What the differences mean

Mopping

The Roborock Saros 10 mops, and its dock washes, dries and refills the mop and doses detergent. The iRobot Roomba Max 705 has no mopping hardware at all, so hard floors still need a manual mop.

Suction

The Roborock Saros 10 is rated at 22000 Pa and the iRobot Roomba Max 705 at 13000 Pa. Owners of both praise pet hair pickup, but the Roborock has more to draw on for carpet.

Battery

220 minutes on the Roborock Saros 10 against 120 on the iRobot Roomba Max 705, and a 2.5 hour recharge against 4.5 hours.

Dock size

The iRobot Roomba Max 705 dock is a compact 213 x 172 mm tower. The Roborock Saros 10 station is 440 mm wide, because it also holds the water tanks.

Which one to buy if

What owners say

Owners of both robots praise accurate LiDAR navigation that rarely gets stuck and strong pet hair pickup. iRobot Roomba Max 705 owners, many upgrading from older Roombas, single out how much faster and quieter it is and an AutoEmpty dock that lets it run for weeks, while their complaints are Wi-Fi setup failing with special characters in the router password, a dock that does not always clear the bin and occasional false stuck errors. Roborock Saros 10 owners rave about a dock that empties dust and dirty water and refills clean water and detergent, a slim body that slips under beds and nudges doors open and long battery life, and they mention the cost of consumables and no cleaning solution in the box.

Price history compared

Every price change of both, in the same store, so the gap between the two lines is what one costs more than the other.
