iRobot Vacuum and Mop Review

The robot vacuum isn't afraid to tackle the stairs, unlike others. Like any mop or vacuum, it is susceptible to clogging by debris, such as tennis shoes, thread, jewelry, or other loose items.

You can use the iRobot Home app to label rooms and establish no-go zones. You can also monitor the performance of your mops as well as their battery status.

iRobot Combo j7+

The Combo j7+ joins the robot vacuum and mop lineup, combining the robotic cleaner's smart mapping capabilities along with the ability to deal with spills.

It also lets you create Keep Out Zones (for rooms that the robot should avoid) and Clean Zones (for rooms it is required to be able to clean).

The robotic arm is the most important feature of the j7. It keeps the mop pad hidden when it is not in use and lowers it when carpeting or hard flooring. The idea is to not spray water onto the rug and the Combo J7+ has done a good job of it in my testing. The robot didn't attempt to pass over the rug, even though I moved it around many times.

The arm comes with a 240mL tank that is easily removed and refilled. This makes it more convenient to use than the mop pads found on other 2-in-1 robotic arms. It also makes use of iRobot's PrevisionVision obstacle avoidance technology which is more advanced than some models of this kind.
