Quick Take
The iRobot Roomba s9+ Robot Vacuum is iRobot’s most powerful cleaner. Its D-shaped body hugs skirting boards. The Clean Base holds dust for up to two months. Imprint® Smart Mapping lets you send the robot to any room with a tap or a voice command.
Overview of Core Benefits
Flawless Corners and Edges
PerfectEdge® Technology uses a D-shaped chassis and an angled corner brush. It scoops debris that round robots often leave behind.
40 × Power-Lifting Suction
The motor design is new and delivers up to 100% more airflow than earlier high-end Roombas. It lifts sand from deep in carpet piles.
Self-Emptying Convenience
Every time the robot docks, the Clean Base pulls waste into a sealed bag. The bag holds about 30 bins of debris, or roughly 60 days of cleaning for most homes.
Up to 120-Minute Runtime
The high-capacity lithium-ion battery keeps the s9+ cleaning for up to two hours. After that, it returns to recharge and then resumes cleaning.
Room-Level Mapping
vSLAM® captures 230,000 data points per second to build a map you can name and edit in the iRobot Home app. You can draw Keep-Out or Clean Zones for precise cleaning.

Both versions share suction, mapping, and PerfectEdge hardware.
Smart Home Integration
The s9+ slips neatly into any connected household. With native support for Alexa, Google Assistant, and Siri Shortcuts, you can start or stop a clean, send the robot to the kitchen, or call it back to its dock without lifting a finger. Because Imprint® Smart Mapping stores a detailed floor plan, voice prompts such as “Roomba, vacuum under the dining table” turn into pinpoint navigation instead of random spirals.
Beyond voice control, the iRobot Home app links to IFTTT and Home Assistant. Create routines like “run a quick clean when the last family member leaves” or “pause vacuuming if the doorbell rings.” Allergy sufferers often pair the robot with an air purifier that switches on automatically when the Clean Base® winds up, reducing dust released during emptying.
Care & Maintenance Tips
Keep Your s9+ Like New
- Replace the high-efficiency filter every two months.
- Shake out the corner brush monthly to keep edges crisp.
- Inspect the rubber rollers weekly and pull off hair or thread.
- Wipe the cliff and optical sensors with a dry microfiber cloth.
These quick chores protect sensors, preserve suction, and keep your floors looking showroom-fresh year after year.
