Eufy 11S MAX vs iRobot Roomba 105

The iRobot Roomba 105 for most homes. It adds LiDAR mapping, app control with no-go zones, voice control and a longer runtime. The Eufy 11S MAX is the better reviewed and slimmer of the two, but it navigates at random and has no app.

In one or two small rooms the Eufy 11S MAX holds its own, since random navigation covers a small space well and its slim body reaches under furniture. The iRobot Roomba 105 is better once the layout grows, because it maps rooms and cleans them methodically.

Only the iRobot Roomba 105. It connects over 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi and works with Alexa and Google Home. The Eufy 11S MAX has no Wi-Fi, so it cannot be controlled by voice or from a phone.

No. The Eufy 11S MAX and the iRobot Roomba 105 are both vacuum-only robots with no self-emptying dock, so you empty the onboard bin by hand after runs.

Buyers who want a quiet, very slim vacuum for a small space, controlled with a remote and a schedule, and who prefer not to install an app or put another device on their Wi-Fi.

Anyone who wants mapped, room-by-room vacuuming with no-go zones, voice control through Alexa or Google Home and enough runtime for a medium-sized home, without paying for mopping or a self-emptying dock.
