iRobot Roomba 705X vs MOVA E40 Ultra

Full Robot Vacuums comparison in 2026

Updated September 2026
Data from Amazon and official iRobot and MOVA sites.
2026 verdict
Apple HomeKit with Siri control is rare for a robot vacuum, and it helps carry the iRobot Roomba 705X past the MOVA E40 Ultra here, with wins on connectivity, integrations and cliff detection.
It supports Google Home, Alexa, Apple HomeKit, Matter and IFTTT, adds 5GHz Wi-Fi, and includes cliff detection the MOVA's spec sheet does not list, on top of a self-washing PowerSpin roller mop whose AutoWash dock can go up to 75 days between emptyings. The MOVA E40 Ultra's strengths sit in the fundamentals buyers watch closest: it typically costs less, runs about 260 minutes per charge against 180, and backs it with a three-year warranty versus one year. Both use LiDAR mapping with no-go zones and wash and dry their own mop pads automatically, so day-to-day cleaning quality is close. Buyers deep in the Apple ecosystem who want the widest smart-home reach and the longest interval between dock emptyings should choose the iRobot Roomba 705X; those who want a longer runtime, a longer warranty and a lower price should choose the MOVA E40 Ultra.
