2026 verdict
A vacuum-only Roomba meets a mopping flagship: the Roborock Qrevo Edge 2 wins this robot vacuum comparison because it mops, washes and dries pads and pulls 25000Pa, none of which the iRobot Roomba Max 705 offers.
The iRobot Roomba Max 705 still self-empties and is the more affordable vacuum-only LiDAR option with 5GHz Wi-Fi, though it lasts 120 minutes per charge against 188. If floors need wet cleaning, the Roborock Qrevo Edge 2 is the one to buy. If you already mop by hand and want a quieter vacuum run, the iRobot Roomba Max 705 is the honest alternative.
