iRobot Vacuum and Mop Review

Unlike some robot vacuums, this one isn't afraid of taking on the stairs. Like any mop or vacuum it is susceptible to getting blocked by objects like tennis shoes, play thread, jewelry or other loose objects.

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

iRobot Combo j7+

The Combo j7+ joins the mop and robotic vacuum line-up that combines the robot 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 faster than previous versions. It can also be set to keep Out Zones and Clean Zones to inform the robot which rooms it should stay clear of and when it should clean them.

The most significant feature of the j7 is its robotic arm, which keeps the mop pad hidden away when it's not in use and lowers it to clean carpets or hard flooring. In my testing it, the Combo J7+ did a great job at avoiding spraying water onto the rug. The robot was not able to pass over the rug, even though I moved it around several times.

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