iRobot Black Friday Deals

With robot vacuums that are smart will eliminate chores to clean off your list of things to be done during the festive season. This year, Black Friday deals are more appealing than ever.

Save big on top-rated models like the iRobot Roomba Combo j5+ robotic vacuum and mop. This home appliance has a smart mapping system, self-emptying capacity and edge-sweeping brushes to prevent pet hair from getting stuck.

Roomba j7+

The Roomba j7+ robotic vacuum and mop is iRobot’s most versatile robot combo. It combines the most effective features of both, including smart cleaning and self-emptying technology. It’s an excellent choice for busy households. The irobot robot vacuums Home App makes it easy to install your Roomba j7+ and start cleaning.

The app walks you through Wi-Fi configuration and the process is simple however I had to download the most recent software on my phone to enable it to work. After a few prompts the app asks you for permission to connect to other devices on your network and finds your new robot. It is important to keep your app updated since it contains updates for all of your irobot robots products.

When you’re done, j7+ does the rest of the heavy lifting. It can create an image of the room in 20 minutes and vacuum or mop with precision on any floor. Its intelligent sensor system detects hardwood flooring and rugs and selects the most appropriate mode. It also will know when to use the side brush or the power brush, which can help to prevent tangles.

For my test, I used the j7+ to clean the living room, entryway and kitchen with carpeted floors and area rugs. It also cleaned the hallways that were carpeted and two bedrooms upstairs. The j7+ performed well in each room, picking up everything from crumbs from dinner to film night popcorn to pet fur and everyday dirt. It is also very quiet with only 60 decibels. It’s roughly the same volume as a normal conversation and just below what the CDC recommends for loud levels.

The j7+’s most distinctive feature is its obstacle detection system, which recognizes pet waste, charging cables as well as shoes and other toys. You can program j7+ so that it does not enter certain rooms or objects. In my tests, I observed that the j7+ could detect and avoid obstacles.

The iRobot j7+ is a robotic vacuum and mop that is among the most expensive available. But, it provides a lot of value and will make your lists shorter. Its cutting-edge technology, as well as suction power are unmatched.

Roomba S9+

The Roomba s9+ robotic vacuum is the first iRobot robot irobots vacuum cleaner to use “Perfect Edge Technology”, which allows it to get closer to edges and corners. It also has a more compact design, which makes it appear less imposing than other robotic vacuums. Its slim body is black, with a rose-gold lid that opens to allow for cleaning and dumping. The controls are located on the side, not in the middle as with other models and it’s smaller than its competitors, like the Neato Botvac D7.

The s9+ is 40 times stronger than the previous generation model. It also comes with an improved brush design which is supposed to allow it to collect more debris in one go. In my tests, it picked up 95% of Cheerios on carpets, and 90% on hardwood. However, it did smash a few pieces of hard cereal and send them soaring across the floor.

The intuitive application makes it simple to use and set up the S9+. You can schedule cleaning appointments and choose which rooms to clean and you can even use voice commands with Alexa or Google Assistant. The app also lets you check on the status of your cleaning and battery life.

When the s9+ is completed, it is returned to its base, which acts as an charging station and a dirt bin. Its dustbin can be easily cleaned and replaced, and is a fraction of its competitors’ size. You can even purchase an additional bin to keep in the base for additional cleaning.

The s9+ can also work in tandem with iRobot’s Braava jet M6 mopping robot. This is accomplished via iRobot Imprint Link Technology. It allows them to share information and communicate. The s9+ docks its Clean Base when it finishes vacuuming and then informs Braava that it is now ready to mop. This is a great combination to tackle large, messy areas, like a playroom following your kids’ birthday party. It’s also a great choice for cleaning up unexpected spills or sticky places. This robot will be an excellent addition to any home.

Shark’s AI Ultra

The Shark AI Ultra is a 2-in-1 robot vacuum and mop that combine powerful whole-home vacuuming and sonic mopping for a thorough clean of hard floors. It has an enormous self-emptying container which can store debris for up to 60 days, which means you don’t have to empty it often. It also has superior obstacle detection than other robots, allowing it to avoid obstacles like furniture and hair from pets. Some users have complained that the base fills up quickly and isn’t able to empty as claimed.

The AI Ultra navigation system maps your home with 360-degree LIDAR. It generates a detailed floor plan and lets you set rooms as No-Go zones in the app. It’s also able to navigate around objects and remain within the boundaries of your home even in dark places. Additionally, the Ultra’s mops feature UltraClean which scrubs floors 100 times per minute and eliminates up to 50 percent more stains than conventional mopping.

The navigational system is a massive improvement over Shark’s earlier designs, such as the IQ, EZ and ION. It utilizes a matrix grid that covers the entire room several times, ensuring it doesn’t miss a thing. It is small enough to fit under couches and tables and it can also climb over electrical cords or rugs without getting caught.

The Ultra is a little more expensive than the RoborockQ5+ (9/10 from WIRED), but it has a higher capacity for dirt and is less trouble to maintain. It’s also compatible with an automatic dock that emptys and it does a better task of moving its own. It has a stronger vacuum motor and is less susceptible to be lost in thick carpeting. In spite of these advantages however, the IQ is still my top robot vacuum because it has an auto-emptying bin, a better navigation system, and a huge battery life. Shark’s AI ultra is a great choice for those looking for a more affordable vacuum. It has fewer components that require regular cleaning, has the same battery life and is more durable. It also costs about $50 less than the Q5. If you’re looking for a self-emptying garbage can, I recommend the Roborock.

Braava Jet M6

The Braava Jet M6 is most advanced mopping machine from iRobot. It uses a precision jet spray to dissolve sticky spills and kitchen grease without damaging rugs or furniture. It can also remove tough pet stains and dirt, leaving your floors looking new. It is an automated cleaning machine that can start or stop its work at any time you wish and works with smart home devices, such as Google assistant or Alexa.

Installing the m6 is simple. First, plug the mop into its base station and fill up its water tank. Then, download the iRobot application and follow the steps to connect to your Wi-Fi network. Once connected the m6 is ready to get to work. Press one of the three buttons on the unit to initiate a cleaning session, or use the app. The m6 can also automatically recharge when it’s low on power, and will keep working until the job is completed. It also features Keep Out Zones, which let you tell it to stay clear of areas such as the areas around your dog’s bedding or coffee spill.

The m6 uses less power than other vacuum cleaners. It only uses enough energy to spray water, navigate its way through your home, and keep an internet connection through your wireless router. Even a two-hour mopping session did not exhaust the battery much.

The m6 has three pre-set mopping modes that you can select from: standard mode balances cleaning power and surface coverage, deep mode concentrates on tough mess and extended coverage mode is able to mop larger areas with less time. In addition to these options you can alter your m6’s settings by using the irobot that vacuums and mops app. You can also create your own custom schedule and then trigger it from your other automated smart devices.

The m6 makes use of the latest vSLAM navigation system to map your home and guide it into neat rows. It cleans every inch of your floor. It’s compact and small and can be tucked in between and around furniture. It’s never been stuck or trapped in my home and hasn’t yet run out of batteries. It can be controlled using the Irobot For Pet Hair app or by using your voice if you are using an Google assistant or Alexa device.
