When it comes to tackling the everyday chaos of a family home, the Eureka J15 Max Ultra brings some seriously impressive tech to the table. First up, this robot vacuum boasts a mammoth 22,000 Pa of suction power—more than many traditional upright vacuums—and is designed to dig deep into carpets, rugs, and hard-floor cracks alike. That means it’s not just about cleaning visible crumbs and pet hair, but also reaching into the hidden messes under couches and around kids’ play areas. On top of that, the vacuum features an intelligent “edge-reach” system: the mop arm and side brush extend outward automatically to hug baseboards and get into corners—areas that usually trap dust and grime in family homes. DragonClaw side brush utilizes a V-shaped bristle design to minimize hair tangling, addressing a common challenge in households with pets.
Beyond the heavy-duty cleaning, the J15 Max Ultra delivers standout convenience features that are ideal for busy households. Its navigation system uses advanced AI—called IntelliView AI 2.0—with infrared and FHD cameras to distinguish between dry debris and transparent liquid spills (hello spilled juice or pet bowl sloshes) and to adjust cleaning accordingly. Additionally, the robot is built to support “set-and-forget” maintenance: the docking station not only empties the dust bag but also washes and dries the mop pads—and handles the dirty water tank automatically. That means less “Dad time” spent unclogging brushes or washing parts, and more time for the family.
