Hands-free cleaning around the house
This is an all-in-one cleaner that can tackle both wet and dry messes like a pro. The powerful suction, paired with dual mop pads, a multi‑surface rubber brush, and an edge‑sweeping brush, leaves your space sparkling after every session. It reaches deep into every corner of the space, and covers about 18% more floor area compared to its predecessor, which means you won’t have to go in and manually scrub the trickier spaces yourself.
For stubborn messes (that are usually dried out or sticky), it uses SmartScrub tech to apply some extra pressure on that specific area. This breaks down the tough particles, which the robot then removes without requiring any input from your side!
This Roomba is also smart enough to detect common household obstacles lying in its way and steer around them. It starts the session by creating a detailed map of the space it’s working with. Additionally, there are specialized sensors that keep it from falling off the stairs or other drop-offs.
What’s more, you get the option to customize the cleaning routine for each room. You can choose if you’d only like it to vacuum or mop, do a combination of both, or even decide which one happens first. All these settings can be viewed/tweaked using the dedicated smartphone app, completely remotely. A voice assistant like Alexa can also come in handy here, as you can ask it to create a future cleaning schedule for the Roomba. For instance, if you want it to tackle the kitchen after everyone’s done having breakfast, you can say something like “Alexa, tell Roomba to vacuum and mop the kitchen at 10 am”.
Once it’s done cleaning, the robot vacuum returns to its dock, where the collected debris is emptied, and the mops are washed. The dock can hold debris for up to 75 days, so you can go more than two months without emptying it yourself.
