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.
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.

Not compared, because fewer than two of these robots carry a published figure: Runtime.
What the numbers leave out.
The trade-off
What each design gives up to be good at what it is good at.
Mopping is a module, not a mode: a water tank with a cloth on its underside clips into the base of the robot for a mopping run and comes back out afterward. There is no lift mechanism and nothing to fail, and equally nothing to stop the cloth crossing a rug if the No-Mop zone has not been set.
No dock automation at all: the base charges and does nothing else. The bin is emptied by hand, the tank is filled by hand and the cloth is rinsed by hand, which is the trade for a base with no wash tray, no bag and no plumbing.
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.
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.
- High-pile or thick carpet
- Deep pile is where the suction figure stops translating, and mopping is not an option on carpet at all: eufy's manual says not to use mopping mode on a carpeted floor and to set a No-Mop zone.
- Multi-pet households with heavy shedding
- The mopping cloth loads up quickly on a high-shedding route and has to be rinsed and dried by hand after every run, with no dock automation to absorb any of it.
- 5 GHz Wi-Fi only networks
- Unit supports 2.4 GHz band only; dual-band router required. Many modern office/apartment networks phase out 2.4 GHz.
- 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.
What stays your job
The upkeep ownership hands back to you, whatever the autonomy level says.
- After every use: Empty dustbin manually; no auto-empty dock on this model.
- Weekly: Mop pad inspection for matting; manual rinse if heavily soiled.
- Monthly: Mop pad replacement (~$15 per pair) after 100-150 uses.
- Monthly: Side brush bristle check for fiber wrap; replace annually (~$8).
- Every 3-6 months: Filter replacement; HEPA type (~$12 per filter).
- As needed: Dustbin sensor window cleaning if false-full errors appear.
- 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.
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.
