The iRobot Roomba Plus 505, unless you specifically want a robot with no app. It maps, mops and self-maintains. The Eufy 11S MAX is quieter, thinner and the better reviewed, but it bounces at 2,000 Pa with no Wi-Fi.

They are different generations of robot vacuum. The Eufy 11S MAX, from 2019, is a thin remote-controlled vac with no map and no mop. The iRobot Roomba Plus 505 maps with LiDAR, mops, and uses an AutoWash dock, with Matter and 5 GHz Wi-Fi.

No. The Eufy 11S MAX has no Wi-Fi or other radio, so Alexa, Google Home, Apple Home and Home Assistant cannot reach it. The iRobot Roomba Plus 505 works with all four, plus SmartThings, through Matter and its own radios.

The Eufy 11S MAX, rated around 55 dB and 72.5 mm tall, with a 600 ml bin. The iRobot Roomba Plus 505 is 106 mm tall and its owners say the dock cycle is loud. It is the one with 7,000 Pa and a 180 minute rating.

Someone who wants a simple, quiet robot vacuum for a small hard-floor home, controlled with a remote, and who will empty a 600 ml bin by hand. It does not mop, map or join Wi-Fi.

Homes that want LiDAR rooms, a mop, and a dock that empties, washes and dries, on Alexa, Google Home, Apple Home or Home Assistant. It is the robot vacuum to buy in this pair for almost every mapped home.
