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 getting blocked by debris, such as tennis shoes, play thread, jewelry, or other loose items.

The iRobot Home App allows you to label rooms and create no-go zones. You can also track the progress of your mops and their battery levels.

iRobot Combo j7+

The Combo j7+ joins the robot vacuum and mop lineup, combining the robotic cleaner's smart mapping capabilities and its ability to handle spills. It has the same acoustic sensors onboard and iAdapt 2.0 navigation that are used in other Roomba options and maps your home 7x faster than previous models. It also lets you set Keep out Zones (for rooms which the robot should not enter) and Clean Zones (for rooms that it should keep clean).

The most notable feature of the j7 is its robotic arm which keeps the mop pad locked away when not in use, and then lowers it to tackle carpeting or hard floors. The idea is to avoid spraying water on the rug, and the Combo J7+ did very well in my testing. The robot didn't attempt to walk across the rug, even though I moved it around several times.

The arm comes with an 240mL tank that can be easily pulled out and filled, making it simpler to operate than the mop pads of many other 2-in-1 robots. It also makes use of the iRobot's PrevisionVision technology to avoid obstacles, which is more sophisticated than some systems of this type.

The i5+ also comes with dual multi-surface rubber brushes as well as Power-Lifting Suction to tackle dirt, dust pet hair, and stains on hard floors. When you're ready to mop, simply swap in the Mopping Bin and a compatible cleaning solution.

The i5+ uses iRobot OS which means that it gets smarter as you use it. It creates a Smart Map, which remembers the names of rooms as well as your preferences for cleaning. You can then direct it to clean a space or set a schedule for the entire area of your home using the iRobot app.

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