Robot vacuum technology takes a significant leap forward with Eureka's latest innovation in smart home cleaning. The announcement of the J15 Max Ultra at CES 2025 marks a breakthrough in robotic cleaning capabilities, particularly in handling liquid spills - a challenge that has long plagued robot vacuum manufacturers.
Revolutionary Liquid Detection Technology
The J15 Max Ultra introduces IntelliView AI 2.0, a sophisticated vision system that combines infrared sensors with FHD vision technology. This dual-sensor approach enables the robot to detect even transparent liquids on floors - a first in the industry. When encountering spills, the vacuum automatically adjusts its cleaning strategy by lifting its roller brush and deploying its mopping system, preventing potential damage while ensuring effective cleanup.
Enhanced Cleaning Performance
Eureka has significantly upgraded the vacuum's suction power to 22,000 Pa, matching the highest standards in the industry. The robot features both ScrubExtend and the new SweepExtend technologies, allowing its mop pads and side brushes to reach deeper into corners and along edges. The innovative DragonClaw side-brush design actively prevents hair tangling, addressing a common pain point in robotic vacuums.
Key Specifications:
- Suction Power: 22,000 Pa
- Battery Capacity: 6,400mAh
- Threshold Crossing: Up to 1.57 inches (4cm)
- Navigation: IntelliView AI 2.0 with infrared vision system
- Special Features: ScrubExtend, SweepExtend, DragonClaw side-brush
Advanced Navigation and Adaptability
The robot's improved navigation system combines LiDAR, line laser, RGB cameras, LED lighting, and infrared sensors for reliable operation in any lighting condition. It can handle thresholds up to 1.57 inches (4cm), representing a 50% improvement over previous models. The increased battery capacity of 6,400mAh ensures longer cleaning sessions without interruption.
Price Comparison:
- J15 Max Ultra: USD $1,299 (June 2025)
- J15 Ultra: USD $799 (March 2025)
- J15 Pro Ultra: USD $999.99 (Current model)
Availability and Pricing
The J15 Max Ultra is scheduled for release in June 2025, with an initial launch in the United States, Germany, France, Italy, and Spain. Priced at USD $1,299, it positions itself in the premium segment of the robot vacuum market. For budget-conscious consumers, Eureka is also introducing the J15 Ultra at USD $799, launching in March 2025, though it lacks some of the Max Ultra's advanced features.
