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.

Any task, any setting

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 T90 Pro Omni

The OZMO Roller 3.0 delivers near-record dried-stain scores, but the 250 ml dustbin means the robot interrupts longer sessions to self-empty, effectively capping single-pass coverage on large open floors.

Mini-ToF LiDAR navigation is reliable in open layouts; in cluttered spaces, the system avoids obstacles by skipping whole zones rather than routing around them.

iRobot Roomba Max 705 Vac

Peak suction trails the category leaders: iRobot publishes no Pascal figure for the 705 and rates it at 180 times the 600 series, while third-party figures put it near 13,000 Pa, roughly 5,500 to 17,000 Pa below current Roborock flagships depending on which one is meant. The 705 answers carpet with Carpet Boost, four suction levels and anti-tangle rubber brushes rather than with peak pressure.

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 T90 Pro Omni
Cluttered rooms with dense furniture and thin chair legs
This record carries no verified independent navigation testing for the T90 Pro Omni, so its behavior around thin chair legs and dense clutter is unconfirmed. In tightly furnished rooms, coverage should be treated as unknown rather than assumed.
Homes with primarily high-pile or thick shag carpet
Carpet deep-clean performance is not verified for this model in this record. The documented feature set centers on the OZMO Roller mop and the washing dock, and no independent deep-extraction measurement supports use on high-pile or shag carpet.
Owners with large dustbin needs who run infrequent cleaning sessions
The onboard dustbin is 250 ml, roughly 30% smaller than the category average, requiring frequent dock returns during long sessions. Auto-empty mitigates this if the dock is accessible mid-run.
Households that need a documented Matter or HomeKit path
Ecovacs' T90 Pro Omni specification page lists no Matter, HomeKit, Alexa or Google Home support. Its smart-home material covers the AGENT YIKO assistant and Y-SpeechAI voice control instead. Anyone depending on a particular standard should confirm with Ecovacs before buying.
iRobot Roomba Max 705 Vac
Homes that need mopping as well as vacuuming
This is the vacuum-only SKU and it does not mop. iRobot sells a Combo version of the same platform that does, and the two listings read almost identically, so the SKU is worth confirming before purchase.
Owners wanting mopping and vacuuming in one cycle
No mopping arm or tank. Requires separate unit or manual floor care. Adds operational complexity if kitchen / entryway spills are frequent.
Owners who do not want a consumable dock at all
The AutoEmpty dock is bagged. iRobot rates a bag at up to 75 days and the box includes one spare bag and one spare filter, after which bags run about $10 to $15 each. A bagless dock or a bin-only robot avoids that line item entirely.

What stays your job

The upkeep ownership hands back to you, whatever the autonomy level says.

Ecovacs Deebot T90 Pro Omni
  • After every use: Confirm Omni station completed auto-empty and mop wash cycle; check dirty water tank level.
  • Weekly: Rinse the dirty water tank and check roller mop for debris not cleared by auto-wash.
  • Monthly: Inspect and clean the filter net; wipe dock water inlet nozzles; check side brush for hair wrap.
  • Every 3-6 months: Replace the 2.5L auto-empty dust bag (90-day rated capacity); clean the dock propeller flush system.
  • Every 3-6 months: Replace the microfiber roller mop pad (cost undocumented at time of evaluation).
  • Annually: Replace the antibacterial filter; inspect ARClean side brush for wear.
  • As needed: Refill clean water tank (4L capacity) and cleaning solution cartridge.
iRobot Roomba Max 705 Vac
  • Weekly: Check the dual rubber brushes for hair wrap and clear the edge-sweeping brush.
  • Monthly: Clean or replace the robot’s filter; inspect the dock brush and charging contacts.
  • Up to every 75 days: Replace the AutoEmpty dock bag, which iRobot rates at up to 75 days. The box ships with a spare bag and a spare filter.
  • Annually: Clean the LiDAR window and the PrecisionVision camera, and inspect the dock mechanics.
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.
