iRobot Unveils 8 New Roombas Post-Bankruptcy
12 May
Summary
- Eight new Roomba models offer significantly smaller designs.
- New Roombas can clean under furniture with minimal clearance.
- Models launch in the UK from £229 and in North America mid-2026.
iRobot, now under new ownership, has introduced eight new Roomba robot vacuum models, signaling a fresh start after its recent bankruptcy. A key feature across several new models is a reduced physical size, with some units up to 25% smaller than previous generations. This allows them to reach tight spaces, including areas with only 9 cm of clearance.
The new range includes compact options like the Roomba 115 (£229) and the even smaller Roomba Mini, designed for smaller homes or daily upkeep. For more demanding cleaning needs, the Roomba Plus series offers models that can vacuum and mop simultaneously, with suction power up to 30,000 Pa. Some higher-end models incorporate advanced AI visual recognition and LiDAR technology for enhanced navigation.
The new Roombas are rolling out in the UK with prices ranging from £229 to £799. Availability in North America is scheduled for mid-2026, with more specific pricing details to be announced. Top-tier models like the Roomba Max are positioned competitively against rivals, offering advanced features for robust cleaning performance.
