For most smart-home buyers, yes: the iRobot Roomba 505X edges out the Roborock Qrevo QV 35A overall by connecting on dual-band Wi-Fi and reaching Apple HomeKit, Samsung SmartThings and Matter on top of Alexa and Google Home. The Roborock Qrevo QV 35A is a genuine alternative rather than a clear step down, since it typically costs less, and both are rated for 180 minutes per charge. Both robots self-empty at the dock, use LiDAR navigation with no-go zones, and wash and dry their own mop pads. Households already on Apple or Matter should choose the iRobot Roomba 505X; buyers who want a lower price should pick the Roborock Qrevo QV 35A.
