iRobot Roomba i1+ specifications
The numbers that matter first, then every fact by group. As published by the maker or the shop we read it from.
Consumables: a dust bag in the station, which lasts up to 60 days.
Dimensionsrobot and dock
From the published dimensions. The robot passes under furniture with 10 cm of clearance or more. The dock needs a spot 32 cm wide and 38 cm deep.
Suction and brushes 3 facts
- Anti-tangle brush
529 of the 557 models we track have this.
When it matters
- Long hair and pet hair, which wrap around a bristle brush.
- Homes where you would rather not cut hair off the brush.
When it matters less
- Short hair and few pets hardly tangle anyway.
Source: irobot.com · checked on 29 Sept
A brush that guides hair to the side instead of letting it wind around the shaft. It saves the cutting work in homes with long hair or pets.
- yes
- Suitable for pet hair
When it matters
- Dogs and cats that shed.
- Long-haired pets, whose hair wraps around a brush.
When it matters less
- Without pets, ordinary hair and dust need nothing special.
Source: derived, no source of its own · checked on 2 Oct
Whether the robot copes with pet hair: a brush that hair does not wind around and a dock that empties the bin for you. Where the maker does not say so itself, we read it from those two.
- yes
- Dirt detection
When it matters
- Entrances and kitchens, where dirt gathers in one place.
- Pets that leave hair in a favourite spot.
When it matters less
- If dirt is spread evenly, a normal pass cleans it just as well.
Source: irobot.com · checked on 2 Oct
A sensor notices where more dirt lies, at the doormat for example, and the robot cleans that patch longer or a second time.
- yes
Mopping 1 fact
- Mop type
When it matters
- Homes with a lot of hard floor that you want mopped, not just wiped.
- Dried-on dirt in a kitchen, which spinning pads or a roller scrub off better than a dragged cloth.
When it matters less
- If you only vacuum, the mop’s build decides nothing.
Source: bol.com · checked on 29 Sept
How the mop is built: flat pads, two spinning discs or a roller. Discs press harder on dried-on dirt, a roller rinses itself while it works.
- no mop
Dock 4 facts
- Empties the dust bin
When it matters
- Pets, sand or a large home, which fill the bin every run.
- Dust allergy, since you rarely touch the dust yourself.
When it matters less

- yes
- Bagless
When it matters
- Not wanting to buy bags again and again.
- Pets, whose hair fills a bag quickly.
When it matters less
- With a dust allergy a sealed bag keeps the dust in when you throw it away, so bagless is no gain.
