Roborock F25 Ultra Steam Gen 2 has landed as the headline reveal from the brand’s IFA 2026 showcase in Berlin, arriving alongside a second new device, the F25 Pro Turbo Combo. Both are wet dry vacuums built to handle everyday floor care with less manual fuss, and both lean heavily on steam power, adaptive suction and smarter navigation to get there.
Roborock has positioned itself as the world’s number one robotic vacuum cleaner brand, a ranking the company points to citing both Euromonitor International’s 2025 retail sales data and IDC’s Worldwide Quarterly Smart Vacuum Robotics Tracker for the first half of 2026. The two new launches build on that position by pushing further into steam cleaning and modular, multi-surface design.

Turbo Steam Mode Doubles Down on Cleaning Power
The standout upgrade in the Roborock F25 Ultra Steam Gen 2 is its Turbo Steam Mode, which Roborock says delivers up to two and a half times the steam volume of the previous generation. That extra steam is aimed squarely at softening and lifting stubborn stains and greasy residue that a standard mop pass would struggle with.
Once the unit has preheated, it can output a stable 180 degree Celsius steam stream in as little as 30 seconds, according to Roborock. The device also uses intelligent sensing to automatically adjust its cleaning intensity to match different floor conditions, so users are not left switching modes manually every time the surface changes underfoot.
Practical design touches carry over from the original F25 Ultra and have been refined further. A flat profile lets the vacuum slide under low furniture, while the SensEdge Robotic Arm extends and retracts as the device moves, enabling what Roborock calls 0 mm Triple-Edge Cleaning right up to walls and skirting boards. After each run, the machine self-cleans and dries its components, which helps prevent lingering odours before its next use.
F25 Pro Turbo Combo: One Machine, Five Jobs
Where the F25 Ultra Steam Gen 2 refines an existing formula, the F25 Pro Turbo Combo takes a different approach by offering a genuinely modular system. Its detachable drive module and interchangeable brush heads let it switch between a wet dry mopping vacuum and a cordless stick vacuum suited to carpet, effectively covering hard floors, carpets, couches and awkward corners with a single purchase rather than two separate machines.
Roborock says the flexibility is meant to free up storage space at home as much as it broadens the device’s job list. When extra cleaning force is needed, HyperScrub technology ramps up water flow, scrubbing intensity and suction together to tackle dried-on stains in one pass, with the machine capable of up to 25,000 Pa of suction.
Manoeuvrability gets a boost too, courtesy of power-enhanced SlideTech 2.0 wheels designed for smoother, more precise steering across mixed surfaces. Roborock has also fitted its JawScrapers brush design, aimed at stopping hair and fibres from tangling around the roller, a common complaint with wet dry vacuums that see regular use in homes with pets.

Availability in Australia
The Roborock F25 Ultra Steam Gen 2 is set to arrive in Australia from October 2026. Australian buyers will instead see a related model called simply the F25 Pro Turbo, described as Roborock’s next-generation deep scrub wet cleaning device, which is expected from mid-September 2026. The F25 Pro Turbo Combo itself, as detailed at IFA, will not be launched locally.
Anyone attending IFA 2026 in Berlin can see both devices in person at Roborock’s stand in Hall 9, Booth 111, with further detail available through Roborock’s IFA 2026 event page.
What It Means for Australian Buyers
For households already weighing up the original Roborock F25 Ultra, the Gen 2 update is a fairly clear upgrade path, particularly for anyone dealing with baked-on kitchen grease or pet mess that a cold mop pass never quite lifts. The jump in steam volume and the faster heat-up time address one of the more common frustrations with wet dry vacuums: waiting around for the machine to become genuinely effective.
The F25 Pro Turbo Combo, meanwhile, points to where the category is heading more broadly. Rather than owning separate devices for hard floors and carpet, Roborock is betting that shoppers would rather pay for one adaptable system, an approach that puts it in more direct competition with cordless stick vacuums as well as rivals such as the standard Roborock F25 and Roborock’s Qrevo Edge 2 Pro within its own range.
Both launches sit within a broader wave of hardware reveals timed to the show, and readers curious about the rest of the floor may want to check out other standout reveals from IFA 2026 for context on how this year’s event compares. For now, the F25 Ultra Steam Gen 2 and its Pro Turbo sibling give Roborock two distinct answers to the same basic question: how to make daily cleaning feel less like a chore, whether that means more steam or more versatility.
