It is rated at 25,000 Pa and 290 minutes against 13,000 Pa and 120 minutes, and its dock washes and dries the mop pads on its own.

It is also the only one of the two with 5 GHz Wi-Fi. Choose the Roborock Qrevo Curv 2 Pro for hard floors and carpet in one pass, and the iRobot Roomba Max 705 for a dry-vacuum-only home.

What the differences mean

Mopping

The iRobot Roomba Max 705 has no mopping at all, while the Roborock Qrevo Curv 2 Pro mops with a 4 L water tank and a dock that washes and dries the pads. On hard floors this is the difference that matters most; on carpet-only homes it matters less.

Runtime

290 minutes for the Roborock Qrevo Curv 2 Pro against 120 for the iRobot Roomba Max 705. In a large home the iRobot will recharge and resume mid-clean, which extends the job rather than stopping it.

Suction

25,000 Pa against 13,000 Pa. Both have carpet cleaning, but the Roborock has far more headroom for pet hair and ground-in dust.

Dock size and bin

The iRobot Roomba Max 705 dock is a compact 213.4 x 170.2 x 282 mm and its onboard bin holds 275 ml, against 245 ml on the Roborock Qrevo Curv 2 Pro, whose all-in-one dock measures 450 x 450 x 450 mm and needs a permanent corner.

Wi-Fi and platforms

The iRobot Roomba Max 705 connects on 2.4 and 5 GHz and works with Apple Home, SmartThings, Matter, Alexa, Google Home and Home Assistant. The Roborock Qrevo Curv 2 Pro is 2.4 GHz only, with Apple Home, SmartThings and Matter listed as an upcoming update.

What owners say

Owners of both robots single out the dock and the mapping. iRobot Roomba Max 705 owners, many upgrading from an older Roomba, describe faster and more accurate LiDAR mapping, strong pickup of pet hair on carpet and hardwood and an AutoEmpty dock that lets the bin go for weeks, but they report Wi-Fi setup failing when the router password contains special characters, and a few docks that do not fully clear the bin or a false stuck error. Roborock Qrevo Curv 2 Pro owners praise setup that took a couple of hours, strong mopping on top of vacuuming, a dock that also washes and dries the pads and pet extras such as the camera, and their complaints are that no floor cleaner or spare bag ships in the box and that a few found everyday suction less impressive than expected.
