Those of us who have robot vacuum cleaners or broom robots know well which is the worst of their drawbacks: Having to empty the usually tiny tank they hold. That is where a certain grime accumulates that you may not have imagined was in your home, although they are almost essential when we have pets or are allergic.
Roomba wants to end the problem of emptying its robots when the tank is full, but now you will have another one just as serious, each bag costs five euros. This is how the world's most popular robot cleaner company wants to make your life even easier.
It is clear that Roomba has never been one of the cheapest firms, but it is one of the pioneers in everything that moves in the world of robot vacuum cleaners. This new system will be integrated into the Roomba i7 +, a version that includes an emptying system in the charging station, when the robot reaches it it will drive the dirt and dirt stored by a tube that will be directed to a bag (proprietary, of course ) that will store it and that you can easily empty into any garbage can. The problem is the one mentioned above, Roomba will sell you these bags, which are simple bags with a peculiar proprietary and exclusive design, for the modest price of five euros per unit.
However, Roomba ensures that these bags are capable of storing up to thirty complete cleanings, however, those of us who have pets know well that hair can enlarge the size of the absorbed garbage and create knots, which will occupy much more space in the bag in much less cleanings. However, if what interests you is only the new model, you can get a version without emptying tank from 699 euros, in contrast to the 949 euros that the version with deposit costs or the 299 euros that the deposit costs if we buy it separately. Of course, you can connect to the iPhone thanks to its application for iOS and we can perform tasks such as starting vacuuming remotely or modifying the programming.
With this launch, there are more and more robot vacuum cleaner models on the market and it is more difficult to choose which Roomba to buy. It is good to have different ranges for all budgets but in the case of Roomba, the variety is so wide and sometimes there are so few differences between models that it only creates confusion for the user because they do not know if they are making the right purchase.
In any case, we will have to wait to see how this new product works and, above all, wait for the reaction of other companies such as Cecotec or even Xiaomi to see what solution they offer us.
