Technical notes2 sectionsPrice History
Robovations’ own price-history series for the iRobot Roomba Plus 415 Combo (WordPress record 10198) recorded a lowest observed price of $679.99 on September 15, 2026. The next recorded observation, on September 30, 2026, put the lowest observed price at $398.00, a decline of about 41 percent over roughly two weeks. The series is first-party and append-only: each entry is a point-in-time observation of the record’s lowest tracked price, not a projection or an average, and the record is reachable through the site’s own price-history endpoint for this item.
What This Does Not Change
This entry is commercial and lateral: it records a retail price movement, not a change to the machine’s documented capability, autonomy classification, or consumer readiness status. No firmware, hardware, or feature change accompanies this observation. The next price observation in the series will show whether the lower figure holds, reverts toward the prior level, or moves again.
