iRobot Vacuum and Mop Review

Unlike some robot vacuums, this one isn't afraid to take on the stairs. However, like any other mop or vacuum it could get blocked by stray tennis shoes or ribbons and play jewelry, yarn, or other stray objects.

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

iRobot Combo j7+

The Combo j7+ joins the mop and robotic vacuum line-up and combines the robotic cleaner's smart mapping capabilities and the ability to deal with spills. It uses the same acoustic sensors onboard and iAdapt 2.0 navigation that are used in other Roomba options and maps your home 7x faster than earlier models. It can also be set to keep Out Zones and Clean Zones to tell the robot which areas it should avoid and when to clean them.

The robotic arm is the most important feature of the J7. It keeps the mop pad in place when not in use, and lowers it for carpeting or hard flooring. The idea is to not spray water onto the rug and the Combo J7+ did well at this in my testing. The lidar robot vacuum did not try to pass over the rug, even though I moved it around several times.

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

This multitasker can vacuum and mop with one machine. The vacuuming process is performed by a specialised bin that can hold up 60 days' worth of debris and iRobot claims will reduce the amount of dust re-released into the air during the process. The i5+ comes with dual multi-surface rubber brush and Power-Lifting suction that can tackle dirt and dust as well as pet hair and staining. When it's time to mop, simply switch between the Mopping Bin and a compatible cleaning solution.

The i5+ uses iRobot OS which means that it gets smarter as you use it. It can learn your floorplan by creating an Smart Map that remembers room names and your specific cleaning preferences. You can then direct it to clean your room or set a schedule for a whole level of your home through the iRobot app.

iRobot is able to detect household clutter like shoes, bags, cords and toys. It will then automatically stop and return to the docking station, giving it to recharge and complete the cleaning task later. It is also voice-compatible with Amazon Alexa, Apple Siri and Google Assistant, understanding around 600 voice commands - more than any competing 2-in-1 robot.

iRobot Combo j5

The i3 Plus still has a bunch of other excellent features like its advanced cleaning system with 10x power-lifting suction and three-stage cleaning process. It comes with a textured finish to keep dust, pet hair and fingerprints from getting on.

It is able to perform well on unfinished floors and is able to clean the majority of debris, but it struggled with pet hair on low-pile carpets. It is quieter and does a great job on carpets with high pile. The i3 is a bit more expensive than the Roborock S4 Max but it has a self vacuum robot-emptying station that empties the dirtbag, replenishes its water reservoir and cleans the mop pads.

With the i3 app you can make schedules to clean at a time that suits your needs. You can also utilize your voice assistant to control your robot and start or stop the cleaning. It also tracks your home's unique floor layout to provide a personalized schedule and cleaning routines.
