Eufy Omni C28 vs iRobot Roomba Plus 505

Full Robot Vacuums comparison in 2026

Updated September 2026
Data from Amazon and official Eufy and iRobot sites.
2026 verdict
Raw suction and runtime tip this one to the Eufy Omni C28, which comes out as the stronger robot vacuum against the iRobot Roomba Plus 505 on hardware alone.
Both vacuum and mop with LiDAR mapping, no-go zones, and self-emptying docks that wash and dry their own mop pads, so their core cleaning routine is matched. The Omni C28 pulls ahead with 15000Pa of suction against the Roomba's 7000Pa and a much longer 251-minute battery versus 120 minutes, genuinely strong numbers for a mid-priced combo. Where the iRobot Roomba Plus 505 gains ground is smart-home reach: it adds Apple HomeKit, Samsung SmartThings and Matter, none of which the Omni C28 supports, and it typically costs less. Buyers who want the strongest suction and longest runtime should pick the Eufy Omni C28; anyone building a HomeKit, SmartThings or Matter smart home, or wanting a lower price, should choose the iRobot Roomba Plus 505.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which is better overall: Eufy Omni C28 or iRobot Roomba Plus 505?

The Eufy Omni C28 wins on hardware, with much stronger suction and a longer runtime. The iRobot Roomba Plus 505 wins on smart-home breadth, adding Apple HomeKit, Samsung SmartThings and Matter, and is typically the more affordable option, so the better fit depends on which matters more to you.

What is the biggest difference between the Eufy Omni C28 and the iRobot Roomba Plus 505?

Suction and battery life versus smart-home platform support. The Eufy Omni C28 vacuums at 15000Pa with a 251-minute battery, well ahead of the Roomba Plus 505's 7000Pa and 120 minutes, but the Roomba supports Apple HomeKit, Samsung SmartThings and Matter, which the Omni C28 does not.

Do both self-empty and mop the same way?

Yes. Both the Eufy Omni C28 and the iRobot Roomba Plus 505 self-empty their dustbin and use a dock that automatically washes and dries the mop pads, alongside LiDAR mapping and no-go zones, so their core automation is matched.

Choose the Eufy Omni C28 if you want the strongest suction and longest runtime in this pairing, and you do not specifically need Apple HomeKit, Samsung SmartThings or Matter.

Who should buy the iRobot Roomba Plus 505?
