iRobot Vacuum and Mop Review

Unlike some robot vacuums, this one isn't afraid to take on the stairs. However, just like any mop and vacuum, it can get clogged by stray tennis shoes or ribbons or robotvacuummops yarn, play jewelry or other objects that are loose.

You can make use of the iRobot Home app to label rooms and establish no-go zones. It also lets you keep track of the progress of your mops and their battery status.

iRobot Combo j7+

The Combo j7+ joins the iRobot mop and robotic vacuum line-up and combines the robotic cleaner's smart mapping capabilities and its ability to handle spills. It is equipped with the same onboard acoustic sensor and iAdapt 2.0 Navigation that is used in other Roomba models and maps your home seven times faster than previous versions. It also lets you set Keep Out Zones (for rooms that the robot is not allowed to enter) and Clean Zones (for rooms that it is required to clean).

The j7's most important feature is its robotic arm which keeps the mop pad hidden away when it's not in use and allows it to deal with carpets or hard floors. In my tests it, the Combo J7+ did a good job at avoiding spraying water onto the rug. The robot backed off when it came across the rug, and didn't attempt to get over it even although I moved the rug around a few times.

The arm comes with a 240mL tank that can be easily pulled out and filled, making it easier to manage than mop pads on other 2-in-1 robots. It utilizes iRobot PrevisionVision technology to avoid obstacles, which is more advanced than other systems similar to it.

iRobot Combo i5

Designed for mopping and vacuuming with the same machine, this is a top choice for multitaskers. Its vacuuming is accomplished by a specialised bin that can hold up 60 days' worth of debris that iRobot claims can reduce the amount of dust re-released into the air during the process. The i5+ also has dual multi-surface rubber brush heads and Power-Lifting Suction to take care of dirt, dust pet hair and stains on hard floors. When it's time to mop, simply switch between the Mopping Bin and a compatible cleaning solution.

The i5+ runs iRobot OS and gets smarter the more you use it. It creates a Smart Map, which remembers the names of rooms as well as your cleaning preferences. The iRobot App allows you to create a schedule, or tell the robot to clean a specific room.

iRobot has built in the ability to recognize household clutter like cords, shoes, toys and bags. It will then stop and return to the docking station, giving it time to recharge and complete the cleaning task later. It is also voice-compatible with Amazon Alexa, Apple Siri and Google Assistant, understanding around 600 voice commands - more than any other 2-in-1 robot.

iRobot Combo j5

The iRobot Combo i3 has been upgraded from the original Roomba i3. It has the same great dirt compartment on the outside and an HEPA filter to keep allergens out However, it now supports smart mapping. This means that you can designate no-go zones to stop it from sweeping those areas again. The i3 Plus still has a bunch of other excellent features too like its advanced cleaning system that has a 10x power-lifting suction and a three-stage process for cleaning. It comes with a textured finish to keep dust, pet hair and fingerprints away.

It is able to clean most debris and is great on unfinished flooring, but did experience problems with pet hair when used on low-pile carpets. It does a fantastic job on carpets with a lot of pile and is quieter than the other models. The i3 costs a little more than the Roborock S4 Max, but it has a self-emptying system that cleans the mop pads and replenishes the reservoir with water.

With the i3 app you can set up schedules to clean at a time that is suitable for your requirements. You can also make use of your voice assistant to control your robot to start or stop the cleaning. It also monitors the unique floor plan of your home to provide a personalized schedule and cleaning habits.

It has a full suite of sensors and a dazzling navigation system to help it avoid obstacles such as cords and furniture.
