The iRobot Roomba Combo j9+ is a highly autonomous robot vacuum, but how does it stack up to the more affordable (and newer) Roomba Combo Essential?
The iRobot Roomba Combo j9+ is one of the most versatile robots of 2024, making it easy to keep all types of floors clean without getting your hands dirty. Along with the ability to vacuum and mop in a single run, it can automatically empty its dustbin, which makes it a shockingly autonomous addition to any home. However, some of those same skills can be found in the affordable Roomba Combo Essential Robot, which carries a much more agreeable price tag.
Recommended Videos Pricing and availability The Roomba Combo j9+ costs $1,400 and is readily available at a variety of retailers. The Roomba Combo Essential Robot is much more affordable at just $275 and is available through the iRobot website. The j9+ looks much more premium , with a bronze accent in the center of the robot and a gorgeous docking station.
Once the j9+ is done cleaning, it’ll return to its dock and automatically empty its dustbin into the docking station. Depending on how dirty your home is, the dustbin can go up to 60 days before needing to be replaced. By comparison, the Combo Essential is pretty underwhelming. Its dock doesn’t have a water reservoir, so you’ll likely need to refill it after each mopping cycle. It also doesn’t use a swinging arm to stow away its mop when traveling on carpet. As for its actual mopping technique, it doesn’t employ the SmartScrub technology, meaning it essentially just drags the wet mop across your floors to clean them.Additional features There aren’t many additional features on the Roomba Combo Essential.
