DJI Launches Romo 2 Robovac with Enhanced Obstacle Climbing, Quiet Operation, and Improved Privacy Features
DJI has unveiled its second-generation Romo robot vacuum cleaner at IFA 2026. The new models—Romo P2 and A2—are designed to be quieter by 85%, more powerful in suction (up to 36,000Pa on carpet), and better equipped with obstacle navigation capabilities that include avoiding small objects as tiny as 2mm and climbing over steps up to 4cm high. The Romo 2 also features advanced AI learning for improved adaptability during cleaning tasks. A major focus of the update is privacy, addressing concerns from the first-generation model's security vulnerabilities. DJI introduced a new 'Local Data Mode' that disconnects the device from internet-based apps and allows users to disable cameras and microphones entirely. This mode aims to prevent unauthorized access to home data and will be available in Q4 2026 for Romo 2, with potential rollout to earlier models. However, a U.S. launch is unlikely due to existing restrictions on foreign-made robot vacuums under the FCC's new regulations.
