FCC Filings Reveal the Next Wave of Robot Vacuums Coming to the U.S.
FCC filings reveal which upcoming robot vacuums secured approval before the July 28 Covered List update and which models could launch in the U.S. next.
FCC filings offer an early look at some products being prepared for the U.S. market, but they do not provide a complete picture of every robot vacuum scheduled for release.
Launch plans can change, and manufacturers may delay or cancel products before they reach the market.
For models approved on or before July 28, some manufacturers may also have relied on previously certified wireless modules rather than obtaining a separate FCC ID for each robot. As a result, not every upcoming model will necessarily appear in public FCC filings.
This list is not intended to be all-inclusive and is subject to change as new filings, product information and launch details become available.
Already Confirmed for Launch
Narwal Freo 20
The Narwal Freo 20, covered under FCC ID 2A942YJCC041 and approved June 22, is a premium midrange robot vacuum featuring Narwal's track-style mopping system. The model is scheduled to launch Aug. 20.
MOVA V70 Ultra Complete
he MOVA V70 Ultra Complete is an upcoming flagship robot vacuum featuring dual spinning mop pads and MOVA’s MaxiReachX mop-extension system. The V70 is scheduled to launch Aug. 19.
FCC-Approved Models to Watch
Roborock Saros 20 Flow
The Roborock Saros 20 Flow, covered under FCC ID 2AN2O-RRE0BES01 and approved July 17, is expected to be introduced later this year as the premium roller-mop robot vacuum in Roborock's flagship Saros lineup, joining the Saros 20 and Saros 20 Sonic.
Untitled Ecovacs X-Series Model
FCC test photos reveal a new Ecovacs roller-mop robot vacuum covered under FCC ID 28593-ZJ2618, approved July 16, featuring the FocusJet targeted spray system and what appears to be an extending side brush. Although the retail name is not listed, the design suggests it could be a new X-series model or variant.
Ecovacs T90 Max Pro Omni, T90 Max Omni, Yeedi M16 Plus and M16
Four related Ecovacs and Yeedi models are covered under FCC ID 2A64B-ZJ2576, approved July 28. The T90 Max Pro Omni is expected to be the premium version of Ecovacs’ updated midrange roller-mop lineup, with the Yeedi M16 Plus sharing similar specifications. The T90 Max Omni is expected to be the standard version, with the Yeedi M16 serving as its lower-cost counterpart.
Yeedi M16 Ultra and M16 Pro
The Yeedi M16 Ultra and M16 Pro are covered under FCC ID 2A64B-ZJ2622, approved July 21. The M16 Ultra appears with a fast-charging battery configuration, while the M16 Pro lacks that feature.
New FCC Rules Leave Pending Models in Limbo
Under the rules that took effect July 28, new foreign-produced advanced robotic devices are generally prohibited from receiving FCC equipment authorization.
An exception can be made if the Department of War grants Conditional Approval, finding that the device, or class of devices, does not pose an unacceptable national security risk.
That requirement creates considerably more uncertainty for models that were not authorized before the Covered List update on July 28.
Their U.S. launches could be delayed or canceled if manufacturers cannot obtain the authorization necessary to bring them to market.
We will continue monitoring FCC filings and manufacturer announcements for additional approvals, changes and confirmed U.S. launch details.
