iRobot Japan launches the robot vacuum cleaner "Rumba i7+" that changes the common sense of cleaning

Rumba i7, developed by iRobot, a leading company in household robots, is the first to introduce Imprint™ smart mapping and Clean Base™ (automatic garbage collector). Roomba learns and memorizes the layout of your house, allowing you to freely choose where to clean. Combined with the Clean Base™, it automatically collects the dust in the bin, so you don't have to worry about cleaning the floor for weeks or more. Bringing a whole new level of intelligence and automation to the convenience of the "Roomba i7+" will release the burden of cleaning the floor and change the common sense of cleaning. "Rumba i7" is equipped with iRobot's innovative iAdapt®3.0 visual localization technology, which creates maps (floor plans) of up to 10 different floors and grasps the exact location information of the Rumba itself. It seamlessly and efficiently cleans your home by remembering exactly where you've cleaned and where you haven't. In addition, it can memorize multiple floor plans and room types such as living room and kitchen, so users can clean only specific rooms set by the user themselves, or adjust the cleaning range for each day of the week and time. In addition, "Rumba i7+" comes with a clean base (automatic garbage collector). The Clean Base™, which doubles as a charging station for the robot, sucks up the dust in the dust container of the Roomba body after cleaning is completed, and automatically discharges the dust into a sealed paper pack inside the Clean Base™, allowing the dust and dirt to escape into the air. Seal it so that no one can escape inside. The carton can hold up to 30 Roomba bins, so you won't have to worry about cleaning it for weeks or more. In addition, the paper pack can be easily pulled out and replaced without getting your hands dirty, saving you the trouble of throwing away the trash. "Rumba i7" is a Wi-Fi® compatible model. By operating the iRobot® HOME app*1 on your smartphone, you can start cleaning the Roomba from outside*2, or use Google Assistant or Amazon Alexa to clean a specific room just by speaking to it. . Equipped with a cleaning system based on Roomba's unique patented technology, AeroForce® 3-stage cleaning system, power lift suction with 10 times * 3 more suction power and two rubber dual-action brushes that prevent hair from getting tangled. It is equipped with a number of functions that pursue practicality, such as lifting it up and scraping it off, and firmly adhering to various floors such as flooring and carpets, while reliably removing even fine dust and pet hair. iRobot Corporation CEO Colin Angle said: “The Roomba i7’s new and advanced features will bring convenience to even more customers and fulfill the original vision we had when we started developing robotic vacuum cleaners nearly 20 years ago. As a pioneer of robotic vacuum cleaners, iRobot will continue to contribute with innovative robotics technology to give users more free time and improve their quality of life.

When cleaning is completed, the “Rumba i7+” automatically discharges the dust in the dust container of the Rumba body into a sealed paper pack inside the Clean Base™. It can collect 30 dust containers worth of garbage, saving you the trouble of throwing away the garbage. In addition, the collected garbage can be thrown away together with the paper pack, so your hands will not get dirty and dust will not scatter.

"Rumba i7" is a high-speed response process iAdapt® 3.0 visual localization equipped with high-performance sensors. increase. It can distinguish between the first and second floors (up to 10 different floor plans can be remembered), and it knows exactly where it is, so it can clean each room with the best pattern. In addition, rooms can be managed with names such as "kitchen" and "living room", so you can set the room and time to be cleaned for each day of the week and freely control the cleaning schedule. In addition, you can divide one room on the app and instruct cleaning only for a specific area.

■AeroForce® 3-stage cleaning system and power lift suction "Rumba i7" is equipped with an AeroForce® 3-stage cleaning system that floats dust and powerfully sucks it, fine dust and pollen is filtered out. Power lift suction with 10 times*3 more suction power cleans up pet hair as well as large debris. For places with a lot of dust and dirt, Dirt Detect Technology detects places with a lot of dirt with a sensor and cleans them intensively until it is judged to be clean.

■ Edge cleaning brush, rubber dual-action brush, washable dust containerThe unique angle of iRobot is designed to remove hard-to-remove dust around furniture legs, along walls, and in corners of rooms. The edge cleaning brush moves and cleans according to the situation on the spot. In addition, the rubber dual-action brush, which prevents hair from tangling, lifts and scrapes out dust while the second brush rotates in the opposite direction, allowing it to adhere perfectly to various floors such as flooring and carpets. Make sure you remove the dust while you're at it. Because it is made of rubber, it is difficult for hair and pet hair to get tangled, making it easy to clean. We have also adopted a dust container that can be washed with water, which was first used in the Roomba℮5 and was well received.

Also, by using Google Assistant or Amazon Alexa, it is possible to operate Roomba just by talking.

Soft-touch bumpers, dual virtual walls that allow Roomba to control no-go areas, and when the battery runs low in the middle of cleaning, it automatically returns to the Home Base or Clean Base™ to recharge and resume cleaning after charging. It is full of functions that are possible only because it is a rumba equipped with a high-performance sensor and camera, such as functions. In addition, the dust cut filter made of a special material captures 99% of allergens caused by pets such as mold, pollen, mites, dogs and cats as well as visible dust. ■ Main functions
