iRobot Vacuum and Mop Review

This robot vacuum is not too scared to climb the stairs, unlike some others. However, just like all vacuums and mops it could get blocked by debris such as the stray tennis shoes, ribbons and yarn, play jewelry or other stray objects.

iRobot Combo j7+

The Combo J7+ is part of iRobot's mop and robotic vacuum line-up, combining the robotic cleaner's smart mapping capabilities along with its ability to handle spills.

It also lets you set Keep Out Zones (for rooms that the robot is not allowed to enter) and Clean Zones (for rooms it must keep clean).

The robotic arm is the main feature of the J7. It keeps the mop pad hidden when 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 very well in my testing. The robot backed off when it came across an area rug and did not attempt to get over it even when I moved the rug around several times.

The arm has a 240mL tank which can be easily pulled out and Vacuum mops filled, so it's easier to manage than mop pads on other 2-in-1 robots. It is equipped with iRobot PrevisionVision technology to avoid obstacles, which is more advanced than other systems of this kind.
