On another occasion, the robot sucked up a wayward charging cable, which promptly wrapped itself around the vacuum’s brush. As a result, when it had finished cleaning I was shocked at how well it had done. Two of the most versatile products in the iRobot lineup are the Roomba Combo j9+ and Roomba Combo j7+. These two devices are capable of vacuuming and mopping without any manual input — making them a compelling choice for anyone looking to streamline their floor-cleaning chores. I have not received my goods and they have taken my money if I cannot get customer service.
This data allows us to learn and constantly improve with software updates. No image data leaves the robot, and when any data is sent from the robot to Dyson, we ensure that it’s anonymous – we don’t receive any information about who the robot belongs to. The Roomba Combo j7+ was the first robot vacuum from iRobot to incorporate a irobot vacuum cleaner swinging mop arm into its design. This allowed it to mop and vacuum simultaneously, thanks to the ability to move its mop up when traveling on carpet. Now, iRobot has added the Roomba Combo j5+ to its lineup – and while it doesn’t use the same swinging arm technology, it’s still capable of mopping and vacuuming at the same time.
What’s even more impressive are Dyson’s claims that the 360 Vis Nav is about six times more powerful than any other robot vacuum on the market. Which for me, was always the one (and essential) factor I found to be disappointing in robot vacuums. With twice the suction power of any other robot vacuum, it’s engineered with Simultaneous Localization and Mapping (SLAM) technology that creates a 360-degree vision and remembers where it has been.

Deep cleans across all floor types, right up to the wall and under low furniture.
The most interesting change for this product, though, is the new shape. Dyson’s previous vacuums, the 360 Eye and 360 Heurist, have been taller and narrower than rival products built by iRobot and the like. This allows them tighter cornering around items like chair legs, but stops them from vacuuming under some furniture. It’s hard to gauge the exact dimensions of this new product (despite the inclusion of rulers in pictures, the perspective is confusing), but it does seem to be wider and flatter than the Eye and Heurist.
We’ve had to wait three years for Dyson’s new robot vacuum cleaner to be researched, developed, engineered, manufactured and tested – and fortunately, I think it’s been worth the wait. Meanwhile, the Dyson Submarine is the company’s first ever wet vacuum cleaner. It has a wet roller head that attaches bissell crosswave cordless to the new V15s Detect Submarine and V12s Slim submarine vacuums (but not any older models). It can not only remove dust and stains from hard floors, but even handle spills like ketchup. Finally, Dyson has introduced the Big+quiet Formaldehyde, a new air purifier designed for large homes.
