However, the impact on iRobot's bottom line will depend on production costs and market reception, especially given the company's recent financial challenges.
This product launch comes at a important time for iRobot, which has been facing financial headwinds and market pressure. The introduction of more advanced features in the affordable Essential lineup could help the company:

Roomba Combo® 2 Essential and Roomba® Vac 2 Essential give customers 2x cleaning power1 and 60 days of hands-free 2-in-1 cleaning with AutoEmpty™ dock
"Since introducing the first Roomba Essential series earlier this year, customers have praised the robots' ease-of-use and ability to keep their floors clean – at a great price," said Barry Schliesmann, chief product officer at iRobot. "With more power and the ability to save customers even more time by emptying its own debris, the Roomba Combo 2 Essential and Roomba Vac 2 Essential provide an unmatched combination of cleaning efficacy, reliability, simplicity and value."
Roomba Combo® 2 Essential – 2x Cleaning Power1, 60 Days Hands-Free
The Roomba Combo 2 Essential is designed with simplicity in mind, is easy to set up and includes all the features needed to keep floors clean. The robot cleans everyday messes with a 4-Stage Cleaning System that combines
With four levels of suction power and three levels of mopping water, the Roomba Combo 2 Essential effectively cleans all types of flooring and addresses a mix of customer cleaning needs, whether a gentle touch or a deeper clean is needed. Customers can choose to run a vacuum-only mission to clean both carpets and hard floors at the same time, or they can move their rugs out of the way to vacuum and wet mop in a single pass. The robot will clean for up to 120 minutes on a single charge, and when its battery is low, will automatically return to the AutoEmpty dock to recharge, resume and complete the cleaning task.
The AutoEmpty dock ensures a hassle-free cleaning experience and lets customers forget about vacuuming for up to two months, making it the ideal companion for busy households. When Roomba Combo 2 Essential finishes its cleaning job, the robot automatically empties the contents of its bin into a sealed bag that can hold up to 60 days' worth of dirt and debris. These advanced bags catch the tiniest of particles, as small as 0.7 microns, and when it's time to change a bag, it seals itself, preventing the mess of a dust cloud.
iRobot OS intelligence powers the Roomba Combo 2 Essential to work around ever-changing schedules. While customers can customize and automate their own cleaning routines, the robot is also able to recommend the best times to clean based on previous jobs. 'Clean While I'm Away' lets the Roomba Combo 2 Essential automatically start cleaning when a customer leaves home, letting them enjoy a cleaner home without doing a thing. Clean Map® Reports show where the robot has cleaned and displays details, such as coverage and duration for completed jobs, giving customers peace of mind the job was done.
