What the differences mean
Suction
The iRobot Roomba 415X is rated at 20,000 Pa and the iRobot Roomba 705X at 13,000 Pa, which gives the 415X more pull on carpet.
Battery
The iRobot Roomba 415X is rated for 200 minutes and the iRobot Roomba 705X for 120. On a large floor the 415X is likelier to finish on one charge.
Height
The iRobot Roomba 415X is 84 mm tall and the iRobot Roomba 705X 105 mm, so the 415X slips under furniture the 705X cannot reach.
Smart home support
The iRobot Roomba 705X supports Apple Home, SmartThings and Matter on top of Alexa, Google Home and Home Assistant. The iRobot Roomba 415X offers Alexa, Google Home and Siri Shortcuts, with Home Assistant unconfirmed and no Matter.
Self-empty interval
The AutoWash dock on the iRobot Roomba 415X holds up to 90 days of debris, against up to 75 days on the iRobot Roomba 705X. Both wash, dry and lift the mop.

What owners say
iRobot Roomba 415X owners describe a genuinely hands-off routine: the AutoWash dock empties the bin and washes and dries the mop pads, so the robot mostly looks after itself, and the 20,000 Pa suction pulls dust from floor cracks and handles pet hair. The slimmer body is mentioned often, since it fits under beds and sofas that trapped older, bulkier robots, and owners with pets say it keeps up with daily shedding. The friction is the app, where room naming after a remap and water-tank error messages confuse people, plus hair tangling around the spinning mop module for a few owners. It is not an Apple HomeKit or Matter accessory, and its mop is not a deep scrub.
