iRobot Vacuum and Mop Review

In contrast to some robot vacuums this one isn’t afraid to go on the stairs. Like any mop or vacuum it is susceptible to clogging due to objects like tennis shoes, thread, jewelry or other loose objects.

You can use the iRobot Home app to label rooms and create zones that are not allowed to enter. It also lets you keep track of your mops’s progress and battery status.

iRobot Combo j7+

The Combo J7+ is a part of the iRobot robot vacuum and mop lineup, combining the robotic cleaner’s smart mapping capabilities along with its ability to tackle spills. It is equipped with the same acoustic sensor that is onboard and iAdapt 2.0 Navigation as other Roomba models and maps your home seven times more quickly than previous versions. It also allows you to set Keep out Zones (for rooms that the robot should avoid) and Clean Zones (for rooms it should keep clean).

The most notable feature of the j7 is its robotic arm, which keeps the mop pad hidden away when it’s not in use, and then lowers it to deal with carpets or hard floors. The idea is to not spray water onto the rug and the Combo J7+ did well at this in my testing. The robot backed away when it came across the rug, and didn’t attempt to get over it even though I moved the rug several times.

The arm is equipped with a 240mL tank which can be easily removed and refilled. This makes it more convenient to use than the mop pads found on many other 2-in-1 robotic arm. It is equipped with iRobot PrevisionVision obstacle-avoidance technology which is more advanced than other systems similar to it.

iRobot Combo i5

This multitasker is designed to vacuum and mop with one machine.

When it’s time to mop, just swap in the Mopping Bin and a compatible cleaning solution.

It will then stop and return to the docking station, allowing it time to recharge and complete the cleaning task at a later time. It also supports voice commands with Amazon Alexa, Apple Siri and Google Assistant, understanding around 600 voice commands - more than any competing 2-in-1 robot.
