Dreame D30 Ultra CE vs iRobot Roomba Plus 505

Full Robot Vacuums comparison in 2026

Updated August 2026
Data from Amazon and official Dreame and iRobot sites.
2026 verdict
Suction is not close in this pairing: the Dreame D30 Ultra CE pulls far more than the iRobot Roomba Plus 505, and it also typically costs less, runs longer per charge, and carries a three-year warranty against one year. The iRobot Roomba Plus 505 answers with broader integrations, reaching Apple HomeKit, Samsung SmartThings and Matter alongside Google Home and Alexa, plus 5GHz Wi-Fi that the Dreame D30 Ultra CE lacks. Both robots use LiDAR mapping with a self-emptying dock that washes and dries the mop pads automatically. For buyers who want real cleaning power and a longer warranty at a lower price, the Dreame D30 Ultra CE wins; those who need Apple Home or SmartThings compatibility should consider the iRobot Roomba Plus 505 despite its weaker suction.
