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

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.

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.
iRobot Roomba 105 Vac
Vacuum-only eliminates dock complexity, but it also eliminates mopping and self-emptying; the $249.99 entry price buys a machine you would replace with a costlier combo if hybrid cleaning ever becomes desirable.
Yeedi C14 Pro Plus
Dust is automated for 45 days; water is automated for zero.
Because the pad never lifts, carpet protection depends on carpet detection and no-mop zones working every run, and no independent test has checked either yet.
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 105 Vac
- Multi-floor homes without per-floor dock setup
- Single dock location. Multi-floor operation requires manual dock relocation or purchasing additional units per floor.
- Owners combining vacuuming and mopping in one unit
- Vacuum-only design excludes mop capability. Separate mopping appliance or robot needed.
- Households with pets and high-shedding carpets
- No self-emptying dock. High-shedding environments require more frequent manual bin emptying (weekly or bi-weekly).
Yeedi C14 Pro Plus
- Owners who want the mop pad handled without touching it
- Vacuum Wars lists no mop washing, drying or hot-water washing. The pad comes off and gets washed by hand after mopping runs.
- Networks without a 2.4GHz band available
- The robot connects over 2.4GHz Wi-Fi only. A 5GHz-only router, or a mesh that hides the 2.4GHz band, blocks setup.
- Matter-based smart homes
- Matter Alpha notes the C14 PRO PLUS is the one model in Yeedi's 2026 Prime Day lineup without Matter support, and Vacuum Wars confirms it.
- Kitchens needing scrubbing of sticky or dried spills
- A flat, non-rotating pad on a 300 mL tank with no detergent dispensing wipes; it does not scrub set-in residue.
- Buyers who need a published runtime before committing
- Yeedi has published no battery capacity, runtime or charge time for this model, so single-charge coverage of a large home is unknown.
What stays your job
The upkeep ownership hands back to you, whatever the autonomy level says.
iRobot Roomba 105 Vac
- Weekly: Brush hair removal and visual inspection on pet homes.
- Monthly: Dust bin rinse and LiDAR dome wipe with microfiber cloth.
- Every 3-6 months: Main brush replacement (estimate $15-25 per brush).
- Annually: Filter replacement and dust-bin seal rinse or swap.
Yeedi C14 Pro Plus
- As needed: Empty the dock’s bagless 1.5 L bin, rated to hold up to 45 days of debris; no dust bags to buy.
- After every use: Remove and hand-wash the flat OZMO mop pad after mopping runs, since the dock neither washes nor dries it.
- As needed: Fill the robot’s 300 mL onboard water tank before each mopping run.
- Monthly: Check the anti-tangle main brush and side brush for wrapped hair.
- Monthly: Rinse the dock bin and clean the robot’s filter; Yeedi has published no replacement interval for this model.
- As needed: Wipe dust from the LiDAR turret to keep mapping consistent.
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.
