iRobot Brings Roomba Mini to Europe and the UK
The compact robot follows an earlier Japanese launch.
News date:

iRobot brought Roomba Mini to the United Kingdom and Europe on March 10, 2026, following an earlier Japanese introduction. The regional launch priced the Robot Vacuum & Mop package with AutoEmpty Dock at EUR 399 and GBP 379 through the company's online channels.
The compact machine was developed with smaller Japanese homes in mind. iRobot said its size also suited European layouts, where narrow gaps and low furniture can limit the reach of larger cleaners. The range was offered in pink, mint, white and black.
Roomba Mini uses ClearView LiDAR navigation and can avoid rugs while mopping. Its mopping arrangement uses disposable pads, while the dock automatically transfers collected debris into a bag. The company describes the bag capacity as up to three months under its usage assumptions. Cleaning can be started through the app, a compatible voice assistant or the robot's button without a Wi-Fi connection.
The March announcement established the European rollout rather than the product's first global appearance: iRobot said Japan had launched it in mid-February. For retail comparisons, the compact footprint, disposable-pad mopping and automatic dust emptying define this package more clearly than treating it as a smaller version of every other Roomba.
