How the Spill Detection Works
The J15 Max Ultra combines an infrared vision system with a full‑color sensor feed processed by IntelliView AI 2.0. By comparing reflections and surface structure, it can recognize transparent liquids—something most robot vacuums miss. When a spill is detected, the robot rotates so its mop pads address the mess first and lifts the brush to protect internal parts.
Upgrades vs Earlier J Series Models
- Improved liquid detection (clear + colored).
- Higher suction (up to 22kPa) over J15 Pro Ultra (~16kPa) and J15 Ultra (~19kPa).
- Extended side brush reach for better edge cleaning.
- Improved threshold climbing (approx. 40 mm rating).
Pricing & Availability
Launch pricing announced around $1,299 for the J15 Max Ultra, with a more budget‑friendly J15 Ultra variant (~$799) in the lineup; regional pricing and release timing may vary. Check Amazon for current price and stock status.
