Summary
Five new Roomba robot vacuums went on sale in the U.S. on July 7, marking iRobot’s first domestic robot launch since its December bankruptcy filing and sale to Picea Robotics.
All five models include auto-emptying docks and list at $1,000 or less, led by the $1,000 Roomba Max 775 Combo with LiDAR mapping, camera-based obstacle avoidance and a mop-washing dock.
Three other mop-capable models span $600 to $800—the Plus 575, Plus 515 and Plus 415—while the $700 Max 715 is a vacuum-only model with dual anti-tangle rollers.
The new lineup reflects iRobot’s post-Picea push to compete in a crowded market with lower-priced, feature-heavy machines; all models are available now on iRobot’s website.
