iRobot Vacuum and Mop Review

In contrast to some robot vacuums this one isn't afraid to go on the stairs. However, like any other mop or vacuum it could get blocked by debris such as stray tennis shoes or ribbons, yarn, play jewelry or other stray objects.

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

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 onboard acoustic sensor and iAdapt 2.0 Navigation as other Roomba models and maps your home seven times faster than previous versions. It also lets you set Keep Out Zones (for rooms that the robot is not allowed to enter) and Clean Zones (for rooms that it should be able to 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 lowers it to deal with carpets or hard flooring. In my testing the Combo J7+ was successful at avoiding water spraying on the rug. The robot backed off when it came across a rug and didn't try to cross it, even although I moved the rug several times.

The arm comes with a 240mL tank which is easy to remove and refilled. This makes it easier to use than the mop pads on many other 2-in-1 robotic arm. It also makes use of the iRobot's PrevisionVision obstacle avoidance technology, which is more advanced than some systems of this type.
