What the differences mean

Smart home reach

The iRobot Roomba 705X supports 5 GHz Wi-Fi and adds Apple Home, SmartThings and Matter to the Google Home, Alexa and Home Assistant both share. The Ecovacs DEEBOT T30S Combo has none of the three.

Battery and the handheld

The Ecovacs DEEBOT T30S Combo is rated for 200 minutes per charge against 120 on the iRobot Roomba 705X, and it bundles a cordless stick vacuum that docks and empties into the same base, which the Roomba does not have.

Suction

iRobot rates the Roomba 705X at 13000Pa and Ecovacs rates the T30S Combo at 11000Pa, a modest edge to the Roomba that both makers list as suited to mixed hard floors and carpet.

Detergent

The iRobot Roomba 705X dispenses cleaning solution automatically. The Ecovacs DEEBOT T30S Combo is detergent compatible but the solution is dosed by hand into the dock tank.

Water tank

The Ecovacs DEEBOT T30S Combo carries a 4 L clean water tank in its dock, so refills are less frequent than on the iRobot Roomba 705X, whose water tank capacity is not published.
