Our exclusive operating system that lets users control where, when and how their robots clean.
What can iRobot OS do for you?
The more it learns, the less you clean. It’s continually learning to provide a cleaning experience that’s customized just for you.

Introducing Dirt Detective, a hassle-free way to maintain a clean home with our new Roomba® j9+ and Roomba Combo™ j9+ robots
See how clean or dirty each room is.
Check your iRobot Home App for a detailed home cleanliness map. iRobot OS tracks the state of cleanliness room-by-room based on past cleans, dirt events & floor types, so your robot knows what the next messy priority is.
Tackles the dirtiest rooms first
Intuitively knows which rooms have been cleaned and what the next messy priority is. Vacuums your dirty kitchen before the already-clean bedroom.
Automatically adjusts to clean each room
Dirt Detective knows best. Your robot remembers your living room has a rug, automatically sets the number of cleaning passes, and adjusts suction level for an optimal clean.

Cleaning where you want
Automatically detects and avoids objects
Obstacles like pet waste, charging cords and shoes don’t get in the way of j Series robots finishing the whole job because it uses PrecisionVision Navigation to detect & avoid objects.
#1 at dodging your pet’s #2
P.O.O.P. (Pet Owner Official Promise)* means our Roomba j Series robot vacuums will steer clear of your pet’s waste. If it doesn’t, we'll replace your robot for free.
Cleans on command
Our robots understand more voice commands than any other robot (3). Use your voice assistant (2) to tell your robot to clean by the dishwasher, behind the couch, or in front of the stove.
Delivers more personalized suggestions
iRobot OS learns your cleaning habits and home to make personalized suggestions for you. Receive suggestions for scheduled cleanings, Keep Out Zones, and Clean Zones for messy areas that need a more targeted cleaning.

Suggests cleaning based on the season

Come home to clean
With iRobot OS, you can choose to set your robot to start cleaning when you leave and stop when you come home, so you only notice the clean, but never the cleaning. For life’s do-not-disturb moments, you can schedule downtime for your robot when it won’t clean or empty.
Cleaning how you want
Room by room cleaning control
Set your cleaning preferences in each area of your house and create a personalized cleaning experience. You can select extra cleaning passes in high-traffic spots and lighter cleaning in areas you use less often.
Avoid accidental starts.
Child & Pet Lock can be set in the iRobot Home App to prevent an accidental start from paws or playtime.
Smart features. Smarter privacy.
iRobot uses the highest standards of data encryption backed by our promise to keep your information safe — using the data to provide a better experience and help your robot perform at its best.
