iRobot Vacuum and Mop Review

This robot vacuum is not afraid to tackle the stairs, unlike some other models. However, just like any other mop or vacuum it could get blocked by debris such as loose tennis shoes or ribbons, play jewelry, yarn, or other objects that are loose.

iRobot Combo j7+

The Combo j7+ joins the iRobot dyson robot vacuum cleaner vacuum and mop lineup, combining the robotic cleaner's smart mapping capabilities along with its ability to handle spills.

It also lets you set Keep Out Zones and Clean Zones to inform the robot which areas it should stay clear of and when to clean them.

The robotic 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. In my tests the Combo J7+ did a great job in avoiding spraying water on the rug. The robot stopped when it came across the rug, and didn't attempt to go over it, even when I moved the rug around a few times.
