<DIV align="center" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 18pt"><B>iRobot Announces Preliminary Unaudited Fourth Quarter and Full Year 2008 Results</B>
</DIV>


<DIV align="Center" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt"><I>2008
revenue anticipated to be up more than 20% year-over-year driven by strong demand<BR>
for military and international home robot products</I>

</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt"><B>BEDFORD, Mass., Jan. 28, 2009 </B>&#150; iRobot Corp. (Nasdaq: IRBT) today announced that it anticipates
revenue for the fourth quarter of 2008 in the range of $89&nbsp;million to $91&nbsp;million and revenue for
the full year 2008 in the range of $306&nbsp;million to $308&nbsp;million. Pre-tax income for the fourth
quarter of 2008 is expected to be $9.5&nbsp;million to $10.5&nbsp;million, and for the full year 2008 pre-tax
income is expected to be $0.5&nbsp;million to $1.5&nbsp;million.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&#147;The government &#038; industrial business grew more than 50% in the quarter compared with a year ago.
International home robot revenues in the quarter doubled year-over-year driven by demand for Roomba
500. Weakness in U.S. retail caused total revenue to fall slightly below our expectations for the
fourth quarter and full year,&#148; said Colin Angle, iRobot chairman and chief executive officer.
&#147;Fourth quarter pre-tax income was negatively impacted by reserves for excess inventory, costs
associated with a reduction in force and a charge resulting from a retailer bankruptcy.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&#147;In the fourth quarter, we took actions to put the company in a more financially sound position to
weather ongoing economic uncertainties. Despite the difficult environment, our aggressive
inventory management and receivables collection resulted in positive operating cash flow and a
strong year end cash position of approximately $40M. We entered 2009 operating more efficiently as
the result of right-sizing the company and continued focus on tightly managed controllable
expenses.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&#147;Our results demonstrate the viability of our business model and our intense focus on strengthening
our balance sheet. For 2009, we expect continued growth in military and international home robot
sales, however, we anticipate flat to slightly lower total company revenue due to weaker U.S.
retail demand. The details of our expectations will be provided during our fourth quarter earnings
call in February,&#148; said Angle.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 12pt"><B>Fourth Quarter Earnings Release and Conference Call</B>
</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">iRobot will announce its fourth quarter and full year 2008 financial results after close of market
on Wednesday, Feb. 11, at which time additional details will be provided. Management will host a
conference call, open to all interested investors, to discuss its fourth quarter and full year 2008
