Find a robot that can reach the rooms you care about

Robot vacuums for the rooms you actually have

Start with the real constraints: the lowest sofa gap, carpet, cords, Wi-Fi and where a wash-and-empty station can live. Then decide whether you can keep up with removable tanks or can plan a suitable fixed water-and-drain connection.

Roborock comparisons

Compare height, mop movement and dock work

The QV 35A uses twin spinning pads and a dock that washes, cold-air dries and refills them; it differs from the simpler flat cloth on Q7 M5+ and the real-time refreshed roller on Qrevo Curv 2 Flow. The Qrevo S5V also uses spinning pads, but its page lists warm-air drying and 12,000 Pa suction while leaving dock-wash water temperature unspecified. The Qrevo S Pro’s up-to-75°C dock-cleaning claim is measured at the internal heater output, not at the mop itself; the S Pro review explains why the figure does not establish pad or wash-water temperature. The Qrevo 2 Pro can detach its mop mounts before suitable carpet runs when enabled in the app, but its manual bars high-pile carpet and its product page and support FAQ disagree on suction and dock-wash figures; do not treat those numbers as settled thresholds. Read the Qrevo 2 Pro review. The Qrevo Edge 2 is another low-profile, rotating-pad option, but its exact US FAQ specifies warm water in the robot's mop cycle as well as a separate 80°C dock wash. Its manual still bars high-pile carpet and liquid on the route. The Flow is not the same mechanism as the Curv family’s spinning pads, and its 119mm body is not a low-furniture design. The Qrevo Edge 3 Pro adds a claimed 100°C dock wash, a conditional double-layer threshold figure and dynamic carpet-cleaning claim up to 1.18 inches that must be enabled in the app; its reviewed FAQ does not give a numeric floor-mop water temperature. The reviewed spinning-pad Curv family spans 4.1-, 3.9- and 3.14-inch bodies; Saros models add thin retractable-LDS and solid-state 3D ToF designs. The Saros Z70 adds an app-configured arm for a limited set of light items, not a general-purpose picker; its current class list and 0.3kg load cap matter more than novelty. Compare Z70, Saros 10R and Edge 2. The four Q10 packages combine two mop choices—S5's VibraRise 2.0 or X5's automatic-lift pad—with either a standard charging dock or a dust auto-empty dock. Even the Q10+ dock does not wash or dry its mop. The Saros 10 with Refill & Drainage System instead needs a fixed water supply and drain; tank-based mop docks have a different station routine. The Saros 20 returns to dual spinning pads in a 3.14-inch StarSight robot; Saros 20 Flow is taller at 3.54 inches and uses a refreshed roller with 2.4GHz-only app Wi-Fi. Both list a conditional 3.46-inch double-layer threshold maximum, and neither publishes a numeric floor-water temperature. Compare Saros 20 and Saros 20 Flow. Compare S5V, S Pro and QV 35A or compare roller and spinning-pad mops.

Roomba Combo and vacuum-only choices

Choose the function and dock task that fit your routine

The Roomba 205 DustCompactor L124020 compresses dust inside a bagless robot bin instead of transferring it to an AutoEmpty dock; its out-of-stock offer is retained as a model reference, not a current recommendation. The Roomba 105 Combo Y314020 uses a charge-only dock; Y354020 adds bagged dust emptying, while the Smoke finish Y351420 is documented under that same Combo AutoEmpty product group. The Max 705 Vac W155020 is different: it vacuums only, supports the AutoEmpty dust dock and is listed for both 2.4 and 5 GHz Wi-Fi. The Plus 505 Combo N185020 adds dual spinning pads and a tank-based AutoWash dock that washes and dries them; the white N185220 is the same functional package in another finish. Its water tanks still need owner care. Compare the charge-only 105 Combo, 105 Combo + AutoEmpty and Max 705 Vac, then read the dock comparison or 105 Combo versus Max 705 guide, or the three-way AutoWash comparison before choosing based on mopping, network and maintenance.

Practical decisions

Measure, plan and maintain

A robot's route includes thresholds, dark carpet, charging space and the station's tanks or water-line installation—not just the room shown on a product page.

Start here
