Jonathan Feist / Android Authority

You know how some brands have super confusing product naming strategies? iRobot’s line of Roomba robot vacuums will be much easier to understand from today onward. The company will be focusing on three main product classes, with easy to understand indicators for which machines vacuum your floors, and which include mopping functionality.

Better yet, the new line of bots launching today include premium features from the base model and up. If you’ve been considering buying a Roomba, there’s more than a few brand new options that are worth your consideration, starting at very comfortable prices.

Base Roomba models – Including premium features like LiDAR, these reliable cleaning machines will be ideal for most users, able to clean the average home with ease.

“Plus” models – With expanded cleaning capabilities, these will be the ideal robot vacuums for tougher to clean environments, and for those looking for greater capacities of dust and water storage.

“Max” models – iRobot’s top Roomba line. These flagship devices will include the very best features and capabilities, along with a refined build for the discerning user.

From there, look for add-ons to any of the bots.

“Combo” models – Simply include mopping functionality. This includes flat mop pads, rotating mop heads, and more.

“AutoEmpty Dock” – As the name implies, many Roomba vacuums are available as stand-alone robots, or can be paired with a base station that stores debris and supplies a charge for your device.

“AutoWash Dock” – For some Combo bots, an accompanying base station adds dry debris storage and water storage with mop washing functionality.

All of the following Roomba robot vacuums will be available for sale on March 18, 2025.
