Summary
IFA 2026 brought iRobot’s Roomba Duo, a roughly 2-foot-tall concept that vacuums and steam-cleans, then deploys a smaller robot from its top for tight spaces.
The 66-lb base unit is designed for heavy-duty jobs that could replace stick or wet/dry vacuums, with extra size used to boost power and water-tank capacity.
In a show-floor demo, the full unit vacuumed spilled spaghetti from carpet and followed with steam cleaning, while the detachable companion bot handled cleaning under low furniture.
iRobot said the machine is a market test rather than a finished product, and gave no launch timing or price; any commercial version would likely exceed premium robovacs such as Dreame’s $1,700 X60 Max Ultra Complete.
