iRobot has launched its 2025 lineup of Roomba robot vacuums, introducing four new models with premium features at lower prices. The Roomba 205 DustCompactor, which compresses debris, offers 60 days of hands-free maintenance without a separate dock. The new models include lidar navigation for better obstacle detection and increased suction power. Entry-level and midtier models now feature capabilities previously exclusive to higher-end versions, enhancing overall performance and user experience. The Roomba Home app will also be updated to simplify cleaning routines and provide real-time updates on the robot's status. The new lineup will be available for presale in North America starting March 18.
