Eufy E28 vs iRobot Roomba 505X

The Eufy E28 comes out ahead, with a longer runtime, a higher owner rating and stronger published suction. The iRobot Roomba 505X remains the more affordable pick and adds its own capable AutoWash dock.

The Eufy E28's station houses a detachable FlexiOne deep cleaner that lifts out for hand cleaning on stairs, upholstery and car seats, a job the iRobot Roomba 505X's dock cannot do. Both robots vacuum, mop and self-empty automatically.

The Eufy E28 is rated for about 216 minutes per charge, compared with roughly 120 minutes for the iRobot Roomba 505X, so it covers more floor before needing to recharge.

Yes. The Eufy E28's HydroJet roller mop rinses itself in real time while cleaning, and the iRobot Roomba 505X's AutoWash dock washes and dries its spinning mop pads between runs, with owners reporting up to 75 days between manual dustbin emptying.

Buyers who want the longest runtime here plus a portable deep cleaner for stairs, upholstery and car interiors, on top of standard vacuuming and mopping.

Buyers who want a proven, budget-friendlier vacuum-and-mop routine and don't need the detachable deep cleaner or the longest runtime.
