Eureka Unveils J15 Max Ultra: The First Robotic Vacuum with Transparent Liquid Stain Detection Technology

 Eureka, a household cleaning pioneer with over a century of innovation, proudly unveils the pinnacle of its J15 robotic vacuum series: the cutting-edge Eureka J15 Max Ultra. Building on the industry-leading innovations of the J15 Pro Ultra, this latest model sets a new standard in robotic cleaning as the first vacuum* capable of detecting and adapting to transparent liquids. It also introduces an innovative anti-tangle, extendable side brush and mop for accessing the tightest corners, enhanced obstacle-crossing capabilities to glide smoothly over thresholds, and a powerful 22,000 Pa suction system for unparalleled cleaning performance.

The Eureka J15 Pro Ultra has already made waves as a trailblazer in home robotics. It pioneered innovations such as the industry’s first self-cleaning base station and the FlexiRazor™ technology, which effortlessly cuts through tangles to minimize maintenance. Pet owners have also been wowed by the series’ pet-friendly design, featuring the ability to avoid pet waste and allow remote video interaction with pets (with user permission), ensuring a stress-free cleaning experience for both pets and owners.

With the J15 Max Ultra that encompasses these capabilities, Eureka continues to push boundaries, delivering cutting-edge solutions that transform household cleaning into an effortless, efficient, and pet-friendly experience.

IntelliView^TM AI 2.0 – Transparent Liquid Stain Detection Technology

Eureka’s proprietary IntelliView™ AI technology, first introduced with the J15 Pro Ultra, provides a more intelligent way to manage wet messes*. When encountering wet messes, it commands the robot to automatically rotate its body, prioritize mop cleaning, and lift the roller brush to prevent liquid from entering the dustbin. However, transparent liquids could still be missed due to the influence of ambient light on the robot’s vision sensors.

The Eureka J15 Max Ultra overcomes this limitation with the groundbreaking IntelliView™ AI 2.0, an advanced system that integrates an infrared vision system and an FHD vision sensor. This combination allows the vacuum to generate two types of views in real-time: high-definition images of the objects and their surface structures that are largely unaffected by ambient light or lighting variations. These images are processed by powerful AI algorithms trained to identify subtle differences in surface reflections and texture, enabling the robot to detect liquids clearly, even transparent ones.

Enhanced Side Brushes – Extendable and Anti-Tangle Technology

To tackle even the tightest corners and smallest nooks, the Eureka J15 Max Ultra features an advanced dual extension system. This system combines the widely acclaimed ScrubExtend mop extension technology from the J15 Pro Ultra with the newly introduced SweepExtend. Together, these innovations enable the mop and side brush to automatically extend when detecting corners and edges, ensuring thorough cleaning coverage, even in the most hard-to-reach spaces.

Eureka takes anti-tangle innovation a step further with the introduction of the DragonClaw Side Brush. Unlike traditional side brushes with equilateral triangle bristles prone to tangling, the DragonClaw features a cutting-edge V-shaped design. This design leverages centrifugal force during rotation to actively untangle hair, offering unparalleled anti-tangle performance and ease of maintenance. 

Enhanced Obstacle-Crossing and Suction Power

With enhanced power and agility, the Eureka J15 Max Ultra sets a new standard in performance. Delivering an impressive 22,000 Pa of suction power—a 35%* increase over its predecessor—it ensures deep and thorough cleaning. Equipped with advanced ObstaCross Technology, the robot effortlessly navigates standard thresholds up to 1.18 inches and handles complex double-layer thresholds up to 1.57 inches*, allowing it to seamlessly transition across diverse floor types and obstacles with ease.  

Availability

The Eureka J15 Max Ultra is expected to be available in June 2025, priced at $1,299. The initial sales wave will kick off in the United States, Germany, France, Italy, and Spain*. 

In addition, Eureka also introduces the J15 Ultra, an entry-level model in the Eureka J15 Series, featuring 19,000 Pa suction power, FlexiRazor Technology, ScrubExtend, and the All-in-One Base Station. The J15 Ultra is set to launch in March 2025 at a price of $799. For more information, please visit Eureka’s official website at www.eureka.com.
