The Eufy 11S Max sits exactly 2.85 inches tall, allowing it to clear low-clearance couches that trap the taller 3.54-inch Roomba 675. If your home has low-slung furniture, that half-inch difference matters more than any Wi-Fi capability. After running both vacuums through a month of daily cleaning cycles, the divide is clear. The Roomba 675 uses dual multi-surface brushes to pull embedded pet hair from medium-pile carpets, while the Eufy relies on 2000 Pa of raw suction to clear hard floors at a whisper-quiet 55 decibels.
Best for Low Furniture
9/10
At $149.99, the 11S Max delivers 2000 Pa of suction for exceptional hard-floor cleaning and a 2.85-inch profile that slides under media consoles without forcing you to use a smartphone app.
Best for Carpets
9/10
For $139.99, the Roomba 675 provides reliable Wi-Fi connectivity, voice control, and acoustic dirt detection that triggers multiple passes over high-traffic carpets until the floor is actually clean.
Eufy 11S Max
Where the Eufy 11S Max Excels
- Operates at a quiet 55 decibels, allowing you to run cycles while watching television
- Runs for up to 100 minutes on hard floors before needing a recharge
- BoostIQ technology automatically increases suction to 2000 Pa when transitioning to rugs
- Tempered glass top resists the heavy scuffing common on plastic-bodied vacuums
iRobot Roomba 675
Where the iRobot Roomba 675 Excels
- iRobot Home app and voice assistant integration allow remote scheduling and control
- Acoustic Dirt Detect sensors identify concentrated debris and force localized deep cleaning
- Dual multi-surface brush rolls actively agitate and lift pet hair from medium-pile carpets
- Thick plastic bumper effectively absorbs impacts from baseboards and chair legs
Eufy 11S Max
Where the Eufy 11S Max Falls Short
- Lacks Wi-Fi connectivity, meaning you cannot schedule cleanings from your phone
- Relies entirely on an infrared remote control that requires line-of-sight
- Single bristle brush roll struggles to agitate deep carpet fibers compared to dual-brush systems
iRobot Roomba 675
Where the iRobot Roomba 675 Falls Short
- Noticeably louder operation makes it disruptive to run while you are in the same room
- Taller 3.54-inch profile frequently gets wedged under low-slung couches and cabinets
- Battery caps out at 90 minutes, which may not cover larger open-concept floor plans
Design & Build Quality
The Eufy 11S Max’s 2.85-inch height easily clears standard media consoles and low sofas. Its tempered glass top resists the scuffs that quickly accumulate on plastic vacuums. The Roomba 675 sits taller at 3.54 inches, meaning it wedges itself under low-clearance furniture if you fail to measure your couch height. However, the Roomba’s thick plastic bumper absorbs hard impacts better than the Eufy’s rigid front end. You control the Eufy entirely via an included infrared remote, while the Roomba relies heavily on the iRobot Home app for scheduling.
Features & Performance
The Eufy 11S Max runs at just 55 decibels—quiet enough to use while you watch TV. It easily outlasts the Roomba on hard floors, clocking 100 minutes of runtime and utilizing 2000 Pa of suction to capture fine dust. However, the Roomba 675 dominates on carpets thanks to its dual multi-surface brush rolls. Its acoustic Dirt Detect sensors actively find concentrated debris, forcing the vacuum to make multiple passes over muddy entryway rugs. The Roomba also offers Alexa and Google Assistant support, letting you start a cycle from anywhere.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can the Eufy 11S Max map my house?
No. The Eufy 11S Max uses bounce navigation, meaning it moves in straight lines until it hits an obstacle, then changes direction. It does not create or save a floor plan.
Does the Roomba 675 work without Wi-Fi?
Yes. You can start a basic cleaning cycle by pressing the physical “Clean” button on the top of the unit, but you will lose access to scheduling and remote activation.
Conclusion: Our Final Verdict
Measure the clearance under your lowest couch. If it sits below 3.6 inches, buy the Eufy 11S Max to avoid daily rescue missions. Otherwise, grab the Roomba 675 for superior carpet agitation. Check current pricing below.
