iRobot Vacuum and Mop Review

Unlike some robot vacuums, this one isn't afraid to go on the stairs. Like any mop or vacuum it is prone to clogging due to 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 no-go zones. It also lets you monitor your mops's progress and the status of its battery.

iRobot Combo j7+

The Combo J7+ is a robot vacuum and mop that combine the smart mapping capabilities of iRobot and its ability to deal with spills. It is equipped with the same acoustic sensor onboard and iAdapt 2.0 Navigation that is used in other Roomba models and maps your home seven times more quickly than previous versions. It also lets you create Keep out Zones (for rooms that the robot is not allowed to enter) and Clean Zones (for rooms it must clean).

The robotic arm is the main feature of the j7. It keeps the mop pad in place when not in use and lowers it when carpeting or hard flooring. The idea is to not spray water onto the rug and the Combo j7+ does a good job of it during my tests. The robot didn't attempt to pass over the rug, Self Vacuum even after I moved it around several times.

The arm comes with a 240mL tank which is easy to remove and refilled. This makes it more convenient to use than the mop pads found on other 2-in-1 robotic arms. It uses iRobot PrevisionVision obstacle-avoidance technology which is more advanced than other systems of this kind.
