Roborock Introduces a Connected Washer-Dryer! #IFA2023

Like every year, the IFA in Berlin is an opportunity for many manufacturers to unveil their new products. And Roborock is always there when it comes to innovation. While we're used to new robot vacuums, and even handheld vacuums, we weren't expecting the launch of a connected washing machine! Yet, this is the big new product unveiled by the manufacturer this year…

An entry-level/mid-range robot vacuum range is expanding

While we've been talking a lot lately about the manufacturer's high-end models, particularly the S8 series, Roborock hasn't forgotten more affordable needs, notably with the Q range. The new generation of Roborock products brings a complete suite of cleaning devices to the everyday smart home. By integrating our most powerful technologies into these new products, our consumers will benefit from the simplest and most flexible home cleaning experience, features they have always appreciated in a Roborock product.Richard Chang, Founder and CEO of Roborock

The

Q5 Pro

is the latest entry-level model in the Q Series, while the Q8 Max offers advanced features such as obstacle avoidance technology. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wvpTd4ne4xY These two models share common features.

Ease of Use: The Q5 Pro and Q8 Max feature LiDAR-based navigation that creates a detailed map of its surroundings, making the robot easy to control with the Roborock app. Features like smart suggestions for no-go areas, quick clean, and cleaning by following set directions improve cleaning efficiency and save the user time. The Q8 Max also features the Reactive Tech Obstacle Avoidance system, which allows the robot to navigate around common household obstacles.

• High Cleaning and Self-Emptying Capabilities: The Q5 Pro and Q8 Max models offer proven sweeping systems that allow simultaneous vacuuming and sweeping. The upgraded versions of both models, the Q5 Pro+ and Q8 Max+, are paired with the renowned self-emptying RockDock Plus docking station with E-12 dust bags, storing up to 7 weeks of dust without manual emptying. The Q5 Pro Series starts at €349, and the Q8 Max Series starts at €499. Available by the end of the month on Amazon.

• The Dyad Pro Combo, the convertible handheld mop vacuum The Dyad is a device that we really liked when it was first released: it's a stick vacuum that can also mop the floor, all in one go. It's extremely practical to use, even as a complement to a robot vacuum, which can't always go everywhere. The new “Pro Combo” version is even more versatile, since we now have five functions in one! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ocn6jRF2W64
• The Dyad Pro Combo is a mop vacuum that can transform into a handheld vacuum thanks to four additional accessories.

This combination allows users to clean more waste with a single device, whether removing wet and dry waste like cereal thanks to its multi-roller set, or simply vacuuming carpets, tabletops, and other narrow spaces.

For maximum efficiency, the Dyad Pro Combo boasts 17,000 Pa of suction power and can clean up to 1 mm away from edges and corners. Thanks to intelligent features that adapt cleaning power, water flow, and the ability to automatically dispense cleaning solution, the Dyad Pro Combo removes all dirt with unparalleled efficiency. The Dyad Pro Combo offers an effortless cleaning experience thanks to its self-cleaning roller brush system, which is automatically dried at 50°C. It's designed for extended short- and long-term use, with a runtime of up to 43 minutes when used as a mop and vacuum, and 60 minutes as a handheld vacuum.

The Dyad Pro Combo will soon be available on Amazon for €549.The Zeo One,the connected all-in-one washer-dryer

A transparent preview of the new drying system at IFA

The Zeo One combines washing and drying in a single appliance, saving significant space in a home. Powered by a quiet and energy-efficient DD Motor, the Zeo One can efficiently wash 10 kg of fabric and dry 6 kg. With features that eliminate bacteria, pet hair, allergens, and even the toughest stains, the Zeo One offers an ultra-convenient cleaning experience for everyone, including families with pets.

The Zeo One will be available in white and gray.

But unlike traditional drying technology, the Zeo-cycle low-temperature drying technology can dry delicate garments at precise temperatures controlled by an artificial intelligence algorithm with smart NTC sensors to prevent damage. Inspired by natural zeolite, the Zeo-cycle is capable of absorbing moisture from 288,000 m² without extreme heat, which is equivalent to 41,143 times its own surface area, or about 40 football fields.

The Zeo One also features the Roborock LintClear self-cleaning system, which automatically collects and removes lint without the need to clean the filter by hand. Combined with an intelligent detergent self-dosing system, the Zeo One makes the washing and drying experience easy and effortless for the user.

Of course, this washing machine is connected: thanks to the Roborock app, users can remotely control the Zeo One to meet their specific cleaning needs. They can thus use:

Options for selecting and customizing cleaning modes, including fabric dryness, Real-time remote control with alerts,

Definition of personalized cleaning schedules with the option to clean during off-peak hours.
