iRobot Roomba i7 vs Roborock S5

The iRobot Roomba i7 and the Roborock S5 each have their own advantages, so one may suit you better than the other depending on your needs. The iRobot can empty its internal dustbin into an external dirt compartment mounted to its charging dock, so you don't need to get your hands dirty quite as often. It also does a better job of clearing debris on low and high-pile carpets, maneuvers itself more effectively, and has a wider assortment of automation features. However, while the iRobot charges a lot faster, its maximum runtime is shorter than that of the Roborock, though that can vary in the real world. The Roborock also incurs fewer recurring costs, is easier to maintain, and comes with a mopping attachment, though we don't currently test that feature.
