Do not call him return, unless you want, because it is so, but then, by the time you have read the complete story, you will find that maybe not … Irobot has removed the covers of a new alignment of robot robot vacuum cleaners.

The great news is that the new range, which includes 8 new models, presents Lidar navigation for the first time in the history of the brand.

Of course, we have had Lidar in the Chinese rivals of Irobot such as Roborock, Ecovacs, Eufy and Dreame for a decade or more now, with the tastes of Roborock Saros 10r and Qrevo Slim passing from Lidar to Starsight Autonomous Navigation; And Dreame has managed to hide his Lidida turret with the X50 ultra … but this is still a progress of the OG Robo Cleaner brand.

The new robes are very similar to the original Irobot models, but they have that tower at the top, which Irobot is calling “Clearview Lidar Navigation”.

The range also has auto-vacío springs, dust compactors on board and trapis in some models.

The new alignment begins from the Robot Vacba 105 empt of lower entrance, which costs only $ 299 (but in reality it has no lidar) and goes up to the flabbing plus robot combo 505 combo + autowash dock (yes, that is its real name), which costs $ 999.

The suction rating in the new models is 7,000PA, and although there is more in a robot vacuum than its suction force, that is quite average of 2025, to be honest.

Two years ago, I described the S8 rating of 6,000PA of Roborock as “huge” when it was launched in CES 2023.

Fast advance to CES 2025 we saw numerous models that reached 20,000PA or more, with Mova stealing the crown as the greatest fool with an amazing 24,000PA suction rating on its new flagship, the Mova V50 ultra.

Another new incorporation into the red mixture is the double rotation pads, as we have seen in the tastes of the Eureka J15 Pro and the Ecovacs Debot N30 OMNI. These can be found in the 505 Top-Dog, and also in the following model for the hierarchy, 405.

Irobot tell us that new cleaners will have modern colors, materials and finishes and that will go on sale on March 23 in North America and select European markets, directly from Irobot, early orders are opened on March 18.

All the good news then, it seems that Irobot has recovered from the collapse of Amazon’s acquisition. Or maybe not … JPT on the edge informs that the brand may not last another year.

Oh dear. However, still … Lidar navigation for victory.

We will be happy to hear your thoughts
