iRobot Roomba 705X vs Roborock Qrevo S5V

Neither wins outright. They tie on runtime, navigation and dock automation. The iRobot Roomba 705X leads on Apple HomeKit support, its heated-water PowerSpin roller mop and a dock that lasts up to 75 days. The Roborock Qrevo S5V leads on price and Home Assistant integration.

Which ecosystem each one favours. The Roomba 705X is one of the few robots with Apple HomeKit and Siri control, while the Roborock Qrevo S5V is the one that plugs into Home Assistant. Beyond that, the Roomba mops with a scrubbing roller and the Roborock costs less.

Yes. Both empty the robot, wash and dry the mop and dispense cleaning solution without help. The Roomba 705X extends the emptying interval to up to 75 days, which is the longest in common use, while the Roborock's dock follows a more conventional cycle.

The iRobot Roomba 705X tends to be the quieter of the two, since the Roborock Qrevo S5V is rated at 64dB. If you plan to run cleaning while working from home, that difference is noticeable, especially during the dock's emptying cycle.

Buy the iRobot Roomba 705X if you want Apple HomeKit and Siri control, a PowerSpin roller mop that scrubs at 200 RPM with heated-water washing and automatic cleaning solution, PrecisionVision obstacle avoidance and up to 75 days between dock emptying.

Buy the Roborock Qrevo S5V if you want the same core capabilities for less money and need Home Assistant integration, with LiDAR mapping, cliff detection, no-go zones, automatic detergent, a self-emptying and self-washing dock and a 1-year warranty.
