Maintenance, not deep cleaning · review
A roller washed during use, heated mopping, AI avoidance and auto-dosing.
Where this ends up Fourteen hundred dollars for the only Roomba with a roller that washes itself as it cleans, extends to the edges and covers itself over carpet. Its suction is still published as a hundred and seventy-five times a product discontinued fifteen years ago.
“The self‑cleaning roller mop continuously washes itself during use, extends to reach edges and corners, and protects carpets with a built‑in cover.”
Three things in one sentence, and all three are the strongest version of their kind on this shelf.
Washed during use is the one that matters most, and the ECOVACS T90 PRO explains why in its own blunt words: “Pads wipe, they don’t scrub” and “Dirty pads re-soil floors.”
At least ten of the eighteen machines here drag a pad or a cloth, including iRobot’s own 105, 105X, 115X, 415X and 505X. A pad collects the kitchen’s grease on its first pass and spends the next forty minutes distributing it.
Three wash the mop while cleaning: this, the ECOVACS (“cleans the roller in real time”) and the eufy E25 (“refreshes the roller mop 2 times per second with clean water”). They are the three most expensive mopping systems on this shelf, which is what a pump, a clean-water feed and a drain running during motion cost.
Extending solves the geometry: a round robot cannot reach a 90-degree corner, and a roller that reaches past the chassis scrubs the edge rather than flicking at it. The ECOVACS does the same with a stated “0.6 inches beyond the body”; the eufy E25 uses a “CornerRover Arm”.
The cover is the part nobody else has. Every rival lifts the mop over carpet — 8 mm on the roborock Q10 S5+, 10 mm on the iRobot 415X and roborock Qrevo S Pro, 10.8 mm on the eufy E25, 0.6 inch on the ECOVACS. A lifted mop is still a wet mop in the air above a carpet, and it drips. A cover closes over it, which is why this listing can claim wet and dry “never mix”.
And 200 rpm with “steady pressure” is a published rate, which four listings here manage: the roborock Q10 S5+ at 3000 oscillations a minute, the eufy Omni C20 at 180 rpm with 6 N, the Shark at 100 a minute.
“175x stronger suction compared to Roomba 600 series robots.”
The 600 series is discontinued and this listing does not say what it lifted. A hundred and seventy-five times an unknown is an unknown.
So the most expensive machine on this shelf cannot be compared, on its headline specification, with the cheapest.
Four of iRobot’s six listings here do this — the 105 and 105X at 70X, the 505X at up to 70X, this at 175x — and iRobot publishes real figures on the other two: 15,000 Pa on the 115X at $469.99, 20,000 Pa on the 415X at $668.95.
So the maker has pascals and uses them selectively, on its mid-range models.
The comparable field: ECOVACS T90 PRO 30,000 Pa · iRobot 415X and eufy E25 20,000 · roborock Qrevo S Pro 18,500 · iRobot 115X 15,000 · roborock Q10 S5+ 10,000 · eufy Omni C20 7000 · TRDIOL 6000.
Whether this beats any of them is not answerable from its own page.
Anti-tangle Dual Rubber Brushes is the right construction — rubber fins flex and release hair where bristles grip it — and matches the roborock Qrevo S Pro’s “all rubber main brush”. Automatic Carpet Boost raises suction on pile, which is the correct behavior.
“PrecisionVision AI, Roomba recognizes cords, socks, pet waste, and more—steering around them in real time and automatically re‑cleaning areas where wet or dry messes are detected.”
Two behaviors, and the first prevents the single worst outcome in this category: a robot driving through a dog’s accident and carrying it across every floor in the house, through its brushes, wheels and mop.
Only this and the 505X claim to recognize it. Two rivals detect obstacles without identifying them — the roborock Q10 S5+ with “ReactiveTech… structured light”, the ECOVACS T90 PRO with an RGB camera. Everything else navigates by LiDAR, which maps walls precisely and sweeps over anything low and soft.
The second behavior is the quieter win: noticing a spill and going over it again, which is what a person does and what a machine on a fixed route does not.
ClearView Pro LiDAR building “detailed 3D maps” that auto-label rooms is the convenience layer — it names your kitchen so you can tell it to clean the kitchen.
“automatic solution dispensing.”
Detergent metered by the dock rather than poured into a tank by hand, and only this and the ECOVACS T90 PRO claim it on this shelf.
It fixes two common errors: too little does nothing, and too much leaves a film that collects dirt faster than the floor was dirty to begin with.
The caution worth stating: automatic dosing normally implies a proprietary cartridge, which is a running cost, and the listing does not say what it costs or whether the solution is iRobot’s own. The Shark is the other listing here with a named consumable — a “12oz. Starter VACMOP Cleaning Solution”.
