ZDNET’s comparison found Roborock the better overall buy, citing a stronger app, more consistent navigation and broader obstacle avoidance across models.
Lab suction results were close: Roborock averaged 62.3% sand pickup versus Ecovacs at 60.1%, suggesting cleaning performance alone is not a decisive separator.
Ecovacs stood out in mopping, with rotating and roller systems removing dried spills more effectively, while some Deebot models also beat Roborock units on obstacle avoidance.
