Is the Eufy X8 Pro better than the Roomba i5+?

For many homes, the Eufy Clean X8 Pro is the better pick if you care most about mapping, navigation, and app-based control. It uses LiDAR-style navigation, which generally helps with faster mapping, better room-by-room control, and more reliable navigation in low light.

That said, “better” depends on what you value:

• Choose the Eufy X8 Pro if you want stronger mapping, no-go zones, and easier navigation features.
• Choose the Roomba i5+ if you want iRobot’s cleaning system and are mainly focused on its carpet and hair pickup style.

A few cautions:

• Exact app features can vary by region, firmware, and software version.
• Check the current specs for each model before buying, since feature sets can change over time.
• Real-world cleaning depends a lot on floor type, debris type, and maintenance, not suction numbers alone.

So, in general: Eufy X8 Pro for navigation and mapping; Roomba i5+ if you prefer iRobot’s brush-based cleaning approach and ecosystem.
