iRobot Vacuum and Mop Review

Contrary to other robot vacuums, this one isn't afraid to take on the stairs. Like all mops and vacuums it is susceptible to clogging due to debris, such as tennis shoes, play jewelry, thread, or other loose items.

The iRobot Home App allows you to label rooms, and create no-go zones. It also lets you monitor your mops's progress and the status of its battery.

iRobot Combo j7+

The Combo j7+ is a robot vacuum and mop that combine the smart mapping capabilities of iRobot and its ability to handle spills. It uses the same acoustic sensors onboard and iAdapt 2.0 navigation that is used by other Roomba options and maps your home seven times faster than previous models. It also allows you to create Keep out Zones (for rooms that the robot should avoid) and Clean Zones (for rooms it must keep 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 for carpeting or hard flooring. The idea is to not spray water on the rug, and the Combo J7+ has done a good job of it during my tests. The robot stopped when it saw an area rug and did not attempt to cross it, even although I moved the rug around several times.

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

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. Its vacuuming is accomplished by a specialised bin that holds up to 60 days' worth of debris that iRobot claims reduces the amount of dust released into the air during the process. The i5+ also has dual multi-surface rubber brush heads and Power-Lifting Suction to tackle dirt, dust pet hair, and dirt on hard floors. Simply swap the Mopping Bin with a compatible cleaning product and you're set to mop.

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. You can then instruct it to clean a room or set a schedule for the entire area of your home using the iRobot app.

iRobot can recognize household clutter like bags, shoes cords, toys, and even cords. It will then stop and return to the docking station, allowing it time to recharge and finish the cleaning task later. It is compatible with voice commands like Amazon Alexa and Apple Siri, and understands about 600 voice commands. This is more than any other 2-in-1 robot.

iRobot Combo j5

This robotic vacuum and mop from iRobot is a good choice for homes with carpets and hard floors. It makes use of intelligent mapping and eliminates obstacles to ensure that it cleans efficiently. It offers multiple mopping options including the SmartScrub system that can remove difficult staining. In addition, it has the ability to set No Mop Zones to ensure that carpets don't get getting sucked up. Additionally, its dock automatically refills mopping solutions. This model is more expensive than the previous Roomba Combo j7+, but it offers more features.

Its patented Mopping Drive System applies a pressure to the floor, which allows for more thorough cleaning. It also removes tough stains. It also works under furniture and in tight spaces for a more thorough cleaning. The Combo j5+ is also compatible with the iRobot Clean Base for automatic dirt removal.

It utilizes Smart Mapping to navigate your home 7x quicker than before5 and locate rooms with 90% accuracy6. It can create a map for the entire house, meaning it can clean wherever you want in just one run. It also can avoid objects like backpacks, cords and toys. It will also stay clear of shoes, socks, and litter boxes. With the iRobot app you can schedule your home's cleanings and control your goovi robot vacuum from any location.

iRobot Combo i3

The iRobot Combo i3 has been upgraded from the original Roomba i3. It still has a HEPA-filter to remove allergens, and the same fantastic external dust compartment, but it now supports smart mapping. You can now create zones that are not accessible to prevent the vacuum from vacuuming these areas again. The i3 Plus still has a number of other great features too like its advanced cleaning system, 10x power-lifting suction, and a three-stage process for cleaning. It has a textured finish to keep pet hair, dust and fingerprints off.

It is able to clean most debris and is great on carpets that are not bare, but it did have trouble with pet hair on carpets with low pile. It does an excellent job on carpets with a lot of pile and is quieter than its rivals. The i3 is a bit more expensive than the Roborock S4 Max but it has a self-emptying station which emptys the dirtbag, fills its water reservoir and cleans the mop pads.

With the i3 app, you can create schedules for cleaning at a time that is suitable for your needs. You can also utilize your voice assistant to control your robot and begin or stop the cleaning. It will also monitor your home's unique layout to provide personalized cleaning habits and schedule. It uses state-of-the-art mapping sensors to guide you through carpet and hardwood and also learns your routine to maximize performance.

iRobot Combo i2

The Combo i2 robot vacuum and mop is the newest product from iRobot. It incorporates iRobot's intelligent floor cleaning technology to make it an excellent option for homes with hard flooring as well as rugs or carpets. The Combo i2 uses a combo system that allows you to switch between mopping and vacuuming at the touch of a switch. It also comes with iRobot’s advanced navigation technology. Its PrevisionVision system is far superior to the norm and can avoid obstacles like power cables and stairs.

Its Smart Map remembers the rooms you clean and the ones you prefer. It can tell whether the machine is in a room which requires a special attention, like a kitchen or Irobot vacuum and mop living area. It also has the Clean Base Automatic Dirt Disposal System, which empties dust automatically for up to 60 days.

Another excellent feature of the Combo i2 is its dual multi-surface brushes. They provide a cleaner clean than standard mops by removing more dirt the corners and along edges. The robot's acoustic sensor allows this. The Combo i2 is also equipped with powerful suction and an intelligent design. It can be controlled by the iRobot App with voice assistants as well as an programmable calendar.

iRobot Combo i1

The Combo i1 is one of the only robot vacuums that can also mop. When it senses an area that needs to be cleaned the robotic arm equipped with a cleaning pad raises the entire unit and then swings under it. The back of the unit has a dust bin and water tank that can be removed to supply cleaning solution. The robot is equipped with a Bona cleaning product, however it can also be used with other brands.

The Combo i1 is unlike most robot vacuums because it can reposition the mophead to the top of its robot when it senses carpet. This lets it vacuum and then wipe the carpet clean using its microfiber cloths making sure that the surfaces are spotless. It is equipped with a full set of sensors and navigation skills that help it avoid obstacles such as cords and furniture.

It also has an upgraded battery that will last longer as well as an auto-emptying mode that cuts down on the frequency of emptying the bin. It's a great option for households who want the convenience of one robot that is also able to be accessed by the various cleaning modes. It can be controlled with voice commands with Alexa or Siri on devices that are compatible with Google Assistant. It can be programmed to begin and stop at certain times.

iRobot Combo i4

This iRobot robot vacuum and mop is great for anyone who wants to clean home without having to lift a finger. It's compatible with Alexa or Google Assistant so you can use voice commands to control it. Additionally, it comes with smart mapping technology so you can create a schedule and the robot will take care of the work for you.

It comes with a docking station with low profile and occupies only a tiny space. It also has a dirt compartment that can be empty with the press of the button. The compartment is made of opaque plastic, so you don't get a glimpse of the contents. 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 have a powerful cleaning system and two rubber brushes that don't get tangled up with pet hair. It's an excellent choice for homes that have high-pile carpets as it can take on more dirt and debris than weaker vacuums. The i4 requires less maintenance, has lower recurring costs and is more efficient in the lowest suction mode.
