\n BEDFORD, Mass.<\/span>
\n <\/span>, Sept. 27, 2022<\/span><\/span> \/PRNewswire\/ — iRobot Corp.

This is possible thanks to a fully retractable mop pad that lifts itself to the top of the robot when it encounters carpet and rugs \u2013 the first 2-in-1 of its kind \u2013 preventing wet carpet messes.\u00a0iRobot OS<\/a>\u00a05.0 introduces new features and digital experiences that improve intelligence and personalization across the company’s portfolio of connected robots \u2013 offering even more thoughtful updates for pet owners, busy families and those looking for more control over how they clean.<\/p>\n

“iRobot OS provides the intelligence that powers our robots. It brings to life thoughtful and intelligent home products that respect, connect and understand the user’s home and lifestyle, helping our robots become a valued and trusted partner in the home,” said Colin Angle<\/span>, chairman and CEO of iRobot. “The Roomba Combo j7+ perfectly marries iRobot OS intelligence with beautifully designed hardware to give customers a vacuum and mop solution like no other, capable of keeping carpet, rugs and hard floors cleaner and fresher every day, so customers can live their life. With Roomba celebrating its 20th<\/sup>\u00a0birthday this year, iRobot OS is also giving our connected product lineup the gift of more intelligence, letting customers’ existing robots clean in new ways.”<\/p>\n

\n The World’s Most Advanced Robot Vacuum and Mop \u2013 Roomba Combo j7+<\/u>
\n <\/b>
\n
“Until today, many 2-in-1 robot vacuums and mops delivered a poor user experience either because they required separate, time-consuming cleaning jobs or created more mess by not fully lifting the mopping pad high enough to avoid carpet and rugs. The Roomba Combo j7+ uniquely solves both of these challenges,” said Keith Hartsfield<\/span>, chief product officer at iRobot. “And thanks to iRobot OS, your Roomba Combo j7+ will get smarter over time because it will automatically download new capabilities whenever we release them. So, when new enhancements are developed, your robot gets them too, like magic.”<\/p>\n

Unlike other 2-in-1s, the Roomba Combo j7+ vacuums rugs and carpets first and then vacuums and mops hard floors concurrently, saving users time by cleaning the area in a single job. Using advanced sensors, the robot is able to detect various floor types. When the Roomba Combo j7+ approaches carpet and rugs, its fully retractable mop arms lift the wet pad to the top of the robot \u2013 in a similar way that a convertible raises its roof \u2013 preventing wet messes.<\/p>\n

Thanks to iRobot OS and the robot’s PrecisionVision Navigation system, customers don’t have to worry about cleaning up before the cleaning begins. The Roomba Combo j7+ recognizes more than 80 common objects,1<\/sup> which enables the robot to clean more specific places on command, like around kitty litter boxes, toilet bowls, dishwashers and more. It also allows the robot to detect and avoid floor hazards like cords, clothes, shoes, socks, backpacks, pet bowls, pet toys and solid pet waste. To make cleaning even easier, pair the robot with your voice assistant and simply tell it to clean specific rooms or by specific objects in your home, and it does what you ask instantly.2<\/sup>\u00a0The Roomba Combo j7+ understands approximately 600 voice commands, more than any other 2-in-1. Users can customize their Roomba Combo j7+ cleaning jobs in the iRobot Home app, choosing which rooms should be vacuumed and mopped or vacuumed only, and adjust the amount of cleaning solution they want the mop to dispense.<\/p>\n

\n The Only Mop That Lifts High to Keep Carpets Dry<\/b>
\n
Other 2-in-1 mops lift only a few millimeters \u2013 if at all \u2013 and, as a result, can leave wet messes on many carpets or rugs. The Roomba Combo j7+ is the only 2-in-1 with a mop that lifts itself to the top of the robot, completely away from carpet and rugs. Two fully retracting, durable, metal mop arms raise the mop pad when the robot senses carpet and rugs, preventing unwanted wet messes.<\/p>\n

\n The First Truly Hands-Free Vacuum and Mop Robot<\/b>
\n
Using the Roomba Combo j7+ is simple. The robot senses when a mop pad is attached and the mopping solution tank is full \u2013 and then goes into mopping mode automatically. Other 2-in-1s have a mop that you must manually attach yourself after the vacuuming is done, adding extra work and time. With the Roomba Combo j7+, the mop arm is already attached and ready to go. For vacuuming, it also comes with the Clean Base\u00ae\u00a0<\/sup>Automatic Dirt Disposal system so you can forget about vacuuming for months at a time. The Clean Base allows the Roomba Combo j7+ to empty the dirt and debris it collects into an enclosed bag that doesn’t need to be replaced for up to 60 days.<\/p>\n
