iRobot Roomba 2026: The New Range Focuses on 30,000 Pa and Ultra-Compact Design
iRobot has unveiled the new generation of vacuum and mopping robots, Roomba, a range aimed at structural integration into modern home environments.
The keyword for this series is miniaturization: the company has reduced the overall volume of some models by up to 25% compared to the past, allowing devices to operate in spaces with a free height of only 9 cm. This way, the company responds to the need to reach critical spots under sofas and low furniture without sacrificing the internal components dedicated to navigation and suction.
The offer is segmented into three main tiers to cover every need for area and workload. The entry point is represented by the Roomba 115, an essential model designed for small apartments that offers a power of 15,000 Pa. Despite its positioning, it inherits the intelligent navigation logic necessary to move agilely among everyday obstacles, alongside the already known Roomba Mini.
iRobot Roomba: In the 2026 Range, Compact Design and Powers Up to 30,000 Pa
Moving up a level, the Roomba Plus range (models 415, 515, 575, 615, and 675 Combo) raises the performance bar with motors capable of generating between 20,000 and 30,000 Pa. These models are designed for more intense workflows, typical of homes with pets or large families. In particular, the 615 and 675 Combo models introduce an advanced washing system that combines a counter-rotating brush with a jet of pressurized hot water to soften dry stains through repeated passes.
The Roomba Max 715 and 775 models represent the technological peak of the series. Here, the power of 30,000 Pa is paired with enhanced filtration and specialized brushes that optimize hair collection. The 775 model, in particular, integrates the brand's most advanced roller washing system, ensuring deep cleaning even on wide and complex surfaces.
Environment mapping features a significant hardware upgrade with the introduction of ClearView LiDAR technology on models 415 and 515, guaranteeing millimeter precision and systematic room-by-room coverage. Higher-tier models, such as the 575 and the flagship 600 and 700 series, utilize the ClearView Pro LiDAR version aided by artificial intelligence algorithms for object recognition. This allows the robot to actively identify and avoid cables, shoes, and small unexpected obstacles on the floor, drastically reducing accidental blockages.
Regarding post-cleaning automation, the new AutoWash docks manage the entire maintenance cycle. In addition to emptying debris, the base cleans the components and roller with hot water and dries everything with a flow of warm air to prevent odors and bacteria formation. The system also includes specific anti-odor bags to keep the environment healthy.
The new iRobot Roomba 2026 range will hit the Italian market in the second half of 2026. The list price will start from a suggested price of €249 for the basic models, while specific details on the combo configurations and their respective AutoWash docks will be confirmed closer to the commercial launch.
