Full Robot Vacuums comparison in 2026

Updated November 2026
Data from the official iRobot and Shark sites.
2026 verdict
A steeper price and a lower owner rating hold back the iRobot Roomba Max 705 Combo against the Shark Stratos NeverTouch RV2720ZE here, even with a broader integrations list on its side.

The Roomba Max 705 Combo supports Apple HomeKit, Samsung SmartThings and Matter alongside Bluetooth and dual-band Wi-Fi, well ahead of the Stratos NeverTouch's Google Home, Alexa and Home Assistant only setup over 2.4GHz. But the Shark Stratos NeverTouch RV2720ZE costs less and carries a higher owner rating, though it runs slightly shorter, 110 minutes per charge against 120, and both machines otherwise match on mopping, self-emptying and LiDAR mapping with no-go zones. Buyers who specifically need HomeKit, SmartThings or Matter should choose the iRobot Roomba Max 705 Combo; everyone else will likely be better served by the Shark Stratos NeverTouch RV2720ZE's lower price and higher owner rating.
