iRobot Vacuum and Mop Review

This robot vacuum is not too scared to climb the stairs, unlike some other models. Like all mops and vacuums it is prone to clogging due to debris, such as tennis shoes, play jewelry, thread or other loose objects.

You can make use of the iRobot Home app to label rooms and create 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 part of iRobot's mop and robot vacuum lineup, combining the robotic cleaner's smart mapping capabilities and its ability to handle spills. It uses the same onboard acoustic sensor and iAdapt 2.0 Navigation as the other Roomba models and maps your home seven times more quickly than previous versions. It also allows you to create Keep out Zones (for fpcom.co.kr rooms that the robot is not allowed to enter) and Clean Zones (for rooms that it must keep 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 clean carpets or hard flooring. In my tests it, the Combo J7+ was successful in avoiding spraying water on the rug. The robot didn't attempt to cross the rug, even after I moved it around a few times.

The arm comes with a 240mL tank which can be easily popped out and filled, so it's simpler to operate than mop pads found in other 2-in-1 robots. It uses iRobot PrevisionVision technology to avoid obstacles, which is more advanced than other systems of this type.

iRobot Combo i5

It is designed to do mopping and vacuuming in the same machine it is a great choice for multitaskers. The vacuuming process is performed by a special bin that can hold up to 60 days worth of debris that iRobot claims can reduce the amount of dust released into the air during the process. The i5+ also has dual multi-surface rubber brushes as well as Power-Lifting Suction to tackle dirt, dust pet hair, and stains on hard floors. Simply swap the Mopping Bin with a compatible cleaning product and you're ready to mop.

The i5+ uses iRobot OS which means it becomes smarter as you use it. It creates a Smart Map, which remembers the names of rooms and your cleaning preferences. The iRobot App allows you to create a schedule or instruct the robot to clean a particular 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 to recharge and complete the cleaning task later. It also supports voice commands with Amazon Alexa, Apple Siri and Google Assistant, understanding around 600 voice commands - more than any competing 2-in-1 robot.

It is now possible to create zones that are not accessible to prevent the vacuum from cleaning the same areas again. The i3 Plus has a lot of other amazing features, mini including its advanced cleaning system and a power-lifting 10x vacuum. It also has the ability to clean in three stages. It comes with a textured surface to keep dust, pet hair and fingerprints from getting on.

It performs well on bare floors and cleans most debris, but it struggled with pet hair on low pile carpets. It is quieter and does a great job on high pile carpets. The i3 is a bit more expensive than the Roborock S4 Max but it comes with a self-emptying system which emptys the dirtbag, replenishes its water reservoir and cleans the mop pads.

You can create cleaning schedules with the i3 App. You can also make use of your voice assistant to control your robot and start or stop the cleaning.

When it senses the surface requires cleaning an arm that is a robot with a cleaning pad raises the entire unit and then swings underneath it. The back is equipped with a dustbin and a water tank which can be removed to supply cleaning solution. The robot uses a Bona cleaning product, however it can also be used with other brands.

The Combo i1 is unlike most robot vacuums as it can bring the mophead back to the top of its robot when it detects carpet. It is able to vacuum the carpet and then wipe it clean with its microfiber cloths. This ensures that the surfaces are clean. It has a complete set of sensors and navigation abilities that allow it to avoid obstacles like cords and furniture.

It also comes with a larger battery to run for longer as well as an automatic self-emptying mode to reduce the frequency of emptying its dustbin.

It can be controlled via voice commands via Alexa or Siri on devices that support Google Assistant. It can be programmed to begin and stop at certain dates.

iRobot Combo i4

This iRobot robot vacuum and mop is great for anyone who wants to clean and tidy home without having to lift a hand. It's compatible with Alexa or Google Assistant so you can use voice commands to control it.

It comes with an docking station that has a low profile that occupies only a tiny space. It also has an emptyable dirt compartment.

The i4 is also missing some features, such as keep-out zones, as well as the AI-powered obstacle avoidance that is found on the j7 and+ models.

It does however have a powerful cleaning system and a pair of rubber brushes that don't get caught in pet hair. It's also a great choice for homes with high-pile carpet because it is able to handle the additional dirt and debris better than less powerful vacuums. The I4 is also less demanding in terms of maintenance requirements, and has lower costs for recurring maintenance and also has a longer time of operation in its weakest suction mode than the i7.
