iRobot Vacuum and Mop Review

Unlike some robot vacuums, this one isn't afraid of taking on the stairs. Like any mop or vacuum it is prone to clogging by debris, such as tennis shoes, thread, jewelry, or other loose items.

The iRobot Home App allows you to label rooms and create no-go zones. It also lets you monitor the progress of your mops and their battery condition.

iRobot Combo j7+

The Combo J7+ is a robot vacuum and mop that combines the smart mapping capabilities of iRobot and its ability to handle spills. It has the same acoustic sensors onboard and iAdapt 2.0 navigation that is used by other Roomba options and maps your home 7 times faster than previous models. 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 robotic arm is the main feature of the J7. It keeps the mop pad in place when not in use, and lowers it when carpeting or hard flooring. The idea is to avoid spraying water on the rug and the Combo j7+ does very well during my tests. The robot stopped when it came across a rug and didn't try to cross it, even when I moved the rug several times.

The arm comes with a 240mL tank that can be easily popped out and filled, so it's easier to manage than mop pads on other 2-in-1 robots. It also utilizes iRobot's PrevisionVision technology to avoid obstacles, which is more sophisticated than some systems of this type.

iRobot Combo i5

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

The i5+ also features dual multi-surface rubber brushes and Power-Lifting Suction that can tackle dust, dirt pet hair, and stains on hard floors. When you're ready to mop, simply swap in the Mopping Bin and a compatible cleaning solution.

It will then automatically stop and return to the docking station, allowing it time to recharge and complete the cleaning task later.
