This Week's Top Stories About Irobot Series

iRobot Series Robot Vacuum Cleaners

iRobot, a robotics company that has been a leader for years in the field, is now focusing on smart home automation. Their robot vacuum cleaners feature precise navigation and dirt detectors.

A story that is featured in the frame story focuses on a woman named Gloria and her robot nursemaid, Robbie. Gloria is devastated when her parents take him back to the factory.

Roomba

Roomba is a robot vacuum cleaner that works autonomously. It is designed to clean carpets as well as bare floors. It maneuvers through furniture and obstacles to effectively vacuum the floor. It also automatically returns to its dock and recharges and is controlled by an app for smartphones or the remote control.

The majority of Roomba models are equipped with infrared sensors to detect obstacles. They also have the ability to change direction when they come across an obstruction. The more advanced models can make a map of the floor area, and then determine the best route to follow. This allows them to vacuum a larger area in less time than older models, and improves efficiency. Certain Roombas come with the squeegee which can be used to collect large amounts of debris, such as pebbles and crumbs. Others have a high-capacity bin that can hold more dirt before needing to be emptied.

The iRobot Home App allows you to set cleaning times, select when the robot will return, and also control other features like adjusting the number passes. The app also gives you a complete history of each cleaning task, which includes how long it took for the robot to complete the task and if it encountered an obstacle or cancelled its job. The iRobot app can be integrated with other iRobot products, like the Braava m6, which allows you to automatically start mopping after the Roomba is done vacuuming.

In the latter half of May 2019, iRobot introduced the S series of Roombas that are equipped with advanced obstacle detection and intelligent mapping technology to help them determine the best route through a home. The S9 and S9+ Roombas are the smartest Roombas iRobot have ever made. They offer 40 times more suction compared to the 600 series and a 30% larger rubber brush to ensure better edge cleaning. They can also design "Keep Out Zones" to stop the robot from entering specific areas, such as a denseet of cords.

The most expensive model is the j9+, which has everything the brand offers. It comes with a self-emptying Clean Base advanced obstacle detection system, and automatic updates to iRobot OS. It can also learn from your habits in cleaning to prioritize rooms and alter the power of its brush motors. It is also able to pick up deep-seated dirt, pet hair, and allergens.

Scooba

The Irobot Scooba was designed to wash your floors without causing any mess. It makes use of an active reserve to separate the cleaning solution from the dirty water. It uses a three step cleaning process to remove dirt and bacteria. It can clean up to 150 square feet for each cleaning.

The Scooba is very simple to use. Its top has three clearly labeled buttons with backlights. The largest button, Clean, initiates and ends the cleaning process. The Information button on the left side will flash different colors to indicate the status. The third button will start an individual task. There's also a small on/off switch as well as a power cord port.

It includes a battery that you can replace if necessary. It takes about two hours to recharge, but is convenient for those who need quick cleaning. The Scooba also has a removable bottom plate to make it easier to clean the bristles and vacuum holes. The battery slot is an recessed, press-fit design. However there is an o rings to stop water from entering the compartment.

The Scooba cleaned most of our kitchen tiles during our tests, but struggled with our mudroom. It was able to clean the mud but not the edges of the room, and it was unable to get close to the cabinets in the kitchen. We also noticed that the Scooba was rounded. Scooba could easily become stuck under furniture, which was uncomfortable for us.

It was quick and did an excellent cleaning job in the rest of our home. It cleaned the bathroom extremely efficiently and we didn't have to worry about smells that linger. The Scooba is also quite loud, and it could be difficult to operate it in a bedroom or living room.

I did notice some gunk caught in the vacuum holes at the bottom of the Scooba that is able to be removed partially and rinsed off. This is crucial because obstructions in the vacuum can cause the bot to stop functioning.

Braava

The iRobot Braava Jet m6 might look simple however the company has packed a lot of smart engineering into it to ensure mopping and navigation work efficiently. Its compact body, which measures 10x10x 3,5 inches and weighs just 4.4 pounds, allows it to navigate through small spaces without damaging furniture. The cleaning head of the robot is designed to scrub hard floors and its nozzle sprays water to allow wet mopping. It also vibrates to remove dirt and stains.

The robot utilizes vSLAM navigation which is the most recent technology in home mapping. It is able to avoid carpets and other obstacles. Its driving wheels allow it to get around corners and cliff sensors stop it from falling down stairs or other steep drop-offs. It also learns about your habits of cleaning and suggests extra cleaning during pollen or allergy season.

With the irobot robot vacuum HOME app, you can set a schedule and select rooms for cleaning. You can also create Keep Out Zones that block off areas that you do not want the robot entering. The robot can be controlled by voice commands thanks to the compatibility of Google Assistant and Alexa (sold separately) devices.

If you're not happy with the outcome of your cleaning job you can adjust the level of power to meet your requirements. The m6 comes with three pre-set cleaning modes, with each mode balancing cleaning power and coverage area. Standard mode is perfect for routine maintenance. Extended and deep coverage modes are ideal for tough messes. You can choose to use a standard cleaning solution or Efficient iRobot Roomba i3 EVO Robot Vacuum: Wi-Fi Connected's own Hard Floor Cleaning Solution that is available separately.

The m6 will automatically return to the base station to recharge itself after cleaning. The status of the robot is displayed by the bright ring that appears at the top. A battery icon shows when the robot is charged. The irobot roomba i7+ (7550) robot Vacuum: Smart wi-fi connected HOME app can be connected to Braava and Roomba. Braava and a Roomba which makes it easier to organize cleaning tasks.
