter households that want the same AutoWash dock and LiDAR mapping with native support for their platform.
