Is The DJI ROMO 2 Worth Buying?
DJI's Norway store lists the ROMO A2 Water Tank Version at 1.239 € at the time of writing, while DJI's US press release names no price and no US date. The series has two models, the ROMO P2 and ROMO A2, announced in a press release dated September 9, 2026. According to that release, the ROMO 2 Series won an IFA Innovation Award at IFA 2026.
DJI's headline claims are 36,000 Pa of maximum fan pressure, obstacle sensing down to 2 mm, sill climbing up to 8.5 cm and a 123-degree robotic arm. Each figure comes from DJI's store page or press release, and several carry footnotes that limit them to lab conditions. DJI's pages show no independent test results or long-term reliability data, and The Bot Scout has not tested the robot.
A US buyer has no official price or date to plan around. DJI's Norway store shows returns within 30 days.
DJI ROMO 2 Price in Norway
DJI's Norway store lists the DJI ROMO A2 (Water Tank Version) at 1.239 € at the time of writing, priced in euros. The same store marks the ROMO P2 Water Tank Version as "Out of Stock". Prices and stock may change, so open the [ROMO A2 listing on DJI's Norway store](https://store.dji.com/no/product/dji-romo-a-2-water-tank-version) before you budget around this figure.
The Norway store shows free shipping, a free upgrade to fast delivery, a 1% DJI Credit reward and returns within 30 days. DJI's pages carry no independent test results for the ROMO 2.
DJI's US press release states no price and no availability for any market, including the US. Neither the press release nor the store page lists a warranty length. For more on pricing, see the [robot vacuum price by country](/pricing/robot-vacuum-price-by-country/) page.
How the ROMO 2 Senses Obstacles
The ROMO 2 navigates with a front-facing three-dimensional (3D) time-of-flight (ToF) light detection and ranging (LiDAR) sensor, dual fisheye vision sensors and a side-mounted 3D ToF LiDAR, which DJI markets as "Millimeter-Level Obstacle Sensing 2.0". DJI's press release says the system detects obstacles as thin as 2 mm, including transparent barriers such as glass doors. The [ROMO 2 guide](https://support.dji.com/help/content?customId=01700043697&spaceId=17&re=SK&lang=en&documentType=&paperDocType=ARTICLE) adds that the robot can detect and navigate around pet waste, and the sensor types are explained in [how robot vacuums navigate](/consumer-robots/how-robot-vacuums-navigate/).
DJI's store page footnotes attach conditions to that sensing. Obstacle detection needs matte, textured surfaces with more than 20% reflectivity and light of at least 0.1 lux, and DJI advises avoiding mirrored or highly reflective areas. Edge-hugging may also drop near reflective or transparent surfaces.
A 123-degree ultra-wide-swing adaptive robotic arm with LiDAR guidance reaches 7.8 cm wider than the previous generation, according to the store page. The ROMO 2 crosses single steps up to 4 cm and double-step obstacles up to 8.5 cm, using what the press release calls active-lifting robotic legs. DJI's footnote says the 8.5 cm figure comes from a lab test of two stacked steps, the first up to 4 cm and the second up to 4.5 cm.
Cleaning Modes with Published Runtime Figures
The ROMO 2 offers four cleaning modes: Vacuum & Mop, Vacuum, Mop, and Vacuum Then Mop. Pet Mode raises suction and adjusts the liquid strategy for homes with pets, according to the store page and the ROMO 2 guide. DJI also lists a lab-tested 0% hair entanglement rate using 1 g of hair, a figure DJI marks as for reference only.
DJI advertises "36,000Pa Powerful Suction", and the store footnote defines it as the fan's maximum pressure in lab testing, with real results varying. Noise is listed at about 54 A-weighted decibels (dBA) in Vacuum & Mop mode and about 40 dBA while the base station dries. DJI claims up to 85% less noise energy than the previous generation, again from a lab test with varying results.
In Quiet Vacuum mode, one full charge runs about 3 hours and covers roughly 178 square metres, per the store page. Docking for 30 minutes recovers about 18 watt-hours (Wh), which DJI says gives roughly 36 minutes of Vacuum & Mop runtime.
DJI does not list the total battery capacity in Wh or milliampere-hours (mAh) on the store page, so the 3-hour figure cannot be converted into a pack size. The store page also states that the ROMO 2 is not water resistant. The DJI Home app includes liquid detection settings.
Base Station Upkeep Schedule
The ROMO 2 base station cleans itself with 80 °C hot water, deodorizes the floor, dries the robot's dust box and shines an ultraviolet (UV) light on the dust bag. DJI advertises "365 Days of Maintenance-Free Operation", but the footnote calls this a theoretical lab value. It applies only to the base station washboard and does not cover water refills or other consumables.
The ROMO 2 guide sets replacement cycles by working hours, and DJI notes the cycles may change, so check Supply Management in the DJI Home app against the [ROMO 2 guide on DJI Support](https://support.dji.com/help/content?customId=01700043697&spaceId=17&re=SK&lang=en&documentType=&paperDocType=ARTICLE). The published cycles are listed below.
The robot and base station come pre-paired, and pushing the robot fully into the base station powers it on. Fill the clean water tank below the Max line, then create a whole-house map in the DJI Home app, which DJI requires before first use. Map Management splits or merges rooms and sets no-go zones and virtual walls, and the app also runs cleaning tasks and remote video and voice calls.
- Robot filter: replace every 180 working hours
- Dust bag: replace every 60 working hours
- Roller brush: replace every 300 working hours, or immediately if debris jams it
- Waste tank filter: clean after 600 mop pad washes
Published DJI ROMO 2 Facts
DJI's pages leave out six things a buyer would want: US price, US availability, total battery capacity, warranty length, independent test results and long-term reliability data. Every figure in the table below comes from DJI, and several carry lab-test footnotes.
The ROMO 2 suits a buyer who can order from DJI's Norway store at 1.239 € at the time of writing, where the store shows returns within 30 days. It does not suit a US buyer today, since DJI has published neither a US price nor a US date. A published US price, a stated warranty length or independent test results would change this verdict.

Bottom Line
The ROMO A2 Water Tank Version sits at 1.239 € on DJI's Norway store at the time of writing. US buyers should not plan around it, because DJI's press release states no US price and no US date. Homes with mirrors or glass doors should read DJI's sensing footnotes before ordering, since DJI says edge-hugging may drop near reflective or transparent surfaces. A published US price, a stated warranty length or independent test results would change this verdict. DJI's Norway store shows returns within 30 days.

DJI has not announced US availability. Its press release dated September 9, 2026 lists the ROMO P2 and ROMO A2 but states no price and no availability for any market, including the US. DJI's own pages give no date. DJI's Norway store lists the A2 at 1.239 € at the time of writing.
What is the difference between the ROMO P2 and A2?
DJI's pages do not spell out the difference between the ROMO P2 and ROMO A2. Both belong to the ROMO 2 series named in a press release dated September 9, 2026, and both appear on DJI's Norway store as Water Tank Version variants. The A2 is listed at 1.239 € at the time of writing, the P2 is out of stock, and the specs quoted here come from the A2 listing.
How strong is the ROMO 2's suction?
DJI rates the ROMO 2 at 36,000 Pa, advertised as "36,000Pa Powerful Suction". The store footnote says this is the fan's maximum pressure from lab testing and that real results vary. Pet Mode raises suction for homes with pets. DJI's pages show no independent suction measurement.
Is the DJI ROMO 2 water resistant?
The DJI ROMO 2 is not water resistant, according to DJI's store page. The DJI Home app includes liquid detection settings, and the base station cleans itself with 80 °C hot water, but neither makes the robot body water resistant.
