Benda, the official importer of DJI in Israel, announced the launch of the DJI ROMO series of robotic vacuum-mop cleaners in the local market. This is DJI's first entry into the home robotics field, after years in which it focused mainly on drones and imaging technologies.
The series will include three models: A, S and the top model - P. According to the company’s announcement, all the models are based on navigation and sensing technology that comes from DJI's home field - the world of drones, and combine wide-vision sensors and LiDAR sensors for identifying and avoiding particularly small obstacles, including cables and small objects in the home.
DJI notes that the suction power of the vacuums reaches up to 25,000 pascal, and the system includes two side brushes, a split main brush (half silicone and half brush fibers) and two round scrubbing brushes. We were also told at the press conference that the new vacuums have carpet detection and suction power adjustment, edge and corner cleaning, and a docking station that performs automatic emptying of the dust container as well as washing and drying of the mopping cloths. Benda representatives claim that their docking station maintains exceptional cleanliness unlike competitors - a claim that we will need to check in a review. We will also note that in one of the models there is a transparent design for the docking station, which expresses confidence in its disinfection and cleaning capabilities, which also include ultraviolet light disinfection of the dust bag.
Recommended launch prices in Israel: The ROMO S at a price of NIS 3,999, ROMO A at a price of NIS 4,499, and ROMO P at a price of NIS 5,299. At Benda they also take pride in an unusual service format, which includes collection and return of the robotic vacuum from the customer’s home to the laboratory, and repair or replacement if it is a manufacturer defect.
