iRobot Vacuum and Mop Review

This robot vacuum is not afraid to tackle the stairs, home unlike other models. Like any mop or vacuum it is susceptible to clogging by objects like tennis shoes, jewelry, thread or other loose objects.

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

iRobot Combo j7+

The Combo J7+ is a robot vacuum and mop that combines smart mapping capabilities of iRobot along with the ability to handle spills. It is equipped with the same acoustic sensors onboard and iAdapt 2.0 navigation that is used by other Roomba options and maps your home 7 times faster than earlier models. It also lets you set Keep Out Zones and Clean Zones to tell the robot which rooms it should stay clear of and when to clean them.

The most significant feature of the j7 is its robotic arm which keeps the mop pad hidden away when it's not in use, and then lowers it to tackle carpeting or hard flooring. The idea is to avoid spraying water on the rug and the Combo J7+ has done very well during my tests. The robot backed away when it encountered a rug and didn't try to cross it, even when I moved the rug around several times.

The arm is equipped with a 240mL tank which is easy to remove and filled. This makes it easier to use than the mop pads found on many other 2-in-1 robotic arm. It is equipped with iRobot PrevisionVision obstacle-avoidance technology which is more advanced than other systems of this type.

It is quieter and does a fantastic job on carpets with high pile. The i3 is a bit more expensive than the Roborock S4 Max but it comes with a self-emptying system that empties the dirtbag, fills its water reservoir, and cleans its mop pads.
