2026 verdict

Nearly everything else ties: both vacuum and mop with a self-emptying, self-washing dock, navigate with LiDAR, and support the same broad integrations list covering Alexa, Google Home, Apple HomeKit, Samsung SmartThings, Home Assistant and Matter. The iRobot Roomba 505X's answer is price, since it typically costs less for what is, feature for feature, a very similar machine. With suction, mopping automation, obstacle detection and no-go zones all tied between them, there is little risk in choosing either on spec alone. If runtime per charge matters most for your floor plan, pick the Roborock Saros 10; if you want the same experience for less, the iRobot Roomba 505X is an easy recommendation.
