Rumba, trial service for 1980 yen for 2 weeks

IRobot Japan has revised the cleaning robot subscription service "Robot Smart Plan +", making the trial two-week course uniform for all models at 1,980 yen, and the top model "Rumba s9 +". Add it to the monthly course lineup.

The "Robot Smart Plan" launched in 2019 is a service that allows people who are considering a robot vacuum cleaner to actually try and confirm their concerns such as "Does it fit the environment at home?" . Since the service revision in June 2020, the cumulative number of users in April 2021 has increased 20 times.

The “2-week trial course” with a contract period of 14 days has been changed to 1,980 yen for all models. This makes it easier to pick and choose what you like. However, some models such as Roomba s9 + are not eligible. After the rental ends, if you purchase the same type of product at the iRobot official online store, you will receive a full cashback equivalent to the rental fee, and if you switch to the monthly flat-rate "Anshin Continuation Course", the trial 2-week course cost of 1,980 yen will be reduced. There are benefits such as cashback, free for the first month, and a 3-year warranty. Furthermore, if you use the same robot even after changing the course, the monthly fee will be 10% off.

Also, until now, when switching from the "Trial 2-week course" to the "Anshin continuation course" with a fixed monthly fee, it was necessary to return the robot once, but It is said that there were many voices saying that it was inconvenient even though the room layout was memorized. Therefore, we made it unnecessary to return the robot when switching contracts, making it possible to use it more smoothly.

The Anshin Continuation Course is a flat-rate monthly service with a contract period of 36 months, and rents a new flagship Roomba s9 + for 5,480 yen per month. In addition, the monthly fee varies depending on the model, ranging from 980 yen to 5,480 yen per month.

To commemorate the service revision, a 3-month free campaign for the Anshin Continuation Course will be held from June 11th to July 18th. Compatible with Roomba i7, i7+, i3, i3+ and Braava jet m6. New applicants and those who go through the two-week trial course are also eligible.

Programming robot ``Root'' low-priced version

The programming robot ``Root'' has a lineup of low-priced ``Root rt0''. The price is 24,800 yen. The price was reduced by 5,000 yen from the conventional model "Root rt1".

An educational programming robot developed with a rumba motif. Using the dedicated app, you can easily learn to program by operating the icons. rt0 is a low-priced version by omitting some functions such as the ability to run a vertical whiteboard with a magnet. This will lower the introduction hurdle, and it is assumed that rt1, which has a function to run the whiteboard, will be used by teachers for explanations, and rt0 will be used by students on their desks.

Also, as common accessories for rt1 and rt0, there are the "Root Brick Top" (1,980 yen) that can incorporate block toys, the "Root Carry Bag" (6.980 yen), and the "Replacement Parts Kit" (3,480 yen). It will be released sequentially after July 8th.
