DJI ROMO Review | Drone Tech Meets Robot Vacuum Innovation

DJI, best known for its drones and cutting-edge imaging tech, has taken an unexpected step into the smart home arena with its first robot vacuum and mop—the DJI ROMO. In a crowded market, DJI stands out by leveraging its expertise in sensing, navigation, and obstacle avoidance to enter the world of home cleaning. The result? A robot vacuum that feels more like a piece of DJI engineering than just another appliance.

Key Specifications at a Glance

  • Sensors & Navigation: Triple solid-state LiDAR sensors, dual 170° fisheye cameras, and 3D ToF measurement with millimeter precision (down to 1.5 mm).

  • Pathfinding: Multi-floor mapping, dynamic furniture recognition, and a shortest-time algorithm for optimized cleaning routes.

  • Cleaning Power: 25,000 Pa suction, dual anti-tangle roller brushes, 164 mL intelligent water tank with mop lifting, and extendable edge-cleaning arms.

  • Base Station: Self-cleaning with high-pressure jets, 2.5L dust bag (≈200 days), automatic mop drying, and fast 55W charging (~3.1 hours).

  • Battery & Coverage: 5200 mAh battery, cleans up to 200 m² per charge, operating noise under 66 dB(A).

Design & Variants

DJI has released three versions of ROMO:

  • ROMO P (Professional) – futuristic semi-transparent design, disinfectant support.

  • ROMO A (Advanced) – mid-tier features with an efficient base station.

  • ROMO S (Standard) – core functionality at a more accessible entry point.

The ROMO P’s semi-transparent shell reveals its internals—a design nod that blends DJI’s industrial roots with a sci-fi aesthetic.

Next-Level Obstacle Avoidance

This is where DJI’s drone DNA really shines. Using a Hybrid Vision System (fisheye cameras + 3D ToF), ROMO can recognize and dodge small items like cables, socks, or Lego pieces—common robot vacuum nightmares.

It navigates tight spaces and dark corners confidently, reducing the chance of getting stuck.

Cleaning Performance

  • Suction & Brushes: 25,000 Pa suction paired with anti-tangle spiral rollers tackles pet hair, crumbs, and debris.

  • Mopping System: Dual spinning mops adjust speed for stains, with auto-lift on carpets to prevent damp floors.

  • Base Station: Handles mop washing, drying, and dust disposal automatically. Added perks like UV sterilization and silver ion odor control keep the dock fresh.

DJI ROMO excels at managing common household messes:

  • Particle Collection: Automatically slows down and lowers side brush speed when approaching scattered pet food or coffee grounds, ensuring particles aren’t scattered but efficiently sucked up through its large intake.

  • Tangle-Free Hair Management: Its dual spiral anti-tangle roller brushes effectively eject hair, confirmed in extreme tests with clumps of pet fur, maintaining smooth operation without brush blockages.

  • Carpet Handling Modes: Offers four carpet-specific strategies, including bypass modes for mats and area-specific suction increases for heavy dirt zones.

  • Stain Removal: Intelligent water supply manages mop dampness, using dual rotating mop pads to scrub stubborn stains (simulated by spilled soy sauce), with post-cleaning auto-wash and drying.

  • Edge Cleaning: Flexible arms extend brushes close to walls and furniture legs while avoiding collisions or dust scattering.

Smart Docking and Maintenance

The self-cleaning base autonomously empties dust, washes and dries mops, and prevents residue buildup with silver ion sterilization. The dust bag can hold debris for about 200 days, greatly reducing user maintenance. The base station’s fast charging fully replenishes ROMO in roughly 3 hours.

Smart Features & App Control

The DJI Home app adds depth to the ROMO experience:

  • Multi-floor mapping with custom presets

  • Remote video monitoring with end-to-end encryption

  • Voice command support

  • Maintenance alerts and real-time performance tracking

ROMO’s “smart return” algorithm ensures it finds the most efficient path back to the dock, even through cluttered environments.

DJI ROMO is a bold and intelligent new competitor in the robot vacuum space, integrating drone-level sensing and navigation tech into cleaning. Its innovative design and comprehensive ecosystem support position it as a premium choice for smart home enthusiasts seeking a next-level clean with minimal hassle. While priced at the premium end, its capabilities and thoughtful features justify its appeal.

For those considering a smart cleaning upgrade, DJI ROMO is a disruptive newcomer well worth watching.
