The iRobot Roomba 705X answers with a lower price and is the better reviewed of the two, and both share the same broad smart home reach, working with Alexa, Google Home, Apple Home, SmartThings, Home Assistant and Matter, plus a dock that empties, washes and dries the mop on its own. For a large home with low furniture, the Roborock Saros 20 Sonic's extra suction and slim profile are worth the higher price; buyers who want the same automation for less should pick the iRobot Roomba 705X.
