The MOVA E40 Ultra still leads this robot vacuum pair, on a 260 minute battery, a 3 year warranty, 19000Pa against 13000Pa, and the higher owner rating. The iRobot Roomba Max 705 Combo answers with Matter, Apple Home, SmartThings and documented 5 GHz Wi-Fi, plus a dock that doses detergent on its own. Both self-empty, wash, dry and lift the mop. Pick the MOVA E40 Ultra unless Apple Home or Matter is the reason you are here, in which case the iRobot Roomba Max 705 Combo is the one that speaks those platforms.

What the differences mean

Runtime and warranty

The MOVA E40 Ultra is rated for 260 minutes with a 3 year warranty. The iRobot Roomba Max 705 Combo is rated for 120 minutes with a 1 year warranty. The Roomba also recharges in 4.5 hours. The MOVA does not publish a charge time.

Suction

The MOVA E40 Ultra publishes 19000Pa and the iRobot Roomba Max 705 Combo 13000Pa. Both list carpet cleaning, so the gap is how hard each pulls, not whether either attempts a rug.

Smart home

The iRobot Roomba Max 705 Combo supports Alexa, Google Home, Apple Home, SmartThings, Home Assistant and Matter, on 2.4 and 5 GHz. The MOVA E40 Ultra supports Alexa, Google Home and Home Assistant, and it does not support Apple Home, SmartThings or Matter.

Detergent

The iRobot Roomba Max 705 Combo dispenses detergent automatically. The MOVA E40 Ultra is detergent compatible, but the dispenser is sold separately. Both wash and dry the mop and both self-empty.

What owners say

Owners of both machines praise a LiDAR map and pet hair on hard floors, then describe very different reliability. iRobot Roomba Max 705 Combo owners who got a good unit like the extending roller and floors that dry, and a large share report false bin and water errors, leaks, unfinished jobs, streaks, a buggy schedule and slow support. MOVA E40 Ultra owners single out an easy setup, quiet running and a bag they forget, and they warn about mop pads that fall off mid-run and some motor or side-brush failures inside the first year, with support that helped several of them and stalled for others.

Price history compared

Every price change of both, in the same store, so the gap between the two lines is what one costs more than the other.
