iRobot Vacuum and Mop Review

The robot vacuum isn't afraid to tackle the stairs, unlike others. Like any mop or vacuum it is susceptible to clogging by debris, such as tennis shoes, play thread, jewelry, or other loose items.

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

iRobot Combo j7+

The Combo J7+ is a part of the mop and robot vacuum lineup and combines the robotic cleaner's smart mapping capabilities and the ability to deal with spills. It has the same acoustic sensors onboard and iAdapt 2.0 navigation that is used by other Roomba options and maps your home 7x faster than earlier models. It also allows you to set Keep out Zones (for rooms that the robot is not allowed to enter) and Clean Zones (for rooms that it is required to keep clean).

The robotic arm is the main feature of the J7. It keeps the mop pad hidden when it is not in use and lowers it for carpeting or hard flooring. In my testing the Combo J7+ did a good job at avoiding spraying water onto the rug. The robot was not able to walk across the rug, even after I moved it around a few times.

The arm has a 240mL tank that can be easily removed and filled, making it simpler to operate than the mop pads of many other 2-in-1 robots. It also uses the iRobot's PrevisionVision obstacle avoidance technology which is more sophisticated than some systems of this type.
