Roomba Repair and Warranty in 2026: Who Fixes Roombas Now

iRobot still sells and supports the Roomba. It went through a court-supervised Chapter 11 sale and has been privately owned by Picea, its main manufacturer, since January 2026. Its chief executive said in December 2025 that warranties would be honored. Under warranty, start with iRobot. Out of warranty, the realistic options are a protection plan if you bought one, an independent mail-in repair shop, or replacing worn parts yourself.

Last reviewed: October 2026. Ownership details come from iRobot’s own announcements, and warranty terms from iRobot’s published limited warranty.

What changed at iRobot

December 14, 2025: iRobot started a pre-packaged Chapter 11 process in Delaware. Picea, its secured lender and primary contract manufacturer, was to take 100% of the company.
The same announcement said iRobot would keep operating with no anticipated disruption to app functionality or ongoing product support.
December 22, 2025: iRobot’s chief executive told TechRadar, “The app is working, the warranties are going to be honored,” and said firmware updates would continue.
January 23, 2026: iRobot announced that the sale was complete and that it is now a privately held company wholly owned by Picea.

None of these announcements says anything specific about repair service or the supply of spare parts.

What the Roomba warranty covers

Length: one year from the date of purchase, for robots bought from iRobot or an authorized seller.
Battery: iRobot publishes more than one version of its warranty. One gives the battery the full year, two others give it six months, and the UK version excludes it. Normal battery wear is excluded in all of them. See Roomba warranty: what the documents say.
Not covered: consumables such as filters and brushes, normal wear and tear, accidents and misuse, and damage caused by poor packing when the robot is shipped.
Remedy: iRobot chooses whether to repair the robot, replace a part, or exchange it.
To claim: contact iRobot or its local distributor with the serial number and the original proof of purchase.

The same warranty recommends replacing filters every 2 months, brushes every 6 to 12 months, and the caster wheel every 12 months. Those parts are the owner’s cost.

iRobot Protect plans

iRobot sells extended plans, called Protect and Protect+, that start when the one-year warranty ends. iRobot says they cover mechanical and electrical failures caused by defects or power surges, and replace the battery if it no longer holds a charge under the manufacturer’s guidelines. The plans are obligated by Extend, Inc., are sold in the United States and Canada, and come with a 60-day money-back guarantee. iRobot’s plan page does not list prices or plan lengths.

Out-of-warranty repair

Replace parts yourself. Brushes, filters, side brushes, and batteries are sold as replacement parts for owners to fit.
Mail-in repair. Independent shops repair Roombas by mail. iFixRobot, for example, lists repairs for the s, j, i, 900, e, 800, 700, 600, and 500 series, offers free diagnostics, can send a box and shipping label, and backs repairs with a 200-day warranty. Its site does not say it is authorized by iRobot.
Replace the robot. Compare any repair quote with the price of a new robot before agreeing to it.

For shipping costs and how to compare quotes, see the robot vacuum repair guide.

Frequently asked questions

Will the Roomba app keep working?

iRobot said in December 2025 that it expected no disruption to app functionality, and its chief executive said the app and firmware updates would continue. That was the company’s position at the time of the sale.
