iRobot Introduces Eight New Roombas with Lidar Navigation and Redesigned Features

The largest product launch in iRobot's history includes budget-friendly models and advanced cleaning capabilities to compete in a crowded market.

iRobot's new lineup features eight Roomba models, priced from $299 to $999, with preorders starting March 18 on iRobot's website.
For the first time, iRobot is incorporating lidar navigation and mapping, enabling faster and more precise room mapping and cleaning zones across all models.
The flagship $999 Roomba Plus 505 Combo Robot includes dual spinning mop pads, AI-powered obstacle detection, and a multifunction dock with heated mop drying.
Budget models like the Roomba 105 and 205 series now include lidar-based mapping, ultrasonic carpet detection, and optional auto-empty or dust compactor features.
A revamped iRobot app will offer real-time cleaning views and enhanced control, while all models retain compatibility with major smart home platforms like Alexa and Google Home.
