Cancel iRobot Select in 2026: Stop Renting Your Roomba
Updated February 2026 • 5 min read
What iRobot Select Costs
- iRobot Select: $29-35/month — includes Roomba rental + accessories + warranty
- Annual cost: $348-420/year
- 3-year cost: $1,044-1,260
The catch: after your subscription term, you don't own the Roomba. You return it or keep paying. Meanwhile, a Roomba j7+ sells outright for $600-800 and lasts 3-5+ years.
💸 The Math
- iRobot Select (3 years): $1,044-1,260 — and you still don't own it
- Buy a Roomba j7+ outright: $600-800 — yours forever
- Buy a Roborock Q7 Max+: $400-500 — better suction, mops too, no subscription
How to Cancel iRobot Select
- Log into irobot.com/select
- Go to your subscription management page
- Click "Cancel Membership"
- Follow the return instructions for the robot (you must return it!)
- Or call 1-800-727-9077 to cancel by phone
Robot Vacuums Without Subscriptions
- Roborock S8 MaxV Ultra: $1,000-1,400 — best overall, mops + vacuums, auto-empty, no subscription
- Roborock Q7 Max+: $400-500 — great value, strong suction, auto-empty, no subscription
- Ecovacs Deebot X2 Omni: $800-1,000 — vacuums + mops, auto-cleaning dock, no subscription
- Dreame L20 Ultra: $900-1,200 — extends mop past edges, auto-empty/wash, no subscription
- iRobot Roomba (buy outright): $250-800 depending on model — same product, you own it
The Hardware-as-a-Service Trap
iRobot Select follows the printer ink model: sell hardware cheap (or free) and make money on recurring fees. This works for the company, not for you. Other examples:
- HP Instant Ink: Subscription printing ($5-25/month)
- Peloton: $44/month membership required for a bike you already bought
- Tesla: Software-locked features behind monthly fees
In every case, buying the hardware outright and skipping the subscription saves money within 12-18 months.
