Q. How does the s Series provide superior cleaning?

A. The Roomba s9+ robot vacuum’s superior suction power combines with PerfectEdge® Technology for our deepest clean yet*. With a unique Maximized-Edge Design, advanced sensors, and corner brush specially designed with 5 angled arms, the robot grabs dirt and debris from deep in corners and along walls, directing it into the robot’s path to be vacuumed up. The 3-Stage Cleaning System uses Dual Multi-Surface Rubber Brushes that instantly adjust and flex to help thoroughly clean carpets and hard floors, and 40X the suction** to pull in embedded dirt, debris, and pet hair from wherever it hides. *Compared to Roomba® 600 seris.

Q. What is the benefit of having the Clean Base™ Automatic Dirt Disposal unit?

A. The Clean Base™ Automatic Dirt Disposal unit eliminates the dusty and dirty mess often associated with emptying vacuum bins. The Clean Base™ Automatic Dirt Disposal unit enables Roomba s Series to take convenience to whole new level – automatically emptying up to 60 bins into the Clean Base, which also serves as Roomba’s charging dock.

Q. What is Imprint™ Smart Mapping?

A: Imprint™ Smart Mapping technology describes the robot’s ability to learn, map and adapt to your home. Roomba® s9 learns your floorplan as it cleans and remembers this map for future cleaning jobs – this enables the robot to determine the best way to clean based on the orientation of each room, furniture placement, etc. Once the robot has learned your space and you have labeled your rooms, your Smart Map also enables you to direct Roomba to clean a specific room, multiple rooms, or an entire level of your home all from the iRobot HOME App.

Q. How does Roomba® build its Smart Map and know your rooms?

A. Roomba® s9 builds a map of the area each time it starts a new cleaning job. After cleaning the same space a few times, the robot produces a Smart Map that you can customize in the iRobot HOME App. You can merge, split and label rooms as you see fit. After that, you can even set a schedule so that the Roomba® s series cleans certain rooms on specific days at certain times, or an entire level of your home on the days you choose.

iRobot® Braava jet® m Series

Q. How is the Braava jet m6 different than the Braava jet 240?

A. The Braava jet® m6 Robot Mop is intended for large, whole home mopping and sweeping, whereas the Braava jet® 240 is intended for smaller spaces, like the bathroom and kitchen. Like the Roomba i and s series robots, Braava jet m6 uses Imprint™ Smart Mapping to get to know the home's floor plan, giving users total control to choose which rooms are cleaned and when. And because Braava jet m6 is Wi-Fi connected, users can schedule the robot via the iRobot HOME app or initiate a cleaning mission with voice control when the robot is paired with Alexa™ enabled devices or the Google Assistant. Equipped with a Home Base, Braava jet m6 will automatically recharge, as needed, and continue cleaning until the job is complete.

Like the Braava jet 240, the Braava jet m6 features wet mopping and dry sweeping modes. In wet mopping mode, users can add Braava jet Hard Floor Cleaning Solution to add a long-lasting fresh scent. In dry sweeping mode, the dry sweeping pad uses electrostatic force to capture dirt, dust and (pet) hair.

The Braava jet m6 also supports Imprint Link™ Technology which enables these robots to intelligently communicate with the Roomba s or i series to deliver an extra level of clean by automatically vacuuming then mopping, just the way a human would.

Q. What is Imprint Link™ Technology and how does it work?

A. Imprint Link™ Technology enables robots to intelligently communicate with each other – working in sequence to get the job done. With Imprint Link™ Technology, the Roomba i and s series work together with Braava jet m series to deliver an extra level of clean by automatically vacuuming then mopping, just the way a human would. You can initiate an automated sequential cleaning in the iRobot HOME App, where you have the option to choose specific rooms for the robots to clean or choose the whole home. The Roomba i or s series will first go out and vacuum the selected area. Once the Roomba successfully completes the job, Braava jet m6 will leave its dock and begin mopping.

Q. How does m6 utilize Wet Mopping and Dry Sweeping pads?

A. Attach a Braava jet cleaning pad and the Robot automatically selects the appropriate cleaning method for the pad. Wet Mopping pads feature wicking fibers to help break-up kitchen grease, grime^*, and sticky messes. When Wet Mopping pads are attached, Precision Jet Spray loosens dirt and sticky messes without spraying furniture, rugs, or walls. Add Braava jet™ Hard Floor Cleaner for a long-lasting, fresh scent. Dry Sweeping pads use electrostatic force to capture dirt, dust, and pet hair.
