iRobot Roomba Combo j9+: Vacuums, Washes, and Mops Your Floors Without Hassle
iRobot is committed to showing the difference between the various robotic vacuum cleaners that have flooded stores. The new Roomba Combo j9+ is more complete and works as a vacuum cleaner and mop, without spreading germs, but there is also a vacuum-only version, the Roomba j9+, and more economical models, the Combo j5+ and Combo i5+.
Combine vacuuming with floor washing, effectively cleaning the various types of flooring, avoiding obstacles and “traps” and keeping rugs and carpets free of traces of the water used on the floors, and without spreading germs. These are some of the premises behind the development of iRobot’s new “combo” vacuum cleaners, which combine vacuuming with floor washing, with the ability to detect different cleaning needs and adapt.
The Roomba Combo j9+ is the new top of the range, with an automatic water refill base and vacuumed trash container, and it gains new features, the Dirt Detective to “investigate” the dirt and the SmartScrub that scrubs the floor more persistent in areas where it is needed. But iRobot announced more models, with the Roomba j9+ vacuum cleaner, the model that only vacuums and does not wash, and two mid-range devices, the Combo j5+ and Combo i5+, also with floor washing, which join the range of branded products in stores.
Colin Angel, CEO and Co-founder of iRobot guarantees that these are the smartest equipment that the company created with funding from MIT has already launched, but promises that innovation will not stop here and that it will be felt in the hardware and software. For now, iRobot wants to show the potential of the new generation of robotic vacuum cleaners, but also to restore consumer confidence.
“Over time, consumers’ relationship with vacuum cleaners has evolved. There is a “honeymoon” phase, which includes pre-purchase and product evaluation, in which even small mistakes are funny, but then they are faced with the problems of living together”, explains Warren Fernández, product manager, which highlights the need to evaluate the characteristics of the various brands and products that will make a difference over time.

The Roomba j9+ is the most expensive of the three models, but it also offers the best cleaning performance. It has a powerful suction system that can handle even the toughest messes, and it uses iRobot’s latest navigation technology to clean your floors in a systematic way. The Roomba j9+ also has a self-emptying base, so you don’t have to worry about emptying the dustbin as often.
The Combo j5+ is a good option if you’re looking for a less expensive model that still offers excellent cleaning performance. It has a similar suction system to the Roomba j9+, and it uses iRobot’s iAdapt 3.0 navigation technology to clean your floors in a systematic way. However, it does not have a self-emptying base.
The Combo i5+ is the most affordable of the three models, but it still offers good cleaning performance.
