## Verdict

A capable 2026 Roomba with LiDAR, a roller mop and a hot wash dock that needs attention only about every 90 days, and at $799.99 it now sits in the midrange. Reviewers split: Gizmodo and Xataka liked its vacuuming and mopping, while Tom's Guide found it loud, prone to scattering debris and leaving mop residue. Skip it if you need it to fit under low furniture or want the quietest robot.

## Questions buyers ask

### Is iRobot still in business after the bankruptcy?

Yes. iRobot exited Chapter 11 on 2026-01-23 as a private company owned by Picea, and said apps, customer programs and product support continue.

### How often do I change the dock bag?

iRobot says each carbon bag lasts about 3 months. A 3 pack costs $24.99 on the iRobot US store.

### Will the wet mop soak my rugs?

A cover flips over the roller on carpet, though Gizmodo saw it mop part of a rug until a no mop zone was added.
