    What happened

    Its SealForce system drops a skirt to seal against carpet, and a heated roller mop handles hard floors.

    WatchingIndependent carpet tests against iRobot's three-times-deeper claim.

    Bottom line

    A documented release at $1,199; the carpet-cleaning gains are iRobot's own figures so far.

    Impact

    On autonomy

    • A lowered skirt seals the chassis against carpet during vacuuming.
    • DriLift raises the roller mop and lowers a shield when carpet is detected.
    • PerfectEdge cleaning uses an outward-expanding brush for corners, per a hands-on review.

    On readiness

    • MSRP is $1,199, the top of iRobot's current robot lineup.
    • Orderable from iRobot on September 2, 2026; retail later in September.
    • The AutoWash Dock is included; the robot does not climb stairs.

    Release

    Launch coverage on September 2, 2026 reported that iRobot had launched the Roomba Max 875 Combo Robot + AutoWash Dock as its new flagship at a $1,199 MSRP, available to order from iRobot as of September 2 and expected at retailers across North America later in September. A separate report covered the launch the same day and listed it at $1,199 at iRobot. The Roomba Plus 678 Combo, launched alongside it at $899, is a separate model.

    SealForce and suction

    Coverage describes SealForce as a chassis that lowers a dedicated skirt to seal against carpet fibers, paired with 20 L/s of airflow and 35,000 Pa of suction. Both reports cite iRobot’s claim of three times deeper carpet cleaning than without SealForce.

    Mopping

    Independent lab testing describes ThermaMist, an ultrasonic heated mist that softens dried residue, followed by the PowerSpin Max roller mop at 300 RPM with 18 newtons of downward pressure. DriLift lifts the roller and lowers a protective shield over carpet. The robot is 9.98 cm tall with a 3.5 cm threshold rating.
