Roomba maker iRobot files for bankruptcy, pursues manufacturer buyout
By ReutersPublished: December 15, 2025 at 8:43AM EST
The company, which was the target of a thwarted $1.4 billion buyout by Amazon.com, has about $190 million in debt.
The debt stems from a 2023 loan that iRobot used to refinance its operations while a European competition investigation stalled the Amazon deal.
After the Amazon deal fell apart and iRobot fell behind on payments to Picea, the China-based manufacturer acquired iRobot’s debt from a group of investment funds managed by the Carlyle Group, according to court documents.
