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

II
Assisted
Runs preset routines, needs rescue
I
Manual
One action, on command
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.

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.
iRobot Roomba Plus 415 Combo
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.
Yeedi M14 Plus
The sensors that make obstacle recognition work are a camera and a light in your home: the M14 Plus carries a camera, an LED illuminator and a 3D structured light projector alongside its dToF lidar, and the LED lights the room so the camera can see during runs in the dark.
The station does the mop maintenance, and it is a lot of machine to own: washing the OZMO Roller in 167 F water and hot-air drying it after every run removes the pad chores entirely, at the cost of a station with a water heater, two tanks to fill and empty by hand, and a disposable bag to replace.
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.
iRobot Roomba Plus 415 Combo
- Households needing a documented per-charge runtime figure
- iRobot has not published a per-charge runtime figure for this model, only a 330-minute charge time for the 5200mAh battery, leaving coverage-per-charge unconfirmed for buyers who need that number before deciding.
- Owners wanting automatic detergent dispensing at the dock
- The AutoWash Dock washes and heat-dries the DualClean mop pads with water only; buyers wanting an automatic cleaning-solution cycle for dried-on messes need a different dock tier.
- Buyers prioritizing the strongest suction in iRobot's combo lineup
- At 20,000 Pa, this model is the entry point among iRobot's current AutoWash Dock combos; buyers wanting the strongest suction in that lineup should compare other current models.
- Thick, deep-pile carpet homes
- No independent test of thick-pile performance was found, and 20,000 Pa is the lowest published suction figure among iRobot's current wash-dock combo models, so performance on heavy shag or high-pile rugs remains unverified.
- Buyers requiring a multi-year ownership track record
- The Plus 415 Combo launched summer 2026 with no independent hands-on reviews published yet; owners wanting years of documented field reliability should wait or choose a longer-tenured model.
Yeedi M14 Plus
- Homes where a camera-equipped robot is not wanted
- Obstacle recognition on the M14 Plus works from a camera, an LED illuminator and a 3D structured light projector alongside the lidar. The LED lights the room so the camera can see during runs in the dark.
- Owners expecting a plumbed-in station
- The OMNI Station is filled and emptied by hand. It washes the OZMO Roller from its own clean water tank and collects the used water in a dirty tank, and it empties the robot into a 3 L disposable bag that is replaced rather than emptied.
- Multi-floor homes where carrying the robot is impractical
- Maps for several floors are stored, but the station lives on one level and the robot has to be carried to the others and back to dock, empty and wash.
What stays your job
The upkeep ownership hands back to you, whatever the autonomy level says.
iRobot Roomba Plus 415 Combo
- Weekly: Wipe the LiDAR turret and check the roller for hair wrap.
- Monthly: Inspect the edge-sweeping brush for wear and clean the AutoWash Dock’s wash chamber.
- Every 3-6 months: Replace the DualClean mop pads if worn (one pair included in box).
- Every 3-6 months: Replace the dirt disposal bag as it fills (2 bags included in box).
- Annually: Check dock water lines and hose connections for mineral buildup.
- As needed: Empty and rinse the dock’s clean-water tank between wash cycles during heavy use.
Yeedi M14 Plus
- Weekly: Fill the clean water tank and empty the dirty water tank; check the OZMO Roller and the side brush for wound hair.
- Every 2-3 weeks: Wipe the lidar window and the camera lens with a soft dry cloth.
- Monthly: Clear the station’s wash tray, and check the dust bag. The station takes a 3 L disposable bag, which is replaced rather than emptied.
- Every 3-6 months: Clean the robot’s filter and check the water valve for mineral buildup.
- Annually: Replace the OZMO Roller and the side brush if worn, and the filter if it no longer clears by tapping.
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.
