iRobot Corp. has introduced two new models that solve pitfalls faced by competing robots – the flagship Roomba Combo j9+ robot vacuum and mop and Roomba j9+ robot vacuum. These two models look to ensure that customers are confident that their floor cleaning robot is intelligent enough to avoid making its own mess, will finish its job without interruption and clean the way they want. The Roomba Combo j9+ includes a new Clean Base Auto-Fill Dock that automatically empties debris and replenishes the robot with liquid. iRobot also unveiled iRobot OS 7.0, which includes the additions of Dirt Detective and SmartScrub. The Roomba Combo j9+ and Roomba j9+ join the recently announced Roomba Combo j5+ and Roomba Combo i5+ as part of iRobot’s expanded fleet of robot vacuum and mops.
iRobot OS 7.0 – Cleans Your Home Exactly Like You Would
Based on a customer’s habits, home and even the seasons, iRobot OS combines insights and technology to create a personalized cleaning experience tailored to fit their unique needs and preferences – while also giving them control, right from the iRobot Home App. With iRobot OS 7.0, iRobot is introducing new digital technologies Dirt Detective and SmartScrub for the Roomba Combo j9+ and Roomba j9+.
Dirt Detective: Plans, Predicts and Drives a Superior Cleaning Experience
Powered by iRobot OS, first-of-its kind Dirt Detective intelligence lets the Roomba Combo j9+ and Roomba j9+ automate where it cleans based on its cleaning history, so customers don’t have to think about it. It learns from past cleaning missions to automatically prioritize dirtier rooms and adjust settings like suction, cleaning passes and scrubbing.
SmartScrub – Power and Pressure for a Pristine Clean
Some areas of the home need a deeper clean – like a mudroom full of pawprints or kitchen tiles. With iRobot OS 7.0 updates, new Roomba Combo j9+ and existing Roomba Combo j7+ customers will be able to enable SmartScrub in targeted rooms, and their robot will scrub back-and-forth with consistent downward pressure to eradicate messes. SmartScrub tackles stubborn messes like grime with 2x deeper scrubbing.
Roomba Combo j9+ Robot Vacuum and Mop – More Power and Intelligence Than Ever
The Roomba Combo j9+ Robot Vacuum and Mop’s 4-Stage Cleaning System and unique Dual Rubber Brushes provide 100% more powerful suction and pressurized scrubbing action. iRobot’s D.R.I. (Dry Rug Intelligence) means customers can trust that their Roomba Combo j9+ will keep even high-pile rugs clean and dry. This is made possible because of its unique Auto-Retract Mopping System that lifts the mop all the way to the top of the robot when detecting carpet, preventing wet messes.
Advanced iRobot OS technology captures an accurate map of the home 7x faster and automatically names rooms. It also allows the Roomba Combo j9+ to recognize and maneuver around clutter like shoes, wires, backpacks, clothes, pets, and even solid pet waste, giving customers more confidence that it will complete the job.
Roomba Combo j9+ Clean Base Auto-Fill Dock
The new, stylish Clean Base Auto-Fill Dock does more than ever to support the Roomba Combo j Series robot vacuum and mop. It empties debris for up to 60 days and refills liquid for up to 30 days for autonomous cleaning. Crafted from premium materials with a wood-like top to double as a useable surface, the Clean Base Auto-Fill Dock also includes a place to store extra bags and mop pads. iRobot’s quietest Clean Base dock yet, it has been thoughtfully engineered to produce less noise while it works to empty debris and refill liquid.
Roomba j9+ Robot Vacuum
iRobot’s most powerful and smartest robot vacuum, the Roomba j9+ is designed to thoroughly clean and freshen larger homes and those with furry pets. Based on years of cleaning research, it is designed and equipped with 100% more suction power and a longer lasting battery, as well as more pet features than any other robot vacuum.
Powered by iRobot OS and Imprint Smart Mapping technology, the Roomba Combo j9+ and Roomba j9+ understand more voice commands than other robot vacuum brands. Customers can pair their robot with Alexa, Google Assistant or Siri and tell their robot to clean specific rooms or near specific objects like couches, counters, dining tables or a stove. With PrecisionVision navigation, the Roomba Combo j9+ and Roomba j9+ are also able to identify exactly what’s ahead, and if there’s an object it should avoid, it steers clear.
