Compare 3i P10 Ultra by 3i & iRobot Roomba Max 705 by iRobot

The 3i P10 Ultra delivers strong real-world cleaning with 18,000 Pa suction effective on hard floors and carpets, enhanced by auto carpet boost, dual 220 RPM spinning mops for scrubbing, and an extendable pad for edges and corners. The Roomba Max 705 relies on dirt detection sensors and PrecisionVision AI for targeted cleaning, performing well on pet hair and debris in premium homes but lacks dedicated mopping. In mixed-floor tests, the 3i handles pet hair and stains better due to its mopping integration, while Roomba prioritizes vacuuming efficiency.

Both use SLAM-based navigation with LiDAR, but the 3i P10 Ultra adds spinning LiDAR, dual 3D structured light, AI camera, and ultrasonic sensors for 100+ object recognition and multi-floor maps. The Roomba Max 705 employs ClearView Pro LiDAR and PrecisionVision AI camera with cliff and bump sensors for accurate mapping in large spaces. The 3i's extra sensors provide superior obstacle avoidance in cluttered homes, though Roomba's system is refined for consistent pathing.

The 3i P10 Ultra offers up to 200 minutes runtime from its 5200 mAh battery, supporting extended sessions with a typical 2-3 year service life. The Roomba Max 705 matches the 2-3 year battery life but lacks specified runtime details beyond standard 0.3 m/s speed. For longer cleaning cycles, the 3i provides a clear edge in coverage per charge.

The 3i P10 Ultra uses a proprietary app with AI-enhanced algorithms, no-go zones, and voice control via Alexa and Google Assistant. Roomba Max 705 integrates with the Roomba Home App, supporting Alexa, Siri, and Google Assistant for scheduling and multi-floor mapping. Roomba's ecosystem offers broader voice compatibility, while 3i's app emphasizes AI dirt detection and cleaning customization.

At 34 cm diameter x 10 cm height and 4.5 kg, the 3i P10 Ultra features a low-profile design with 20-25 mm threshold climbing, bagged self-empty dock, hot-water mop washing, and drying for low maintenance. The lighter 3.4 kg Roomba Max 705 measures 35.6 x 35.1 x 10.4 cm, focusing on durable build without mopping maintenance needs. The 3i requires less frequent intervention due to its all-in-one station handling 70 days of dust and mop care.

The 3i P10 Ultra suits mixed hard floors, carpets, pet hair, and edge mopping in low-maintenance homes, with features like HEPA filtration and auto mop lifting. Roomba Max 705 fits premium pet households, large homes, and smart ecosystems, excelling in vacuum-focused cleaning. Choose 3i for mopping-heavy use; Roomba for expansive dry cleaning.

Priced at USD 700-1100, the 3i P10 Ultra offers extensive features like self-washing mops and high suction for better value in multi-function cleaning. The Roomba Max 705 at USD 1100-1200 justifies its cost through brand reliability and app maturity but lacks mopping. The 3i provides stronger value for budget-conscious buyers needing versatility.

The 3i P10 Ultra manages pet hair effectively with 18,000 Pa suction, HEPA filter trapping 0.3-micron particles, and extendable mopping for paw-print cleanup. Roomba Max 705 uses dirt detection and PrecisionVision for targeted pet debris pickup in large spaces. For pet owners, the 3i P10 Ultra is the better choice due to its combined vacuum-mop performance and allergen filtration.

The 3i P10 Ultra covers more area with 200-minute runtime and multi-floor mapping, plus efficient navigation for expansive layouts. Roomba Max 705 handles large homes well via SLAM and AI vision but may need more recharges without extended runtime specs. The Roomba Max 705 edges out for large homes relying on proven iRobot mapping reliability.
