Robot Vacuums Face New Rules

A recent decision by the FCC may slow down the growth of robot vacuums.

Top brands like Roborock and Dreame usually release new models often. But the FCC's ban on foreign-made robots will stop US shoppers from buying them. This means no new models from popular brands.

The ban won't affect robot vacuums already on sale. Manufacturers can get special approval for future models if they prove they are not a security threat.

It's hard to imagine how few options shoppers will have. I asked the affected brands for their response. Here's what they said:

Shark said their current models will still be available. They are looking at options for future models and will keep customers informed.

Another brand said their current products are not affected. They will continue to support and update them.

Like others, they are seeking clarity on the new rule and will keep customers informed.

A brand said they are working with the FCC to understand the impact. They will share updates with customers.

Narwal said their certified products are not affected. They are reviewing the announcement and will serve their US customers.

This story is still developing and will be updated with more information.

Robot vacuums are affected by the new rules.
