2026 verdict
LiDAR roller mop, or a camera-guided dock?
The Eufy Omni C28 is the robot vacuum this comparison favors, on price, the higher rating and a 251 minute battery against 175. It uses LiDAR and publishes 15000Pa and about 55 dB. The iRobot Roomba Combo 10 Max robot + AutoWash dock navigates with a camera and wins the app row: Apple Home, SmartThings and Matter, which the Eufy does not support. Both wash, dry and self-empty. Choose the Eufy Omni C28 unless those platforms are mandatory.

What the differences mean
Navigation
The Eufy Omni C28 uses LiDAR. The iRobot Roomba Combo 10 Max robot + AutoWash dock uses camera navigation, which its owners say needs the lights on. The sheet does not award that row to either side. It is still the difference you live with after dark.
Battery and suction paperwork
The Eufy Omni C28 is rated for 251 minutes at 15000Pa and recharges in 3.5 hours. The iRobot Roomba Combo 10 Max robot + AutoWash dock is rated for 175 minutes and recharges in 3 hours. It does not publish suction, so that is not a loss, only a blank.
Smart home
The iRobot Roomba Combo 10 Max robot + AutoWash dock supports Alexa, Google Home, Apple Home, SmartThings, Home Assistant and Matter. The Eufy Omni C28 supports Alexa, Google Home and Home Assistant, and not Apple Home, SmartThings or Matter. Only the Combo 10 Max also joins 5 GHz Wi-Fi; the Eufy is 2.4 GHz only. Both have Bluetooth.
Body and noise
The Eufy Omni C28 publishes about 55 dB, stands 110.6 mm tall and holds 2.2L of water, emptying into a 3L bag. The Roomba stands 86 mm tall, holds 300ml onboard and does not publish noise or a dock bag size. The Roomba is the lower body. The Eufy is the one with a noise figure.
Which one to buy if
- you want the better reviewed, longer-running station
The Eufy Omni C28 is the more affordable robot vacuum, rated for 251 minutes against 175, with LiDAR and a roller the dock maintains.
- you need Apple Home, SmartThings or Matter as a requirement
The iRobot Roomba Combo 10 Max robot + AutoWash dock supports all three. The Eufy Omni C28 supports none of those three.
- the robot should navigate with the lights off
The Eufy Omni C28 uses LiDAR. The Roomba uses a camera, and its owners say it needs light.
- a lower body matters more than the longer battery
The iRobot Roomba Combo 10 Max robot + AutoWash dock is 86 mm tall. The Eufy Omni C28 is 110.6 mm tall.

What owners say
Owners of both want a dock that finishes the chores, and both groups have a reliability story, of different sizes. Eufy Omni C28 owners praise suction, floors that come up clean and how little they intervene, and they complain about slow mop drying, clutter the robot still climbs, and a few bad water compartments on arrival. iRobot Roomba Combo 10 Max robot + AutoWash dock owners who were happy cite mapping and a pad that gets off carpet, and a large share say it worked for weeks or months and then stuck, quit early or lost the dock, with slow support. The Eufy complaints are annoyances. The Roomba complaints are whether it keeps going.
