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.

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.
