iRobot is back with a new standard for robotic cleaning in 2026

May 4, 2026
Slimmer design, integrated LiDAR and an all-new lineup – created for modern Nordic homes

iRobot is marking a clear shift in robotic cleaning in 2026. The pioneer behind Roomba® – and one of the world’s most recognized robot vacuum brands – is introducing a new lineup that proves iRobot continues to deliver unique innovation in intelligent cleaning. Across Nordic retailers, interest is already building, and expectations for the new lineup are high.

The Nordics are a priority

As part of the launch of the new 2026 lineup, representatives from iRobot visited Witt Denmark A/S in Denmark – a clear signal that the Nordic region plays an important role in iRobot’s global strategy.

For Witt Denmark A/S, responsible for iRobot distribution in the Nordics, the visit underscores the close collaboration and shared ambition to bring intelligent cleaning solutions even closer to consumers in the region.

Lighter, smarter, more intuitive

Richard Li, CEO of iRobot – representing the technology behind iRobot’s next generation of robots – shares the philosophy behind the 2026 lineup:

“Our focus has been clear: to make our robots simpler and better to use in everyday life. A lighter and slimmer design makes them easier to handle and integrate into the home, while also improving energy efficiency. At the same time, we’ve worked with a modern, minimalist design philosophy where functionality and aesthetics go hand in hand, making the products a natural part of the home environment.”

Designed for Nordic homes

The new 2026 lineup is up to 25% slimmer than previous generations – measuring as low as 79 mm in height – allowing the robots to clean under low sofas and beds where dust and debris typically accumulate.

This compact design has not come at the expense of performance. ClearView™ LiDAR technology is integrated directly into the robot, enabling precise mapping and intelligent navigation – even under low furniture and around obstacles – combined with powerful suction and advanced edge cleaning.

The result is simple: the robots are not just smaller – they are better. With a modern, minimalist design, they are created to blend naturally into Nordic homes – a robot designed to be seen, not hidden away.

“Confidence in iRobot is stronger than ever, and the new 2026 lineup shows exactly why. These are robots designed for real life – for Nordic homes, busy schedules, and consumers who expect the best. Elegant design, precise navigation, and features that simply work. We look forward to seeing them enter homes across the Nordics and take over a task that many don’t have time for – but everyone wants solved,” says Mikkel Pedersen, Product Manager at Witt Denmark A/S.

Something big is coming on May 12

Roomba® 115 is the first visible step in what iRobot is bringing to market in 2026 – but it is only the beginning.

On May 12, iRobot will unveil the next phase of its new lineup, further demonstrating that iRobot is not only back – but ready to help define the future of robotic cleaning. With more than 35 years of experience and over 50 million robots sold worldwide, iRobot is building on a strong foundation and taking the next step forward.

Availability

Roomba® 115 Combo and Roomba® 115 Combo + AutoEmpty™ Dock are the first models in iRobot’s new 2026 lineup. They will launch on April 27, 2026, with expected availability at retailers in June/July 2026.
