Eufy E28 is the better of these two vacuum-and-mop robots, with 20,000Pa of suction against 13,000Pa, 216 minutes of runtime against 75, a much stronger owner reception and a lower price, plus a station that carries a detachable portable deep cleaner for stairs, upholstery and car seats. iRobot Roomba Max 705 Combo matches it on the automation checklist, since both use LiDAR mapping, no-go zones, obstacle and cliff detection, mop auto-lift, automatic mop washing and drying and a self-emptying dock with detergent dosing, and it beats the eufy comprehensively on platform support with Apple HomeKit, Matter, SmartThings, Home Assistant and IFTTT. Its problem is execution: owners report frequent failures within days or weeks, including false bin and dirty-water errors, leaking docks, unfinished jobs and app scheduling bugs, on top of a short battery. Buy iRobot Roomba Max 705 Combo only if HomeKit or Matter is essential and you keep the return window in mind; otherwise Eufy E28 cleans harder, runs nearly three times longer and costs less.

Frequently Asked Questions

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

Eufy E28: 20,000Pa against 13,000Pa, 216 minutes against 75, a lower price and a far better owner reception. iRobot Roomba Max 705 Combo wins on integrations, with Apple HomeKit, Matter, SmartThings, Home Assistant and IFTTT support that the eufy does not offer.

Do both of them mop and wash the mop automatically?

Yes. Both lift the mop on carpet, wash it and dry it at the dock and dispense detergent automatically. Eufy E28 uses a HydroJet roller that rinses itself while cleaning; iRobot Roomba Max 705 Combo uses an extending roller mop with an AutoWash dock that heat-washes and dries it.

What is the reliability record of the Roomba Max 705 Combo?

Owners frequently report failures within days or weeks: false bin and dirty-water tank errors, leaking docks, jobs that never finish, streaks and puddles from the mop and buggy scheduling in the app, with slow customer service. This is the main reason to weigh Eufy E28 instead.

How much longer does the E28 run?

Eufy E28 is rated at 216 minutes per charge against 75 minutes for iRobot Roomba Max 705 Combo. Both auto-recharge and resume, but on a large floor plan the Roomba's short battery means several charge cycles to complete a single pass.

Which fits an Apple or Matter smart home?

Only iRobot Roomba Max 705 Combo, which supports Apple HomeKit, Matter, SmartThings, Home Assistant and IFTTT alongside Alexa and Google Home. Eufy E28 is limited to Alexa and Google Home over 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi with Bluetooth for setup.

Who should buy the iRobot Roomba Max 705 Combo?

Buyers whose smart home depends on HomeKit, Matter or SmartThings and who want iRobot's LiDAR mapping and AutoWash dock, accepting the short battery and the documented reliability risk. For cleaning performance, runtime and value, Eufy E28 is the safer purchase.
