iRobot Roomba Combo j9+
~C$799
The iRobot Roomba Combo j9+ is iRobot's flagship robot vacuum and mop combo. It vacuums and mops in a single pass, automatically lifting its mop pad when it detects carpet to avoid getting it wet. The self-emptying and auto-fill dock handles dustbin emptying, mop pad washing, and water tank refilling. PrecisionVision navigation avoids obstacles, and Smart Maps let you customize cleaning by room. The most hands-off robot vacuum experience available — you barely need to touch it.
