What is this robot vacuum cleaner from iRobot?
The Roomba Combo i8 is a robot vacuum cleaner that is necessarily practical on a daily basis, but also intelligent. In addition to its vacuum cleaner and mop combo that cleans and washes your floor, it comes with infrared sensors, useful for avoiding obstacles, and a mapping function which quickly proves essential. The Combo i8 can memorize your interior by mapping it, and thus identify areas to clean, avoid furniture and follow the plan to optimize its passages.
You can view and edit the map through the iRobot Home app, available on Android and iOS. The latter also allows you to program the automatic launch of the Roomba, plan a precise cleaning order, or control the vacuum cleaner by voice with the Amazon Alexa and Google Assistant voice assistants. Roomba is also able to perform personalized cleaning routines using its habits.
Is the Combo i8 worth it at less than €350?
This is an excellent deal for an efficient and reliable vacuum cleaner. In practice, the Combo i8’s rubber brush vacuums dust and animal hair from all types of floors. The debris is vacuumed up while the most encrusted traces are washed. Don’t expect performance equal to more premium vacuums, especially on long-pile carpets and in tight corners and corners. The Roomba is still perfectly suitable for most interiors, between 60 m² and 150 m².
In terms of autonomy, allow around 2 hours of cleaning, depending on the type of cleaning/washing and the condition of your floor. Once the battery is recharged, it will resume its cleaning where it left off. Note that the i8 does not have a drain tray, so you will have to regularly empty it yourself. If you want to save yourself the trouble of emptying it, the top model Roomba Combo i8+ has a base. The latter allows the vacuum cleaner to empty the collected dirt itself, up to 60 days of dust and debris. This i8+ model, also on sale, is available at the price of €499 instead of the usual €799.
