01 Classification
What each one does on its own.
The Autonomy Ladder is the same five rungs for every robot on the site. A rung describes the conditions a robot handles without you, not how good it is.
V
Generalized
Any task, any setting
IV
Environmental
Handles new obstacles without help
III
Conditional
Finishes familiar jobs on its own

02 Assessment
Where they actually differ.
The Robovations Score is nine inputs across three pillars, each weighted as shown and each scored so that more is better. A robot can lead on one and trail on another, which is the point of showing them apart. Cost of ownership and data handling are reported on each robot's own page and are never averaged into the score.

03 Measured against the class
How far apart is a long way?
A number only means something next to the spread it sits in. Each track below is the real range across every classified robot in the class, with the median marked.

04 Ownership
What the numbers leave out.
The trade-off
What each design gives up to be good at what it is good at.
Anker Eufy RoboVac L70 Hybrid
Mopping is a module, not a mode: a water tank with a cloth on its underside clips into the base of the robot for a mopping run and comes back out afterward. There is no lift mechanism and nothing to fail, and equally nothing to stop the cloth crossing a rug if the No-Mop zone has not been set.
No dock automation at all: the base charges and does nothing else. The bin is emptied by hand, the tank is filled by hand and the cloth is rinsed by hand, which is the trade for a base with no wash tray, no bag and no plumbing.
iRobot Roomba Plus 515 Combo
The dock takes over water, pads and debris for up to three months, but it stands far taller than the 3.29 in robot it serves and needs a fixed spot with power.
Suction is sold only as 3x the Plus 505, a relative claim with no pascal figure on iRobot’s own page.
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.
Anker Eufy RoboVac L70 Hybrid
- High-pile or thick carpet
- Deep pile is where the suction figure stops translating, and mopping is not an option on carpet at all: eufy's manual says not to use mopping mode on a carpeted floor and to set a No-Mop zone.
- Multi-pet households with heavy shedding
- The mopping cloth loads up quickly on a high-shedding route and has to be rinsed and dried by hand after every run, with no dock automation to absorb any of it.
- 5 GHz Wi-Fi only networks
- Unit supports 2.4 GHz band only; dual-band router required. Many modern office/apartment networks phase out 2.4 GHz.
iRobot Roomba Plus 515 Combo
- Large homes beyond 2,000 square feet per run
- iRobot rates coverage at 2,000 sq ft per charge and has not documented recharge-and-resume behavior for larger floor plans on this model.
- Deep or high-pile carpet
- Pads lift only 10 mm on carpet detection, and no independent carpet test of this model has been published to show how it handles dense pile.
- Buyers who want detergent dosed automatically
- The dock does not add cleaning solution itself; iRobot directs owners to add a compatible solution to the tank by hand.
- Buyers waiting for independent performance testing
- Launch coverage from Vacuum Wars and Reviewed contains no test results, so every suction, runtime and coverage figure today is iRobot's own.
What stays your job
The upkeep ownership hands back to you, whatever the autonomy level says.
Anker Eufy RoboVac L70 Hybrid
- After every use: Empty dustbin manually; no auto-empty dock on this model.
- Weekly: Mop pad inspection for matting; manual rinse if heavily soiled.
- Monthly: Mop pad replacement (~$15 per pair) after 100-150 uses.
- Monthly: Side brush bristle check for fiber wrap; replace annually (~$8).
- Every 3-6 months: Filter replacement; HEPA type (~$12 per filter).
- As needed: Dustbin sensor window cleaning if false-full errors appear.
iRobot Roomba Plus 515 Combo
- Every 3-6 months: Empty the dock’s debris storage and dirty-water tank, and refill clean water, per iRobot’s up-to-three-month rating.
- As needed: Add a compatible cleaning solution to the tank by hand; the dock does not dose it.
- Weekly: Check the rubber and bristle main brush and side brush for hair.
- Monthly: Wipe the LiDAR window, cliff sensors and charging contacts.
- As needed: Replace DualClean pads, filters and brushes from iRobot’s Plus 515 accessory series as they wear.
05 Evidence
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.
