What the differences mean
Mopping
The Roborock Qrevo 2 Pro mops with dual spinning pads that it parks in the dock before entering carpet, then washes with hot water and dries with warm air. The iRobot Roomba Max 705 cannot mop at all, so it is the straightforward choice only if floors just need vacuuming.
Suction and runtime
The Roborock Qrevo 2 Pro is rated at 20000Pa and up to 253 minutes, against 13000Pa and 120 minutes for the iRobot Roomba Max 705. The Roborock more than doubles the runtime, which matters on a large floor.
Mop and dock routine
The Roborock Qrevo 2 Pro's dock empties the bin, refills water, hot-washes the pads and dries them, so weekly work is mostly water. The iRobot Roomba Max 705 only empties the bin, because it has no mop or water system to maintain.
Navigation and noise
Both map with LiDAR. The Roborock Qrevo 2 Pro is rated at 54dB, quiet for a mopping robot, while the iRobot Roomba Max 705 does not publish a noise level, though owners describe it as quieter than older Roombas.
Platform support
Both work with Alexa, Google Home, Apple Home, SmartThings, Home Assistant and Matter. The iRobot Roomba Max 705 connects over 2.4GHz and 5GHz Wi-Fi and lists Bluetooth, and the Roborock Qrevo 2 Pro is 2.4GHz only but reaches the same platforms.
Which one to buy if
- you have a mix of carpet and hard floors
The Roborock Qrevo 2 Pro parks its mops in the dock before carpet and washes and dries them afterward, where the iRobot Roomba Max 705 cannot mop.
- you have heavy-shedding pets
The Roborock Qrevo 2 Pro is rated at 20000Pa against 13000Pa and pairs it with a Dual Zero-Tangle brush system owners rate highly for pet hair.
- you only need vacuuming and want the simpler robot
The iRobot Roomba Max 705 has no water parts or mop to maintain and still maps with LiDAR and works with every major platform.
- you want the longest runtime per charge
The Roborock Qrevo 2 Pro is rated at up to 253 minutes against 120 for the iRobot Roomba Max 705.
- you want the lower price of the pair
The Roborock Qrevo 2 Pro is the more affordable of the two despite carrying far more hardware.

What owners say
Owners of both robots like a hands-off routine and reliable mapping, and both groups describe cleaning they can set and forget. iRobot Roomba Max 705 owners praise faster, more accurate LiDAR mapping than older Roombas, strong pet-hair pickup and quieter runs, with the AutoEmpty dock the reason they stop touching a bin, while they flag Wi-Fi setup failures with special-character passwords and a few false stuck errors. Roborock Qrevo 2 Pro owners call its mapping the fastest they have seen, single out Auto Mop Removal for letting it enter carpeted rooms without damp pads, and praise its dock and heavy-shedder pickup, but a minority report hair surviving the self-empty cycle, LiDAR mapping through glass doors and an uneven support experience.
Frequently Asked Questions
Which is better overall: iRobot Roomba Max 705 or Roborock Qrevo 2 Pro?
The Roborock Qrevo 2 Pro for most homes, with mopping, a self-cleaning dock, more suction and twice the runtime. The iRobot Roomba Max 705 is the simpler choice for buyers who only want a dedicated, well-connected vacuum.
What is the biggest difference between the iRobot Roomba Max 705 and the Roborock Qrevo 2 Pro?
Mopping. The Roborock Qrevo 2 Pro mops with pads it parks before carpet and then hot-washes and dries, while the iRobot Roomba Max 705 is vacuum-only and answers with dual-band Wi-Fi and universal platform support.
Does the iRobot Roomba Max 705 mop?
No. It is a vacuum-only robot with no water tank or mop pad. The Roborock Qrevo 2 Pro is the one of the two that mops and cleans its own pads.
How does the Roborock Qrevo 2 Pro handle carpet if it mops?
Its Auto Mop Removal detaches the mops and leaves them in the dock before it cleans carpet, then reattaches them, and it also lifts the mopping module by 15mm. The iRobot Roomba Max 705 is unaffected because it has no mop.
Who should buy the Roborock Qrevo 2 Pro?
Homes with mixed carpet and hard floors and heavy-shedding pets that want fast mapping, strong suction, a long runtime and a dock that handles emptying, refilling, washing and drying.
Who should buy the iRobot Roomba Max 705?
Buyers who only want vacuuming, value a lower-maintenance robot with no water systems, and need dual-band Wi-Fi and support for every major smart home platform.
