Fully automatic cleaning robot changes Japanese housework! Introducing the latest Roomba "i3+" that combines cost performance and power
In 2021, "vacuum" could be dead.
In the world of near-future anime and movies, the market is set for robots to do all the cleaning, laundry, and dishwashing. Even in the real world, the time has already come when we can leave the housework to the dishwasher or fully automatic washing machine.
Now it's time for the robot vacuum cleaner.
With the arrival of the latest model of iRobot's Roomba, households across Japan finally have a chance to free themselves from the chore of vacuuming.
The latest Roomba "i3+" is fully automatic until garbage disposal
Here are the latest models of Roomba, "i3+" and "i3". "+" is a model with a clean base.
The clean base is an automatic garbage collector exclusively for Roomba, and as soon as Roomba finishes cleaning and returns, it makes a powerful intake noise and sucks up the garbage collected by Roomba. Guy. As a result, cleaning → cleaning the vacuum cleaner → emptying the garbage can be completed automatically.
Premium economy Roomba "i3+"
The goodness of the clean base has already been proven by Roomba's high-end models "s9+" and "i7+". The innovation of the new Roomba "i3+" this time is that it realized its high-end technology with a cost performance of less than 100,000 yen.
The convenience of being able to keep your home clean while forgetting about cleaning for months. A sense of reassurance that a robot is cleaning my house!
Since all of this is available for 99,800 yen (tax included), it has become easier for people who were worried about buying a Roomba until now.
Difficult to get tangled and hard to stop
Dual action brush with two rotating rollers to collect dust. The rubber brush is an innovation unique to Roomba.
By using a rubber plate-shaped brush, hair and pet hair are less likely to get tangled, making cleaning easier. In addition, since it is hard to get tangled, the probability of stopping due to an error on the way is low, which leads to reliability that allows you to leave the cleaning to us.
Clean multiple rooms at once with a single stroke
The i3+ uses multiple sensors, but it doesn't have an optical sensor, the so-called camera sensor. Since it can operate without relying on light, cleaning is possible even in complete darkness.
Instead, the eye of the i3+ and i3 is the floor tracking sensor.
According to iRobot, the floor tracking sensor is a technology similar to an optical mouse that takes the relative coordinates of the XY axis of movement and guides the Roomba in a straight line at all times.
Below, you can see how the "i3+" actually cleans the room from corner to corner with a single stroke.
It cleans all over with a regular pattern!
Map your cleaning history
The i3+ and i3 map your cleaning history at the same time that you're locating yourself while cleaning. Therefore, if you link with a dedicated app, you can see at a glance where the Roomba has cleaned with the "Clean Map Report".
Furthermore, the "i3" can run for up to 75 minutes on a single charge, but if the battery runs out during cleaning, it will return to the base by itself, and after automatic charging, it will finish cleaning the previous time. It seems that it can be automatically restarted from. It's much better than humans ~.
New function: Avoid getting stuck with reactive sensors
There are also new functions unique to "i3". The "reactive sensor" provided in the bumper can now detect pressure from diagonally upward angles, so even if the Roomba gets into a narrower space as it goes further, it will "start from here." I can't move forward, okay, let's turn back."
What's more, next time she's a smart girl who won't fall into the same trap as "You shouldn't go in here, okay, let's stay away"!
Sincerely beautiful design
Up until now, the 'Rumba' has been impressive with its mechanicalness based on black, but the new 'i3+' and 'i3' are designed to blend into your life. is adopted.
The metallic gray that is not overstated shines dully, and the fabric-like texture makes you want to touch it... It embodies such an aesthetic sense.
The era of choosing a Roomba according to your life stage
Some of the readers who have read this far felt that "Isn't it functionally the same as the previous Roomba?" Some of you will be there. exactly. Clean base, dual action brush, mapping function, etc. are already implemented in other models of Rumba.
The true innovation of the "i3+" is that it mixes these existing technologies just right for the Japanese living environment and offers them at a middle-class price.
The most suitable living environment for "i3+" is about 2LDK or 3DK. In terms of life stage, it is a perfect rumba for a couple who has a child and moved to a new house in the suburbs and is in the prime of life, or for a family with pets indoors.
If you live in a larger mansion, you should definitely choose the top class "s9+", and if you don't need to be so powerful because it's a one-room room, the "e5" or 600 series will be enough. It should be enough.
According to iRobot, ``Isn't there an option to choose which Roomba to choose according to your life stage, rather than which vacuum cleaner to buy?'' Of course, that option is based on the premise that you don't clean it yourself.
It's an era where you don't vacuum yourself anymore. The new Roomba "i3+", which makes us aware of such a future, will be on sale from February 26, 2021. What will you enjoy in 2021 with the time freed from cleaning?
