These innovative devices offer the flexibility of vacuuming and mopping, adapting to the cleaning needs with a simple bin switch. The Roomba Combo j5+ is engineered for both wet and dry cleaning. By switching to the Roomba Combo® bin filled with water or a suitable cleaning agent, the device automatically transitions to a combination cleaning mode. It utilizes Dual Multi-Surface Rubber Brushes, Power-Lifting Suction, an Edge-Sweeping Brush, and a mopping pad to effectively remove debris, dust, and stains. Similarly, the Roomba Combo i5+ offers the same bin-switching feature and is optimized for homes with predominant hard floor surfaces. With the iRobot Home app, users can map their homes and specify room-based cleaning tasks. Both models are currently available for pre-order in North America, marking a significant step in providing consumers with versatile and efficient cleaning solutions. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 6.6/10 - Popularity: 86% | Activity: 93% | Freshness: 18% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Home](https://www.trendhunter.com/home) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Hybrid Cleaning Solutions:** The introduction of the Roomba Combo j5+ and Roomba Combo i5+ robot vacuum and mops offer versatile cleaning capabilities by combining vacuuming and mopping in one device. - **Bin-switching Technology:** The Roomba Combo j5+ and Roomba Combo i5+ feature bin-switching technology that allows for automatic transitioning between wet and dry cleaning modes, providing convenience to users. - **Room-based Cleaning:** With the iRobot Home app, users of the Roomba Combo i5+ can specify room-based cleaning tasks, enhancing the customization and efficiency of the cleaning process. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Robotics:** The hybrid cleaning solutions offered by the Roomba Combo j5+ and Roomba Combo i5+ showcase innovation in the robotics industry, creating opportunities for advanced cleaning devices. - **Home Appliances:** The bin-switching technology featured in the Roomba Combo j5+ and Roomba Combo i5+ opens up opportunities for enhanced cleaning capabilities in the home appliances industry. - **Smart Home Technology:** The room-based cleaning functionality of the Roomba Combo i5+ highlights advancements in smart home technology, presenting opportunities for more efficient and customized cleaning solutions. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Swappable Component Robot Cleaners](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/irobot-roomba-combo.md) - [Automated Low-Maintenance Robot Vacuums](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/roomba-combo-j9.md) - [Robotic Vacuum Range Updates](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/irobots-new-robovacs.md) - [Automatic Maintenance Robot Vacuums](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/roomba-combo-10-max.md) - [Automated Coverage Robot Vacuums](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/roomba-max-705-combo.md) - [Dual-Vacuum Cleaning Systems](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/deebot-x2-combo.md) - [Debris-Compacting Robot Vacuums](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/roomba-205-dustcompactor-combo-robot.md) - [Five-in-One Smart Vacuums](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/roborock-dyad-pro-combo.md) - [Accessible Robotic Vacuum Cleaners](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/roomba-combo-2-essential.md)
