iRobot introduces Roomba® i3+, and once again expands the series of intelligent robot vacuums with Clean Base®
With intelligent navigation, Clean Base® - external dustbin, personalized cleaning suggestions, and a new design, the Roomba® i3+ robot vacuum adapts to your life and needs
Denmark, January 2021 – iRobot Corp. (NASDAQ: IRBT), the market leader in household robots, is now expanding its range with the launch of the new Roomba® i3+ - a robot vacuum packed with advanced features and a sleek new design. With a suggested retail price of DKK 5499, the Roomba i3+ offers intelligent navigation, automatic emptying of the robot's dustbin with Clean Base®, and an extended range of personalized cleaning features, all enabled via iRobot Genius™ Home Intelligence.
”Innovative cleaning experiences have been, and will always be, fundamental to our range,” said Keith Hartsfield, executive vice president and chief product officer at iRobot. ”We have continuously proven that we deliver products that make consumers' lives easier. Roomba i3+ expands our range – and offers not only extraordinary cleaning ability but even more personalization and control thanks to iRobot Genius. The iRobot Genius platform also gives the Roomba i3+ the ability to evolve and become smarter over time, providing customers with new ways to clean their homes.”
Remove vacuuming from your to-do list
Just like the iRobot Roomba i7+ and Roomba s9+ robot vacuums, the Roomba i3+ is equipped with Clean Base® - external dustbin. With Clean Base® – external dustbin, the robot's dustbin is emptied automatically, without your help. You therefore don't have to think about emptying the robot's dustbin for months at a time or worry about the robot not finishing the job due to a full dustbin. Roomba i3+ automatically empties up to 60 days of dirt and debris into the Clean Base®, which also serves as the robot's charging station. The collected dirt and debris end up in a sealed AllergenLock™ bag, which consists of a 4-layer allergen-blocking material and captures 99% of pollen and mold.
Roomba i3+ cleans purposefully and logically in straight lines. It navigates through multiple rooms and handles both hard floor surfaces and carpets. If the battery level is low, Roomba i3+ automatically returns to recharge, then resumes cleaning until the job is done.
Roomba i3+ is also equipped with a High Efficiency filter that captures 99% of pollen, mold, dust mites, and cat and dog allergens. The robot's 3-stage cleaning system consists of Dual Multi-Surface rubber brushes that work together to ensure effective cleaning, a specially designed side brush for cleaning along edges and in corners, and 10x higher suction power compared to the Roomba 600 series. Thanks to the patented Dirt Detect™ technology, Roomba i3+ knows where it's extra dirty and ensures a more thorough cleaning there.
Adapts to your life and listens to your voice
Roomba i3+ is equipped with a new design with a durable, woven texture that minimizes fingerprints and collects less dust. The light ring only lights up to communicate necessary robot behavior and/or messages while the robot is cleaning. This way, it doesn't draw unnecessary attention and fits well into any home.
With the redesigned iRobot Home App, powered by iRobot Genius™, you get even more out of your Roomba i3+. Here you have the opportunity for greater app control, ensuring you a personalized cleaning experience. Available for iOS and Android devices, iRobot's advanced artificial intelligence and understanding of the home give Roomba i3+ the ability to learn your cleaning preferences. Roomba i3+ will offer you personalized suggestions via the iRobot Home app, such as recommended cleaning schedules based on previous cleaning tasks and helpful cleaning suggestions during pollen season and when your pets shed a lot.
Exclusive to iRobot users, event-based automations can be created directly in the iRobot Home app – powered by iRobot Genius™ and IFTTT Connect. Whether you're on the go, at work, or out for a walk, the iRobot Home app can receive reminders from smart home devices, such as the August Wi-Fi Smart Lock, to know when you're away and therefore start cleaning. With the help of Google Assistant or Alexa-enabled devices, you can control Roomba i3+ with your voice. Roomba i3+ is also equipped with Imprint Link™ technology, which means it can collaborate with Braava jet® m6 to automatically start mopping after vacuuming is complete.
