What the differences mean
Suction power
The Roborock Qrevo Edge 3 Pro is rated at 36,000 Pa and the iRobot Roomba Max 705 Combo at 13,000 Pa, close to three times the figure. That is what the Roborock uses to lift embedded pet hair out of carpet on a single pass.
Battery life
The Roborock Qrevo Edge 3 Pro is rated at 256 minutes and the iRobot Roomba Max 705 Combo at about 120. The Roborock can cover a whole floor and then some, while the iRobot often returns to recharge partway through a large home.
Connectivity
The iRobot Roomba Max 705 Combo joins 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz Wi-Fi and adds Bluetooth, while the Roborock Qrevo Edge 3 Pro is 2.4 GHz only and lists no Bluetooth. On a dual-band router the iRobot is the easier one to place.
Body height
The Roborock Qrevo Edge 3 Pro is 79.5 mm tall with a retractable LiDAR turret that lets it work under furniture with as little as 3.13 in of clearance. The iRobot Roomba Max 705 Combo is 105 mm, so low sofas stop it.
Which one to buy if
- you have shedding pets and carpet
The Roborock Qrevo Edge 3 Pro is rated at 36,000 Pa with a Dual Zero-Tangle brush built to pass hair through.
- price is the deciding factor
The iRobot Roomba Max 705 Combo is the cheaper of the two and still maps with LiDAR and washes and dries its mop.
- you need 5 GHz Wi-Fi or Bluetooth
The iRobot Roomba Max 705 Combo supports both Wi-Fi bands and Bluetooth; the Roborock Qrevo Edge 3 Pro is 2.4 GHz only.

The Roborock Qrevo Edge 3 Pro is rated at 256 minutes against about 120 for the iRobot Roomba Max 705 Combo.

What owners say
Owners of both robots want the dock to take over, and both groups praise a station that washes and dries the mop without being asked. Roborock Qrevo Edge 3 Pro owners single out the fast setup, the way it pulls hair out of carpet and a detergent tank that mixes solution for them, while they warn about the large dock, 2.4 GHz-only Wi-Fi, consumables that do not carry over from older Roborocks and a one-year warranty. iRobot Roomba Max 705 Combo owners describe the familiar split: accurate LiDAR mapping and a capable AutoWash dock when the unit behaves, against frequent false bin and dirty-water errors, leaking docks and a buggy app.
