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.
Eureka J15 Pro Ultra
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.
ROIDMI EVA
The dock is designed to self-empty and self-wash mop pads, but an independent review found the design under-delivered on both counts in practice, before the manufacturer’s closure removed any path to a fix.
Remaining retail inventory can still be found through some third-party channels, but buying it now means buying a robot with no manufacturer support of any kind.
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.
Eureka J15 Pro Ultra
- Renters or owners with limited dock space under kitchen cabinets
- Heated dock footprint is 20.5 × 21 inches; requires unobstructed power outlet and drainage. Not portable between homes.
- High-pile carpet homes or wool rugs
- Owner reports document reduced performance on plush and high-pile surfaces. Suction level and water volume are selectable in the Eureka app, and the robot raises power automatically when it detects carpet, so the constraint is not a missing power setting.
ROIDMI EVA
- Buyers wanting any form of manufacturer support
- Roidmi has ceased operations and discontinued product maintenance, returns, and after-sales service.
- Large homes needing a single uninterrupted cleaning run
- An independent review found the dustbin fills too fast to complete a full-floor clean without manual emptying.
- Buyers relying on the dock to fully dry mop pads unattended
- The same independent review found pads remained damp more than 12 hours after the drying cycle.
What stays your job
The upkeep ownership hands back to you, whatever the autonomy level says.
Eureka J15 Pro Ultra
- Daily: Empty dock dust bin when full (indicator light shows capacity).
- Weekly: Refill dock water tank (~2 liters) and inspect mop pads for debris.
- Monthly: Clean dock wash nozzles with provided brush; run maintenance cycle.
- Every 6-12 months: Replace FlexiRazor brush inserts (~$30-40 per pair).
- Every 12 months: Replace main filter in self-emptying base (~$25).
ROIDMI EVA
- Cadence: Empty the dust bag roughly every 60 days, per manufacturer specification.
- Water tanks: Refill and empty the dock’s dual clean/dirty water tanks.
- Mop pad drying: An independent review found pads remained damp more than 12 hours after the dock’s drying cycle, which in practice may require manual intervention.
- Setup: Define no-go and no-mop zones in the app.
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.
