$829.98$899.998% OFF

The iRobot Roomba Max 705 is the stronger robot vacuum in this comparison, winning on suction power (13000Pa versus 6000Pa), a longer 210-minute runtime, broader smart-home integrations and camera-based obstacle avoidance the Tikom L8000 Plus lacks entirely. The Tikom L8000 Plus counters with dual-band WiFi (2.4GHz and 5GHz, versus the Max 705's 2.4GHz-only), and the one thing the Roomba cannot do at all: mopping, since the Max 705 is vacuum-only while the Tikom cleans and lightly mops hard floors in the same pass. Both use LiDAR navigation and self-emptying docks, the Roomba's AutoEmpty base rated for up to 75 days and the Tikom's sealed bag for about 90. Buyers who want the strongest suction, the widest platform support and don't need mopping should choose the iRobot Roomba Max 705; buyers on a tighter budget who want a light mop pass thrown in, and who don't mind the lack of an obstacle camera, will get more for their money from the Tikom L8000 Plus.
