It cleans for 216 minutes per charge against 120, is rated at 20,000Pa, maps with laser LiDAR rather than the camera-based VSLAM the Roomba needs the lights on to use, mops from a 2.5L clean water tank against 0.17L with automatic detergent dosing, and hides a detachable portable deep cleaner in its station. It also costs less and is far better received by owners, where the Roomba carries a well-documented record of reliability failures after weeks or months. iRobot Roomba Combo 10 Max robot + AutoWash dock keeps one decisive advantage, integration breadth: Apple HomeKit, Matter, SmartThings, Home Assistant and IFTTT as well as Alexa and Google Home, where the eufy stops at HomeKit and Matter, plus a slightly bigger onboard bin at 300ml. Both self-empty, wash and dry their mops and lift the mop on carpet. If a HomeKit-plus-IFTTT home makes the decision, the Roomba is the only one that fits; on cleaning, navigation and value, Eufy E28 is ahead.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which is better overall, the iRobot Roomba Combo 10 Max or the Eufy E28?

Eufy E28 takes it overall, with 216 minutes of runtime against 120, 20,000Pa of suction, LiDAR navigation, a much larger clean water tank and a lower price. iRobot Roomba Combo 10 Max robot + AutoWash dock wins on platform support, covering Apple HomeKit, Matter, SmartThings, Home Assistant and IFTTT plus Alexa and Google Home.

How do they navigate?

Eufy E28 uses laser LiDAR, which maps accurately in the dark. iRobot Roomba Combo 10 Max robot + AutoWash dock uses camera-based VSLAM, so it needs the lights on to navigate reliably, which owners flag as a practical limitation for overnight or evening cleaning runs.

Which one mops better?

Eufy E28 carries a 2.5L clean water tank with automatic detergent dosing and a HydroJet roller that rinses itself continuously. The Roomba holds 0.17L and its pad retracts onto carpet, but owners describe the mopping as wet-wiping rather than scrubbing, with the pad sometimes staying damp.

What about reliability?

iRobot Roomba Combo 10 Max robot + AutoWash dock has a documented pattern of failures after weeks to months, including unfinished jobs, getting stuck, and bin and dirty-water errors, with support experiences owners describe as slow. Eufy E28 is the newer design and better received, though its station has a large footprint.

Which fits a HomeKit or Matter home?

Only iRobot Roomba Combo 10 Max robot + AutoWash dock, which supports Apple HomeKit, Matter, SmartThings, Home Assistant and IFTTT. Eufy E28 is limited to Amazon Alexa and Google Home with no HomeKit, SmartThings or Matter support at all.

Who should buy the Eufy E28?

Most buyers: it runs longer, maps in the dark, mops with far more water and detergent, adds a detachable deep cleaner for upholstery and stairs, and costs less. Choose iRobot Roomba Combo 10 Max robot + AutoWash dock when broad platform support, especially HomeKit or Matter, is non-negotiable.
