DJI launches the ROMO 2 robot vacuum cleaners from 1,199 euros with 36,000 Pa and Internet connection blocking
Probably, if you think of DJI, their drones come to mind. Well, it seems that the brand does not intend to settle for that segment and is now going after the floors of our homes. Taking advantage of the IFA 2026 that we are following in person from Berlin, the brand has just presented its new series of ROMO 2 robot vacuum cleaners. The family, which arrives with the P2 and A2 models, maintains that striking translucent design of the first generation, but gives a twist to two quite important issues: privacy and the mechanical part.
The truth is that putting the spatial navigation algorithms of its famous drones in a device dedicated to cleaning makes all the sense in the world. Of course, the original 2025 model raised a lot of suspicions due to fear of data collection inside the home and the huge security flaw it suffered. With this renewal, DJI seeks precisely to shake off the stigma and calm users most concerned about their privacy.

What happens at home, stays at home
The big trump card in terms of security will land in the fourth quarter with the so-called local data mode, an old acquaintance for those who fly their drones. Basically, if you activate it from the DJI Home app, the robot cuts things off and disconnects from the Internet. In addition, they allow you to deactivate microphones and cameras from the settings at any time and even request the definitive deletion of what the robot has already saved.
Although it remains to be seen if this shielding will be enough to avoid future security problems, the truth is that being able to use a high-end robot totally disconnected from the cloud It is a rarity that is greatly appreciated.
The technical part is also renewed
If we get into the technical part, things get interesting. The ROMO 2 range debuts articulated robotic legs designed to climb slopes or steps of up to 8.5 centimeters using a double support system. And be careful with the scrubbing module, because it has a LiDAR-guided extendable arm that rotates up to 123 degrees, ideal for hunting lint in corners and under low furniture. As if that were not enough, it reaches a wild 36,000 Pa of suction pressure thanks to a bottom plate that seals direct contact with the ground. Next to nothing.
To avoid eating loose cables or thin chair legs, they have rebuilt the perception system seeking much more precise precision. As expected, the robot itself adjusts the suction power depending on what it is stepping on And, as a rather striking detail, they have added a headlight so that it stays on track in dark hallways.
The price of all this waste of technology? Well, the A2 model stays at those initial 1,199 euros, while the P2 goes up to 1,299 euros. The latter, by the way, makes the difference by including a charging and emptying base with an attractive transparent finish. They arrive in Europe this same month of September.
