Summary
$1,200 Roomba Max 875 and $900 Roomba Plus 678 are now on sale, adding two more premium models to iRobot’s refreshed lineup after five launches in July.
35,000Pa on the Max 875 and 30,000Pa on the Plus 678 pair with iRobot’s SealForce system, which the company says cleans carpets three times deeper than Roombas without it.
The Max 875 pushes further into hands-off cleaning: its dock empties debris, washes the roller mop with 176F water, refills water and solution, and the robot uses heated mist plus a hair-cutting brush.
The $900 Plus 678 keeps the extending roller mop and object-avoiding LiDAR-plus-camera navigation, but swaps heated mist for high-pressure spray and drops the Max 875’s carpet-sealing mop cover.
The launch underscores how Roomba’s top end is shifting from simple vacuuming to near-autonomous floor care as iRobot tries to match increasingly ambitious rivals.
