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.
The conditions each robot was assessed against, side by side. Rows marked in gold are where these machines genuinely differ.
| Condition | Deebot T30 Pro Omni | Roomba Combo j7+ |
|---|---|---|
| Home size | ||
| Under 1,500 sqft | Good180-minute runtime covers under 1,500 sqft in one pass; standard mode sufficient. | Good90-minute runtime covers single-level small homes in one pass with capacity to spare. |
| 1,500 – 3,000 | GoodTypical range for this model; multi-room scheduling handles splits across two floors efficiently. | GoodEffective coverage for typical two-story homes; schedule separate sessions for upper floors if needed. |
| Over 3,000 | DependsDeep cleans on 3,000+ sqft single floors require mid-session recharge; extends total time to 3-4 hours. | DependsRequires multi-session scheduling or room-by-room segmentation; not ideal for sprawling open-floor plans. |
| Primary floors | ||
| Hard floors | GoodConsistent vacuum performance across sealed hardwood and tile; mopping results good on hard floors. | GoodMop arm and vacuum clean hard floors together; the 210 mL onboard tank needs refilling mid-run in larger spaces. |
| Low / medium pile | GoodVacuum and mopping both perform well on low-pile carpet per owner reports. | GoodMop arm retracts automatically over carpet and rugs; owner reports confirm no dragging or wet marks. |
| High pile / shagthey differ | DependsVacuum handles high-pile; mopping performance degrades significantly and owner reports show suction loss. | PoorOwner reports document suction loss on shag and deeply matted carpet; the mop arm can't fix weak pickup. |
| Mopping needs | ||
| Vacuum only | GoodStrong vacuum; the mop lifts or detaches when not needed. | GoodVacuums first; the mop pad is optional. |
| Light mopping | GoodActive mopping system covers routine floors easily. | GoodFlat mop pad handles light, routine wiping of hard floors. |
| Frequent moppingthey differ | GoodPressure or rotating mop with self-wash is built for frequent mopping. | DependsA dragged pad freshens floors but lacks the pressure or scrubbing for heavy, frequent mopping. |
| You want to… | ||
| Empty bin myselfthey differ | GoodWeekly dustbin/mop tank emptying and monthly pad swaps required; not fully hands-off. | DependsClean Base auto-empties into a disposal bag every 30-60 days; hands-on owners get automation, not manual control. |
| Empty occasionallythey differ | GoodDock automation handles mop cleaning and air drying; weekly bin empty is all that is required for basic operation. | DependsThe Clean Base bag lasts 30-60 days, but the mop pad and tank need hand attention every 2-3 uses, more than occasional. |
| Set-and-forgetthey differ | PoorWeekly maintenance (dustbin empty, water refill) required; not a fully hands-off system. | DependsVacuuming stays near hands-off via Clean Base, but the mop pad needs hand-washing and tank refills every 2-3 uses. |
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.
Nine inputs across three pillars, each weighted as shown and each scored so more is better. A robot can lead on one and trail on another, which is the point of showing them apart.
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.
Not compared, because fewer than two of these robots carry a published figure: Suction.
Written on each record, and the only thing here every robot on the site carries.
What each design gives up to be good at what it is good at.
The dock eliminates manual mop rinsing, but introduces a 20-30 minute wash-and-dry cycle that conflicts with quiet household hours.
Ecovacs publishes up to 290 minutes in silent mode on hard floor, but that is a best case; raising suction toward the 11,000 Pa maximum shortens a charge substantially, and no runtime at that setting is published.
The automated dock adds convenience but brings its own upkeep, mop pads, dust bags and tank refills, that a budget vacuum does not carry.
Retractable arm is a mechanical win but mop-washing burden stays manual; the pad comes off the robot’s underside, gets washed by hand or replaced, and goes back on, which eats into the hands-off claim.
vSLAM camera navigation is dependent on lighting and visual landmarks; dark rooms, reflective tile, and sparse spaces break mapping continuity compared to LiDAR platforms.
Stated by the record itself. A robot being wrong for a household is a fact about fit, not a fault.
The upkeep ownership hands back to you, whatever the autonomy level says.
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.
