iRobot Roomba 705X vs Shark Stratos NeverTouch RV2720ZE

The iRobot Roomba 705X wins overall, driven by a longer battery runtime, dual-band Wi-Fi, a broader set of smart-home integrations and a higher owner rating. The Shark Stratos NeverTouch RV2720ZE is the more affordable of the two.

Smart-home compatibility is the clearest gap. The iRobot Roomba 705X supports Apple HomeKit, Samsung SmartThings and Matter alongside Alexa and Google Home, while the Shark Stratos NeverTouch RV2720ZE is limited to Alexa, Google Home and a Home Assistant integration.

Yes. The iRobot Roomba 705X and the Shark Stratos NeverTouch RV2720ZE both have a self-emptying dock that washes and dries the mop pads automatically, so neither needs manual mop maintenance between runs.

The iRobot Roomba 705X is rated for a longer runtime per charge than the Shark Stratos NeverTouch RV2720ZE, which helps it cover larger homes in a single cleaning session.

Buyers who want the widest smart-home compatibility, including Apple HomeKit and Matter, plus a longer runtime and a stronger track record among owners, should choose the iRobot Roomba 705X.

Shoppers who want a self-emptying vacuum and mop combo at a lower typical price, and who only need Alexa or Google Home rather than Apple Home or Matter, will get most of the same day-to-day cleaning from the Shark Stratos NeverTouch RV2720ZE.
