One of these mops and one does not, and that settles it: Eufy E28 wins with a HydroJet roller mop that rinses itself while cleaning, a station that hot-washes and hot-air dries it, 20,000Pa of suction against 13,000Pa, 216 minutes of runtime against 75, a detachable portable deep cleaner for stairs and upholstery, and a lower price. iRobot Roomba Max 705 is a vacuum-only flagship, and its argument is the widest platform support in the category: Apple HomeKit, Matter, SmartThings, Home Assistant and IFTTT alongside Alexa and Google Home, which the eufy cannot match. Both use LiDAR with multi-room maps, no-go zones, obstacle and cliff detection, and both empty themselves into a dock. The 75 minute battery is the Roomba's other weak point on a large floor plan. If your home runs on HomeKit or Matter and you have no interest in mopping, iRobot Roomba Max 705 is defensible; otherwise Eufy E28 does more of the work for less money.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which is better overall, the Eufy E28 or the iRobot Roomba Max 705?

Eufy E28. It mops as well as vacuums, offers 20,000Pa against 13,000Pa, runs 216 minutes against 75, and costs less. iRobot Roomba Max 705 wins on smart home breadth, supporting Apple HomeKit, Matter, SmartThings, Home Assistant and IFTTT.

Does the Roomba Max 705 mop?

No. iRobot Roomba Max 705 is vacuum-only, with no water tank, mop pad, detergent support or mop washing. Eufy E28 mops with a self-rinsing HydroJet roller, dispenses detergent automatically and has the mop washed and hot-air dried at its station.

How big is the battery gap?

Large. Eufy E28 is rated at 216 minutes per charge against 75 minutes for iRobot Roomba Max 705, which is short for a premium robot. Both auto-recharge and resume, so on a big floor plan the Roomba simply takes considerably longer to finish.

Which one works with Apple HomeKit or Matter?

Only iRobot Roomba Max 705, which supports Apple HomeKit, Matter, SmartThings, Home Assistant and IFTTT as well as Alexa and Google Home. Eufy E28 works with Alexa and Google Home only, with no HomeKit, SmartThings or Matter support.

How do they compare on suction and navigation?

Eufy E28 delivers 20,000Pa against 13,000Pa on iRobot Roomba Max 705. Both use laser LiDAR navigation with multi-room mapping, no-go zones, obstacle detection and cliff detection, so the difference is cleaning power rather than intelligence.

Who should buy the iRobot Roomba Max 705?

Buyers with an Apple Home, Matter or SmartThings setup who want vacuuming only and value a self-emptying dock plus accurate LiDAR mapping. Accept the 75 minute battery and the lack of any mopping. For a complete vacuum-and-mop routine, Eufy E28 is the better purchase.
