iRobot, a leader in consumer robots, has introduced the Roomba Combo Essential robot, a budget-friendly and user-friendly 2-in-1 robot vacuum and mop.
Priced at $275, the Roomba Combo Essential embodies the beloved cleaning essentials of the best-selling Roomba 600 Series, enhanced with superior performance and an impressive array of features, promising a simplified cleaning experience.
The company has also announced crossing the significant milestone of selling over 50 million robots worldwide.
The Roomba Combo Essential, powered by iRobot OS, represents the company’s simplest and most economical offering in the realm of 2-in-1 robot vacuum and mop solutions. Featuring a sleek, low-profile design, this innovative robot boasts a 4-Stage Cleaning System comprising adjustable suction and liquid settings, a specialized V-Shaped Multi-Surface Brush, an Edge-Sweeping Brush, and a pump-fed microfiber mop pad, effectively vacuuming and mopping hard floors in a single pass.
Distinguishing itself from the Roomba 600 Series, the Roomba Combo Essential elevates cleaning standards with its added mopping function and a remarkable 18 times more suction power. Enhanced features include the ability to clean in organized rows, customizable suction and liquid settings, Clean Map reports, extended battery life, and intelligent iRobot OS automations such as Clean While I’m Away and suggested cleaning schedules.
Barry Schliesmann, Chief Product Officer at iRobot, remarked, “As iRobot surpasses more than 50 million robots sold worldwide, we’re honoring that legacy with the introduction of the affordable Roomba Combo Essential, which cleans even better and does more than its predecessor.”
The Roomba Combo Essential empowers users with a seamless cleaning experience, allowing them to effortlessly manage their cleaning routines via the iRobot Home app or simple voice commands. With customizable features and intelligent navigation, this innovative solution ensures thorough cleaning while navigating around furniture.
In addition to the Roomba Combo Essential, iRobot also unveiled the Roomba Vac Essential, tailored for customers in North America, offering comparable intelligence and features in a vacuum-only configuration.
