Eufy C28 Omni · iRobot Roomba Plus 575 Combo

The mop system earns a top-ten third-party mopping benchmark; the obstacle avoidance that comes with it is mid-tier at best.

Dock automation is as thorough as any platform in this price segment, but the 4.35-inch robot body excludes it from furniture gaps where thinner flagships operate.

Compact footprint, compact suction: the 46% smaller chassis that fits under beds and sofas runs 25,000 Pa, below iRobot’s higher-suction combo tiers.

Runtime and weight go undocumented because iRobot has not published them, even though suction, dock temperatures and mop mechanics are all fully specified.

Seven weeks old: no independent reliability record exists yet.

Homes with heavy furniture clutter or low thresholds

iPath 2.0 avoided only 15 of 24 test obstacles in Vacuum Wars benchmarks, below premium competitors. The squared body also produced documented scratching on metal obstacles when reversing.

High-pile or thick rug households

Notebookcheck testing documented the C28 struggling to climb 25-26mm rug pile despite a 10.8mm mop lift. High-pile coverage is not confirmed in manufacturer specs.

Owners wanting the absolute strongest suction in class

At 15,000 Pa, suction is competitive but below the class ceiling: the Roborock Saros 10 is rated 22,000 Pa at a higher price point. Owners for whom peak suction is the deciding specification have higher-rated options.

Low-clearance furniture situations

At 4.35 inches (110mm) tall, the C28 is above average height for its class. Units with sub-3.5-inch clearance requirements will need a lower-profile model.

Homes larger than roughly 3,000 sqft on one level

iRobot has not published runtime, weight or recharge-and-resume specifics for this SKU, so single-charge coverage of large single-level layouts is unconfirmed.

Thick, high-pile or shag carpet needing deep-clean suction

25,000 Pa is iRobot's compact-tier suction, below its higher-suction AutoWash-dock combos; dense high-pile pickup is not independently documented for this model.

Buyers who need a proven multi-year reliability record before purchase

The 575 Combo launched 28 Jul 2026; no independent teardown, failure report or owner-forum thread yet exists to evaluate the dock or the robot itself.

Owners needing confirmed battery runtime before buying

iRobot has not published runtime, battery capacity or the robot's weight for this SKU, so per-charge coverage cannot be confirmed ahead of purchase.

Owners wanting truly zero-touch maintenance with no dock refills

The AutoWash Dock automates emptying, washing and drying, but its water reservoir and detergent supply still need periodic manual refills despite the documented months-long hands-off window.
