Overview
The Roomba Mini is a half-size Roomba, 24.5 cm across, designed first for Japanese homes and launched there in February 2026 before reaching the UK and Europe on 2026-03-10. It keeps lidar mapping and a small self-emptying dock that takes 33% less floor space than iRobot's usual docks, and mops by clipping on a disposable wipe. T3 found it good on hard floors but weak on carpet, with basic mopping and some connectivity problems. It sits below the Roomba 105 in size but not in features. iRobot has not announced a US launch, so it is sold only outside the US.
