That's the best comparison I have seen. Thank you for listing everything on the screen. The names are hard to keep up with.

I would love to see review of just the software of robot vac brands, how good is the mapping, the app, any weird quirks etc.

Just got the J9+ Combo this last week and once you get it all setup and have your house mapped properly - WOW! Like holy WOW! It takes a few days and you might need to map several times then manually set each room but after that that j9 keeps all the dog hair and paw prints off my wood floors like a dream.

[arevee]

The J9+ is the only one with a clean water tank? And there is no mop pad cleaning? That's kind of a joke. Other robots have been doing that for several years.

Thanks vacuum wars… keep the content coming

[ashishm]

Wow, such a short and still thorough video. Kudos to you and big thanks 🙏

[rcmaniac]

An interesting thing I saw was a magazine interviewed iRobot's CEO and asked why the j9+ doesn't wash the pads, and she responded that it wasn't sanitary. That heat + darkness + water over time would make it more likely for bacteria and mold to grow on the pads and parts. Meaning you still need to manually clean the base station and pads. So for now, they don't do that because they would want to make sure it sanitizes the pads to prevent such growths from occurring.

I feel like that's a bit of a cop out... but also, she has a point. People already complain about needing to buy bags and such instead of a reusable bin... what's the chances that they're going to always be buying cleaning solution and putting it in the tank too?

[BenjoRealm]

The J9 is intriguing! Looking forward to it's review, and also a "J9+ vs S9+ vs RoboRock S8 Ultra"! And as always, awesome video, keep it up!

[catherinefitch]

please compare the effectiveness of mopping of the j9+ vs a comparable roborock. I want something that can deal with dog hair AND tracks from dirty paws. My i7 still wraps all the dog hair around the rollers which means it has to be cleaned after every use.

[MrBlueCreeper]

Kinda disappointing there is no self washing

[a.o.]

Perfect video. All the information you need. iRobot should pay you.

[GameKollector]

Just get a Roborock Q Revo…Simple and effective and priced great.

iRobot just trying to confuse everyone with all these models.

[PaulHo]

I feel like the right move is a budget robovac and a premium vacmop. Eufy robot, but Tineco S5/S7.

[hollya]

PLEASE review the Narwhal Freo mop vacuum robot, it's a newer brand that seems promising in this category and I want to see the detailed performance 🙏🙏

[richardplumb]

LIDAR might make for faster mapping and less bumping into things, but mapping is a one time thing so not a big deal, and my i7 navigates pretty well. I don't care what tech it uses if it works, and at this point irobot's software is likely heavily built around vslam and vision based navigation. Although weirdly I'm pretty sure my old 660 used to be much softer at navigating, slowing down and just gently tapping walls before turning around. the i7 just bounces into them like it doesn't care

[mikearrigo]

Based on the description of these new robots, Irobot is still behind the times. First, they are still using VSLAM, they should have switched to Lidar since Lidar is much better at creating a map. It will be interesting to see what the battery size is in these new bots. I have no idea what the price will be on these but the combo J9 is still missing some major features that other high end robots have. It can now refill the water tank which is good but it doesn't clean the mop pad, you still need to do that yourself and the mop does not vibrate or spin.

[Denquu]

Looking forward to the J9 review. Also curious to see what improvements (apart from mopping and software-features) are made in four years over the S9.

[JeshieWafflez]

"They all make a map of your home." Yeah... I'll just do it myself. xD

[de_stroyed]

irobot cannot compete anymore with the other big players in this space.

[anaruable]

Precision Vision Navigation 😂 such a great name
