iRobot Japan has recently announced an exciting collaboration with Kao Corporation's renowned home care brand, Magic Clean. This partnership has culminated in the launch of a new floor cleaner, designed specifically for iRobot's Roomba series. Set to hit shelves on April 18, 2025, the product—titled 'iRobot Floor Cleaner supported by Magic Clean'—will be available at all authorized iRobot retailers and on the official iRobot online store.
The launch of this innovative cleaner coincides with a significant refresh of iRobot's entire Roomba lineup, marking the company's largest redesign in its history. This endeavor is aimed at accelerating the adoption of robotic vacuum cleaners across Japan, which iRobot anticipates will solidify the Roomba's status as a household staple. As part of its ambitions, iRobot has set a mid-term goal of capturing a 20% share of the cleaning vacuum market by 2030, underscoring its commitment to innovation and accessibility in cleaning technology.
The new floor cleaner harnesses the cleaning expertise of both iRobot and Magic Clean, a brand that has long been synonymous with household cleanliness. According to iRobot Japan's CEO, Gen Hikita, the collaboration is expected to deliver new value to Roomba users, emphasizing the synergistic effect that emerges when a leading robotic vacuum intersects with a top cleaning solution. "We are very pleased to partner with a beloved brand like Kao's Magic Clean, which is used in homes across Japan. We believe this collaboration will not only enhance the cleaning capabilities of robotic vacuums but also support their faster adoption in domestic households," stated Hikita.
