What the differences mean

Suction

The Eufy E25 is rated at 20,000 Pa and the iRobot Roomba 505X at 7,000 Pa. Both mop and both self-empty, so this is not a dock comparison. It is a pickup comparison, and the Eufy is the one with the headroom for cracks and heavier pet hair.

Detergent and tanks

The Eufy E25 doses detergent, holds 2.5 L of water and empties into a 3 L bag, with a 300 ml onboard bin. The iRobot Roomba 505X does not dose detergent. It holds a 3 L water tank and a 295 ml onboard bin, and its dock bag is not published. Both wash, dry and lift the mop.

Wi-Fi

The iRobot Roomba 505X joins 5 GHz and 2.4 GHz, and lists Bluetooth. The Eufy E25 is 2.4 GHz only and also lists Bluetooth. Smart-home apps are a tie: both list Alexa, Google Home, Apple Home, SmartThings, Home Assistant and Matter. A child lock is on both.

Runtime and noise

The Eufy E25 runs 216 minutes, charges in 3.5 hours and publishes 57 dB. The iRobot Roomba 505X runs 180 minutes and charges in 4.5 hours. Its noise figure is not published, though owners call deep-clean mode loud. The Eufy body is 111 mm tall. The Roomba is 107 mm, so height is not the reason to choose.

Which one to buy if

  • pet hair in floor cracks is the main mess
    Eufy E25

    The Eufy E25 is rated at 20,000 Pa against 7,000 Pa, and it still washes and dries the mop the way the Roomba does.

  • the home network is 5 GHz and you want to spend less
    iRobot Roomba 505X

    The iRobot Roomba 505X joins 5 GHz Wi-Fi and is the more affordable robot, with the same Apple Home and Matter support.

  • you want detergent dosed for you
    Eufy E25

    The Eufy E25 has an automatic detergent dispenser and a published 2.5 L tank. The iRobot Roomba 505X does not dispense detergent.

  • you already live in Apple Home and only need everyday suction
    iRobot Roomba 505X

    Both list Apple Home. The iRobot Roomba 505X is enough if 7,000 Pa covers the floors and the lower price matters.

What owners say

Owners of both the Eufy E25 and the iRobot Roomba 505X praise a dock that takes over the bin and the mop, so the hands-off idea is not unique. Eufy E25 owners single out pet hair and a station that refills water, and they say the roller only dampens, the turret snags low furniture, and drying is loud. iRobot Roomba 505X owners single out weeks without touching the pads and reliable hardwood and tile, including pet hair. They complain that deep-clean runs are loud enough to schedule while the house is empty, and that the first Wi-Fi map can take a reset. A few mention cliff sensors misreading very dark floors.
