Updated August 2026

Data from Amazon and official iRobot and Roborock sites.

2026 verdict

Both of these robots mop, self-empty and wash their own mop pads, so the iRobot Roomba Plus 505 wins on the surrounding package: it typically costs less, carries a higher owner rating, adds 5GHz Wi-Fi on top of 2.4GHz, and reaches Apple HomeKit, Samsung SmartThings and Matter alongside Google Home, Alexa and Home Assistant, none of which the Roborock Qrevo S5V covers beyond Home Assistant. The Roborock Qrevo S5V pulls ahead on raw cleaning power, with 12000Pa suction against the Roomba Plus 505's 7000Pa, and it runs longer per charge at up to 180 minutes versus 120 minutes. Both use laser navigation with multi-room mapping and no-go zones. Buyers who prioritize suction and longer unattended runs should pick the Roborock Qrevo S5V; anyone who wants broader smart-home reach, a higher-rated robot and a lower price should choose the iRobot Roomba Plus 505.
