2026 verdict
Mapped, room-specific cleaning is what separates these two vacuum-only robots, and the iRobot Roomba 105X is the one that has it, building LiDAR maps with no-go zones where the Eufy 11S MAX only bumps around at random.
It also runs a little longer per charge and connects to Wi-Fi for Google Home and Alexa, none of which the Eufy 11S MAX offers since it has no radio of any kind. Neither model mops or self-empties, so the gap here is entirely about navigation and connectivity rather than wet cleaning or maintenance. The Eufy 11S MAX keeps its own case: it is the cheaper option, its owners rate it slightly higher, and its slim body reaches under furniture the Roomba's taller shell cannot. Buy the iRobot Roomba 105X for room-by-room control and voice support, and the Eufy 11S MAX only if a remote-only, no-app vacuum is genuinely what you want.

What the differences mean
Navigation and mapping
The Eufy 11S MAX bumps around at random with no memory of the room, so it can repeat areas or miss spots. The iRobot Roomba 105X uses LiDAR to build and save a map, which is what lets owners target one room or draw a no-go zone.
Connectivity
The Eufy 11S MAX has no Wi-Fi, Bluetooth or app of any kind, so it runs entirely off its bundled remote. The iRobot Roomba 105X connects over 2.4GHz Wi-Fi and works with Google Home and Alexa, though it has no Apple HomeKit, SmartThings or Matter support either.
Battery life
120 minutes against 100 is not a dramatic gap on paper, but iRobot Roomba 105X owners in larger homes report needing a mid-run recharge anyway, so neither robot is built for a very large floor plan in one pass.
Body height
At 72.5 mm the Eufy 11S MAX is noticeably slimmer than the 104 mm iRobot Roomba 105X, so it reaches under beds and cabinets the Roomba's LiDAR turret keeps it out of.
Which one to buy if
- you want to send the robot to one specific room
The iRobot Roomba 105X's LiDAR mapping is what makes room-by-room cleaning possible; the Eufy 11S MAX has no memory of the space at all.
- you specifically do not want an app or a Wi-Fi account
The Eufy 11S MAX runs entirely off its bundled remote, with nothing to set up or connect.
- low furniture clearance is a real problem in your home
At 72.5 mm the Eufy 11S MAX reaches under beds and cabinets the taller iRobot Roomba 105X cannot clear.
- voice control through Alexa or Google Home matters to you
The iRobot Roomba 105X connects to both; the Eufy 11S MAX has no radio to reach either one.

What owners say
Eufy 11S MAX owners keep coming back to two things: how quiet it is next to a fan or an AC unit, and how much fine dust and pet hair it pulls up given the price, though a minority report side-brush motors wearing out within a year. iRobot Roomba 105X owners are just as surprised by the suction for the price, and several specifically praise being able to send it to one room, like a litter box area, instead of cleaning the whole floor blind. Their main complaint is battery life falling short in bigger homes, needing a mid-clean recharge to finish a floor plan, and a few mention it getting tangled on loose cords or door mats left on the ground. Both groups treat maintenance the same way, since neither robot mops or empties itself.
