It supports 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz Wi-Fi and Matter, which brings Apple Home, SmartThings and Home Assistant alongside Alexa and Google Home, where the Roborock Qrevo S5V stops at Alexa, Google Home, Home Assistant and 2.4 GHz. The iRobot Roomba 505X also comes in at the lower price. The Roborock Qrevo S5V answers with stronger suction at 12000Pa against 7000Pa and a larger onboard dustbin at 325 ml against 295 ml, and both deploy a dock that empties the bin, washes the mop and dries it. Neither has an automatic detergent dispenser, so the cleaning solution is a manual step on both. Choose the iRobot Roomba 505X for a multi-platform smart home and the lower price, and the Roborock Qrevo S5V if suction and a bigger onboard bin matter more.

What the differences mean

Suction power

12000Pa on the Roborock Qrevo S5V against 7000Pa on the iRobot Roomba 505X. The Roborock pulls harder on carpet and heavier pet hair, while the iRobot is built for everyday debris on hard floors.

Smart home reach

The iRobot Roomba 505X is Matter enabled and supports 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz Wi-Fi, so it reaches Apple Home, SmartThings and Home Assistant. The Roborock Qrevo S5V works with Alexa, Google Home and Home Assistant on 2.4 GHz, with no Apple HomeKit, SmartThings or Matter.

Onboard dustbin

The Roborock Qrevo S5V has a 325 ml onboard bin against 295 ml on the iRobot Roomba 505X, a small difference that mostly matters between dock empties.

Dock bin

The Roborock Qrevo S5V specifies a 2.7 L dock bin. The iRobot Roomba 505X states an emptying interval of up to 75 days but does not publish its dock capacity.

What owners say

iRobot Roomba 505X owners say the AutoWash dock takes most of the work away, emptying the bin and washing and drying the mop pads so weeks pass between manual trips, and they rate the LiDAR mapping and pet-hair pickup on hardwood and tile. Their complaints are a loud cleaning cycle, a fiddly first Wi-Fi pairing and occasional mapping resets. Roborock Qrevo S5V owners also praise the self-emptying, self-washing dock and report strong pet-hair pickup from the anti-tangle brushes, noting it runs quietly enough for daytime or overnight use; their criticism centers on the app's mapping and room-editing tools, which several found rough, and on multi-floor use that requires moving the whole dock.
