iRobot Vacuum and Mop Review

In contrast to some robot vacuums this one isn't afraid to go on the stairs. However, just like all vacuums and mops, it can get clogged by debris such as the stray tennis shoes ribbons, beads or play jewelry, yarn, or other loose objects.

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

iRobot Combo j7+

The Combo J7+ is a part of iRobot's mop and robotic vacuum line-up, combining the robotic cleaner's smart mapping capabilities along with its ability to tackle spills. It is equipped with the same onboard acoustic sensor and iAdapt 2.0 Navigation as other Roomba models and maps your home seven times more quickly than previous versions. It can also be set to keep Out Zones and Clean Zones to tell the robot which rooms it should avoid and when to clean them.

The j7's most important feature is its robotic arm which keeps the mop pad tucked away when it's not in use and lowers it to tackle carpeting or hard floors. In my testing, the Combo J7+ did a great job at avoiding water spraying on the rug. The robot did not try to walk across the rug, even though I moved it around several times.

The arm has an 240mL tank that can be easily popped out and filled, making it easier to manage than mop pads on other 2-in-1 robots. It uses iRobot PrevisionVision obstacle-avoidance technology that is more advanced than other systems of this type.

iRobot Combo i5

This multi-tasker is designed to vacuum and mop with one machine. The vacuuming process is performed with a specially designed bin that holds up to 60 days worth of debris, which iRobot claims reduces the amount of dust released into the air during the process. The i5+ comes with dual multi-surface rubber brushes as well as Power-Lifting suction to tackle dirt and dust, pet hair, and staining. When it's time to mop, simply swap between the Mopping Bin and a compatible cleaning solution.

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

iRobot is able to detect household clutter like bags, shoes cords, toys and other items. It will then automatically stop and return to the docking station, allowing it to recharge and complete the cleaning task later. It is voice-compatible with Amazon Alexa and Apple Siri, and understands approximately 600 voice commands. This is more than any other 2-in-1 robot.

The back of the unit has a dust bin and a water tank which can be removed to supply cleaning solution. The robot utilizes a Bona cleaning product, however it can also be utilized with other brands.

In contrast to most lidar robot vacuum vacuums the Combo i1 can retract its mophead completely to the top of the robot when it detects carpet. This lets it vacuum and then clean the carpet with its microfiber cloths making sure that all surfaces are spot-free. It has a complete set of sensors and navigation skills that help it avoid obstacles such as furniture and cords.

It also comes with a larger battery that will keep it running for longer as well as an automatic self-emptying mode to reduce the frequency of emptying its trash bin.

The i4 also lacks certain features, such as keep-out zones, as well as the AI-powered obstacle avoidance that is found on the j7 and+ models.

However, it does have an efficient cleaning system as well as a set of rubber brushes that aren't stuck in pet hair. It's also a great choice for homes with high-pile carpet because it can handle the more dirt and debris better than less powerful vacuums. The i4 is also less demanding in terms of maintenance requirements, and has lower cost of maintenance and also has a longer time of operation in its weakest suction mode than the i7.
