DJI's Robot Vacuum Finally Graduates From Bumping Into Walls To Pretending To Mop
KEY POINTS
- •DJI launched its first robot vacuum, the Romo P model, in Europe this October without a US release date.
- •The Romo P features a self-cleaning base station and a mopping function, marking a leap from early models.
- •The Verge’s Jen Tuohy, an expert in robovacs, noted the Romo P’s high-end specs and impressive charm.
Eight years after the humble bump-and-run era of robot vacuums, DJI decides it's time to leapfrog amateur hour by debuting the Romo P in Europe this October—a $999-ish robovac with enough bells and whistles to make a Swiss army knife blush. This flagship model boasts a self-cleaning base station (because apparently even robots hate cleaning up), a mopping function for when sweeping just won't do, and so many 'high-end specs' that even DJI's tech guru Jen Tuohy, who’s basically the robovac whisperer, noticed. Sadly, the US is still in robot FOMO since no release date has been given. Meanwhile, human cleaning service reps can breathe a sigh of relief...for now.

The Romo P vacuum is so advanced it probably judges your Netflix choices while secretly judging your floor too.
DJI rolling out robot vacuums in Europe first is just their high-tech way of saying 'mañana' to the US.
