The iRobot Roomba Plus 505 comes out on top against the Roborock Qrevo QV 35A, helped by a typically lower price, dual-band Wi-Fi and a considerably wider set of smart-home integrations that include Apple HomeKit, Samsung SmartThings and Matter. The Roborock Qrevo QV 35A fights back with a higher published suction rating, a genuine strength on heavily soiled carpets, while both are rated for 180 minutes per charge. Both robots are self-emptying vacuum-and-mop combos with LiDAR navigation, no-go zones and a dock that washes and dries the mop pads automatically. Smart-home households and value-focused buyers should lean toward the iRobot Roomba Plus 505; anyone prioritizing raw suction over platform breadth should pick the Roborock Qrevo QV 35A.
