At IFA Berlin 2026, companies like Anker (Eufy Omni E35) and Ecovacs (Deebot X12S Omnicyclone) showcased robot vacuums specifically certified to remove dust mites and allergens, with third-party testing backing their claims. Overall, the show felt quieter than previous years, with fewer wild concept reveals and more focus on refining existing product lines like the Saros Rover and Dreame Cyber X.
At IFA Berlin, iRobot demonstrated a prototype called the Roomba Duo, a wet-cleaning robot mothership that carries a smaller Roomba vacuum and lowers it onto the floor using a mechanical arm. In the demo, the main unit cleaned a spaghetti spill with steam and suction, then deployed the smaller robot to reach narrow spaces and corners it couldn't access. iRobot's chief engineer Adam Pope said the device is currently just a concept exploring ways to combine heavy-duty wet cleaning with nimble vacuuming.
iRobot showed off a concept robot called the Roomba Duo at IFA in Berlin, pairing a powerful floor-washing base unit with a smaller Roomba Plus 757 that lowers via a mechanical arm to clean tight spots like under tables. The base handles vacuuming, steam-mopping with 46 newtons of pressure, and holds clean and dirty water tanks plus a dust bag, using lidar and cameras to navigate and map homes.
