It is rated at 20000Pa and up to 242 minutes, runs a roller mop that rinses itself in clean water while it works, and a dock that empties the bin, washes the roller and dries it with warm air. The iRobot Roomba Max 705 is the simpler vacuum-only robot: it maps with LiDAR, works with every major smart home platform over dual-band Wi-Fi and connects over 2.4GHz and 5GHz, while the Roborock is 2.4GHz only and treats Apple Home, SmartThings and Matter as an upcoming update. The Max 705 cannot mop and stands 104mm tall, where the Roborock is 119mm. Pick the Roborock Qrevo Curv 2 Flow for one machine to vacuum and mop, and the iRobot Roomba Max 705 if you only want a well-connected vacuum.

What the differences mean

Mopping

The Roborock Qrevo Curv 2 Flow mops with a roller that is rinsed continuously and then washed and warm-air dried at the dock. The iRobot Roomba Max 705 has no mopping at all, no water tank and no pads, so it is a vacuum-only robot.

Suction and runtime

The Roborock Qrevo Curv 2 Flow is rated at 20000Pa and up to 242 minutes, against 13000Pa and 120 minutes for the iRobot Roomba Max 705. On a large single floor that is roughly double the runtime per charge.

Mop care

The Roborock Qrevo Curv 2 Flow washes, dries and lifts its roller at the dock from a 4L tank with detergent compatibility, though it does not dose detergent automatically. The iRobot Roomba Max 705 has none of this because it does not mop.

Connectivity

The iRobot Roomba Max 705 is the better-connected robot: dual-band 2.4GHz and 5GHz Wi-Fi, where the Roborock Qrevo Curv 2 Flow is 2.4GHz only. The iRobot lists Bluetooth, which Roborock does not document for the Qrevo Curv 2 Flow, and the Roborock's Apple Home, SmartThings and Matter support is announced as an upcoming update rather than available now.

Height

The iRobot Roomba Max 705 stands 104mm tall and the Roborock Qrevo Curv 2 Flow 119mm, so the iRobot slips under lower sofas and cabinets. The Roborock trades that clearance for the roller mop hardware it carries.

Which one to buy if

What owners say

Owners of both robots agree on the appeal of a dock that does the dirty work, then diverge. iRobot Roomba Max 705 owners praise faster, more accurate LiDAR mapping than older Roombas, strong pet-hair pickup and quieter runs, and they single out the AutoEmpty dock for going weeks without a bin to touch, while flagging Wi-Fi setup failures with special-character passwords and occasional false stuck errors. Roborock Qrevo Curv 2 Flow owners describe running it daily for weeks with no rescues, a self-rinsing roller mop they rate highly on hard floors, and app control they call a step up from Roomba, but they warn that it does not clean tight to baseboards or low cabinet kicks and that a minority see streaking on hardwood.
