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 | Eureka J15 Pro Ultra | Deebot T30 Pro Omni |
|---|---|---|
| Home size | ||
| Under 1,500 sqft | GoodLiDAR coverage is robust but overkill for compact homes; a standard Level III model does the same job for $500+ less. | Good180-minute runtime covers under 1,500 sqft in one pass; standard mode sufficient. |
| 1,500 – 3,000 | GoodMulti-room LiDAR mapping shines in 1,500–3,000 sqft homes; scheduled multi-room sequences run unattended. | GoodTypical range for this model; multi-room scheduling handles splits across two floors efficiently. |
| Over 3,000they differ | GoodExtended runtime (180 min) covers 4,000+ sqft in a single pass; LiDAR navigates sprawling layouts systematically. | DependsDeep cleans on 3,000+ sqft single floors require mid-session recharge; extends total time to 3-4 hours. |
| Primary floors | ||
| Hard floors | GoodSealed hard floors are ideal; IntelliView wet-floor detection prevents mopping damage on wood or tile. | GoodConsistent vacuum performance across sealed hardwood and tile; mopping results good on hard floors. |
| Low / medium pile | GoodSuction rated for low-pile carpet; LiDAR handles transitions between hard and carpet seamlessly. | GoodVacuum and mopping both perform well on low-pile carpet per owner reports. |
| High pile / shagthey differ | PoorOwner reports document suction loss and increased motor load on high-pile and shag carpets; not recommended. | DependsVacuum handles high-pile; mopping performance degrades significantly and owner reports show suction loss. |
| Mopping needs | ||
| Vacuum only | GoodStrong vacuum; the mop lifts or detaches when not needed. | GoodStrong vacuum; the mop lifts or detaches when not needed. |
| Light mopping | GoodActive mopping system covers routine floors easily. | GoodActive mopping system covers routine floors easily. |
| Frequent mopping | GoodPressure or rotating mop with self-wash is built for frequent mopping. | GoodPressure or rotating mop with self-wash is built for frequent mopping. |

| Empty bin myself | GoodDock auto-wash and heated dry assume weekly dock maintenance (water refill, nozzle cleaning); not minimal-touch. | GoodWeekly dustbin/mop tank emptying and monthly pad swaps required; not fully hands-off. |
| Empty occasionally | GoodSelf-emptying + dock wash fit 'mixed' homes; weekly dock checks replace daily dust bin emptying. | GoodDock automation handles mop cleaning and air drying; weekly bin empty is all that is required for basic operation. |
| Set-and-forgetthey differ | DependsAuto-empty and self-wash require weekly water refill and monthly nozzle cleaning; not true hands-off. | PoorWeekly maintenance (dustbin empty, water refill) required; not a fully hands-off system. |
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: Weight.
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.
IntelliView cleans the liquid spills it recognizes, but detection is camera-based: transparent liquids on reflective floors are the hard case, and the infrared approach to them arrived on the later J15 Max Ultra.
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.
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.
