iRobot’s new flagship robot pairs proprietary SealForce^™ Vacuuming Technology with Dual-Action Heated Mopping System to deliver the ultimate pro-level clean

The Roomba^® Max 875 Combo Robot + AutoWash^™ Dock delivers iRobot’s most complete hands-free clean, combining active SealForce^™ Vacuuming Technology with 20 L/s tornado-like airflow and 5x more suction power¹, plus ultrasonic ThermaMist^™ heated-mist mopping with the industry’s largest roller mop, and patented DriLift^™ Technology self-lifting roller shield.
The new Roomba^® Plus 678 Combo Robot + AutoWash^™ Dock pairs active SealForce^™ Vacuuming Technology with SprayForce AI Mopping, our first 2-step roller mopping system that both pretreats and removes tough stains.

BEDFORD, Mass., Sept. 2, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — iRobot Corp., the maker of Roomba, and a leader in consumer robotics and intelligent floor care, today introduced the Roomba^® Max 875 Combo Robot + AutoWash^™ Dock, its most advanced Roomba^® robot to date, alongside the Roomba^® Plus 678 Combo Robot + AutoWash^™ Dock. Both robots bring new and advanced technologies to market, led by iRobot’s proprietary active SealForce^™ Vacuuming Technology, which changes how a robot vacuum concentrates airflow and suction power for deeper carpet cleaning.

The Roomba^® Max 875 Combo Robot delivers the company’s best floor cleaning performance to date, applying more than 35 years of robotics engineering to the aspects of floor care that today’s consumer demands: deep carpet cleaning, dried-on mess removal, and rug protection while mopping.

At the forefront of these advancements is iRobot’s proprietary SealForce^™ Vacuuming Technology, a mechanical rethinking of how a robot vacuum meets carpet. Rather than relying on suction alone, the chassis lowers a skirt that forms a tight seal against carpet fibers, concentrating vacuuming power precisely where debris hides. Paired with 20 L/s of tornado-like airflow and 35,000 Pa suction, SealForce^™ delivers 3x deeper carpet cleaning² and iRobot’s best pickup performance to date.

“With the Roomba^® Max 875 Combo Robot, we not only increased overall suction power, but also changed how that suction gets applied to the carpet,” said Adam Pope, Vice President and Chief Engineer, iRobot. “With SealForce^™, we’re able to seal the chassis against the carpet fibers, so the airflow, which has the greatest impact on pickup performance, has somewhere to go instead of escaping around the edges. More suction helps, but the seal is what takes it to a level beyond what’s previously been possible.”

The Roomba^® Max 875 Combo Robot applies this same consumer-driven, problem-first engineering to mopping. iRobot’s ultrasonic ThermaMist^™ Technology sprays heated mist continuously while mopping, softening and loosening dried-on spills so tough stains lift in a single cleaning routine, with no manual scrubbing, for 2x better stain removal³. iRobot’s new continuously self-cleaning PowerSpin^™ Max Roller Mop, the industry’s largest, then scrubs with heated water at 300 RPM roller speed and 18 Newtons of downward pressure for 3.75x deeper scrubbing⁴ and 1.2x wider coverage per pass⁵.

Finally, the Roomba^® Max 875 Combo Robot features iRobot’s patented, AI-powered DriLift^™ Technology, which automatically detects carpet, raises the mop and lowers a protective shield to keep rugs and carpets dry throughout the clean.

“iRobot pioneered this category more than two decades ago, and more than 50 million robots later, we continue to define its future,” said Jennifer Lichtenheim, Senior Vice President and General Manager, Americas, iRobot. “With the Roomba^® Max 875 Combo Robot, we’ve delivered our most advanced robot to date, delivering the ultimate clean, completely hands-free. And, importantly, we’ve addressed critical pain points consumers have told us they want us to solve for. We’re continuing to push home robotics further, so people can spend less time cleaning and more time doing what they love.”

Alongside the Roomba^® Max 875 Combo Robot, iRobot also introduces the Roomba^® Plus 678 Combo Robot + AutoWash^™ Dock. Also built on proprietary active SealForce^™ Vacuuming Technology, which seals the chassis against carpet fibers for 3x deeper carpet cleaning², the Roomba^® Plus 678 Combo Robot features a hands-free, 2-step heated mopping system, with iRobot’s SprayForce AI pre-treatment delivering a concentrated 40,000 Pa burst of high-pressure spray to break down stubborn residue, before the self-cleaning PowerSpin^™ roller mop scrubs with heated water and 15 Newtons of downward pressure, improving mopping efficiency by up to 40%⁶.
