iRobot's Roomba is the single most-searched robot-vacuum brand in the US, but the lineup shoppers are searching for in 2026 is not the one they remember. After iRobot went into administration in 2025 and was acquired by China's Picea in February 2026, the company retired most of the old alphanumeric names (the i-, j- and s-series) and moved to a simpler tiered numbering: 105, 205, 405, 505, 705. This guide lists the current models with their prices as shown on iRobot.com in July 2026, and explains what each tier actually buys.
Roomba price range at a glance
Prices below are iRobot.com list prices captured in July 2026. iRobot is running heavy, near-permanent discounts on several models, so the "typical" street price is often well under the original MSRP — both figures are shown where they differ.
| Model | Type | Price (July 2026) |
|---|---|---|
| Roomba 105 Vac + AutoEmpty Dock | Vacuum only | $279.99 (from $449.99) |
| Roomba Plus 405 Combo + AutoWash Dock | Vacuum + mop, self-wash | $399.99 (from $799.99) |
| Roomba 105 Combo + AutoEmpty Dock | Vacuum + mop | $469.99 |
| Roomba 205 DustCompactor Combo | Vacuum + mop, compacting bin | $469.99 |
| Roomba Max 705 Combo + AutoWash Dock | Vacuum + mop, self-wash | $1,299.99 |
| Roomba Combo 10 Max + AutoWash Dock | Flagship vacuum + mop | $1,399.99 |
That is a real spread of roughly $280 to $1,400, and the discounting means the mid-tier is where the value currently sits.
What each tier buys
Entry tier — Roomba 105 (around $280-$470)
The 105 Vac at $279.99 is the cheapest way into the current Roomba line: navigation, app control and an auto-empty dock, without mopping. Step up to the 105 Combo ($469.99) and you add a mopping pad. This tier is aimed at hard floors and smaller homes where dock self-washing is not essential.
Mid tier — Roomba Plus 405 and 205 (around $400-$470)
The Roomba Plus 405 Combo is the standout on price right now: at $399.99 (down from $799.99) it includes an AutoWash dock that rinses the mop pad automatically — a feature that normally lives in the premium tier. The 205 DustCompactor Combo ($469.99) trades the wash dock for a bin that compacts debris so you empty it less often. For most US buyers, this band is the sweet spot.
Premium tier — Roomba Max 705 and Combo 10 Max ($1,300-$1,400)
The Max 705 Combo ($1,299.99) and the flagship Combo 10 Max ($1,399.99) bundle the full self-maintaining dock experience — auto-empty, mop self-wash and dry — for buyers who want the machine to run for weeks untouched. The premium here is largely the dock, not the robot.
The Picea acquisition — what it means for buyers
The most important 2026 development is not a model, it is ownership. iRobot is now owned by Picea, a Chinese technology group, and has said it will operate "as before" with no changes to existing models or support. Practically, that puts iRobot into the same manufacturing ecosystem as the Chinese brands it competes with — Roborock, Ecovacs, Dreame and Narwal — which increasingly set the pace on features per dollar. If you are cross-shopping, it is worth reading our robot vacuum brand comparison alongside this guide, because at the $400-$500 band a Roomba and a flagship Chinese unit now overlap heavily on capability.
Buying and sourcing notes
For a single home unit, buy from iRobot.com or a major US retailer and wait for one of the frequent promotions — paying full original MSRP on a discounted model is the most common mistake. For resellers or bulk buyers evaluating private-label or OEM alternatives, the cleaning-robot category is one of the most competitive to source from China; our cleaning robot sourcing overview covers how the OEM landscape maps to the retail brands.
