Honestly, what is so different just by app update ...

The IoT Home Appliances, which has the function of connecting to the Internet, has been increasing globally in recent years.IoT home appliances have realized more convenient and more useful uses than ever before by connecting the Internet and home appliances.However, on the other hand, many people do not use IoT home appliances because they seem to be difficult to connect and do not need to operate with smartphones.

IoT home appliances can be operated on a smartphone, of course, but there are other significant benefits.

That is, it will be smarter and more convenient without replacement.IoT home appliances can add new features or evolve according to those who use it with software updates.

I robots, which sell "Rumba Bravaba" in the worldwide, are companies that are not only the performance of the main unit but also focusing on software research and development.I robots have a track record of selling more than 30 million robot vacuum cleaners worldwide, and 6.9 million units have already been connected to the app.Based on a huge amount of data, we provide new cleaning experiences that match the user's preferences and lifestyles, and has a one -way function compared to other companies.

And in late August, the company announced the software "IROBOT GENIUS) Home Intelligence, a software called" the largest update in iRobot history. "

When I heard this news, I was honestly anxious.

However, the "IROBOT HOME" app has repeatedly updated that emphasizes "ease of use".Even if the function is added, the fact that the user operates the items that the user operate will decrease dramatically, and the operation becomes easier and easier.

Rumba has focused on simple operability from the user's point of view, which can start cleaning by just pressing the CLEAN button on the main unit.The robot vacuum cleaner "Rumba" with a higher-end model Wi-Fi connection function and the floor wiping robot "Buraba" are also equipped with various functions, but not only Wi-Fi connection is easy, but of course users are difficult to operate.Because you do not have to do it, the usability is outstanding.This time, it is a great update that is closer to users, so it seems that we can expect it.

Genius means "genius".The main unit is the same as the software update, but what has changed?I borrowed Rumba and Bravaba and used it immediately.

This time, I borrowed two models, "Rumba i7+" and "Brava Jet M6"."Rumba i7+" is a robot vacuum cleaner that can be sucked up to detailed dust, and the "Brava Jet M6" can be wiped and wiped.

Both can be connected by Wi-Fi, and it is a high-end model that allows you to create a map of the room by automatic mapping by various sensors.If the two are too close, it will not work well, so I put it in my home a little away.

First, the connection of the Wi-Fi with a surprisingly high hurdle.Many people are frustrated here.Even the author who is accustomed to IoT home appliances has given up without a good product made by other companies.

With the "IROBOT HOME" app, I was able to connect from the beginning without hesitation.The procedure is displayed in an easy-to-understand manner in the illustration, so if you have a Wi-Fi password, you can connect immediately by just proceeding in order without looking at the instruction manual.

The robot vacuum cleaner will accurately recognize the shape of the room after cleaning several times, and will be able to clean it on an efficient cleaning route.

In addition, Rumba and Bravaba can separate maps on the app side, set the name "living room" and "kitchen", and specify "cleaning only the kitchen".Up to this point, it was done with the previous application, but it was convenient and used well.

Furthermore, since the "IROBOT HOME" app is updated, it has been increasing.

What was very convenient was that the cleaning area could be specified on the app.In particular, it was possible to partially clean dirt, and it was no longer necessary to take the time to clean the entire room as before.

In my home, I registered the tables under the table where children often spill and around the kitchen sink, respectively.Until now, it was possible to specify each room, but it can be partially specified, so if it gets dirty, you can leave it quickly.

Every time I prepared a meal, I cleaned the sink under the sink, where the water jumps and gets dirty.I went straight, without hitting the furniture, cleaned the bottom and came back.The floor is clean and clean.

[Brava] The kitchen that is a little far away is also a straight line.It does not hit an obstacle.I carefully wiped and cleaned and came back straight.(2x speed)

Also, in Rumba, I specified the bottom of the table and cleaned it.It is difficult to clean every time because the child often spills sweets.

When you start cleaning the "table", carefully clean under the table.If you use Rumba, you can rest assured that you can remove fine garbage.I was surprised to go straight to the destination without waste, and after cleaning, I came back straight.In addition, it is a function that can be used quickly even at home because it ends in a short time.

[Rumba] The sweets dropped under the chair are also firmly sucked.(2x speed)

In addition, it is possible to freely control the parts where the cord is messed up and the place where you want to clean it if you set it in combination with a "prohibited area of a pet drinking place" and a place you want to clean.

You can name your daily cleaning pattern and register "Favorites" and set where to clean.As a trial, I named "After Meal" and selected two places, "Table" and "Under the Sink".If you start this and start after dinner, you can clean only under the table that is easy to get dirty after a meal and under the sink.Since it is possible to cooperate with Bravaba, it is possible to clean and clean with Bravaba after removing garbage with rumba.

In particular, a large living room takes a long time to clean one room, but it can be cleaned only under the dirty table, so it ends in a short time.Once registered, it was very easy to call your favorite on your smartphone.

The more you use the "IROBOT HOME" app, the more personalized cleaning methods will be performed according to the user's preference and usage status.For example, it automatically detects areas where robots often stop, such as places with many wiring, and proposes such as "Would you like to set this area to be allowed?"

In addition, depending on the location information, it provides suggestions that match the season due to the pollen and allergies in the area used by the user.During the pet hair change period, it will also be helpful because it will also propose cleaning frequency.

In this way, it is possible to maintain a more comfortable situation in the house because the user uses the user's usage status individually and the app proposes various ways to use it.

The "IROBOT HOME" app that learns and becomes smarter and evolves according to the lifestyle of the user.You can freely set the area and timing to clean according to your lifestyle, so you don't have to operate each time in detail, so it's easy.The control of the app has evolved the robot vacuum cleaner significantly and makes it easier to use, but users are away from the annoying operation.I couldn't imagine that the main unit was the same, but it would be so easy to use just by updating software.

The model that can set the cleaning area is the Rumba S9 series, the I series, and the Brava Jet M6 series.The "IROBOT HOME" app, which can be used in all lineups, has a very easy Wi-Fi connection, so when considering an i robot product, be sure to consider the presence or absence of an application.
