iRobot Roomba 104 Vac vs eufy C10 Robot Vacuum

The eufy C10 Robot Vacuum is a strong value option with powerful 4,000Pa suction and a very slim profile, while the iRobot Roomba 104 (also known as the Roomba 105, as the 104 is an Amazon exclusive version) offers a reliable brand experience with strong raw suction specs. Both are single-function vacuum-only robots that come with an auto-empty dock, but the Eufy is better at hair pickup and is more efficient in its navigation, while the Roomba is known for great overall cleaning effectiveness.

eufy C10 Robot Vacuum

Our top pick for this comparison

For most users, the eufy C10 Robot Vacuum offers a better set of features and performance for its price point. Its superior efficiency in navigation, slimmer design (2.85 inches vs 4.1 inches for the Roomba), better pet hair handling on the brush roller, and lower price often give it the edge in value comparisons.

The iRobot Roomba 104 is a solid alternative if you are a dedicated iRobot brand loyalist and find it at a significantly lower price than the Eufy C10. While it may have slightly higher raw suction specs, the Eufy often outperforms it in real-world deep cleaning and pet hair tests.
