The cameras let it bypass common barriers, such as cords, shoes, socks backpacks, pet toys, and deploy specific cleaning techniques around them. The Combo i5/i5+ comes with the patented Dirt Detect Technology which helps it focus more attention on dirty areas.

It also has a recharge and resume feature that can send the robot back to its home base to charge when its battery runs out. It then picks up right where it was when it left.

The i5+ robot is ideal for homes with a lot of. It's however not meant for carpeted or stairways. It's a tiny dustbin, so it won't clean the entire house in the event of lots of pet waste or debris. If you're looking for a Roomba that can handle more difficult environments, you should consider the i7 or i9 models. These robots can be used to mop wet floors and are more suited for stairs. The iRobot Braava jet m613440 Robot Mop - Ultimate Connected Combo i5/i5+, with its unique design and cutting-edge technology, is a great option for homes that require both a vacuum cleaner as well as a mop.

iRobot Roomba Combo i7

This high-end model offers premium features and class-leading performance that could draw customers away from the swath of low-cost competitors. The most notable improvement is the automatic dirt disposal system, which eliminates the need for a garbage bin after every clean. Another feature is persistent mapping that allows the i7+ to keep track of your home's layout and adapt to various floor plans at a moment's notice.

The Combo i7+ has a simple setup process, which includes an easy-to-follow guide on screen that walks you through the initial registration and setup. After the robot has been registered, you can use the iRobot Home app or voice commands to tell it to vacuum or mop. The i7+ can be easily programmed, allowing you schedule cleaning sessions and to set virtual boundaries.

In our tests, we discovered that the i7+ was able to climb over floor breaks, and other obstacles easily. It was able recognize furniture and other obstructions without issue. However, it couldn't get over a 2-inch marble slab separating the living and kitchen. Edge cleaning is superior to what we have seen with the budget robot vacuums. It has a great grip at corners.

When the i7+ reaches the capacity of its dustbin and then drives back to its Clean Base, empties the contents and gets itself ready for the next clean. When it's time to add cleaning fluid, just hit a button on either side of the robot, and the small water tank/dustbin combo clips open.

The only real downside is that the Clean Base occupies a lot of space. This makes it difficult to keep the i7+ in an area where it's not in use. This is a common problem with robot cleaners, and a majority of manufacturers offer smaller charging station which are smaller. These stations are also usually designed to fit in under cabinets and make it easier to hide your iRobot while not in use. iRobot has reached out to us following publication to clarify that the Combo i7+ is designed to be used only with the manufacturer-approved cleaning solution (sold separately). It is not recommended to use water since it can harm internal components and lower performance.

iRobot Roomba Combo i9

It also lowers its mop pad when it detects carpets to prevent getting the rug wet, which is a nice feature. This feature, which is called Dry Rug Intelligence by iRobot performed well in my testing and was a major improvement over the earlier Roomba models that could only vacuum or mops without changing modes.

The irobot robot vacuums app lets you create an agenda for cleaning and access the history and status updates. The app also contains "robot health" information, including how long you can count on your iRobot's lifespan before it needs a new filter or a new mopping pad.

The i8's latest navigation software assists in navigating around your home and can easily navigate around obstacles such as power cords. The navigation system also detects different floors and adjusts its cleaning route in accordance with. If you have a large home, the i8 could require several runs before it is finished mapping.

The i9+ is also one of our top picks for cleaning floors that aren't clean. It's efficient in removing a variety of debris without leaving streaks, unlike some of its competitors.

iRobot has introduced a number of improvements with this model that include the i7+'s outstanding performance and an updated design with a D-shaped that enhances its ability to navigate corners and edges. Its software is upgradable and allows users to import or transfer maps from other devices.
