What the differences mean
Mopping
The Roborock Qrevo S5V mops, washes and dries its pads at the dock and lifts them over carpet. The iRobot Roomba Max 715 Vac Robot + AutoEmpty Dock has no mop, no water tank and no detergent support, so it vacuums only.
Suction power
The iRobot Roomba Max 715 Vac Robot + AutoEmpty Dock is rated at 30,000 Pa and the Roborock Qrevo S5V at 12,000 Pa. The Roomba pulls far more debris out of carpet, and Automatic Carpet Boost raises the figure further on rugs.
Battery life
The Roborock Qrevo S5V is rated for 180 minutes and the iRobot Roomba Max 715 Vac Robot + AutoEmpty Dock for 120, with both returning to the dock to top up and resume. The Roborock finishes larger floors in one pass more often.
Smart home support
The iRobot Roomba Max 715 Vac Robot + AutoEmpty Dock works with Alexa, Google Home, Apple Home, SmartThings and Home Assistant through Matter. The Roborock Qrevo S5V supports Alexa, Google Home and Home Assistant and documents no Matter, Apple Home or SmartThings support.
Wi-Fi bands
The iRobot Roomba Max 715 Vac Robot + AutoEmpty Dock carries 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz Wi-Fi, while the Roborock Qrevo S5V documents 2.4 GHz only and no Bluetooth. On a split network the Roomba is the more flexible of the two.
Dock footprint
The iRobot Roomba Max 715 Vac Robot + AutoEmpty Dock sits on a compact 213 x 172 x 290 mm base and holds up to 90 days of debris. The Roborock Qrevo S5V uses a larger dock that also washes and dries the mop, which is the reason it needs the extra room.

What owners say
Roborock Qrevo S5V owners consistently highlight the strong suction and the anti-tangle brush for pet hair, and the self-emptying dock with automatic mop washing and warm-air drying that cuts weekly maintenance down to the occasional water refill. Several who upgraded from older robots note it finishes faster, navigates better under furniture and runs quietly enough for daytime or overnight use. The most detailed criticism centres on the app mapping tools: some describe the LiDAR map as rough and room editing as limited, and multi-floor use means physically moving the whole dock. A few also note default settings need raising for heavier shedding and that loose cords still have to be tidied first.
