Overview
The 2026 Roomba Plus range is the first lineup designed under Picea ownership, launched in the UK in May 2026 and in the US on 7 July 2026. The robots are up to 46% smaller than the Plus 505, with far higher suction, dual-line LiDAR and hot-water mop washing, which brings Roomba closer to Chinese all-in-one rivals. The Plus 415 and 515 skip the camera, the 575 adds PrecisionVision obstacle avoidance and 35 mm threshold climbing, and the 678 swaps the spinning pads for a heated roller mop with a pre-treatment spray. Smart-home support is thinner than the 2025 models so far, with no Matter listing yet. All four US models are on sale at iRobot and major retailers, often discounted by $100.
