@rcmaniac25 8 ай бұрын

An interesting thing I saw was a magazine interviewed iRobot's CEO and asked why the j9+ doesn't wash the pads, and she responded that it wasn't sanitary. That heat + darkness + water over time would make it more likely for bacteria and mold to grow on the pads and parts. Meaning you still need to manually clean the base station and pads. So for now, they don't do that because they would want to make sure it sanitizes the pads to prevent such growths from occurring. I feel like that's a bit of a cop out... but also, she has a point. People already complain about needing to buy bags and such instead of a reusable bin... what's the chances that they're going to always be buying cleaning solution and putting it in the tank too?

@darreny2433 7 ай бұрын

Imagine using a piece of wet cloth mop the entire home without washing. How clean can the floor be. Trying cleaning the soiled laundry without detergent and dry, see if they smell after. People have been using vacuum cleaners with bags for year before these are invented. Nobody complained. Healthy, cleaner are just marketing words. Accessories are an issue because nobody imports them or feared being sued and plus hefty tax thus up the price many folds.

@richardplumb3713 6 ай бұрын

I hope people won't expect these other vacs to be entirely hands off. I think you'd still want to take the pads off weekly and throw them in the washing machine and rinse the dirty water tanks. If so then the 'rinse and dry' approach is probably fine

@darreny2433 6 ай бұрын

Now there is automatic water disposal and supply from plumbing already as a norm for the other brands, so user don’t need to dispose the dirty tank and refill clean tank. Also auto detergent dose to wash the mop pads is a feature too in other brands.

LIDAR might make for faster mapping and less bumping into things, but mapping is a one time thing so not a big deal, and my i7 navigates pretty well. I don't care what tech it uses if it works, and at this point irobot's software is likely heavily built around vslam and vision based navigation. Although weirdly I'm pretty sure my old 660 used to be much softer at navigating, slowing down and just gently tapping walls before turning around. the i7 just bounces into them like it doesn't care

It is also important to test their apps. I found that the Ecovacs app is so hard to use. It requires registration and logging in to use. It has a large useless shopping tab. It does not allow “vac only” mode in its vac+mop models. And it does not allow renaming rooms. And a lot of text and content overflows. So terrible the app is that I thought it was made in 3 days.

Based on the description of these new robots, Irobot is still behind the times. First, they are still using VSLAM, they should have switched to Lidar since Lidar is much better at creating a map. It will be interesting to see what the battery size is in these new bots. I have no idea what the price will be on these but the combo J9 is still missing some major features that other high end robots have. It can now refill the water tank which is good but it doesn't clean the mop pad, you still need to do that yourself and the mop does not vibrate or spin.

@darreny2433 8 ай бұрын

I guess it might have to do with past patent infringe in China. Irobot had been suing many robovac makers in the past and may have failed to secure Lidar patent in China. And if you look at how restrained irobot machines design are, it might be to avoid being sued. Just what I can deduced around .

@edred7861 8 ай бұрын

I feel like iRobot is taking little steps into these more smarter robots when it’s coming to models. Like when the j10 comes out, it would probably have a self drying and washing.

and all the mopping complaints you had had very good reasons they were not on the J9 - they suck. Mop cleaning stinks, is filthy and periodically cleaning by hand is still superior. LIDAR is superior but the added cost might not be.

Thanks to their dual brush rollers and dust bin full sensors they really aren’t. Those are absolute game changers for people with long haired pets. I had an ecovacs before my j7 and hated it. The brush was tangled with hair after every single vacuuming and it crammed the dust bin so full of hair it never auto emptied. It required more work than it was worth. I don’t have to touch my j7 for weeks and just to check up on it and shake out the hepa filter.

I have the J7+ and it has been so disappointing. I don't see any changes in the j9+ to get excited about. I don't see an improvement on the whisker brush, where there should really be two directing dirt into the front of the vacuum. I didn't see any mention of changes to the rollers as it seems those constantly get clogged up on the ends with pet hair (same with the whisker base and the omni wheel). The obstacle avoidance is iffy at best. I had a catnip mouse toy get run over and jammed in the rollers, gouging out a 1 inch wide gap in them. So, so much for avoiding obstacles and destroying the rollers in the process. I have all hardwood floors and even on an ideal platform for the Roomba to do well, they manage to disappoint.

My Combo j7+ vacuums great, but has never really "mopped" the floor. Yes, it puts a pad down and emits 3 stripes of water, but the lack of pressure does very little, if any, cleaning. The pad doesn't even get damp all the way across, there are three inch-wide stripes of water behind where the emitters are located. I've even left the same pad on it for a week and it wasn't dirty after mopping every day.

DISAPPOINTED with the release of this product. Instead of making the S10+ with twice as powerful with the S9+ with a Lidar system, they force themselves making the J series product. Looks like we gotta wait for a couple of years before they decide to make a S10 series.

This video doesn't make sense, if your not reviewing or discussing performance I think it makes more sense to discuss other companies latest generation as well. In a reality where the Ecovacs X2 omni and the dreamebot L2 ultra being out for a little while narrowing the explanation to a single companies product line doesn't really help unless it's part of a review

I had iRobot products for years but when I picked up a Roborock I realized how much of a joke the iRobot product line is. Roborock is leagues beyond!

iRobot should be so embarrassed about how far behind they’ve fallen. What a boring product launch!

Even their top of the line is playing catch-up with Roborock. And because they still use cameras instead of lasers it is an inferior product. Conclusion: buy a Roborock instead

It sounds like the chinese manufacteurs are way ahead of iRobot. I prefer a trustworthy brand like iRobot, but, they are way behind the times. They don't even have self-cleaning brushes yet.

who thought this naming scheme was a good idea?

first the Chinese copied Roomba, and now Roomba is copying the Chinese; whom normalised combo mop robovacs. What a time to be alive. These are the competitive Vacuum wars we need. It's hard to maintain the appearance of the premium aloof western brands when there are many asian brands now whom are also undeniably premium. Good on Roomba and I hope for new tech innovations or adoptions from them in the future.

You mean the Chinese stole the tech that Roomba spent years and an ungodly amount of time to develop.

Just changed my comparison wish list, I'm ready to pull the trigger but trying to decide is killing me! Anybody have an opinion? Ecovacs Deebot X2 Omni for $1499 (or $1199 with the pre-order coupon) iRobot J9+ Combo - $1399 DreameBot L20 Ultra - $1499 Roborock S8 Pro Ultra - $1599

So... this is a news release read from their documents, and not an actual review? Why bother?

It’s really gross to call their navigation top of the line. It’s clearly one of the worst and as someone who owns one and two roborocks… if you want to declare this navigation top of the line what do you call roborock?

Ngl, Irobot just feels like they're getting left behind, it took them this long to make a combo mop unit? Plus their software is, well, less than perfect.
