- Multi-room mapping and no-mop zones operational via iRobot app
- Conditional Autonomy (Level III) classification holds at release
Impact on readiness
- UK retail channel confirmed; US availability pending at launch
- App-based scheduling and virtual zone setup required before first clean
- Owner-report data sparse; readiness status carried as promising-progress

30,000Pa suction handles any floor typeManufacturer specs list 30,000Pa peak. Owner reports on high-pile shag and edge-case surfaces are limited due to June 2026 launch date.Hot-water dock eliminates manual mopping effortDock automates hot-spray and mop-pad wash. Owner-reported dock failure modes (mineral deposit buildup, water circulation errors) are not yet documented at scale.Camera navigation works throughout multi-floor homesvSLAM mapping performs well in iRobot-documented conditions. Performance in low-light or frequently rearranged rooms requires post-launch owner confirmation.Setup is straightforward for any homeDock requires permanent AC power, fixed floor placement, and initial mapping cycle. No-mop zone configuration adds setup steps versus vacuum-only models.Bottom lineCommercial availability is confirmed; real-world dock reliability and owner satisfaction data require a 60-90 day accumulation period.

AutonomyL3 capabilities expandedReadinessPromising progress strengthenedScoreScores pending launchThe announcement positioned the product against LiDAR-equipped competitors on cleaning performance rather than navigation architecture. Confirmed retail availability and owner-level dock reliability are the signals that determine whether the positioning holds.
Impact on autonomy
- Camera vSLAM navigation retained; no LiDAR added despite flagship tier
- AI obstacle detection cited in announcement materials as capability upgrade
- Level III Conditional Autonomy classification expected at launch
Impact on readiness
- UK availability confirmed in announcement; US channel details to follow
- Hot-water dock introduced as differentiating feature versus prior combo lineup
