Eufy E28 vs iRobot Roomba Plus 505

The Eufy E28 is the stronger overall pick, combining higher suction and a longer runtime with a detachable portable deep cleaner the Roomba Plus 505 does not have. The Roomba Plus 505 typically costs less and has a smaller dock footprint.

The Eufy E28's station houses a detachable portable deep cleaner for upholstery, stairs and car interiors, a job neither robot's floor cleaning covers on its own. It also vacuums at 20000Pa with a 216-minute battery, both well ahead of the Roomba Plus 505's 7000Pa suction and 120-minute battery.

It is a portable cleaning unit that lifts out of the Eufy E28's station and is used by hand on furniture, stairs and car interiors, covering cleaning jobs a robot vacuum cannot reach on its own.

Yes. Both work with Google Home, Alexa, Apple HomeKit, Samsung SmartThings, Home Assistant and Matter, so smart-home compatibility is identical between them despite the Eufy E28's extra hardware.

Choose the Eufy E28 if you want strong suction, a long runtime and a detachable deep cleaner for upholstery, stairs or car interiors bundled with your robot vacuum.

Choose the iRobot Roomba Plus 505 if you only need floor vacuuming and mopping, want a smaller dock without the extra portable-cleaner hardware, and prefer a typically lower price.
