iRobot Vacuum and Mop Review

iRobot Combo j7+

The Combo j7+ is a robot vacuum and mop that combine the smart mapping capabilities of iRobot with its ability to deal with spills.

It also lets you set Keep Out Zones and Clean Zones to tell the robot which areas it should stay clear of and when to clean them.

The robotic arm is the main feature of the J7. It keeps the mop pad hidden when not in use and lowers it when carpeting or hard flooring. In my tests, the Combo J7+ did a great job in avoiding spraying water on the rug. The robot backed away when it encountered a rug and didn't try to get over it even although I moved the rug around several times.

The arm comes with a 240mL tank which can be easily pulled out and filled, making it more manageable 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.
