What the differences mean

Mopping

This is the deciding difference. The Roborock Saros 10R mops with pads the station washes, dries and doses with detergent, and lifts them over rugs. The iRobot Roomba Max 705 does not mop at all, so hard floors still need a manual pass or a second machine.

Suction

22,000 Pa on the Roborock Saros 10R against 13,000 Pa on the iRobot Roomba Max 705. Owners of both praise pet hair pickup, but the Roborock has more reserve for embedded dirt in carpet.

Dock size

The iRobot Roomba Max 705's auto-empty dock is 213 x 172 x 290 mm and 2.3 kg; the Roborock Saros 10R's station is 381 x 475 x 488 mm because it holds water tanks. Measure your spot before choosing the Roborock.

Height

At 79.8 mm the Roborock Saros 10R slips under furniture the 104 mm iRobot Roomba Max 705 cannot, which is where dust and pet hair gather.

Runtime and Wi-Fi

The Roborock Saros 10R runs 180 minutes against 120, while the iRobot Roomba Max 705 connects on 5 GHz as well as 2.4 GHz, a small convenience on dual-band routers. The Wi-Fi gap changes little in an average home.

What owners say

Owners of both robots praise LiDAR mapping that is fast and accurate, and many Roborock Saros 10R buyers are former Roomba owners, just like the iRobot Roomba Max 705 owners who upgraded from older Roombas. The iRobot Roomba Max 705 group singles out its self-emptying dock, strong pet hair pickup on carpet and quieter running than past Roombas, while complaining about Wi-Fi setup rejecting router passwords with special characters and the dock not always clearing the bin. Roborock Saros 10R owners talk about mopping that scrubs up paw prints, obstacle avoidance that reaches furniture legs without scraping them and brushes that stay free of long hair, and their gripes are no floor cleaner in the box, heavier water use, a small gap between mop pads and silicone brushes that struggle on high-pile rugs.

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.
