iRobot Unveils New Roomba Max 875 with SealForce Technology
At IFA 2026 in Berlin, iRobot introduced the Roomba Max 875 Combo, its latest flagship robot vacuum and mop. The $1,199 device features a new sealing system called SealForce that enhances carpet cleaning by directing airflow deeper into fibers using an adjustable skirt around the cleaning head. The product also includes lidar-based navigation, improved suction power of up to 35,000 Pa, and mopping capabilities with ThermaMist technology for stain pretreatment. A mid-range version, the Roomba Plus 678 Combo priced at $899, offers similar features but without some premium functions like ThermaMist. This launch marks iRobot's return to major trade shows under its new owner Picea Robotics and signals a competitive push in an evolving market where rivals such as Narwal and Dreame have already introduced sealing technologies.
