The Eureka E20 Plus delivers top-tier suction (8000 Pa) and advanced dual-LiDAR navigation, complemented by a bagless self-empty base that can run for 45 days. Its weight and absence of premium mop-washing functions are trade-offs for the performance. Ideal for pet owners and allergy sufferers needing strong cleaning power in medium-to-large homes.
The ILIFE A30 Pro is a lightweight 2-in-1 robot with 5000 Pa suction, 180-minute runtime and an impressive 280-day auto-empty capability. Its small water tank and EU-only power plug limit convenience for some users. Ideal for pet owners and medium-to-large homes seeking strong suction and low-maintenance operation.
The Lefant M2L Plus is a compact robot vacuum-mop with strong suction, LiDAR navigation and a long-lasting self-emptying station. Its basic mopping performance and occasional app hiccups limit its premium appeal. Ideal for pet owners and small-to-medium homes seeking value.
The Roborock Q8 Max provides 5,500 Pa suction, DuoRoller brushes and 30 adjustable mop pressure levels, delivering strong cleaning across large multi-floor homes. It lacks an automatic mop-water dock and can be noisy at maximum power. Best suited for pet owners seeking robust performance without premium dock features.
The DEEBOT T8 combines TrueMapping laser navigation with AI obstacle avoidance and simultaneous vacuum-and-mop cleaning, backed by a 180-minute battery. Its mopping efficacy and occasional navigation hiccups may fall short for deep-clean needs. Great for medium-large homes that value precise mapping and multi-floor capability.
The Roomba 104 Combo offers strong suction, LiDAR navigation and a 75-day auto-empty dock for medium-sized homes. Missing battery runtime and its relatively heavy build are notable drawbacks. Ideal for users who want a feature-rich combo robot and can accommodate its size.

Professional reviewers commend the A30 Pro for its strong 5000Pa suction, convenient 60-day self-emptying system, effective 2-in-1 roller brush, and precise LiDAR navigation, while noting the EU-only plug and small water tank as drawbacks.
Everyday users appreciate the robot's ability to handle daily messes and pet hair, the ease of app setup, long battery runtime, and the hands-free 60-day dust handling. Recurring concerns include the need for a plug adapter outside Europe, frequent stock shortages, and the bulk of the self-empty station in smaller living spaces.
“Effective on daily messes/pet hair, easy app setup, long battery.”
“truly an exceptional cleaning robot”
“significant boost over Q7 Max with 5500 Pa suction”
Professional reviewers commend the T8 for its sophisticated AIVI AI camera paired with LIDAR, delivering industry-leading obstacle avoidance and precise 2 mm mapping. They highlight the robust 5200 mAh battery, strong 19.5 CFM airflow, and the convenience of simultaneous vacuum-and-mop cleaning with automatic carpet detection. However, they note that high-pile carpet performance is only moderate, the lack of a carrying handle is a usability drawback, and the premium price may deter budget shoppers.
Everyday users appreciate the reliable carpet detection, easy app setup, and the effective vacuum-and-mop combo on hard floors, often mentioning the quiet operation and auto-empty compatibility. Recurring concerns revolve around limited feedback on mopping effectiveness, occasional navigation hiccups in cluttered spaces, and the still-unproven long-term durability of the mop system.
Professional reviewers consider the Q8 Max a standout mid-range robot, with Modern Castle calling it "truly an exceptional cleaning robot" thanks to its DuoRoller and 5500 Pa suction, while Tech Revolutionist sees it as a strong step up from the Q7 Max, offering precise LiDAR navigation and robust cleaning without the premium price of higher-end models.
Everyday users consistently praise the robot's powerful suction, pet-hair handling, long battery life and ability to map multiple floors, noting its low profile for under-furniture cleaning. Complaints focus on the manual nature of dock and mop maintenance and occasional concerns about noise at maximum power.
Professional reviewers consider the Lefant M2L Plus the best budget robo-vacuum, praising its high-end LiDAR/DTOF navigation, strong suction, compact footprint, and long-lasting self-emptying station, all at a sub-$300 price point. While they acknowledge the suction claims may be optimistic on heavy messes and the mopping function is basic, the overall value proposition is seen as outstanding for pet owners and small-to-medium homes.
Everyday users consistently highlight the robot's ability to pick up pet hair, its reliable mapping, and the convenience of a self-emptying station that reduces maintenance. Common complaints revolve around uneven wet-mopping on edges, occasional app connectivity hiccups, and suction that sometimes falls short on thicker carpets, but overall sentiment remains positive for its price and feature set.
Professional reviewers consider the Eureka E20 Plus a solid step up from the E10s, emphasizing its doubled suction, V-shaped anti-tangle brush, and sophisticated DuoDetect AI 3D navigation.
