<DIV align="center" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 18pt"><B>iRobot Announces Preliminary Unaudited Fourth Quarter and<BR>
Full Year 2007 Results</B>
</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 12pt"><I>Revenue in line with expectations; Significant income tax benefits partially offset by costs
associated with lawsuit settlement result in increased EPS compared to prior year</I>
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt"><B>BURLINGTON, Mass., Jan. 22, 2008 </B>&#150; iRobot Corp. (Nasdaq: IRBT) today announced that it anticipates
revenue for the fourth quarter of 2007 in the range of $98&nbsp;million to $100&nbsp;million and revenue for
the full year 2007 in the range of $248&nbsp;million to $250&nbsp;million.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&#147;I am extremely pleased to report that we anticipate fourth quarter and full year revenue to be in
line with our expectations following a successful holiday season for our new iRobot<SUP style="font-size: 85%; vertical-align: text-top">&#174;</SUP> Roomba<SUP style="font-size: 85%; vertical-align: text-top">&#174;</SUP> 500
Series robot, despite widely reported weakness in general retail. The company&#146;s Government &#038;
Industrial Robots business also made a strong contribution to the quarter,&#148; said Colin Angle,
chief executive officer of iRobot. &#147;There also were two one-time events in the fourth quarter that
impact fourth quarter and full year profitability: an anticipated income tax valuation reversal of
at least $8&nbsp;million and estimated litigation and settlement costs of approximately $1.6&nbsp;million
associated with the resolution of a lawsuit against Robotics FX that we announced last month,&#148; he
added.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&#147;On a GAAP basis, we are expecting pre-tax profit between $12.1&nbsp;million and $12.6&nbsp;million for the
fourth quarter and a pre-tax profit for the full year between $500,000 and $1&nbsp;million. These
results reflect the litigation settlement costs and lower than expected gross margins. Excluding
the full year litigation and settlement costs of approximately $2.3&nbsp;million, 2007 pro forma pre-tax
profit is expected to be approximately $3&nbsp;million. GAAP earnings per share are expected to be
between $0.79 and $0.81 in the fourth quarter and between $0.33 and $0.35 for the full year,
including the anticipated income tax valuation reversal,&#148; Angle said.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&#147;Based upon the company&#146;s profits since December&nbsp;31, 2004, and its expected annual profitability in
2008 and future years, at least $8&nbsp;million of the deferred tax asset valuation allowance will be
reversed effective December&nbsp;29, 2007,&#148; said Geoff Clear, chief financial officer of iRobot.
&#147;Reversal of the valuation allowance will be a discrete event and will result in a significant
non-cash income tax benefit in the fourth quarter of 2007,&#148; Clear added.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">Angle continued, &#147;Our results demonstrate the strength of our business, and we exited the year with
excellent momentum and visibility. We are optimistic about strong revenue growth and