And automatic water refilling puts this with the 415X and eufy E25 as the three docks here that fill their own tanks. A dock that washes a mop but needs topping up by hand has only relocated the chore.
“Heated mopping”, “weeks of heated mopping and roller washing”, “hot‑air drying.”
Three mentions of heat and not one figure, on the most expensive machine on this shelf.
What the rivals publish:
ECOVACS T90 PRO ($799.99) — wash up to 167 °F, dry 145 °F roborock Qrevo S Pro ($429.99) — wash 167 °F, dry 113 °F iRobot 415X ($668.95) — wash and heat-dry 113 °F eufy E25 — dry 50 °C eufy Omni C20 — room-temperature air
So a machine at a third of this price tells you both its temperatures, and this one tells you neither. “Heated” could be 45 °C (113 °F) or 75 °C (167 °F), and those are different products: one moves kitchen grease around and the other removes it.
Heated mopping — heating the water applied to the floor, rather than the wash water — is genuinely unusual and would be worth knowing about. Without a figure it cannot be placed.
No pascal figure, as above.
No wash or dry temperature, as above.
No runtime, which no iRobot on this shelf publishes as a time. Only the two eufy listings do, at 132 and 125 minutes.
No noise figure, where the roborock Qrevo S Pro publishes 55 dB and the eufy E25 “≤61dB (max mode)”. On a machine with a roller, a pump and a heated dock, this is a figure worth having.
No bag capacity. “Up to 75 days” with no liter figure cannot be checked, where the TRDIOL publishes 4 L / 120 days, the eufy Omni C20 3.1 L / 60 with its assumptions stated, and the iRobot 115X 2.5 L / 90.
No height in the bullets, and the catalog gives 104 mm — where its own cheaper 415X is 84 mm and the 115X 79 mm. Most sofa frames sit at 100 to 127 mm, so the flagship is the one more likely to be stopped by furniture.
No mop pressure in newtons, where the eufy Omni C20 publishes 6 N — the only force on this shelf — alongside its 180 rpm.
No filtration standard, where the Shark publishes “True HEPA… 99.97% down to 0.3 microns” and two iRobot listings publish 99% at 0.7 microns.

A roller instead of pads, and automatic dosing. Those are the two real differences and the first is substantial. This has "the self-cleaning roller mop continuously washes itself during use, extends to reach edges and corners, and protects carpets with a built-in cover", scrubbing "at 200 RPMs". The 505X has DualClean Mop Pads washed in the dock between runs. The distinction is the one the ECOVACS T90 PRO puts bluntly: "Pads wipe, they don’t scrub" and "Dirty pads re-soil floors" — a pad collects the kitchen’s grease and distributes it for the rest of the run, where a roller washed continuously cannot. The second addition is "automatic solution dispensing", which this and the ECOVACS are the only machines here to claim. And the suction claim rises from "up to 70X" to "175x" — both against the same discontinued baseline, so the only thing that can be said is that this claims two and a half times its sibling. Both have PrecisionVision AI and ClearView Pro LiDAR. At $621 more, the roller is the purchase.
It is the oddest fact on this shelf. The listing publishes "175x stronger suction* *compared to Roomba 600 series robots" — a product line discontinued years ago, whose own suction figure it does not state. So 175 × an unknown is an unknown, and a $1399.99 machine cannot be compared with a $227.99 one that publishes 6000 Pa. Four of iRobot’s six listings here use that convention: the 105 and 105X at 70X, the 505X at up to 70X, this at 175x. And iRobot publishes real figures on the other two — 15,000 Pa on the 115X at $469.99 and 20,000 Pa on the 415X at $668.95. So the maker has the numbers and uses them selectively. The comparable field runs from 6000 Pa (TRDIOL) to 30,000 Pa (ECOVACS T90 PRO), with the eufy E25 at 20,000 and the roborock Qrevo S Pro at 18,500. Whether this machine beats any of them is not answerable from its own listing, which on the most expensive product on the shelf is a remarkable position to take.
It is a different solution to the same problem and arguably the more thorough one. This listing publishes: "protects carpets with a built-in cover—so wet and dry messes never mix." A lift raises the mop clear of the carpet, and the published heights here run 8 mm (0.31 in) to 15.2 mm (0.60 in) — the roborock Q10 S5+ at 8, the iRobot 415X and roborock Qrevo S Pro at 10, the eufy E25 at 10.8, the ECOVACS T90 PRO at 0.6 inch. A lifted mop is still a wet mop in the air above a carpet, and it still drips. A cover closes over it, which is why the bullet can claim wet and dry "never mix". Two other approaches on this shelf are weaker: the iRobot 105 and 105X simply avoid carpet, which leaves the hard floor at a rug’s edge unmopped, and the 115X relies on a No Mop Zone you draw in the app, which fails the moment a rug moves. A cover is the only mechanism here that encloses rather than raises.
