iRobot Vacuum and Mop Review

Contrary to other robot vacuums, this one isn't afraid to go on the stairs. Like all mops and vacuums it is susceptible to clogging by debris, such as tennis shoes, thread, jewelry or other loose objects.

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

iRobot Combo j7+

The Combo J7+ is a robot vacuum and mop that combines the smart mapping capabilities of iRobot and its ability to handle spills. It uses the same onboard acoustic sensors and iAdapt 2.0 navigation that are used in other Roomba options and maps your home 7x faster than earlier models. It can also be set to keep Out Zones and Clean Zones to inform the robot which areas it should avoid and when it should clean them.

The most significant feature of the j7 is its robotic arm, which keeps the mop pad tucked away when not in use and lowers it to clean carpets or hard flooring. In my testing the Combo J7+ did a good job at avoiding water spraying on the rug. The robot did not try to walk across the rug, even though I moved it around a few times.

The arm comes with a 240mL tank which can be easily removed and filled. This makes it more convenient to use as opposed to the mop pads that are found on other 2-in-1 robotic arms. It also makes use of the iRobot's PrevisionVision obstacle avoidance technology, which is more advanced than other models of this kind.

iRobot Combo i5

This multitasker can vacuum and mop with one machine. Its vacuuming is done by a special bin that can hold up 60 days worth of debris that iRobot claims will reduce the amount of dust released into the air during the process. The i5+ also comes with dual multi-surface rubber brushes and Power-Lifting Suction to take care of dust, dirt pet hair, and staining on floors. When it's time to mop, simply swap the Mopping Bin and a compatible cleaning solution.

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

iRobot is equipped with the ability to recognise household clutter like cords shoes, toys, and bags. It will then stop and return to the docking station, allowing it time to recharge and finish the cleaning task later. It is compatible with voice commands like Amazon Alexa and Apple Siri, and understands around 600 voice commands. This is more than any other 2-in-1 robot.

iRobot Combo j5

This robot vacuum and mop from iRobot is a good choice for homes that have carpets and hard floors. It uses intelligent mapping to eliminate obstacles and efficiently clean. It also comes with multiple mopping modes that include a powerful SmartScrub system that can help clean tough staining. It also allows you to set No Mop Zones so that carpets won't be sucked up. The dock replenishes the mopping fluid on a regular basis. This model is more expensive than the earlier Roomba Combo J7+ but comes with more features.

Its patented Mopping Drive System applies pressure to the floor to give it a deeper clean and removes tough stains. It can also get under furniture and in tight spaces to provide a thorough clean. The Combo j5+ can also be used in conjunction with the iRobot Clean Base to automatically eliminate dirt.

Smart Mapping allows it to navigate your home seven times faster than before5, while identifying rooms with 90% accuracy6. It can create a map for your entire house, so that it can clean anywhere you'd like in just one run. It also detects and avoids objects like cords, backpacks, pet toys, kitty litter boxes, socks, shoes, and more for worry-free cleaning. You can schedule cleanings for your home and remotely control your robot using the iRobot App.

iRobot Combo i3

The iRobot Combo i3 is an updated version of the Roomba i3. It still comes with a HEPA-filter to remove allergens, and the same fantastic external dust compartment, but it now supports smart mapping. You can now designate no-go areas to prevent the vacuum from vacuuming these areas repeatedly. The i3 Plus has a lot of other amazing features, such as its advanced cleaning system and 10x power-lifting vacuum. It also comes with a three-stage cleaning process. It comes with a textured surface to keep dust, pet hair and fingerprints away.

It removes most dirt and performs well on unfinished flooring, but did experience problems with pet hair on low-pile carpets. It is quieter and does an excellent job on high pile carpets. The i3 costs a little more than the Roborock S4 Max, but it comes with a self-emptying mechanism that cleans the mop pads, and then refills the reservoir with water.

With the i3 application, you can create schedules to clean at a time that is suitable for your requirements. You can also control your robot with your voice assistant to start or stop cleaning. It also tracks the unique floor plan of your home to provide a personalized schedule and cleaning routines. It uses advanced mapping sensors to guide you through hardwood and carpet floors, and learns how you clean to optimize performance.

iRobot Combo i2

The Combo i2 robot vacuum and mop is the latest product from iRobot. It integrates iRobot's advanced floor cleaning technologies to make it an excellent option for homes with hard floors and carpets or rugs. The Combo i2 has a combo system that lets it switch between mopping or vacuuming at the touch of a button. It also has iRobot's advanced navigation technology. Its PrevisionVision system is far superior to the norm and can avoid obstacles such as power cables and iRobot robot vacuum steps.

Its Smart Map remembers your rooms and your personal cleaning preferences. It even recognizes if it's in a room that needs special attention, such as the living room or kitchen. It also comes with the Clean Base automatic vacuum cleaner robot Dirt disposal system that automatically cleans up dust for up to 60 days.

Another outstanding characteristic of the Combo i2 is its dual multi-surface brushes. They clean deeper than conventional mops, and remove dirt from edges and corners. The robot's acoustic sensor can do this. The Combo i2 also offers powerful suction as well as an intelligent design. It can be controlled by the iRobot App with voice assistants as well as an programmable calendar.

iRobot Combo i1

The Combo i1 robot vacuum can also mop. If the unit senses that a surface needs to be cleaned, it lifts and then swings it under using a robotic arm equipped with a cleaning pad. The back of the unit has a dust bin and a water tank that can be removed to add cleaning solution. The robot uses a proprietary Bona cleaning solution, but it can be used with other brands.

Unlike most robot vacuums, the Combo i1 can retract its mophead completely to the top of the quietest robot vacuum when it spots carpet. It can sweep the carpet, then wipe it clean with its microfiber cloths. This will ensure that all surfaces are spotless. It comes with a wide range of sensors and a dazzling navigation system to stay clear of obstacles such as cords and furniture.

It also comes with an upgraded battery to last longer and an auto-emptying mode that cuts down on the frequency of emptying the trash bin. It's a great option for families who want the convenience of a single robot, but with the flexibility offered by the various cleaning modes. It can be controlled with the voice of Alexa, Siri, or Google Assistant-enabled devices. It can also be scheduled to stop and start at the time you leave and come back.

iRobot Combo i4

This iRobot robot vacuum and mop is ideal for anyone who wants a clean and tidy home without lifting a finger. It works with Alexa and Google Assistant, so you can control it via voice commands. It also comes with smart mapping technology, so you can set up a schedule for the robot to follow.

It has a low-profile docking station that doesn't occupy any space. It also has a dirt compartment that can be emptied at the touch of the button. However, you won't be able to look inside the compartment as it's constructed of opaque plastic. The i4 also lacks features, like the AI-powered obstacle-avoidance and keep-out zones found on the j7 or j7+.

It does, however, have a powerful vacuum system and brushes made of rubber that don't get tangled with pet hair. It's also a great choice for homes with high-pile carpet because it is able to handle the more dirt and debris better than other vacuums. The i4 requires less maintenance, has lower recurring costs and can run longer in its lowest suction mode.
