iRobot Vacuum and Mop Review

This vacuum isn't scared to take on the stairs, unlike some others. Like all mops and vacuums it is prone to getting blocked by objects like tennis shoes, thread, jewelry or other loose objects.

You can use the iRobot Home app to label rooms and create no-go zones. You can also monitor 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 smart mapping capabilities of iRobot with its ability to handle spills. It uses the same onboard acoustic sensors and iAdapt 2.0 navigation as other Roomba options and maps your home seven times faster than earlier models. It also allows you to create Keep out Zones (for rooms that the robot should avoid) and Clean Zones (for rooms that it should clean).

The j7's most important feature is its robotic arm, which keeps the mop pad tucked away when it's not in use and lowers it to clean carpets or hard floors. The concept is to prevent spraying water on the rug and the Combo j7+ does well at this during my tests. The robot was not able to cross the rug, even after I moved it around several times.

The arm comes with an 240mL tank that can be easily removed and filled, making it simpler to operate than the mop pads of many other 2-in-1 robots. It uses iRobot PrevisionVision technology to avoid obstacles, which is more advanced than other systems similar to it.

iRobot Combo i5

The machine is designed to be used for both vacuuming and mopping with the same machine, this is a top option for those who are multitaskers. The vacuuming process is performed by a specialised bin that can hold up to 60 days' worth of debris, which iRobot claims will reduce the amount of dust re-released into the air during the process. The i5+ also comes with dual multi-surface rubber brushes as well as Power-Lifting Suction to take care of dust, dirt pet hair, and staining on floors. When you're ready to mop, simply switch between the Mopping Bin and a compatible cleaning solution.

The i5+ runs iRobot OS and is smarter as you use it. It creates a Smart Map, which remembers the names of rooms as well as your preferences for cleaning. The iRobot App allows you to create a schedule, or tell the robot to clean a particular room.

iRobot has integrated the ability to recognise household clutter, such as cords, shoes, toys and bags. It will then stop automatically and return to its base to dock for a recharge and finish the cleaning task at a later point. It is compatible with voice commands like Amazon Alexa and Apple Siri, and understands approximately 600 voice commands. This is more than any other 2-in-1 robot.

The i3 Plus has a lot of other great features, like its advanced cleaning system and a power-lifting 10x vacuum. It also comes with the ability to clean in three stages. It also has a textured surface to ward off dust, fingerprints and hair of pets.

It does well on plain floors and is able to clean the majority of debris however it had trouble with pet hair on low pile carpets. It is a great choice with high pile carpets though and is much quieter than the other models. The i3 is a little more expensive than the Roborock S4 Max but it has a best self emptying robot vacuum-emptying station that emptys the dirtbag, refills its water reservoir, and cleans its mop pads.

With the i3 application, you can set up schedules for cleaning at a time that suits your requirements.
