iRobot Vacuum and Mop Review

This vacuum isn't afraid to tackle the stairs, unlike some others. Like all mops and vacuums it is prone to clogging by particles, like tennis shoes, play thread, jewelry or other loose objects.

You can use the iRobot Home app to label rooms and establish zones that are not allowed to enter. You can also monitor the progress of your mops and their battery levels.

iRobot Combo j7+

The Combo j7+ is a robot vacuum and mop that combine the smart mapping capabilities of iRobot along with the ability to handle spills. It uses the same onboard acoustic sensor and iAdapt 2.0 Navigation as other Roomba models and maps your home seven times more quickly 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 it must clean).

The robotic arm is the most important feature of the j7. It keeps the mop pad in place when it is not in use and lowers it when carpeting or hard flooring. The concept is to prevent spraying water on the rug, and the Combo J7+ did a good job of it in my testing. The robot cleaner backed away when it came across a rug and didn't try to go over it, even though I moved the rug several times.

The arm is equipped with a 240mL tank which can be easily removed and filled. This makes it easier to use as opposed to the mop pads that are found on many other 2-in-1 robotic arms. It also uses the iRobot's PrevisionVision obstacle avoidance technology, which is more sophisticated than some models of this kind.

It will then stop and return to the docking station, allowing it time to recharge and finish the cleaning task at a later time. 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.
