All robot vacuums. Every figure below is placed against the whole class, so a gap can be read against how much the class itself varies.
Where each one suits you.
The conditions each robot was assessed against, side by side. Rows marked in gold are where these machines genuinely differ.
| Condition | iRobot Roomba Max 715 | Roborock Qrevo S Pro |
|---|---|---|
| Home size | ||
| Under 1,500 sqft | GoodCapable but self-empty dock is overkill for compact homes; smaller J7 or budget model sufficient. | Good240-minute runtime and about 1,495 sq ft measured per charge easily covers compact layouts in one pass. |
| 1,500 – 3,000 | GoodFlagship positioning; covers 1500-3000 sqft in 1-2 scheduled runs with dock self-empty. | GoodIndependent testing measured roughly 1,495 sq ft cleaned per charge, enough for most homes in this range without a recharge stop. |
| Over 3,000 | Depends120-min runtime may require two passes on 3000+ sqft homes without breaks; schedule multiple runs. | DependsAt about 1,495 sq ft measured per charge, homes above 3,000 sq ft likely need more than one charge cycle to finish. |
| Primary floors | ||
| Hard floors | GoodSealed hard-floor performance strong; pre-filter and cliff sensors handle transitions well. | Good18,500 Pa suction and automatically lifting mop pads clean bare floors without extra setup or manual pad removal. |
| Low / medium pile | GoodHistorical j-series strength; 8500 Pa suction covers low-pile and standard carpet reliably. | GoodIndependent testing measured 81 percent carpet debris removal, matching the category average despite a single rubber main brush. |
| High pile / shagthey differ | PoorOwner reports on iRobot models document suction loss and motor strain on shag and high-pile carpet. | DependsThe single rubber main brush gives less mechanical agitation than a bristle brush, so thick high-pile carpet likely sees reduced pickup. |
| Mopping needs | ||
| Vacuum only | GoodVacuum-only robot — matches a vacuum-only need. | GoodStrong vacuum; the mop lifts or detaches when not needed. |
| Light moppingthey differ | PoorThis model has no mopping function. | GoodActive mopping system covers routine floors easily. |
| Frequent moppingthey differ | PoorNo mop at all; choose a vacuum-and-mop robot instead. | GoodPressure or rotating mop with self-wash is built for frequent mopping. |
| Upkeep you accept | ||
| Regular upkeep | GoodAbout 90 minutes of upkeep a month. | GoodAbout 45 minutes of upkeep a month. |
| Some upkeepthey differ | DependsAbout 90 minutes of upkeep a month, which is over an hour. | GoodAbout 45 minutes of upkeep a month. |
| Minimal upkeepthey differ | PoorAbout 90 minutes of upkeep a month, which is over an hour. | DependsAbout 45 minutes of upkeep a month. Minimal is 30 or less. |
A robot being poor for a condition is a fact about fit, not a fault. “Depends” means the record names a limit worth reading, not that the answer is unknown.
How far apart is a long way?
A number only means something next to the spread it sits in. Each track is the real range across every classified robot in the class, with the median marked.

What the numbers leave out.
Written on each record, and the only thing here every robot on the site carries.
The trade-off
What each design gives up to be good at what it is good at.
iRobot Roomba Max 715
Vacuum-only design. No mopping even with third-party pads. Wet floors need a separate machine or a Combo-line model with the AutoWash dock.
Dock footprint is substantial. Self-empty convenience trades off 18 × 17 inches of floor space. Base model Roomba j7 has smaller dock or manual bin.
Roborock Qrevo S Pro
This is a flagship-grade mop paired with a mid-pack brush: the dock out-cleans machines twice its price, and the main roller falls behind machines half its price on pet hair.
Structured-light obstacle avoidance caught only 5 of 24 test obstacles, so floors need clearing before a run that a stronger sensor suite would tolerate left alone.
Single rubber main brush: strong on bare-floor debris, prone to hair wrap in shedding-pet homes.
Who each one is wrong for
Stated by the record itself. A robot being wrong for a household is a fact about fit, not a fault.
iRobot Roomba Max 715
- High-pile or shag carpet users without other options
- iRobot's gyroscope-based suspension historically struggles with high-pile textures. Pre-filter clogs faster on heavy-shed carpet. Owner reports on the Max 715 specifically pending.
- Small apartments under 1500 sqft wanting cost minimal
- Self-emptying dock adds $200+ to base model cost. Mid-range J7 or S6 without dock offers comparable coverage at lower total cost for compact layouts.
- Homes requiring mopping alongside vacuuming
- No mopping function, no water tank and no pad mount. Households wanting wet cleaning in the same machine need iRobot's Combo line or a separate mop.
- 5 GHz Wi-Fi only networks
- iRobot Roomba models require 2.4 GHz connectivity for mapping and app control. Homes with 5-only networks require mesh or access-point addition.
Roborock Qrevo S Pro
- Households with long-haired shedding pets
- Independent testing measured 43 percent pickup on flattened pet hair against an 82 percent category average, with 62 percent hair tangling on the main brush versus 26 percent average.
- Cluttered floors left unprepared before each run
- The same testing recorded avoidance of only 5 of 24 obstacles against a 16-obstacle average, so small items left on the floor are more likely to be pushed or picked up.
- Owners sensitive to loud dust-emptying cycles
- One reviewer measured about 70 decibels during the dock's self-emptying cycle, loud enough to be noticed over a television in the next room.
- Tight layouts with narrow furniture gaps
- A reviewer noted the robot's size limits maneuvering around furniture in tightly arranged rooms, a factor separate from its mapping or suction performance.
- Buyers who need aggressive deep-pile carpet agitation
- A single rubber main brush provides less mechanical agitation than a bristle-and-rubber combination brush, a documented design trade-off on thick, deep-pile carpet.
What stays your job
The upkeep ownership hands back to you, whatever the autonomy level says.
iRobot Roomba Max 715
- Weekly: Check brush rollers for hair wraps; manual removal of tangled strands.
- Monthly: Washable pre-filter rinse under running water; allow to air dry.
- Every 3-6 months: Replace primary filter cartridge, or sooner if the home has pets or a high dust load.
- Every 90 days: Replace the AutoEmpty dock bag when the indicator triggers.
- Annually: Replace side brush and main brush assemblies.
- As needed: Clear cliff sensors and camera lens of dust; mild cloth wipe.
Roborock Qrevo S Pro
- Weekly: Check and refill the 4-liter clean water tank depending on mopping frequency.
- Weekly: Empty the 4-liter dirty water tank after mopping-heavy weeks.
- As needed: Clear tangled hair from the single rubber main brush; independent testing found tangling well above the category average in pet households.
- Monthly: Wipe down the arc-shaped anti-tangle side brush and check for debris buildup.
- Every 3-6 months: Replace the auto-empty dock’s 2.7-liter dust bag (multi-bag packs run roughly $15-25).
- Every 3-6 months: Swap mop pads and filter; third-party kits bundle both for roughly $25-30.
- Annually: Inspect and replace the side brush and main brush if worn (official parts run about $12-16 each).
How much each of these is standing on.
Classifications rest on different depths of evidence. A pre-release assessment and a verified one are not the same kind of claim.

Evidence status counts the sources behind a classification, not their kind. A high count can be maker documentation and price coverage, so read it as how much was reviewed rather than as independent testing. How we weigh evidence.
