2021: Announcement of Roomba i3 + - a robot vacuum cleaner that cleans the garbage container itself
In early April 2021, iRobot, known for its Roomba robot vacuum cleaners and Braava robotic mops, introduced the new Roomba i3 + robot vacuum cleaner. Device is equipped with self-cleaning container for garbage.
The Roomba i3 + robot vacuum cleaner uses a smart navigation system, an automatic cleaning mechanism for the dust collector, and also offers users advanced personal cleaning recommendations under the control of the new platform iRobot Genius Home Intelligence.
The garbage collected by the vacuum cleaner is discharged into a closed Clean Base bag which consists of a four-layer membrane. Thanks to the filtration function, up to 99% are blocked, pollen, mold, dust mites, as well as allergens distributed by pets. All collected garbage is eventually unloaded to the robot base, which, in addition to the garbage collection function, serves as a charging station. The user may not worry about cleaning the garbage container in the robot cleaner for a long period of time, up to 60 days.
The cleaning quality is the responsibility of the three-stage cleaning system, which consists of two rubber brushes with the function of easy cleaning, operating in tandem. In addition to them, an end brush is provided that is responsible for cleaning in inaccessible places - in the corners and along the plinth.
Users can manage Roomba i3 + using the iRobot Home application, which is available for both iOS and Android devices. According to iRobot, the robot vacuum cleaner will provide users with personalized cleaning offers through the application. Proposals suggest cleaning recommendations based on the already performed Roomba i3 + cleaning work, as well as useful cleaning tips, for example, during molting pets or seasons of allergic reactions.
In addition, the robot can be controlled using devices based on Amazon Alexa and Google Assistant. Roomba i3 + also supports Imprint Link technology that allows it to interact with the washing Irobot Braava jet m6 robot for higher level of clarification of the room.
Roomba i3 + costs $599[1]
