Data from the official Ecovacs and iRobot sites.
2026 verdict
A mid-premium robot vacuum with a real self-washing dock is the better buy here, and that is the Ecovacs DEEBOT T80S Omni.
It out-suctions the iRobot Roomba Combo 10 Max robot + AutoWash dock, runs longer, and carries the higher owner rating while asking less, so it gives up little while covering the same ecosystems. The iRobot Roomba Combo 10 Max robot + AutoWash dock still leads on connectivity, with both 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz Wi-Fi, and it carries a slightly larger onboard bin. Pick the Ecovacs DEEBOT T80S Omni for stronger cleaning, better battery life and better value, and the iRobot Roomba Combo 10 Max robot + AutoWash dock only if its dual-band Wi-Fi and broad platform list decide it for you.

What the differences mean
Wi-Fi and smart home
The iRobot Roomba Combo 10 Max robot + AutoWash dock adds both 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz Wi-Fi, where the Ecovacs DEEBOT T80S Omni stays on 2.4 GHz. Both reach Apple Home, SmartThings and Home Assistant through Matter, and both cover Alexa and Google Home.
Suction
The Ecovacs DEEBOT T80S Omni is rated at 24,800 Pa with carpet cleaning and a 236-minute run, and it is the one of the two with a published pascal figure to lean on for carpet and pet hair.
Battery
The Ecovacs DEEBOT T80S Omni runs up to 236 minutes, longer than the iRobot, so it covers more floor before returning to recharge.
Onboard bin
The iRobot Roomba Combo 10 Max robot + AutoWash dock carries a 300 ml onboard bin against 220 ml on the Ecovacs DEEBOT T80S Omni, though both self-empty into their docks.
Mop
Both wash and dry their mop, but the Ecovacs DEEBOT T80S Omni uses a roller washed with 75°C hot water, while the iRobot washes and dries a retracting pad.
Value
The Ecovacs DEEBOT T80S Omni is the more affordable of the two and carries the higher owner rating, so it is the safer buy on both counts.

What owners say
Owners of the two agree that a self-washing dock is the whole point, and both groups say the mop pads come back clean. Ecovacs DEEBOT T80S Omni owners describe a dramatic step up from older bump-and-run robots, crediting the hot-water roller wash, the suction and the quiet running, with the app's map editing the usual complaint. iRobot Roomba Combo 10 Max robot + AutoWash dock owners praise the mapping and the AutoWash routine when the machine behaves, but a large share report failures after weeks or months, unfinished jobs, a robot that cannot find its dock and dirty-water errors, and they describe support as slow. That reliability split is the sharpest difference in what the two owner groups report.
