iRobot Vacuum and Mop Review

This robot vacuum is not too scared to climb the stairs, unlike some other models. Like all mops and vacuums, it is susceptible to getting blocked by particles, like tennis shoes, play thread, 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 monitor the performance of your mops as well as their battery levels.

iRobot Combo j7+

The Combo J7+ is a part of the mop and robot vacuum lineup, combining the robotic cleaner's smart mapping capabilities along with its ability to handle spills. It uses the same acoustic sensors onboard and iAdapt 2.0 navigation that is used by other Roomba options and maps your home 7x faster than earlier models. It also lets you create Keep Out Zones (for rooms that the robot is not allowed to enter) and Clean Zones (for rooms that it is required to be able to clean).

The j7's most important feature is its robotic arm which keeps the mop pad hidden away when not in use and lowers it to deal with carpets or hard floors. The idea is to not spray water onto the rug and the Combo j7+ does a good job of it during my tests. The best robot vacuum didn't attempt to walk across the rug, even though I moved it around several times.

The arm comes with a 240mL tank that can be easily pulled out and filled, making it easier to manage than mop pads on other 2-in-1 robots. It uses iRobot PrevisionVision obstacle-avoidance technology that is more advanced than other systems similar to it.

iRobot Combo i5

This multitasker is designed to vacuum and mop with one machine. Its vacuuming is accomplished by a specialised bin that can hold up 60 days worth of debris, which iRobot claims can reduce the amount of dust re-released into the air during the process. The i5+ also features dual multi-surface rubber brushes as well as Power-Lifting Suction to tackle dust, dirt, pet hair and stains on hard floors. When you're ready to mop, simply switch in the Mopping Bin and a compatible cleaning solution.

The i5+ runs iRobot OS and gets smarter the more you use it. It will learn your floorplan, creating a Smart Map that remembers room names as well as your specific cleaning preferences. You can then direct it to clean your room or set a schedule for a whole level of your home through the iRobot app.

iRobot has integrated the ability to recognize household clutter like cords, shoes, toys and bags. It will then stop and return to the docking station, giving it to recharge and finish the cleaning task at a later date. It also supports voice commands with Amazon Alexa, Apple Siri and Google Assistant, understanding around 600 voice commands - more than any other 2-in-1 robot.

iRobot Combo j5

This robot vacuum and mop from iRobot is a great choice for homes with carpets and hard floors. It uses intelligent mapping and eliminates obstacles to clean efficiently. It offers multiple mopping options including the SmartScrub system to remove tough stains. In addition, it can create No Mop Zones to ensure that carpets aren't being sucked up, and the dock automatically refills mopping solutions. This model is more costly than the earlier Roomba Combo J7+ but comes with more features.

Its patent-pending Mopping Drive System applies pressure to the floor to provide more thorough cleaning and eliminates tough stains. It also gets under furniture and in tight spaces for better cleaning. The Combo j5+ is also compatible with the iRobot Clean Base for automatic dirt disposal.

Smart Mapping allows it to navigate your home seven times faster than before5, while identifying rooms with 90 percent accuracy6. It can create a map for your entire home, meaning it can clean wherever you'd like in just one run. It can also identify and avoid items like backpacks, cords, pet toys, litter boxes, socks, shoes, and more to make cleaning easier. You can plan cleaning schedules in your home and control your robot remotely with the iRobot App.

iRobot Combo i3

The iRobot Combo i3 is an updated version of the Roomba i3. It has a HEPA filter to trap allergens and the same fantastic external dust compartment, however it now supports smart mapping. It is now possible to create zones that are not accessible to prevent the vacuum from vaccuming these areas again. The i3 Plus still has a number of other great features too like its advanced cleaning system with 10x power-lifting suction and a three-stage process for cleaning. It comes with a textured finish to keep dust, pet hair and fingerprints away.

It does well on plain floors and is able to clean most debris, but it struggled with pet hair on low pile carpets. It is quieter and does a fantastic job on carpets with a high pile. The i3 is a bit more expensive than the Roborock S4 Max but it comes with a self-emptying station which emptys the dirtbag, fills its water reservoir, and cleans its mop pads.

You can design cleaning schedules using the i3 App. You can also make use of your voice assistant to control your robot mop and vacuum combo and start or stop the cleaning. It will also monitor your home's unique layout and provide personalized cleaning habits and schedule. It makes use of advanced mapping sensors to navigate carpet and hardwood floors, and learns how you clean to improve performance.

iRobot Combo i2

The Combo i2 robot vacuum and mop is the most recent product from iRobot. It combines iRobot's smart floor cleaning technology to make it a great choice for homes with hard floors as well as a few rugs or carpets. The Combo i2 uses a combo system that can switch between mopping and vacuuming at the flick of a button. It also comes with iRobot’s advanced navigation technology. Its PrevisionVision navigation system is better than average, and it will stay clear of obstacles such as power cords - and stairs.

It also comes with the Clean Base Automatic Dirt Disposal system that removes dirt in a controlled manner for up to 60 days.

Another outstanding feature of the Combo i2 is its dual multi-surface brushes. They are more effective than standard mops, removing dirt from edges and corners. The robot's acoustic sensor can do this. The Combo i2 also offers powerful suction and a smart design. It can be controlled via the iRobot app with voice assistants, as well as an programmable schedule.

iRobot Combo i1

The Combo i1 is one of the few robot vacuums that can also mop. When the unit is aware that a surface requires to be cleaned, it raises and swings under it with an arm that is equipped with a cleaning pad. You can add cleaning solution by removing a combined water tank and dustbin at the back of the. The robot uses the Bona cleaning product, however it can also be used with other brands.

The Combo i1 is unlike most robot vacuums because it can reposition the mophead towards the top of its robot when it detects carpet. This lets it vacuum and then wipe the carpet clean using its microfiber cloths, ensuring all surfaces are spot-free. It comes with a set of sensors and navigation abilities that allow it to avoid obstacles such as cords and furniture.

It also has an upgraded battery to last longer, and an auto-emptying mode that cuts down on the frequency of emptying the bin. It's a great option for families that are looking for the convenience of a single robot that can be used in different cleaning modes. It can be controlled by voice commands via Alexa or Siri on devices that are compatible with Google Assistant. It can be programmed to stop and start whenever you go to and from.

iRobot Combo i4

However you won't be able to look inside the compartment as it's made of transparent plastic. The i4 also lacks certain features, such as keep-out zones and the AI-powered obstacle avoidance that is found on the j7 and j7+ models.

It does however have an efficient cleaning system as well as two rubber brushes that don't get caught in pet hair. It's also a great choice for Robot Mop and vacuum Combo homes with high-pile carpet because it is able to handle the extra dirt and debris better than less powerful vacuums.
