iRobot's New Roomba Max 875 Combo Tackles Carpets With Sealed Suction
Bedford, Mass. – September 07, 2026 -- iRobot has launched the Roomba Max 875 Combo Robot + AutoWash Dock, priced at $1,199, alongside a cheaper sibling, the $899 Roomba Plus 678 Combo Robot + AutoWash Dock, both available now at irobot.com and arriving at North American retailers later this month.
A sealing skirt changes how the robot grips carpet
iRobot's new SealForce Vacuuming Technology lowers a skirt from the robot's chassis to form a tight seal against carpet fibers, concentrating airflow instead of letting it escape around the edges. The Max 875 pairs this with 20 L/s of airflow and 35,000 Pa of suction, which iRobot says delivers three times deeper carpet cleaning than vacuuming without SealForce."With SealForce, we're able to seal the chassis against the carpet fibers, so the airflow ... has somewhere to go instead of escaping around the edges," said Adam Pope, iRobot's Vice President and Chief Engineer.
