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.
Ecovacs Deebot T30 Pro Omni
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.
Xiaomi Robot Vacuum 6 Pro
A 90 mm body reaches under low furniture, and the LiDAR has to retract to get there.
Running-water roller mopping is the headline; no independent test has yet shown how it handles rugs and edges.
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.
Ecovacs Deebot T30 Pro Omni
- Buyers who will not accept a networked camera in the home
- The robot carries a camera and depends on the Ecovacs cloud, and no fully local mode is documented. Ecovacs has a documented security incident history across the Deebot line, including a 2024 DEF CON demonstration of Bluetooth takeover and a subsequent CISA advisory covering Deebot vacuums and base stations.
- Homes requiring silent daytime operation
- Dock wash cycles run 20-30 minutes at 60-70 dB after mop sessions. Owner reports note scheduling conflicts in work-from-home environments.
- Buyers requiring offline or local-only operation
- All advanced features depend on Ecovacs cloud servers. No documented local-only scheduling or mapping mode. Cloud connectivity is required for routine operation.
- Single-floor homes exceeding 3,000 sq ft
- Ecovacs publishes up to 290 minutes in silent mode on hard floor, which is a best case; higher suction modes draw that down, so very large floors take a mid-session recharge and a longer total elapsed time.
Xiaomi Robot Vacuum 6 Pro
- Buyers in the US or Europe who want local retail
- Only the China model is on sale; Xiaomi lists the global PV21GL, but no European or US launch date or price exists yet.
- Buyers who want independent cleaning results first
- Coverage so far is launch news and brief influencer posts; no outlet has published a test of the global model.
- Households uneasy with an in-home camera feed
- An HD AI camera can stream video to the Xiaomi Home app for remote viewing, per Xiaomi.
- Owners who want a plumbed dock outside China
- The global package lists clean and dirty water tanks, which are filled and emptied by hand; a plumbed version is sold in China.
What stays your job
The upkeep ownership hands back to you, whatever the autonomy level says.

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.
