I've always longed for "Rumba to throw away my trash myself"

For the past few years, every time I went to the cleaning robot corner of a home appliance store, I was staring at Roomba with my finger. Especially the model with "clean base (automatic garbage collector)". Roomba, who has collected all the trash in the room, returns to the clean base on its own after cleaning, and throws the collected trash into the clean base. I have a tremendous sense of independence. The best.

If you want to welcome rumba to your house, you should definitely have a clean base. I have lived with that in mind.

That dream finally came true the other day. I decided to introduce Roomba when I moved. This is because I thought it was an opportunity to introduce Roomba now that the rooms are large and there are few things.

I chose "Rumba i3 +". It is a model that appeared in February 2021. This time I will tell you about this convenience. It's easy to get rid of and it's the best!

Good appearance with inconspicuous fingerprints

As of April 2021, there are three models of the Roomba series with a clean base. The finest model Rumba s9 +, the next most sophisticated Rumba i7 +, and the Rumba i3 + of my choice. The price of Roomba i3 + is 99,800 yen (tax included), which is less than 100,000 yen, which is the only model with a clean base. The reason I chose Roomba i3 + was not only the price but also the "appearance".

I really like it! The surface of the Roomba body is embossed. It looks like a carpet and fingerprints are not noticeable. Of course, Rumba s9 + is cool and cool, but I thought it was too cool and disproportionate to my house.

Also, since the room is also 1LDK, I thought that detailed smart mapping, which other high-end models are good at, is unnecessary. You don't have to remember the floor plan, but when you clean it, you just have to clean it. My biggest dream is a clean base full of romance!

Schedule with iRobot app

After opening and installing, make the initial settings with the iRobot app. You can give your robot any name you like in the app. This rumba used the gift of moving from her mother to fund the purchase, so she named her "Mama" (for the time being, when I consulted with her mother about the naming, she said "OK").

Clean base collects garbage with a roaring sound

Then, when I moved Roomba, I felt, "This is a robot that works while I'm away."

It's noisy as it moves while collecting dust with a brush and sucking it in. Then, when you return to the clean base filled with the dreams and romance of the cleaning robot world, the clean base sucks up the dust with a roaring sound. It is close to the sound of sucking in a futon by moving the vacuum cleaner with the maximum suction power.

Also, when I think about it from the standpoint of rumba, it's simply annoying that I'm wandering around. I also pay attention to rumba. So Rumba and I shouldn't move in the same room at the same time.

So, I linked the app with IFTTT and set it as "When I'm 100 meters away from my house, Roomba will start cleaning every day. When I get home, Roomba will stop cleaning and return to the nest."

Shortly after leaving home, the iRobot app will proudly notify you that "Mom has successfully cleaned!". Mama, thank you for always keeping a beautiful home!

By the way, aibo also lives in my house. Right now, I'm not moving aibo and rumba at the same time just in case. When I think of aibo, I thought that it would be better to select a higher-end model instead of Roomba i3 + and set the "intrusion prohibited area" ... but in the first place, I want to let aibo wander around as I like, and then the Roomba side. It can't be helped if only care is taken. While watching each other's situation, we will seek a communal life.

Clean-based carton is a consumable item

By the way, the inside of the dream and longing clean base is like this.

Paper cartons can store up to 60 days' worth of garbage. It's a paper carton, so that's right, but it's a consumable item. It costs 2,178 yen for 3 pieces.

My current hairstyle is long black hair, so the hair that fell on the floor would be insanely noticeable, but I've never been worried about it since Roomba started cleaning. So she never thought "I have to clean".

I started a new life with the intention that "a house with a white floor will fight against hair", but I left 90% of the house cleaning to Roomba and Clean Base, and I cleaned only the small area that Roomba and others could not enter. increase. Easy!
