What the differences mean

Suction

The Ecovacs DEEBOT X11S PRO Omni is rated at 30,000 Pa and the iRobot Roomba Plus 505 at 7,000 Pa. The Ecovacs pulls harder on carpet and embedded fur, while the iRobot is comfortable with everyday debris on hard floors.

Mop hardware

The Ecovacs DEEBOT X11S PRO Omni uses an OZMO roller that rinses continuously and extends sideways to reach baseboards and cabinet edges, washed and dried at its station. The iRobot Roomba Plus 505 uses spinning pads that are washed and heat-dried at the AutoWash dock.

Wi-Fi and platforms

The iRobot Roomba Plus 505 connects on 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz and supports Alexa, Google Home, Apple Home, SmartThings, Home Assistant and Matter. The Ecovacs DEEBOT X11S PRO Omni documents 2.4 GHz only and lists Alexa, Google Home and Home Assistant, leaving the others unlisted.

Detergent

The Ecovacs DEEBOT X11S PRO Omni station mixes and dispenses cleaning solution from two tanks automatically. The iRobot Roomba Plus 505 has no automatic detergent dispenser, so any solution is added to the tank by hand before a mopping run.

Run time

The Ecovacs DEEBOT X11S PRO Omni is rated at 200 minutes and adds PowerBoost, which restores about 10 percent of the battery in three minutes so a long job resumes. The iRobot Roomba Plus 505 is rated at 180 minutes.

What owners say

Owners of the Ecovacs DEEBOT X11S PRO Omni and the iRobot Roomba Plus 505 both value a dock that removes the chores, and both groups report a robot that keeps floors clean with little input. iRobot Roomba Plus 505 owners single out fast LiDAR mapping and reliable pet-hair pickup, and they are candid that the robot is loud, especially while the dock washes the pads, with a few reporting navigation errors months later. Ecovacs DEEBOT X11S PRO Omni owners praise the roller mop for scrubbing dried pawprints and footprints instead of smearing them, and the extending roller for reaching baseboards other robots miss. Their complaints are a battery they call small for the class and app errors, including low-solution alerts in the wrong language and self-clearing warnings.
