What the differences mean
How it navigates
The eufy Omni S2 uses LiDAR. The iRobot Roomba Combo 10 Max robot + AutoWash dock uses a camera, so owners say it needs the lights on and struggles in the dark. Both list obstacle detection, cliff detection, multi-room maps and no-go zones. The navigation type is the practical split on an evening run.
Warranty and runtime
The eufy Omni S2 carries a two year warranty and a 179 minute rating, recharging in about 4 hours. The iRobot Roomba Combo 10 Max robot + AutoWash dock carries a one year warranty and a 175 minute rating, recharging in about 3 hours. Both return to the dock. Runtime is close; the warranty is not. Suction is 30,000 Pa on the eufy Omni S2 and is not documented on the iRobot, so it is not scored.
Mop care
Both self-empty, both wash and dry the mop and both lift it for carpet. The eufy Omni S2 doses detergent automatically, holds 3 L of water and empties into a 2.5 L dock bin, and its roller is described as using electrolyzed water. The iRobot Roomba Combo 10 Max robot + AutoWash dock has no automatic detergent dispenser, its water tank and dock bin are not documented, and it has no child lock. The eufy Omni S2 has one.
Body height
The iRobot Roomba Combo 10 Max robot + AutoWash dock stands 86 mm tall. The eufy Omni S2 stands 98 mm tall and is rated at 59 dB, while noise on the iRobot is not documented. Both have Bluetooth and 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi, and only the iRobot also lists 5 GHz. Smart home is not the split; height and how the robot sees the room are.
Which one to buy if

The eufy Omni S2 uses LiDAR and a two year warranty. The iRobot Roomba Combo 10 Max robot + AutoWash dock uses a camera and a one year warranty.

What owners say
Owners of both robots want the same thing, a dock that handles the chores, and both groups confirm it does when the machines behave. iRobot Roomba Combo 10 Max robot + AutoWash dock owners split sharply: happy ones praise the map, light daily pickup and a pad that washes and dries itself; the larger complaint is units that work for weeks and then fail, with unfinished jobs, a robot that cannot find the dock, and bin or dirty-water errors. eufy Omni S2 owners report fewer of those failures, crediting LiDAR that does not need the lights on and a roller mop that lifts stuck-on dirt, while still flagging software that can get confused and a dock that needs space around it.
