iRobot Vacuum and Mop Review

In contrast to some robot vacuums this one isn't afraid to take on the stairs. Like any mop or vacuum, it is susceptible to clogging by debris, such as tennis shoes, play thread, jewelry or other loose objects.

You can make use of the iRobot Home app to label rooms and create zones that are not allowed to enter. It also lets you keep track of the progress of your mops and their the status of its battery.

iRobot Combo j7+

The Combo J7+ is a part of the iRobot mop and robot vacuum lineup and combines the robotic cleaner's smart mapping capabilities with its ability to tackle spills. It has the same onboard acoustic sensor and iAdapt 2.0 Navigation as the other Roomba models and maps your home seven times faster than previous versions. It also lets you create Keep out Zones (for rooms that the robot should avoid) and Clean Zones (for rooms that 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 for carpeting or hard flooring. In my tests, the Combo J7+ was successful at avoiding spraying water onto the rug. The robot backed off when it encountered a rug and didn't try to get over it even although I moved the rug around a few times.

The arm has an 240mL tank that can be easily removed and filled, so it's easier to manage than the mop pads of many other 2-in-1 robots. It is equipped with iRobot PrevisionVision obstacle-avoidance technology which is more advanced than other systems of this type.

iRobot Combo i5

The machine is designed to be used for mopping and vacuuming with the same machine it is a great choice for multitaskers. Its vacuuming is accomplished by a specialised bin that holds up to 60 days' worth of debris that iRobot claims will reduce the amount of dust re-released into the air during the process. The i5+ also has dual multi-surface rubber brushes as well as Power-Lifting Suction to take care of dust, dirt, pet hair and stains on hard floors. When it's time to mop, simply swap the Mopping Bin and a compatible cleaning solution.

The i5+ uses iRobot OS, which means it gets smarter as you use it. It creates a Smart Map, which remembers the names of rooms and your preferences for cleaning. It can then be directed to clean your room or schedule a schedule for the entire level of your home through the iRobot app.

iRobot has built in the ability to detect household clutter like cords shoes, toys, and bags. It will then stop and return to the docking station, giving it to recharge and complete the cleaning task later. It is voice-compatible with Amazon Alexa and Apple Siri, and understands about 600 voice commands. This is more than any other 2-in-1 robot.

iRobot Combo j5

The robot mop and vacuum from iRobot can be used in homes with hard or carpeted floors. It utilizes smart mapping to avoid obstacles and clean efficiently. It offers multiple mopping options such as the SmartScrub system for removing difficult stains. In addition, it has the ability to set No Mop Zones to ensure that carpets aren't being sucked up, and the dock automatically replenishes the mopping solution. This model is more costly than the previous Roomba Combo J7+ but comes with more features.

Its patent-pending Mopping Drive System applies pressure to the floor for an even deeper clean and also removes tough stains. It can also reach under furniture and into tight spaces to give an efficient clean. The Combo j5+ is also compatible with the iRobot Clean Base for automatic dirt removal.

It uses Smart Mapping to navigate your home 7x faster than before5 and pinpoint rooms with 90 95% accuracy6. It can create a map of the entire house, meaning that it can clean anywhere you'd like in just one run. It can also identify and avoid items like backpacks, cords pet toys, litter boxes and shoes, socks and many more to ensure that you are free of clutter. You can plan cleaning schedules in your home and control your robot remotely using the iRobot App.

iRobot Combo i3

The iRobot Combo i3 is an upgraded version of the original Roomba i3. It has a HEPA filter to eliminate allergens and has the same great dust compartment that is outside, but it now supports smart mapping. It is now possible to create no-go zones to stop the vacuum from cleaning the same areas repeatedly. The i3 Plus has a lot of other amazing features, including its advanced cleaning system and a power-lifting 10x vacuum. It also has the ability to clean in three stages. It comes with a textured finish to keep pet hair, dust and fingerprints off.

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 quieter and does a fantastic job on carpets with high pile. The i3 is a little more expensive than the Roborock S4 Max but it has a self-emptying station which emptys the dirtbag, replenishes its water reservoir and cleans the mop pads.

You can create cleaning schedules with the i3 App. You can also control your robot via your voice assistant to begin or stop cleaning. It also tracks your home's unique layout and provide personalized cleaning habits and scheduling. It uses state-of-the-art sensors for mapping to guide you through carpet and hardwood, and learns your routine to maximize performance.

iRobot Combo i2

The Combo i2 robot vacuum and mop is the newest product from iRobot. It integrates iRobot's advanced floor cleaning technologies to make it a great choice for homes with hard floors and carpets or rugs. The Combo i2 has a combo system which allows it to switch between vacuuming or mopping with the push of the button. It also features iRobot's advanced navigation technology. Its PrevisionVision system is superior to the standard and will not encounter obstacles such as power cables and steps.

Its Smart Map remembers your rooms and your specific cleaning preferences. It can detect whether the machine is in a room that requires a special attention, like the kitchen or living space. It also comes with the Clean Base Automatic Dirt disposal system, which empties dust automatically for up to 60 days.

The dual multi-surface brush is another great feature of the Combo i2. They clean deeper than standard mops, removing dirt from corners and edges. The robot's acoustic sensor allows this. The Combo i2 also offers powerful suction and an intelligent design. It can be controlled by the iRobot App, voice assistants and an programmable calendar.

iRobot Combo i1

The Combo i1 is one of the few robot vacuums that can also mop. When it detects an area that needs to be cleaned the robotic arm equipped with a cleaning pad raises the entire unit before swinging under it. The back has a dustbin and a water tank that can be removed to add cleaning solution. The robot is equipped with a unique Bona cleaning solution, but it can be utilized with other brands.

In contrast to most robot vacuums the Combo i1 can retract its mophead completely to the top of the Robot Vacuum Mops when it detects carpet. This allows it to vacuum and then wipe the carpet clean with its microfiber cloths and ensure that all surfaces are spot-free. It has a full suite of sensors and impressive navigation skills to avoid obstacles such as furniture and cords.

It also has a higher battery to run for longer and an automatic self-emptying mode to reduce the frequency of emptying the dustbin. It's an excellent option for families that want the convenience of one robot with the versatility of multiple cleaning modes. It can be controlled with voice commands with Alexa or Siri on devices that support Google Assistant. It can be programmed to begin and stop at specific times.

iRobot Combo i4

This iRobot robotic mop and vacuum is perfect for anyone who wants to keep their home spotless without lifting a finger. It is compatible with Alexa or Google Assistant so you can use voice commands to control it. Plus, it has smart mapping technology that means you can set a schedule and the robot will do the work for you.

It features a slim-profile docking station that doesn't take up much space. It also comes with a dirt compartment that can be emptied at the touch of one button. However it's impossible to view the inside of the compartment since it's constructed of transparent plastic. The i4 is also missing some features like the AI-powered obstacle-avoidance and keep-out zones found on the j7 and j7+.

It does, however, come with a powerful vacuum system and rubber brushes that do not get caught in pet hair. It's a great option for homes with high pile carpets as it can take on more dirt and debris than weaker vacuums. The i4 is also less demanding in terms of maintenance requirements, incurs lower costs for recurring maintenance and also has a longer time of operation in its most powerful suction mode than the i7.
