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 | eufy Robot Vacuum Aut… | Roomba Plus 415 Combo |
|---|---|---|
| Home size | ||
| Under 1,500 sqft | GoodPoint-laser/infrared navigation covers roughly 904 sq ft per charge in testing, comfortably completing compact home layouts in one run. | GoodSlim chassis and AutoWash Dock automation deliver low-maintenance coverage comfortably within homes this size. |
| 1,500 – 3,000 | DependsNo documented recharge-and-resume; independent testing measured about 904 sq ft per charge, likely requiring more than one run. | DependsiRobot publishes no per-charge runtime or coverage figures, leaving how far one charge reaches at this size unconfirmed. |
| Over 3,000 | DependsAt roughly 904 sq ft tested per charge with no recharge-and-resume documented, full coverage here needs several separate runs. | DependsNo published runtime, coverage or recharge-resume figures for homes this large; treat coverage here as an open question, not a confirmed limit. |
| Primary floors | ||
| Hard floors | GoodIndependent testing measured carpet extraction specifically; hard-floor pickup wasn't separately tested, and suction/airflow bench scores rated below average. | Good20,000 Pa suction and DualClean spinning mop pads are documented for hard-floor cleaning in manufacturer and retail listings. |
| Low / medium pile | GoodIndependent testing measured 86% sand extraction and 100% flattened pet-hair pickup, despite below-average suction and airflow bench scores. | GoodManufacturer and retail specifications document carpet operation alongside hard floors, covering low-pile carpet within that claim. |
| High pile / shagthey differ | PoorReviewer reports document real difficulty on thick carpet over roughly 25mm, plus below-average suction and airflow bench scores. | Depends20,000 Pa is the lowest suction figure in iRobot's current AutoWash Dock lineup, and no independent test confirms thick-pile performance. |
| 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. |
| You want to… | ||
| Empty bin myself | GoodThe bagged dock empties itself roughly every 60 days; manual bin emptying is optional, not the primary design here. | GoodThe AutoWash Dock still empties and self-cleans automatically even for owners willing to handle more maintenance by hand. |
| Empty occasionally | GoodBagged auto-empty dock is rated for about 60 days between changes, matching occasional hands-on involvement well. | GoodAutomated dock upkeep for emptying and mop washing pairs with occasional manual bag and pad replacement, suiting mixed involvement. |
| Set-and-forgetthey differ | DependsIndependent testing found no dedicated obstacle-avoidance sensor, so cords and small objects must be cleared before every run. | GoodAutoWash Dock empties, washes and heat-dries mop pads automatically for up to three months of hands-free operation, per manufacturer specs. |
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: Runtime, Charge time, Noise.
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 slim 2.85in body and point-laser/infrared navigation keep the design low-profile and the price low, but independent testing found this comes without a dedicated obstacle-avoidance sensor.
Bagged auto-empty at the dock reduces manual dust disposal to roughly every 60 days, but the robot itself remains vacuum-only with no mopping option.
Water-only pad washing skips a chemical cartridge to refill, and skips the deeper stain-lift a detergent wash cycle adds elsewhere in iRobot’s lineup.
No published per-charge runtime: buyers get a 330-minute charge time and no way to know how long one cleaning session actually lasts.
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.
