What the differences mean

Suction power

The iRobot Roomba Plus 515 Combo Robot + AutoWash Dock is rated at 22,000 Pa against 11,000 Pa for the Ecovacs DEEBOT T30S Combo. On hard floors both cope, but the iRobot pulls more embedded debris out of rugs and carpet.

The bundled handheld

The Ecovacs DEEBOT T30S Combo ships with a cordless handheld vacuum that docks into the same station and empties itself there, so stairs, upholstery and car interiors are covered. The iRobot Roomba Plus 515 Combo Robot + AutoWash Dock is a floor-only machine.

Body height

The iRobot Roomba Plus 515 Combo Robot + AutoWash Dock is 84 mm tall and slides under beds and low furniture. The Ecovacs DEEBOT T30S Combo carries a LiDAR turret that raises its highest point, so it will not fit under the lowest clearances.

Mopping

Both wash and dry their mops at the dock and lift the pads on carpet. The iRobot Roomba Plus 515 Combo Robot + AutoWash Dock mops with round pads that can snag on cords, while the Ecovacs DEEBOT T30S Combo uses a 4 L tank that keeps refills infrequent.

Smart home support

Both work with Alexa and Google Home, and neither supports Apple Home, SmartThings or Matter. The Ecovacs DEEBOT T30S Combo adds Home Assistant through the official Ecovacs integration, which the iRobot Roomba Plus 515 Combo Robot + AutoWash Dock does not document.

Which one to buy if

What owners say

iRobot Roomba Plus 515 Combo Robot + AutoWash Dock owners praise the vacuuming first, describing the suction as very good on wood, tile, vinyl and low rugs and calling pet hair pickup a recurring success. They like the accurate LiDAR map, the low 84 mm body that slips under beds, and a dock that empties the bin and washes and heat-dries the pads so they stay fresh. The app's room selection and no-go zones earn credit, and the pads lift on carpet. The complaints are 2.4 GHz-only Wi-Fi that complicates setup, mopping that is only decent with pads that can snag cords, a dirty water tank that needs frequent emptying, and a loud self-emptying cycle.
