iRobot Vacuum and Mop Review

The robot vacuum isn't afraid to tackle the stairs, unlike some other models. However, just like any mop and vacuum it is prone to getting blocked by loose tennis shoes ribbons, beads and yarn, play jewelry or other loose objects.

The iRobot Home App allows you to label rooms and also create zones of no-go areas. It also lets you keep track of the progress of your mops as well as 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 with its ability to handle spills. It uses the same acoustic sensor that is onboard and iAdapt 2.0 Navigation as other Roomba models and maps your home seven times faster than previous versions. It also lets you create Keep out Zones (for rooms which the robot should not enter) and Clean Zones (for rooms it must clean).

The most significant 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 idea is to not spray water on the rug, and the Combo J7+ has done very well in my testing. The robot backed away when it encountered an area rug and robot vacuum and mop self empty did not attempt to get over it even although I moved the rug around a few times.

The arm comes with a 240mL tank, which is easy to remove and refilled. This makes it easier to use than the mop pads on many other 2-in-1 robotic arm. It utilizes iRobot PrevisionVision obstacle-avoidance technology that is more advanced than other systems of this type.

iRobot Combo i5

This multitasker can vacuum and mop with one machine. The mopping is accomplished with a specially designed bin that can accommodate up to 60 days worth of debris. According to iRobot it reduces the amount dust released into the air. The i5+ comes with dual multi-surface rubber brushes and Power-Lifting suction that can tackle dirt and dust hair, pet hair, and staining. When it's time to mop, just swap between the Mopping Bin and a compatible cleaning solution.

The i5+ runs iRobot OS and becomes smarter the more you use it. It creates a Smart Map, which remembers the names of rooms as well as your cleaning preferences. It can then be directed to clean a room or schedule a schedule for a whole area of your home using the iRobot app.

iRobot can recognize household clutter, such as shoes, bags cords, toys and other items. It will then automatically stop and return to the docking station, allowing it to recharge and finish the cleaning task later. It is also voice-compatible with Amazon Alexa, Apple Siri and Google Assistant, understanding around 600 voice commands, which is more than any competing 2-in-1 robot.

iRobot Combo j5

This robot vacuum and mop from iRobot is a great choice for homes with carpets and hard floors. It uses intelligent mapping and eliminates obstacles to ensure that it cleans efficiently. It also has different mopping options and a powerful SmartScrub system that can help clean tough staining. It can also establish No Mop Zones so that carpets aren't sucked up. The dock replenishes the mopping fluid on a regular basis. This model is more costly than the previous Roomba Combo J7+ but has more features.

Its patent-pending Mopping Drive System applies a pressure to the floor, which allows for more thorough cleaning. It also gets rid of tough stains. It also works under furniture and in tight spaces for an even more thorough cleaning. The Combo J5+ can be used with the iRobot Clean Base to automatically dispose of dirt.

iRobot Combo i3

The iRobot Combo i3 is an updated version of the Roomba i3. It comes with the same external dirt compartment as well as an HEPA filter to snuff out allergens, but now it also supports smart mapping. This means you can set up no-go zones to stop it from vacuuming those areas again. The i3 Plus has a lot of other amazing features, such as its advanced cleaning system and 10x power-lifting vacuum. It also has a three-stage cleaning process. It comes with a textured finish to keep pet hair, dust and fingerprints from getting on.

It does well on plain flooring and can clean up most debris however, it was a bit difficult with pet hair on low-pile carpets. It does a fantastic job with carpets with a high pile and is much quieter than its rivals. The i3 is a bit more expensive than the Roborock S4 Max, but it comes with a self-emptying mechanism that cleans the mop pads and refills the reservoir with water.

You can create cleaning schedules using the i3 App. You can also control your robot with your voice assistant to start or stop cleaning. It also tracks your home's unique floor layout to give you a customized schedule and cleaning routines. It uses state-of-the-art mapping sensors to navigate hardwood and carpet, and learns your routine to improve performance.

The dual multi-surface brush is a excellent feature of the Combo i2. They clean deeper than standard mops, removing dirt from corners and edges. The affordable robot vacuum's acoustic sensor can do this. The Combo i2 is also equipped with powerful suction, as well as an intelligent design. It is controlled by the iRobot app with voice assistants, as well as an programmable schedule.

iRobot Combo i1

The Combo i1 is one of the only robot vacuums that can also mop. When it senses a surface that requires cleaning, a robotic arm with a cleaning pad raises the entire unit before swinging beneath it. The back has a dustbin and a water tank that can be removed to supply cleaning solution. The robot is equipped with a unique Bona cleaning solution but can be utilized with other brands.

Contrary to other robot vacuums, the Combo i1 can retract its mophead completely to the top of the robot when it senses carpet. This lets it vacuum and then wipe the carpet clean using its microfiber cloths, ensuring all surfaces are spot-free. It is equipped with a full set of sensors and navigation capabilities that help it avoid obstacles such as cords and furniture.

It also has an upgraded battery that will last longer as well as an auto-emptying mode that cuts down on the frequency of emptying the trash bin. It's a great option for families who want the convenience of one robot vacuum and mop self empty that is also able to be accessed by multiple cleaning modes. It can be controlled by voice commands via Alexa or Siri on devices that are compatible with Google Assistant. It can be programmed to start and stop at specific dates.

iRobot Combo i4

This iRobot robotic vacuum and mop is ideal for those who want to keep their home spotless without lifting a single finger. It is compatible with Alexa or Google Assistant so you can use voice commands to control it.

It has a low-profile docking station that doesn't occupy much space. It also has a movable dirt compartment.

The i4 also lacks certain features, including zones to keep out and AI-powered obstacle avoidance found on the j7 and j7+ models.

It does, however, come with a powerful vacuum system and brushes made of rubber that don't get caught in pet hair. It's an excellent choice for homes with high pile carpets since it is able to handle more dirt and debris than less powerful vacuums. The i4 also requires less maintenance and has lower ongoing costs, and runs longer in the lowest suction mode.
