iRobot Vacuum and Mop Review

This robot vacuum is not scared to take on the stairs, unlike some other models. But, just like any other mop or vacuum, it can get clogged by debris such as loose tennis shoes or ribbons or yarn, play jewelry or other objects that are loose.

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

iRobot Combo j7+

The Combo J7+ is a robot vacuum and mop that combines smart mapping capabilities of iRobot with its ability to deal with spills. It is equipped with the same acoustic sensor onboard and iAdapt 2.0 Navigation as the other Roomba models and maps your home seven times faster than previous versions. It also allows you to create Keep Out Zones (for rooms which the robot should not enter) and Clean Zones (for rooms it should clean).

The most notable feature of the j7 is its robotic arm which keeps the mop pad hidden away when not in use and allows it to tackle carpeting or hard flooring. The concept is to prevent spraying water onto the rug and the Combo J7+ did very well in my testing. The robot didn't attempt to pass over the rug, even though I moved it around many times.

The arm comes with an 240mL tank that can be easily removed and filled, making it more manageable than mop pads found in other 2-in-1 robots. It uses iRobot PrevisionVision obstacle-avoidance technology that is more advanced than other systems similar to it.

iRobot Combo i5

This multi-tasker is designed to mop and vacuum in one machine. The mopping is accomplished by using a special bin that can accommodate up to 60 days worth of debris.

The i5+ also features dual multi-surface rubber brushes as well as Power-Lifting Suction that can tackle dirt, iRobot Vacuum dust pet hair and dirt on hard floors. When it's time to mop, simply switch between the Mopping Bin and a compatible cleaning solution.

The i5+ uses iRobot OS which means it becomes smarter as you use it. It learns your floorplan, creating an Smart Map that remembers room names as well as your specific cleaning preferences. You can then instruct it to clean a space or schedule a schedule for a whole area of your home using the iRobot app.

It will then automatically stop and return to its base to dock and recharge and finish the cleaning task at a later point.
