2026 verdict
In a mixed-floor home that wants a real mop, the Ecovacs DEEBOT T90 Omni is the stronger robot vacuum of these two.
Its OZMO roller washes itself with water heated to 75C while it scrubs, the station then dries it with hot air and dispenses detergent, and the rated 260 minutes of runtime covers a large floor in one pass. The iRobot Roomba Max 715 Vac Robot + AutoEmpty Dock takes the other road: it is a vacuum-only machine with no mop at all, but it adds Matter, and with it Apple Home, SmartThings and Home Assistant, runs on either 2.4 GHz or 5 GHz Wi-Fi, and its compact AutoEmpty dock needs far less floor than the tall Ecovacs station. Pick the Ecovacs DEEBOT T90 Omni if mopping hard floors matters and the dock has room; pick the iRobot Roomba Max 715 Vac Robot + AutoEmpty Dock for a carpeted home or an Apple, SmartThings or Matter setup.

What the differences mean
Mopping
This is the split that decides most of these comparisons. The Ecovacs DEEBOT T90 Omni carries a self-washing OZMO roller that scrubs while it cleans and lifts 15 mm over carpet, while the iRobot Roomba Max 715 Vac Robot + AutoEmpty Dock has no mop, no water tank and no detergent support at all. If hard floors matter, the Ecovacs is the only one of the two that washes them.
Runtime
The Ecovacs DEEBOT T90 Omni is rated at 260 minutes per charge and the iRobot Roomba Max 715 Vac Robot + AutoEmpty Dock at 120 minutes. Both return to their docks and resume, but the Ecovacs finishes a large floor in one outing where the Roomba often needs a top-up.
Smart home platforms
The iRobot Roomba Max 715 Vac Robot + AutoEmpty Dock supports Matter, which brings Apple Home, SmartThings and Home Assistant in addition to Alexa and Google Home. The Ecovacs DEEBOT T90 Omni works with Alexa, Google Home and Home Assistant, the last through the official Ecovacs integration, but has no Apple Home, SmartThings or Matter path.
Wi-Fi and dock footprint
The iRobot Roomba Max 715 Vac Robot + AutoEmpty Dock connects on either 2.4 GHz or 5 GHz Wi-Fi and its dock is a compact 213 x 172 x 290 mm box. The Ecovacs DEEBOT T90 Omni is 2.4 GHz only and its station stands 500 mm tall, so measure the corner before you commit it.
Height
The Ecovacs DEEBOT T90 Omni is 95 mm tall and the iRobot Roomba Max 715 Vac Robot + AutoEmpty Dock is 104 mm. That 9 mm is the difference between clearing the underside of a low sofa and catching on it, so check the gap under your own furniture before choosing.

What owners say
Owners of the Ecovacs DEEBOT T90 Omni are the most enthusiastic about its mopping, describing the roller as a generational change from the pad robots they replaced: it scrubs with fresh water and leaves no streaks or water marks. They also rate it quiet for its suction, credit the anti-tangle brush with handling long pet hair, and several run it overnight or during calls. The recurring complaints are the app and mapping, called adequate rather than best in class, with occasional random remapping and odd routes back to the dock, the absence of Apple Home, SmartThings and Matter, its size and tall station, and ongoing consumable costs on a one year warranty.
