It takes the pairing on smart home reach, supporting 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz Wi-Fi and Matter, which brings Apple Home, SmartThings and Home Assistant alongside Alexa and Google Home, where the Roborock Qrevo S5V stops at Alexa, Google Home, Home Assistant and 2.4 GHz. The Roborock Qrevo S5V answers with stronger suction at 12000Pa against 7000Pa, the number that matters on carpet, plus a 2.7 L dock bin against an unpublished capacity on the iRobot. Both spin their mops, empty, wash and dry automatically, and neither has an automatic detergent dispenser. Battery life is a tie at 180 minutes each. Choose the iRobot Roomba Plus 505 for the broader ecosystem and the Roborock Qrevo S5V for the stronger vacuum.

What the differences mean

Suction power

12000Pa on the Roborock Qrevo S5V against 7000Pa on the iRobot Roomba Plus 505. The Roborock digs deeper into carpet and heavier pet hair, while the iRobot is sized for everyday debris.

Smart home reach

The iRobot Roomba Plus 505 is Matter enabled over 2.4 GHz or 5 GHz Wi-Fi, reaching Apple Home, SmartThings and Home Assistant. The Roborock Qrevo S5V supports Alexa, Google Home and Home Assistant on 2.4 GHz, with no Apple HomeKit, SmartThings or Matter.

Dock bin

The Roborock Qrevo S5V specifies a 2.7 L dock bin. The iRobot Roomba Plus 505 self-empties but does not publish its dock capacity, so the two cannot be lined up on that figure.

Price positioning

The Roborock Qrevo S5V is the more affordable machine, while the iRobot Roomba Plus 505 asks more for its wider ecosystem support. Both drop to the same level of hands-off cleaning.

What owners say

iRobot Roomba Plus 505 owners praise how quickly the LiDAR map comes together and how fully the AutoWash dock takes over, washing and drying the mop pads and emptying the bin, with pet owners reporting strong hair pickup across carpet and hard floor; they warn that the self-cleaning cycle is loud and that a minority saw bumper or navigation errors after a few months. Roborock Qrevo S5V owners also like the hands-off dock and the anti-tangle brushes, and say it is quiet enough to run during the day or overnight; their main criticism is the app's mapping and room editing, and that using it upstairs means moving the whole dock.
