Last year, we reinvented our iRobot® Research & Development Labs, and these robots are the result of our world class engineers' and designers' brilliance."
A customer-first product naming hierarchy was created to drive portfolio clarity and distinction, making Roomba® robots the easy choice for every cleaning preference. All new robots feature increased suction, improved navigation and fast mapping with ClearView™Lidar Navigation, and select models feature PrecisionVision™ AI Technology. In addition to improved mopping, all robots feature automatic carpet detection and avoidance and object sensing and avoidance capabilities.
The 2025 lineup, available across North America and select European markets beginning on March 18, includes the Roomba® 105 Vac Robot series, featuring 70x more power-lifting suction*, the Roomba® 205 DustCompactor™ Vac Robot and Roomba® 205 DustCompactor™ Combo Robot that devours dirt while the industry-leading DustCompactor™ innovation packs away debris for months, the Roomba® Plus 405 Combo Robot + AutoWash™ Dock that boasts intense suction, deep scrubbing and a maintenance-free dock, and the Roomba® Plus 505 Combo Robot + AutoWash™ Dock, featuring PerfectEdge® Technology to get deep into corners, a hands-free multi-function dock that automatically empties debris, washes and heat-dries mop pads and self-cleans when finished.
In addition to the new technology, the robots feature modern colors, materials, and finishes. According to Insun Hong, Director of Industrial Design at iRobot, "The products' appearance is warm and approachable. They will look completely organic within everyone's home aesthetic or décor."
In addition to the new products, iRobot is also launching a comprehensive marketing campaign featuring new advertising and the tag line, "Roomba. Made for This". The campaign will be featured on television, digital streaming platforms and across social media. New packaging is also part of the new Roomba® look and feel.
