iRobot Vacuum and Mop Review

The robot vacuum isn't afraid to tackle the stairs, unlike some others. However, just like all vacuums and mops it could get blocked by debris such as the stray tennis shoes ribbons, beads or yarn, play jewelry or other loose objects.

The iRobot Home App allows you to label rooms and also create zones of no-go areas. You can also track the progress of your mops and their battery status.

iRobot Combo j7+

The Combo j7+ joins iRobot's robot vacuum and mop lineup, combining the robotic cleaner's smart mapping capabilities along with the ability to deal with spills. It has the same acoustic sensors onboard and iAdapt 2.0 navigation as other Roomba options and maps your home 7 times faster than earlier models. It can also be set to keep Out Zones and Clean Zones to tell the robot which areas it should stay clear of and when to clean them.

The most notable feature of the j7 is its robotic arm which keeps the mop pad locked away when not in use, and then lowers it to clean carpets or hard flooring. The idea is to not spray water on the rug and the Combo j7+ does a good job of it in my testing. The robot didn't attempt to cross the rug, even though I moved it around several times.

The arm comes with a 240mL tank which can be easily pulled out and filled, making it more manageable than mop pads found in other 2-in-1 robots. It also makes use of the iRobot's PrevisionVision technology to avoid obstacles, which is more advanced than some models of this kind.
