iRobot announced its first manually operated floor cleaner, the $399 Roomba Electro Plus, a 5‑in‑1 hard-floor cleaner that vacuums, mops, and sanitizes using electrolyzed tap water, eliminating the need for a separate cleaning solution, while also introducing five cheaper, smaller Roomba robot vacuums with higher suction, lidar navigation, and AI obstacle detection; preorder begins July 7.
