Earlier this week, we heard that iRobot was scrapping almost its entire robot vacuum range and replacing it with four shiny new models. It's a bold move, but I think necessary, given how far iRobot was starting to lag behind the rest of the best robot vacuums on the market.
iRobot isn't pushing the envelope in the same way as the likes of Roborock, Dreame and Narwal; many of the new Roomba features are rather understated, or in some cases simply catch the brand up to a spot others reached years ago. However, I think the new fleet represents what most people want in a robot vacuum. And that's something other brands are in danger of losing sight of.
