iRobot Vacuum and Mop Review

In contrast to some robot vacuums this one isn't afraid of taking on the stairs. Like all mops and vacuums it is susceptible to getting blocked by debris, such as tennis shoes, jewelry, thread or other loose objects.

The iRobot Home App allows you to label rooms and create no-go zones. You can also track the progress of your mops and their battery status.

iRobot Combo j7+

The Combo J7+ is part of the iRobot mop and robot vacuum lineup and combines the robotic cleaner's smart mapping capabilities along with its ability to tackle spills. It uses the same acoustic sensor onboard and iAdapt 2.0 Navigation as the other Roomba models and maps your home seven times more quickly than previous versions. It also lets you set Keep out Zones (for rooms which the robot should not enter) and Clean Zones (for rooms that it should keep clean).

The most significant feature of the j7 is its robotic arm, which keeps the mop pad locked away when it's not in use, and then lowers it to tackle carpeting or hard flooring. In my tests, the Combo J7+ did a good job at avoiding spraying water onto the rug. The robot stopped when it saw a rug and didn't try to cross it, even when I moved the rug around a few times.

The arm has a 240mL tank which can be easily removed and filled, so it's simpler to operate than the mop pads of many other 2-in-1 robots. It also uses the iRobot's PrevisionVision obstacle avoidance technology, which is more sophisticated than some models of this kind.

iRobot Combo i5

This multitasker can mop and vacuum in one machine. The vacuuming process is performed by a special bin that holds up to 60 days worth of debris that iRobot claims reduces the amount of dust released into the air during the process. The i5+ comes with a dual multi-surface rubber brushes as well as Power-Lifting suction to take care of dust and dirt as well as pet hair and stains. When it's time to mop, simply swap in the Mopping Bin and a compatible cleaning solution.

The i5+ uses iRobot OS, which means it gets smarter as you use it. It learns your floorplan, creating an Smart Map that remembers room names and your specific cleaning preferences. You can then direct it to clean a room or set a timer for the entire area of your home using the iRobot app.

iRobot is able to recognize household clutter, such as bags, shoes cords, toys and other items. It will then automatically stop and return to the docking station, giving it time to recharge and complete the cleaning task later. It is voice-compatible with Amazon Alexa and Apple Siri, and understands around 600 voice commands. This is more than any other 2-in-1 robot.

iRobot Combo j5

This robot vacuum and mop from iRobot is a great choice for homes that have carpets and hard floors. It uses intelligent mapping and avoids obstacles to ensure that it cleans efficiently. It also has various mopping options that include a powerful SmartScrub system that helps clean tough staining. Additionally, it is able to create No Mop Zones to ensure that carpets are not being sucked up, and the dock automatically refills the mopping solution. This model is more costly than the earlier Roomba Combo J7+ but offers more features.

Its patented Mopping Drive System applies a pressure to the floor, allowing for an even deeper cleaning. It also removes tough stains. It also reaches under furniture and in tight spaces to provide an even more thorough cleaning. The Combo J5+ can be used in conjunction with the iRobot Clean Base to automatically remove dirt.

It also will avoid shoes, socks, and litter boxes. With the iRobot app you can plan your home's cleanings and control your best robot vacuum with mapping from any place.

iRobot Combo i3

The iRobot Combo i3 has been upgraded from the original Roomba i3. It has a HEPA filter to eliminate allergens and has the same fantastic external dust compartment, however it now supports smart mapping. This means you can set up zones that are not allowed to be used to stop it from cleaning those areas in the future. The i3 Plus still has a bunch of other excellent features like its advanced cleaning system with 10x power-lifting suction and a three-stage cleaning process. It comes with a textured surface to keep dust, pet hair and fingerprints from getting on.

It is able to perform well on unfinished floors and cleans the majority of debris however, it was a bit difficult with pet hair on low pile carpets. It is a great choice on carpets with a lot of pile and is quieter than the other models. The i3 costs a bit more than the Roborock S4 Max, but it has a self-emptying system that cleans the mop pads and replenishes the water reservoir.

You can create cleaning schedules with the i3 App. You can also utilize your voice assistant to control your robot and begin or stop the cleaning. It also tracks your home's unique floor layout to give you a customized schedule and cleaning habits. It uses advanced mapping sensors to navigate carpet and hardwood floors, and learns how you clean to optimize performance.

iRobot Combo i2

The Combo i2 heavy Duty robot vacuum vacuum and mop is the latest product from iRobot. It incorporates iRobot's intelligent floor cleaning technology to make it a perfect option for homes with hard flooring and rugs or carpets. The Combo i2 uses a combo system that allows you to switch between mopping and heavy duty robot vacuum vacuuming at the touch of a button. It also has iRobot's advanced navigation technology.

The dual multi-surface brush is yet another great feature of the Combo i2. They offer a more thorough cleaning than standard mops by removing more dirt the corners and along edges. The acoustic sensor of the robot allows this. The Combo i2 is also equipped with powerful suction and an intelligent design. It can be controlled by the iRobot App as well as voice assistants, and a programmable calendar.

iRobot Combo i1

The Combo i1 is one of the only robot vacuums that also mop. When it detects an area that needs to be cleaned the robotic arm equipped with a cleaning pad lifts the entire unit and swings under it. The back is equipped with a dustbin and water tank that can be removed to add cleaning solution. The robot utilizes a specific Bona cleaning solution but can be utilized with other brands.

The Combo i1 is unlike most robot vacuums because it can reposition the mophead to the top of its commercial robot vacuum when it spots carpet. It can sweep the carpet and then wipe it clean with its microfiber cloths. This will ensure that all surfaces are clean. It is equipped with a full set of sensors and navigation skills which help it stay clear of obstacles such as cords and furniture.

It also comes with a larger battery to run for longer, and an automatic self-emptying mode that will reduce the frequency of emptying its dustbin. It's a great option for families who need the convenience of a single robot that is also able to be accessed by the different cleaning modes. It can be controlled via an audio command using Alexa, Siri, or Google Assistant-enabled devices. It can be programmed to begin and stop at specific dates.

iRobot Combo i4

This iRobot robotic mop and vacuum is ideal for those who want to keep their home tidy without lifting a single paw.

It comes with a docking station with a low profile that takes up little space. It also includes a dirt storage compartment that can be cleaned with the press of a button. The compartment is made of opaque plastic, which means you won't be able to see what's inside. The i4 is also missing some features such as the AI-powered obstacle avoidance and keep-out zones on the j7 or the j7+.

However, it does have a powerful vacuum system and brushes made of rubber that don't get tangled with pet hair. It's a great choice for homes that have high-pile carpets since it is able to handle more dirt and debris than less powerful vacuums. The i4 is also less invasive in terms of maintenance requirements, has lower costs for recurring maintenance and has a longer runtime in its most powerful suction mode than the i7.
