Few months after debuting a robot lawn mower, iRobot is back with two new robots: a vacuum cleaner and mop that can communicate with each other to clean up the home. The robot vacuum cleaner, Roomba s9+, works together with the robot mop, Braava jet m6, with the latter performing its task after sweeping is performed by the vacuum.
Features of the two robots include:
Roomba s9+
- 40X the suction of previous Roomba vacuums.
- Power Boost technology — to automatically add suction to pull in debris and dirt from deep within carpet fibers.
- iAdapt 3.0 navigation (enables it to keep track of where it’s been and where is yet to be cleaned)
- An advanced 3D sensor — that constantly scans what’s ahead of the robot at a rate of 25 times per second.
- Smart Mapping technology — to get familiar with home floor plans.
- Anti-Allergen System — to trap and lock pollen and mold allergens, keeping them from escaping the robot.
- Automatic disposal of contents once cleaning is done
- Voice command (Amazon Alexa and Google Assistant)

Braava jet m6
- iAdapt 3.0 navigation.
- Smart Mapping technology.
- Voice command (Amazon Alexa and Google Assistant).
- Addition of cleaning solution for scent.
- Reports and stats viewing of cleaning jobs.
- Two modes: wet mopping or dry sweeping.
- Can get into corners and along edges.
- Advanced navigation — around furniture, rugs, and other obstacles.
- Automatic recharge once battery runs low
Users can initiate both robots to work together at choice. Via the iRobot Home app, both robots can be made to clean either specific rooms or an entire level of the home. They’ll work in sequence, meaning once the Roomba docks, the Braava jet m6 leaves it dock to begin mopping.
The Roomba s9+ and Braava jet m6 will retail for $1,300 and $500 respectively in the U.S. and Canada. A base with automatic dirt disposal — for the Roomba s9+ — will be sold separately for $350. EMEA (Europe, the Middle East and Africa) customers will be able to get a Roomba s9+ equipped with automatic dirt disposal for €1,500 ($1,670) and a Braava jet m6 for €700 ($780).
The new robots will begin shipping on the 9th of June in U.S. and Canada and on the 12th of July in EMEA regions.
