Side-by-Side Comparison
| Spec | eufy Robot Vacuum Omni S2 | iRobot Roomba 105 Combo Robot + AutoEmpty Dock |
|---|---|---|
| Price | $1399.99 | $269.99 |
| Release Year | 2026 | 2025 |
| Claimed Suction (Pa) | 30,000 Pa — the biggest claim on this page, and up from 8,000 Pa on the eufy Omni S1 it replaces. Vacuum Wars still scores its mopping about 20% below average, which is the whole argument against reading Pascals as a ranking | iRobot publishes no Pascal figure for any Roomba. Its claim is '70x more' power-lifting suction than a Roomba 600 — a ratio against a 2013 robot, not a number you can line up against the 5,300-30,000 Pa claims elsewhere on this page |
| Independent Test Result | Vacuum Wars ranked it #3 overall in their 2026 Top 20 with a perfect 24/24 obstacle score and 87% carpet sand removal against 61% for the S1 — but its dried-stain mopping score of 82 points is about 20% below average, and they measured slower navigation than the S1 | No independent bench result published. It is too new and too cheap to appear in Vacuum Wars' Top 20 or RTINGS' tested rankings; everything here is iRobot's own claim |
| Navigation & Obstacle Avoidance | 3D MatrixEye 2.0 — computer vision plus structured light recognising 200+ household objects. Perfect 24/24 in Vacuum Wars' obstacle course, matching the Roborock Saros 10R | ClearView LiDAR mapping with neat-row cleaning and automatic carpet detection. No camera and no AI object recognition — it maps the room but cannot identify what is lying on the floor |
| What the Maker Promises About Pet Waste | eufy markets pet-waste recognition as part of MatrixEye's 200+ object library but publishes no replacement guarantee | None. iRobot's P.O.O.P. Promise — replace the robot free if it fails to avoid solid dog or cat waste, 1 year from purchase, replacement product only — is written on iRobot's US page against the camera-equipped Roomba j7+, not this LiDAR-only model |
| Mop System | HyperStream 2.0 roller mop at 240 rpm with 15 N down-pressure, washed continuously during the run | Single microfibre pad fed by a micro-pump. A damp pad dragged behind the robot |
| Mop Lift Over Carpet (mm) | 28 mm (1.10 in) on carpet detection — nearly three times the ECOVACS X11's 10 mm and the only lift here that clears a thick pile rug | None. The pad does not lift or retract; iRobot's stated behaviour is 'avoids mopping carpet', meaning it drives around your rugs instead of over them |
| Dock Type & Plumbing | Self-empty, hot-water mop wash, hot-air dry, water electrolysis and auto detergent dosing. A separate Auto Refill & Drainage version plumbs into a supply and drain; the standard dock does not | AutoEmpty dock — debris only. No water, no mop washing, no plumbing |
| Dock Mop Wash & Dry | 140°F (60°C) heated wash — TechRadar reports 70°C — then 131°F (55°C) hot-air drying, with built-in water electrolysis (Eco-Clean ozone) and automatic detergent dosing. Sources conflict on the wash temperature; eufy quotes both. The dirty-water tank is still emptied by hand | None. You rinse the mop pad yourself; one spare pad is in the box |
| Dock Bags & Running Cost | 2.5 L bag with a 68-day rating, so roughly 5-6 bags a year. TechRadar describes the base as taking generic 2.5 L dust bags rather than a locked proprietary part, which if it holds is a meaningful saving over Roborock and iRobot. Add detergent and fragrance capsules, which are eufy-branded consumables | Proprietary iRobot dirt-disposal bags rated at 75 days. iRobot's own 3-pack for AutoEmpty/AutoWash docks (part 4849916) is $19.99 — about $6.66 a bag, so roughly $32 a year in bags alone. The older Clean Base 3-pack (4640235) is $11.17 at Home Depot but is a different part that does not fit |
| Robot Bin Capacity (ml) | 330 ml | Not published by iRobot for the 105 Combo; the bin shares the chassis with the mopping solution tank |
| Rated Runtime (and at what setting) (min) | Up to 180 minutes across four modes (Quiet, Standard, Turbo, Max) — eufy's figure is the quiet mode. Vacuum Wars measured slower navigation efficiency than the cheaper S1 it replaces | Not published by iRobot for this model |
| Account, Cloud & Camera Privacy | eufy account required and maps are cloud-synced. Camera on board with remote viewing. eufy is the brand that marketed local-only storage on its security cameras and was then caught uploading footage to the cloud unencrypted, and privacy write-ups note eufy's policy allows sharing personal identifiers with advertising partners — hold its privacy marketing to a higher burden of proof than most | iRobot account and the iRobot Home app are required, and maps are cloud-stored with deletion available on request. No camera on this model. iRobot filed Chapter 11 on 14 December 2025 and was bought by Picea, its Chinese manufacturing partner and secured lender; iRobot says apps, warranties and support continue and the 2026 line is in production |

Carpet Cleaning

Running Cost
The eufy Robot Vacuum Omni S2 leads clearly here, 6.5 against 5.0 — a 1.5-point margin on the trap dimension.

Privacy & Control
The iRobot Roomba 105 Combo Robot + AutoEmpty Dock leads clearly here, 5.0 against 3.5 — a 1.5-point margin on whether an account and cloud are required, where the maps live, whether there is a camera and where its frames are processed, and the brand's actual privacy and security record..

Value
The iRobot Roomba 105 Combo Robot + AutoEmpty Dock leads clearly here, 7.0 against 5.5 — a 1.5-point margin on tested cleaning performance and dock automation against the real street price and the year-one consumables bill..

Pros & Cons
eufy Robot Vacuum Omni S2
Pros
- +28 mm mop lift is in a different league — this is the one robot here you can run on a plush rug without wetting it
- +Perfect 24/24 obstacle score and 87% carpet sand removal, both at the top of Vacuum Wars' 2026 rankings
- +42 mm threshold clearance handles doorway transitions that stop most of this field
- +Fully automated dock: electrolysed water, auto detergent dosing, hot wash and hot dry
Cons
- −The 30,000 Pa headline is the largest claim here and Vacuum Wars scores its mopping about 20% below average — the clearest single proof that Pascals do not predict cleaning
- −$1,399.99 makes it the most expensive robot on this page, and the $699 ECOVACS X11 mops far better
- −eufy's own wash-temperature claim varies between 60°C and 70°C depending on where you look
- −eufy's privacy record is the weakest here: it was caught uploading security-camera footage after marketing local-only storage
- −Vacuum Wars found navigation efficiency slower than the cheaper S1 and threshold climbing inconsistent above 32 mm
iRobot Roomba 105 Combo Robot + AutoEmpty Dock
Pros
- +The cheapest Roomba with genuine LiDAR mapping and a self-empty base, and iRobot's app is still the easiest here to live with
- +No camera at all, which is the simplest possible answer to the robot-vacuum privacy question
- +75-day bag rating is the longest of the budget docks here
- +US service network and a 60-day-trial retail culture that the direct-import brands cannot match
Cons
- −The mop pad does not lift — iRobot's carpet strategy is to avoid carpet entirely on mop runs
- −iRobot has never published a Pascal figure or a runtime for this model, so it cannot be compared on paper with anything else here
- −The P.O.O.P. pet-waste guarantee does not cover it; with no camera the robot physically cannot see waste
- −Proprietary bags at roughly $6.66 each, about $32/yr, against $0 for the bagless Shark and Ecovacs docks
- −iRobot is trading through a Chapter 11 restructuring completed in 2026 under new Chinese ownership — long-term app and parts support is a live question, not a settled one
