iRobot Roomba Max 705 Combo vs Roborock Saros 20

The Roborock Saros 20 is the better robot for most homes, with 36,000 Pa of suction against 13,000 Pa, a 200 minute run against about 120, a slimmer body and self-washing hot-water mops. The iRobot Roomba Max 705 Combo answers with 5 GHz Wi-Fi and Bluetooth but carries a heavier reliability risk.

Suction. The Roborock Saros 20 is rated at 36,000 Pa, close to three times the 13,000 Pa of the iRobot Roomba Max 705 Combo, and it also runs longer at 200 minutes against roughly 120.

The Roborock Saros 20, at 79.8 mm tall, reaches under low sofas and beds. The iRobot Roomba Max 705 Combo is 105 mm tall, so it cannot enter the tightest gaps.

Yes, both do. The iRobot Roomba Max 705 Combo and the Roborock Saros 20 support Alexa, Google Home, Apple Home, SmartThings, Home Assistant and Matter, so platform support is not the deciding factor.

Buyers already committed to the iRobot app and ecosystem who want 5 GHz Wi-Fi and Bluetooth, and who are prepared to weigh the model's frequent owner reports of reliability problems.

Homes with low furniture, pets and large floors that want the strongest suction, a long runtime, hot-water self-washing mops and the option to check on pets through the built-in camera.
