For anyone who’s been watching Matic’s robot vacuum sit just out of reach, September 9 may be the day it slips further away.
The company will raise the price of the Matic vacuum by $250 on September 9, bringing it from $1,245 to $1,495. Matic says the increase is tied to rising costs for memory and other components for the vacuum, adding that those costs are now “tenfold.”
If you buy directly from Matic, the company is also bundling in a perk meant to soften the hit. Purchasers will receive a year’s worth of replacement bags worth $96 at no extra cost. Each refill contains 12 bags, and they ship for free.
Matic has also extended its return policy. What used to be 60 days is now six months, giving new buyers a much larger window to test whether it fits their home.
The vacuum itself has become a standout for reviewers. and the company’s pricing move lands on top of that reputation. In a review. Jennifer Pattison Tuohy praised Matic’s “human-like navigation. ” writing that it got stuck only twice during six months of use. Her testing took place in a cluttered. three-story home with pets. thick rugs. and high transitions. and she said it handled difficult layouts while still delivering powerful suction and a “great” self-cleaning roller mop.
There are practical conveniences too. The Matic will continue vacuuming even if its water tank runs dry. and it’s described as quiet enough that it can run without becoming a distraction if you work from home. Matic also leans on low-maintenance design: instead of using a big multifunction dock. it carries its own water tank and stores dirty water in a disposable bag. so users only need to empty and clean the dirty water reservoir. It can even drive itself to the sink when it needs more water.
For people wary of always-connected devices, Matic adds another selling point: unlike many competing robot vacuums, it can operate entirely offline, with maps and other data stored locally instead of in the cloud.
With the price change tied to September 9, the decision now isn’t just whether to buy the Matic—it’s whether to do it before the cost jumps by $250.
