iRobot Roomba Max 705 Combo vs Tikom L8000 Plus

The iRobot Roomba Max 705 Combo. It adds obstacle detection, more suction and a mop the dock washes and dries, and it reaches every major smart home platform. The Tikom L8000 Plus is the better value, with a higher owner rating and a longer battery.

Mop upkeep. The iRobot Roomba Max 705 Combo washes, dries and lifts its roller mop at the dock and doses detergent, while the Tikom L8000 Plus uses a plain pad over a 300 ml tank with no washing, drying or carpet lift.

No. The Tikom L8000 Plus works with Alexa, Google Home and Home Assistant through the Tuya app. Only the iRobot Roomba Max 705 Combo supports Matter, which is what brings it into Apple Home and SmartThings.

The iRobot Roomba Max 705 Combo, at 13,000 Pa against 6,000 Pa. The advantage shows most on carpet, where the stronger motor pulls embedded grit out of the pile.

A connected home that wants hands-off mopping and does not mind a premium price: it maps, empties, washes and dries on its own and speaks to Apple Home, SmartThings and Home Assistant.

A budget buyer on hard floors and low-pile rugs who wants real LiDAR mapping and a self-empty dock for far less, and who will clear cords and rugs before each run.
