  "account": "iRobot presented two new high-end robot vacuums at the IFA 2026 exhibition, the Roomba Max 875 and Roomba Plus 678. These models come with advanced features such as suction power reaching 35,000Pa and 30,000Pa respectively, and a system called SealForce Vacuuming Technology that claims to provide three times deeper carpet cleaning. Once the robot vacuums return to their docking station, they can empty the collected debris and clean the mop roller, which is extended to reach closer to walls and edges. The Max 875 also features a heated mist during mopping to help loosen dried-on spills, and a hair-cutting main brush to reduce hair wrapping around the brush. The Roomba Plus 678 has a lower price at $900, but lacks some of the Max 875's features such as the heated mist and the mop roller sealing mechanism. Both vacuums demonstrate the evolving capability of the Roomba lineup, which now includes miniature floor-cleaning systems that vacuum, scrub, wash themselves, and prepare for the next run with minimal user intervention.",
  "summary": "Roomba’s newest robot vacuums bring serious suction, smarter mopping, and docks that handle much of the dirty work for you.",
