iRobot’s newest floor cleaner isn’t a robot

iRobot just announced its first-ever non-robot floor cleaner. the $399 Roomba Electro Plus It’s a 5-in-1 hard floor cleaner that combines vacuuming, mopping and mopping, but you have to operate it yourself. The company also announced updates to its line of Roomba robot vacuums, launching five new models with higher suction power, smaller footprints, and lower prices. These largely replace The line that arrived in 2025.

Designed specifically for hard floors, the new Electro Plus is similar to the new breed of wet and dry manual floor cleaners available from The dream, Roborocket al. The iRobot’s defining feature is Electro’s ability to convert regular tap water into a commercial disinfectant cleaning solution safe for children and pets simply by electrolysis.

The cordless vacuum/mop has a self-cleaning rotating mop and a motor to help propel it, reducing the amount of manual effort required. Its charging base washes and dries the mop after use with hot water and hot air, but you need to drain, clean and refill the water tank.

iRobot says the Electro Plus is something its customers have been asking for, and it fills a gap in their homes. “If they have a mess they want to clean up, they probably want to do it quickly with this type of portable product,” said Adam Pope, chief engineer and vice president of iRobot. Edge. “I personally love being able to sanitize my bathroom and kitchen with it and let the Roombas take care of the rest of the house.”

The main innovation of Electro Plus is that it does not require a separate cleaning solution. Instead, it uses electrolysis technology developed by Picea, iRobot’s parent company, which turns tap water into a commercial disinfecting solution capable of killing 99.9% of bacteria, viruses, fungi and other germs.
