Eufy 11S MAX vs iRobot Roomba 105

The iRobot Roomba 105 is the stronger pick overall, with LiDAR-based multi-room mapping, no-go zones, roughly double the runtime and Wi-Fi app support with Google Home, Alexa and IFTTT. The Eufy 11S MAX has none of those features but keeps things simple with no app to set up.

Navigation and connectivity. The Roomba 105 uses LiDAR to build and save maps with no-go zones, while the 11S MAX has no Wi-Fi, no app and navigates by bumping around the room, so it cannot save maps or connect to any smart-home platform.

No. It has no Wi-Fi, Bluetooth or app of any kind, so it is controlled entirely with the included remote and onboard scheduling. The iRobot Roomba 105 connects over 2.4GHz Wi-Fi and supports Google Home, Alexa and IFTTT.

About twice as long. The Roomba 105 is rated for roughly 200 minutes per charge, while the Eufy 11S MAX runs about 100 minutes before needing to recharge.

Buyers who want the simplest possible robot vacuum, with no app or Wi-Fi setup, a slim body for tight under-furniture spaces, and quiet everyday operation on hard floors and light carpet.

Buyers who want LiDAR mapping, no-go zones, longer runtime and app-based smart-home control, and who don't mind emptying the bin by hand since neither model self-empties or mops.
