## Key points

- Matic Serene runs at a claimed 52 decibels on max suction.
- It costs $1,695, $200 more than the current original model.
- Existing owners can pay the price difference for an upgrade in 2027.

## Summary

Matic has launched the Serene, its first new robot vacuum model since its 2023 debut, with lower noise as its main upgrade. It is designed to clean at full suction while producing a claimed 52 decibels, which could make it more practical to run while people are at home.

The Serene costs $1,695 and is available now; the original Matic remains on sale for $1,495 and is rated at 55 decibels on its highest setting. Existing owners can request a hardware upgrade in early 2027, paying the difference between what they originally paid and the Serene’s price. That means the upgrade could cost as much as $600 for early buyers.
