BEDFORD, Mass. —

Bedford-based iRobot, which makes Roomba robotic vacuums, is considering bankruptcy after failing to find a buyer.

Earlier this year, iRobot signaled "substantial doubt" about its future. A formal strategic review was launched in March, which could have included a sale or "strategic transaction."

No such deal has materialized.

Now, the company owes far more than it can afford, according to a report filed with the SEC on Thursday. If lenders do not give the company more time, iRobot's filing indicates it will be in default on Dec. 1.

With more than $205 million owed and less than $25 million in cash, as of Sept. 27, the company's filing notes that if the company goes into default and lenders accelerate repayment obligations, iRobot would be unable to pay.
