What the differences mean
Mopping and the dock
The Eufy X10 Pro Omni vacuums and mops, then washes and heat-dries the pads and empties into a 2.5L bag fed from a 3L water tank. The iRobot Roomba 205 does not mop and does not self-empty, so the bin comes out by hand and hard floors never get a damp pass. If you want one robot for both jobs, only the Eufy does them.
Runtime and suction
The Eufy X10 Pro Omni is rated for 210 minutes at 8,000 Pa. The iRobot Roomba 205 is rated for 120 minutes at 7,000 Pa. On a larger floor the Roomba is the one more likely to head back and recharge before the plan is finished, which is also what its owners report.
Wi-Fi and the smart home
The iRobot Roomba 205 joins 5 GHz Wi-Fi and the Eufy X10 Pro Omni does not. The other way around, the Eufy works with Home Assistant and the Roomba does not, and neither supports Apple Home, SmartThings or Matter. Both still work with Alexa and Google Home on 2.4 GHz.
What you empty
The Eufy X10 Pro Omni keeps a 330 ml onboard bin and hands debris to a 2.5L dock bag. The iRobot Roomba 205 has no dock bag. Its owners instead point to an internal compactor that presses debris down so the bin is emptied less often, at the cost of a bin some of them find awkward to clear.
Which one to buy if
- hard floors need vacuuming and a real mop
The Eufy X10 Pro Omni mops, lifts the pads on carpet, and the dock washes and heat-dries them. The iRobot Roomba 205 does not mop.
- you only vacuum and do not want a tall dock
The iRobot Roomba 205 uses a compact charging base and compacts debris inside the robot instead of a self-empty tower.
- the robot has to join Home Assistant
The Eufy X10 Pro Omni works with Home Assistant. The iRobot Roomba 205 does not, and it has no Matter path either.
- the only usable Wi-Fi is 5 GHz
The iRobot Roomba 205 supports 5 GHz Wi-Fi and the Eufy X10 Pro Omni is limited to 2.4 GHz.

What owners say
Owners of both praise pet-hair pickup and a map that can send the robot to one room. After that they live with different chores. Eufy X10 Pro Omni owners talk about streak-free tile and hardwood and a dock that empties, washes and dries so they go weeks between real work, and they warn about roller or motor faults inside a year, support that is excellent for some and drawn out for others, and a dock that is loud for a few seconds while it empties. iRobot Roomba 205 owners single out the internal DustCompactor and the small base, saying the bin needs emptying less often than a plain robot, and they complain that one charge often cannot finish the floor, that cords and mats still trap it, and that there is no mop at all.
