Beginners of Rumba should only buy! Irobot CEO "I7 +", which says "Dream I've been aiming for"

Irobot Japan is the first in the robot vacuum cleaner Rumba for the first time in March, "Rumba I7 +" (Irobot Store Price 129880 yen, excluding tax) with the floor plan and a clean base (automatic garbage collection machine).It was announced that it will be released on the 8th.It is the successor to the "Rumba 980", but this is not just an update model.

A model that realizes the "dreams that developers have aimed at"

One of the developers in Rumba, Colin Angle, the company's CEO, says, "I've realized my dreams I've been aiming for since I started developing robot vacuum cleaners about 20 years ago."It is a model that can be said to be a shape.

The dream is to clean the room without people touching Rumba.How will Rumba i7 change cleaning and living during the smart home era, which is in full swing?

Remember the floor plan and clean it efficiently with the optimal pattern

According to Colin Angle, Rumba is important to work smartly.Therefore, "Rumba I7" is a new high -speed response process IADAPT3.0 Equipped with visual localization.This "IADAPT3.How amazing is "0" is "IADAPT2" mounted on Rumba 980.."IADAPT3" while the information processing speed of "0" is 293 million times per second..The processing speed of "0" is 9.88 billion times.You can see that it is uploaded so much that it is incomparable.

This makes it possible to make "IMPRINT Smart Mapping".Here, this unit learned the floor plan while cleaning, and remember the map.It is a function to determine the best cleaning method based on the direction of each room and the arrangement of furniture.As a result, Rumba i7 has always been able to learn about the layout of the house, learn and learn the floor plan, and clean it in the optimal pattern.In addition, Rumba 980 was erased every time the cleaning was completed, so I was cleaning while drawing a new floor plan every time, but Rumba i7 is memorized and can be cleaned efficiently.

Name each room and specify "which room to clean"

In addition to remembering the floor plan, it is amazing that it automatically corrects the position of the chair, the thing is placed, and even if the situation changes from the previous cleaning.In addition to distinguishing the first and second floors, you can remember the floor plan for up to 10 floors, and if you name each room, such as "kitchen" or "living room", you can freely decide which room to clean.

Rumba i7 operations, settings, and schedule management can be performed from the smartphone that has downloaded the dedicated app.The category of the room can be easily set by running the Rumba i7 and adding a border to the finished outline.If you connect to a smart speaker, you can operate it with voice.

Significantly reduces the trouble of throwing garbage on a clean base that can accumulate 30 cups of garbage

Another feature function that realizes Colin Angle's "clean the room cleanly without touching Rumba" is an automatic garbage collection function mounted on the "Rumba i7 +" charging stand (clean base).。Rumba automatically returns to clean base when cleaning is completed, but the clean base sucks the dust of the dust container on the rumba body and automatically emits into the inside paper pack.There is no need to throw away trash every time you clean the conventional cleaning.

After returning to the clean base, automatically sucks garbage.The sound is quite large, but it is about 10 seconds.

You can collect 30 cups of garbage in the paper pack, so you don't have to worry about cleaning for a few weeks.If you pull out the full paper pack, the shutter will be automatically closed, so it can be suppressed dust.I can't see the inside of the paper pack, but when the garbage is full, it will tell you with a lamp, so it's easy to understand and it's safe.

The model "Rumba I7" that omits the clean base will also be released.This is released on February 22, and the price of the eyelobot store is 99,880 yen.It is 30,000 yen cheaper than Rumba I7 +, so if you want to enjoy advanced functions such as "IMPRINT Smart Mapping" while reducing the price, this is recommended.

The suction power is 10 times that of the spreading model

In addition, the suction system is equipped with a Rumba I7 + and Rumba I7, which is equipped with a "AeroForce 3 -stage cleaning system".The first of the two dual action brushes floats the garbage and stirs, and the second is rotated the brush to float the garbage and suck powerfully.Its suction power is 10 times the Rumba 600 series, two times as powerful as the "Rumba E5" with the same brush!In addition, the dust cut filter captures 99 % of allergens such as dust, pollen, and ticks.The dust container is a specification that follows the "Rumba E5", allowing the whole water to wash.

According to Motomoto Motomino, President of the I robot Japan, I robot has recorded the first annual sales of $ 1 billion in 2018 in 2018, and has increased its sales volume 24 % year -on -year.It is said that the total number of robots sold has exceeded 25 million units.

Of course, it is strong in Japan, and the annual sales of Irobot Japan in 2018 have achieved a record high.The sales amount increased 25 % year -on -year, and the cumulative shipment of robots exceeded 3 million units.In particular, the robot vacuum cleaner has been declared as "one in one family", and since the launch of the high cost performance strategic model "Rumba E5" (49,980 yen excluding tax) in October, the Rumba household penetration rate is 4..5 % to 4.We have recorded amazing numbers, such as increasing to 9 %.

Mr. Mitsuno says, "The future home appliances are safe, secure and comfortable than people do it."For laundry or dishwashing, it is more advantageous to leave it to a washing machine or dishwasher rather than by hand, so it is more "time saving" to clean the floor with a robot vacuum cleaner.He said that he would spread not only the comfort but also the comfort.The future goal is to aim for a household penetration rate of 10 % in 2023.

As part of that, the price was greatly reviewed.The “Rumba i7 +” with a clean base, which is newly introduced this time, is much higher than the conventional top model “Rumba 980” (125,000 yen), but the price is almost the same as 129,880 yen.The "Rumba i7" without a clean base is 99,880 yen, which is 30,000 yen cheaper than the conventional Rumba 980.With the appearance of "Rumba i7", the "Rumba 980" has ended production.

In addition, the "Rumba 960" is reduced to 69,880 yen for the conventional price of 89,880 yen, and the "Rumba 643" can be purchased at a reasonable price of 29,880 yen at the conventional price of 39,880 yen.

Speaking of extreme theory, the only user does the first smartphone setting

The author felt that the appearance of this "Rumba i7 +" has been dispelled at once the difficulty of using Rumba.For example, in the conventional model, if there is a room that does not want to enter in the same house, there is no choice but to close the door or create an invisible wall with the attached virtual wall, but this is the only room with the smartphone operation.You can choose whether to clean or not.The cleaning method is cleaned one by one from the corner, so there is no waste!

Even if the garbage is thrown away, you can leave it until the clean -based paper pack is full, so the only user will do the first smartphone setting.After that, Rumba thinks and acts on its own.There is also a tax increase in the consumption tax in October 2019, and if you are worried if you can use a robot vacuum cleaner well, it may be better to choose the "Rumba i7" series than to try it with a low -cost model.。
