What the differences mean

Suction

The Dreame L60 Ultra is rated at 35,000 Pa and the iRobot Roomba Plus 505 at 7,000 Pa. Suction ratings are not strictly comparable between brands, but a fivefold gap points to much more pull on carpet and embedded pet hair from the Dreame.

Smart home and Wi-Fi

The iRobot Roomba Plus 505 supports Apple Home, SmartThings, Home Assistant and Matter now and joins 5 GHz networks. The Dreame L60 Ultra is 2.4 GHz only and lists Apple Home, SmartThings and Matter as coming through an update.

Navigation and height

The iRobot Roomba Plus 505 uses LiDAR and is 106 mm tall, while the Dreame L60 Ultra uses a camera and is 82 mm tall. Choose the Dreame for low furniture, and the iRobot when the robot runs in the dark.

Detergent dispenser and charging

The Dreame L60 Ultra dispenses detergent automatically and recharges in 3.5 hours. The iRobot Roomba Plus 505 has no dispenser and takes 4.5 hours to charge.

Which one to buy if

What owners say

Owners of both robots value the washing dock, strong pet-hair pickup and scheduled runs that take floor care off their list. Dreame L60 Ultra owners add the slim body under couches, the automatic detergent dosing and mop lifting on carpet, but several report the camera-based navigation spinning or losing its bearings in the dark, inconsistent edges and weaker threshold climbing. iRobot Roomba Plus 505 owners lead with how fast and accurate the LiDAR mapping is, often a full floor in the first run, and with the dock rinsing the pads mid-cycle. Their complaints are that it runs louder than expected, especially during the dock's self-cleaning cycle, that some units develop bumper-stuck errors or trouble finding the dock after a few months and that warranty help is hard to get when bought from an unauthorised seller.

Price history compared

Every price change of both, in the same store, so the gap between the two lines is what one costs more than the other.
