Milagrow has launched the iMap 15 AI Plus, which the company claims is the world's first convertible robotic vacuum cleaner. By convertible, it means that this machine not only handles floors but can also be used as a handheld vacuum for sofas, curtains, and car interiors. With this launch, the company aims to address one of the most common limitations that robotic cleaner users have complained about, which is their inability to clean above the floor.
Let’s face it, RVCs are convenient and non-messy. They can now vacuum and mop, for your sofa seats and the pesky corners, you still need to have a handheld vacuum cleaner. The iMap 15 AI Plus aims to solve this issue. It allows users to detach the 3.5-litre dustbin unit, connect a flexible hose and nozzle, and use it as a portable vacuum. This makes it one of the few home-cleaning products that can handle both sweeping and mopping, as well as upholstery and tight corners, all through a single system.
iMap 15 AI Plus Specs, Features and Price
The product is equipped with a 10,000Pa suction motor, a HEPA 13 filter to capture up to 99.97% of dust and allergens, and a 5200mAh battery that can cover up to 4000 square feet in a single charge. It features LiDAR-based RT2R 3.0 navigation, which the company says enables precise room mapping within minutes, and a Hydrowave mopping system that supports simultaneous vacuuming and mopping. Milagrow also claims that the self-emptying base can suck out collected dust with 35,000Pa of force in under 10 seconds and store waste for up to 90 days. The robot supports voice commands in six Indian languages and works with Alexa and IoT platforms, while its compact design allows it to clean under low furniture. These features combine to present a compelling case for users who need a single device to manage diverse cleaning tasks across the home.
The iMap 15 AI Plus is priced at ₹34,990 and is now available through Milagrow's official website and Amazon. At that price point, it is positioned as the most versatile robot in the company's stable. It may not have the most powerful suction among Milagrow's lineup, but its dual function and large dustbin capacity put it in a category of its own. It is a product that aims not just to automate cleaning, but to consolidate cleaning tools, which is likely to appeal to families who want fewer devices, fewer interruptions, and more control over how their homes are maintained.
Milagrow’s Big Push For The Diwali Season
This launch comes shortly after the debut of Milagrow's BlackCat 25 Ultra, a bagless, self-emptying robot vacuum with a focus on long-term convenience, and the iMap 16 series, which includes the high-suction iMap 16 Pro and the more affordable iMap 16 Galaxy. Together, these four models mark an aggressive expansion of Milagrow's portfolio ahead of Diwali. Each product is positioned to serve a different household profile. The iMap 16 Galaxy competes in the under ₹22,000 segment, where it goes head-to-head with models like the Dreame F10, which also promises strong suction and LiDAR mapping. The iMap 16 Pro targets buyers who want high-end suction and longer runtime. The BlackCat 25 Ultra is for those who want a hands-off cleaning experience with bagless technology. The iMap 15 AI Plus, on the other hand, is aimed at users who want a hybrid device that covers both floors and soft surfaces.
From a broader perspective, Milagrow seems to be pursuing a full-stack strategy in the robotic cleaning category. Instead of releasing one flagship device per year, the company is populating its portfolio across price points and feature categories — from value-focused bots to specialised solutions that include bagless bases and now convertible formats. This strategy allows Milagrow to serve entry-level, mid-range, and premium buyers while also anticipating diverse use cases in Indian households. Many Indian homes still lack the kind of open-plan layout that suits traditional robot vacuums. In such spaces, devices that can clean corners, mattresses, or even curtains without needing a second appliance are likely to see stronger interest.
Growing Competition in the Vacuum Cleaner Market
While global players like Ecovacs, iRobot, and Dreame have focused on refining core suction and mapping technologies, Milagrow's recent launches signal a shift toward product adaptation. Language support, remote-based offline use, bagless collection, and now convertible formats suggest that the company is looking beyond hardware specifications and trying to design for actual cleaning behaviour and constraints in Indian homes.
From a user’s perspective, the iMap 15 AI Plus is an important shift in the way robot vacuums are being imagined. This is no longer just about covering square footage or eliminating sweeping. It is about whether a robot can actually take over cleaning the way a person would, from under your bed to the cushions on top of it. Whether Indian consumers are ready to pay for that flexibility remains to be seen, but it is clear that Milagrow is building a case for why they should.
