The most significant feature of the j7 is its robotic arm which keeps the mop pad locked away when it's not in use and lowers it to deal with carpets or hard floors. In my testing, the Combo J7+ was successful at avoiding spraying water onto the rug. The robot backed away when it came across the rug, and didn't attempt to get over it even when I moved the rug around several times.
