Matic Robot Vacuum Price Increase

Matic, the popular robot vacuum‑mop hybrid, will raise its retail price to $1,495 on September 9, up from the current $1,245. The company said the hike reflects a tenfold increase in the cost of memory and other components used in the unit. Customers who purchase directly from Matic will receive a complimentary one‑year supply of replacement bags—worth $96—along with free shipping on each refill of 12 bags. In addition, the return window has been extended from 60 days to six months.

The device, which combines vacuuming and mopping in a single unit, has been highlighted for its “human‑like navigation” and robust suction. Reviewers note that it can navigate complex, three‑story homes with pets, thick rugs and high transitions, and that it continues to operate even when its water tank runs dry. Its self‑cleaning roller mop and disposable water reservoir reduce maintenance, and the unit can run entirely offline, storing maps locally rather than in the cloud. Matic’s new price adjustment comes as the company seeks to offset rising component costs while maintaining its feature set.

For those still interested, the current price of $1,245 remains available directly from Matic, but the price increase will take effect on September 9. The company’s updated warranty and free replacement bag offer aim to offset the higher cost for consumers who choose to buy the robot vacuum‑mop directly from the manufacturer.
