iRobot Vacuum and Mop Review

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

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

iRobot Combo j7+

The Combo J7+ is part of iRobot's mop and robotic vacuum line-up and combines the robotic cleaner's smart mapping capabilities along with its ability to handle spills. It is equipped with the same acoustic sensors onboard and iAdapt 2.0 navigation that are used in other Roomba options and maps your home 7 times faster than previous models. It also lets you set Keep Out Zones and Clean Zones to inform the robot which areas it should avoid and when to clean them.

The robotic arm is the most significant feature of the J7. It keeps the mop pad in place when it is not in use and lowers it when carpeting or hard flooring. The concept is to prevent spraying water on the rug and the Combo j7+ does very well in my testing. The robot backed off when it encountered an area rug and did not attempt to cross it, even though I moved the rug several times.

The arm has a 240mL tank which can be easily removed and filled, so it's more manageable than mop pads on other 2-in-1 robots. It utilizes iRobot PrevisionVision technology to avoid obstacles, which is more advanced than other systems of this kind.
