Bottom lineThe privacy feature is a dated promise, and the sale timing varied between reports.

Technical notes4 sectionsGlobal Launch
DJI presented the ROMO 2 series, the ROMO P2 and ROMO A2, at IFA 2026 in Berlin on September 3, 2026. The European price of the ROMO A2 water tank version was 1,199 euros.
Hardware Figures
Maker figures include 36,000 Pa suction, a 123 degree arm, obstacle climbing of up to 8.5 centimeters for double steps and a quiet mopping level as low as 38 dBA.
Local Data Mode
Launch coverage reported that the mode disconnects the app from the internet and stops image and video sync to outside servers when active. It was planned for the fourth quarter of 2026. Coverage linked it to a February 2026 security incident involving the first-generation ROMO. No source reviewed for this entry said that incident affected the ROMO A2.
Availability
Reports disagreed on the sale date, so the timing should be confirmed with the maker.
