Remember when you had to pick up a stuck robot vacuum and clean the roller because of minor hair tangles? Those days of needing to frequently fix a stopped vacuum during cleaning have become a thing of the past, thanks to incredible advancements in technology. Today’s robot vacuums can run smoothly for months without needing any help. This rapid evolution is partly because brands like Eureka always push themselves to innovate, and certainly don’t believe in incremental updates between models.
The J15 Pro Ultra is a wonderful robot vacuum and remains a top pick on our list of the best robot vacuums. But it’s truly overshadowed by the company’s latest and greatest – the Eureka J15 Max Ultra. With more suction power, smarter AI, better navigation, and enhanced cleaning features, the J15 Max Ultra definitely earns its moniker. Here’s everything you need to know.
An additional FHD camera coupled with IntelliView AI 2.0 lets the robot see more — even transparent liquids
Eureka introduced the innovative IntelliView AI with the J15 Pro Ultra last year. This smart feature helps the robot effortlessly identify and navigate around objects and obstacles, while also distinguishing between wet and dry messes and automatically adjusting its cleaning mode.
For instance, if it detects a wet mess, the vacuum automatically rotates its body to prioritize mopping and lifts the roller brush, ensuring an efficient clean. This wonderful feature delivers smooth, intervention-free deep cleans and greatly reduces post-cleaning maintenance.
Building on this, the J15 Max Ultra comes with an upgraded version called IntelliView 2.0, which tackles a common challenge: accurately identifying transparent or similarly colored liquids, like Sprite or water on any surface, or milk on white tiles.
Eureka fixes the issue by combining an infrared-sensitive optical sensor with an FHD vision sensor. The vacuum creates two real-time views – high-definition images of objects and surface structures, unaffected by ambient light. And with the advanced AI algorithms, the robot processes these views to detect subtle differences in surface reflections and textures, making it possible to clearly identify even transparent liquids. Whether it’s light or dark, the J15 Max Ultra can scan, recognize, and effectively clean difficult spots with ease.
But that’s not all IntelliView AI 2.0 can do! Thanks to its upgraded features, the J15 Max Ultra now recognizes an even wider variety of carpets, everything from long- and short-pile carpets to yoga mats and even the thinner types like pet feeding mats, with much better accuracy.
As always, it’ll automatically switch cleaning modes based on what it detects. So, it’ll lift the mop and boost suction for regular carpet cleaning, while avoiding yoga mats left on the floor. Enhanced carpet edge detection also helps prevent those damp spots that can happen if the robot doesn’t switch modes quickly enough. Thanks to IntelliView AI 2.0, the robot lifts the mop just at the right moment before it touches the carpet.
The new FHD vision camera means you’ll get clearer pet videos and easier remote video interactions. Plus, the J15 Max Ultra now features a “pet search” function, perfect for finding your furry friends around the house and snapping pictures.
