The Philips HomeRun 9000 Series XU9100/10 vacuum and wash robot has been launched in several countries across the globe, including the Netherlands, Germany, and Australia. This advanced smart home gadget boasts an impressive suction power of up to 8,000 Pa and is designed to clean spaces of about 250 m² (approximately 2,690 ft²).
Innovative Cleaning Technology
Equipped with both a side brush and a main roller brush, the HomeRun 9000 Series incorporates a unique comb-like system to help avoid hair tangles. Philips promotes its robot vacuum with the PowerCyclone Aqua mopping technology, which ensures a steady flow of fresh water to the roller mop while extracting dirty water, leading to cleaner floors. The brand asserts that the robot can operate for as long as three weeks without human intervention, thanks to its self-cleaning docking station. When it returns to dock, the dustbin and dirty water tank are automatically emptied, the fresh water tank is filled, and the mop is washed and dried using 50°C (around 122°F) hot air.
Smart Navigation Features
For navigating your living space, the robot employs a D-ToF laser that is cleverly placed on the side rather than on a tall tower, which helps in reducing its height and allows it to access more under-furniture areas. Among its additional features are remote control capabilities through the HomeRun Robot app, obstacle detection, and the ability to lift the mop when carpets are recognized. Furthermore, the robot is powered by a 6,500 mAh battery, enabling it to operate for as long as 280 minutes on a single charge.
Pricing and Availability
In the European Union, you can find the Philips HomeRun 9000 Series XU9100/10 robot vacuum at various third-party outlets like CoolBlue and MediaMarkt, with a price tag of €1,199. In Australia, it's available at retailers such as Bing Lee for A$1,997. However, it's still uncertain when this product will become available in other regions like the US and the UK.
