After Bankruptcy, iRobot Steps Away From Robot Vacuums

iRobot launched the Roomba Electro Plus on July 7, 2026—a hand-held mop that costs $400 and uses electricity to turn regular tap water into a cleaning liquid. The move marks iRobot's shift away from robot vacuums, its core business for 25 years, as the company rebuilds after a December 2025 bankruptcy and seeks new markets.
