I've seen 2027's new robot vacuums — here are 3 major trends set to level-up their cleaning, from drop-down suction boosters to… steam?
Next year's bots are leveling up in three big ways.
The robot vacuum market is experiencing rapid growth, with many brands introducing new models each year. At IFA 2026, key trends for 2027 models were evident. Three main themes emerged: stepping over obstacles, pre-treating stains, and enhancing suction.
