Roomba Warranty: Length, Battery Coverage, and How to Claim

A Roomba warranty is one year in the three US retailer copies we found, and two years in iRobot’s UK version. The battery is the part that varies: one document covers it for the full year, two others cover it for six months, and the UK version excludes it. iRobot does not publish a single warranty, so the copies we could open differ. All of them exclude filters, brushes, and other consumables, require your serial number and original proof of purchase, and cover only the country where you bought the robot. Check the warranty that came with your robot before you rely on any one number.

Last reviewed: October 2026. None of the warranty documents we found shows an issue date, and the two we read at retailers are copies, not pages on irobot.com. Terms for iRobot’s Protect plans come from iRobot’s own FAQ pages.

The versions we found

Version A (QVC, document V57320, issued by iRobot Corporation): one year from purchase for the robot, with the battery included in that year. It says Canada and North America receive combined support.
Version B (QVC “iRobot Limited Warranty,” code WC:4412377): one year for the robot, excluding batteries, and six months for batteries.
Version C (Lowe’s copy, same code WC:4412377): the same terms as Version B.
Version D (iRobot UK Ltd, for units bought outside Germany, France, and Poland): two years from purchase. Batteries, accessories, and consumables are not covered.

We cannot tell from these documents which one applies to a given robot. The terms say the warranty is valid only in the country of purchase, so the version that came in your box, or the one on the support page for your country, is the one that counts.

What the versions share

Remedy: iRobot decides whether to repair the robot, exchange it, or in some versions exchange it for a newer model.
Repaired parts: a repaired or replaced part is covered for the rest of the original period or 90 days, whichever is longer. A repair, replacement, or resale does not extend the original period.
Serial number: the warranty is void if the serial number is removed, altered, or unreadable.
Proof of purchase: you need the original proof showing the purchase date and product details. Version A says it must come from an authorized reseller.
Country: each version says it is valid and enforceable only in the country where you bought the robot.
Your legal rights: Versions B, C, and D say the warranty does not take away rights you have under consumer law.
Limit on liability: in Versions B and C, iRobot’s liability is limited to the purchase value of the product, where the law allows.

What is not covered

Normal wear and tear, including battery wear.
Accessories and consumables such as filters, brushes, dirt bags, cleaning pads, and cleaning solutions.
Rough handling, misuse, neglect, accidents, fire, water, lightning, or other natural events.
Not following the product instructions.
Spare parts or consumables that iRobot did not provide or recommend.
Changes or modifications made by you or an unauthorized third party.
Damage from poor packing when you ship the robot.
Version A also lists power, internet, or wireless outages and a weak wireless signal in the home.

Battery: the biggest difference

Version A: one year, the same as the robot. Normal battery wear, broken seals or cells, and use in other equipment are excluded.
Versions B and C: six months. The same battery exclusions apply.
Version D: not covered.

iRobot’s Protect plan FAQ says Protect replaces the battery if it no longer holds a charge under the manufacturer’s guidelines. For battery prices, see robot battery replacement costs.

Bought from a third-party seller?

Only Version A addresses this. It says coverage applies to purchases from iRobot.com or authorized iRobot retailers. Versions B, C, and D do not say. If you bought from a marketplace seller, ask iRobot support before assuming you are covered.

How to make a claim

Find the serial number on the robot, and your original proof of purchase.
Contact your local iRobot distributor. The documents point to iRobot’s global site for contact details.
Report the defect within a reasonable time after you notice it. Versions A, B, and C say no later than the end of the warranty period. Version D says no later than the end of the warranty period plus four weeks.
Version B says a handling fee may apply if the product turns out not to be covered.

iRobot Protect plans

When it starts: after the manufacturer’s one-year warranty ends, and it runs for the term you chose at purchase.
What it covers: mechanical and electrical failures from defects or power surges, battery replacement if the battery no longer holds a charge, and free shipping both ways for covered repairs. iRobot says there are no deductibles or hidden fees.
Who stands behind it: iRobot says the plans are iRobot services obligated by Extend, Inc.
Where and for which robots: the United States, the District of Columbia, and Canada, for select models only.
Cancellation: you can cancel at any time, and there is a 60-day money-back guarantee.
What we could not find: prices, plan lengths, the list of exclusions, and whether a plan transfers to a new owner. iRobot’s FAQ sends you to the plan’s terms and conditions for exclusions.

Warranty and the iRobot sale

iRobot’s chief executive said in December 2025 that warranties would be honored, and the sale to Picea closed in January 2026. See Roomba repair and warranty for that background and for out-of-warranty options. For second owners, see whether a robot warranty transfers, and for other brands see home robot warranties compared.

Frequently asked questions

How long is the Roomba warranty?

One year from purchase in three of the four versions we read, and two years in iRobot UK’s version. The battery may be shorter: six months in Versions B and C, and not covered in Version D.

Is the Roomba battery covered by the warranty?

It depends on the version. It is covered for one year in Version A, for six months in Versions B and C, and not at all in Version D. Normal battery wear is excluded in every version.

Does a repair restart the warranty?

No. The documents say the warranty period is not extended or renewed by a repair, replacement, or resale. A repaired or replaced part is covered for the rest of the original period or 90 days, whichever is longer.

Does the warranty transfer to someone who buys my used Roomba?

None of the documents we read says. They tie the warranty to the date of purchase and require the original proof of purchase, so ask iRobot before you count on it.

Will the warranty cover a robot I bought from an Amazon or eBay seller?

Version A limits coverage to iRobot.com and authorized retailers. The other versions are silent. Ask iRobot support with your serial number and receipt.

Does the warranty cover filters and brushes?

No. All versions exclude consumables such as filters, brushes, and cleaning pads.

Does the Roomba warranty cover Canada?

Version A says the warranty is valid only in the country where you bought the robot, and then says Canada and North America receive combined support and are an exception to that rule. It does not spell out whether a robot bought in one country can be serviced in the other, so ask iRobot before assuming it can. The other versions say only that coverage is limited to the country of purchase.
