Designed for Japanese Living Environments
The “Roomba Mini Cleaner & Mop Robot + AutoEmpty Charging Station” was developed to meet the needs of compact Japanese living environments. Its body size is approximately half that of conventional Roomba models2, and it features an automatic dirt disposal function that eliminates the need for emptying for about three months3. Despite these features, its installation footprint is reduced by approximately 33% compared to standard robot vacuum cleaners4.
Key advantages of the Roomba Mini include its “small yet powerful” cleaning capabilities. It offers Power-Lifting Suction that is approximately 70 times stronger than past popular series5. Its compact size allows it to easily navigate under furniture and into narrow gaps, and its maneuverability is ideal for rooms with many objects on the floor. The minimalist design, which blends seamlessly with interiors, is also a notable feature, with the new “Sakura” and “Wakaba” colors reflecting current trends and Japanese aesthetics.
Overwhelming Market Response
Since the pre-sale of the white and black models on February 27 (Friday), the product has been highly acclaimed for its compact size, powerful cleaning performance, and accessible price point. Pre-orders on the iRobot official online store reached approximately 4.5 times the initial plan. Furthermore, the official subscription service “Robot Smart Plan+” experienced an unprecedented sell-out in just five days after its announcement. The product also garnered significant attention on official social media accounts, with impressions increasing by over 45 times compared to before the Roomba Mini’s announcement. In response to this demand, iRobot is actively working to expand its inventory.
Upcoming Model: Roomba Mini Slim
An additional model, the “Roomba Mini Slim Cleaner & Mop Robot + SlimCharge Charging Stand,” is scheduled for release on April 6 (Monday). This model allows the Roomba to be set up vertically, reducing the installation area by approximately 85% compared to conventional products4. It is an ideal choice for limited spaces such as one-room apartments or 1K layouts, making it suitable for those looking to introduce a Roomba into their new lifestyle.
Tsuyoshi Yamada, Representative Executive Officer and President of iRobot Japan, who initiated the Roomba Mini, commented, “We are extremely pleased that the Mini has received such an overwhelming response immediately after its announcement, and that it has been embraced by many people in Japan. With the launch of the new spring colors ‘Sakura’ and ‘Wakaba,’ we hope that even more people will experience the appeal of the Roomba Mini. iRobot will continue to contribute to the realization of a more comfortable and enriched life by providing products and services that truly meet consumer needs.”
