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 thread, jewelry or other loose objects.

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

iRobot Combo j7+

The Combo J7+ is a robot vacuum and mop that combines the smart mapping capabilities of iRobot along with the ability to deal with spills. It uses the same onboard acoustic sensors and iAdapt 2.0 navigation that is used by other Roomba options and maps your home 7 times faster than previous models. It also lets you create Keep Out Zones (for rooms that the robot should avoid) and Clean Zones (for rooms it must keep clean).

The shark robotic vacuum cleaner arm is the main 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 avoid spraying water onto the rug and the Combo J7+ did well at this during my tests. The robot backed off when it encountered a rug and didn't try to go over it, even when I moved the rug around several times.

The arm comes with a 240mL tank which can be easily popped out and filled, making it easier to manage than mop pads found in other 2-in-1 robots. It utilizes iRobot PrevisionVision obstacle-avoidance technology which is more advanced than other systems of this kind.

The i3 is a bit more expensive than the Roborock S4 Max but it comes with a self-emptying station which emptys the dirtbag, refills its water reservoir and cleans its mop pads.
