irobot roomba Vacuum Vacuum and Mop Review

This vacuum isn't scared to take on the stairs, unlike other models. Like any mop or vacuum it is prone to getting blocked by particles, like tennis shoes, play jewelry, thread or other loose objects.

You can make use of the iRobot Home app to label rooms and establish zones that are not allowed to enter. It also lets you track your mops's progress and battery condition.

iRobot Combo j7+

The Combo J7+ is a part of the iRobot mop and robotic vacuum line-up that combines the robot cleaner's smart mapping capabilities with its ability to handle 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 that the robot should avoid) and Clean Zones (for rooms that it should keep clean).

The j7's most important feature is its robotic arm, which keeps the mop pad hidden away when not in use, and then lowers it to clean carpets or hard floors. The concept is to prevent spraying water on the rug, and the Combo j7+ does well at this in my testing. The robot was not able to pass over the rug, even after I moved it around several times.

The arm comes with a 240mL tank, which can be easily removed and refilled. This makes it more convenient to use as opposed to the mop pads that are found on other 2-in-1 robotic arms. It uses iRobot PrevisionVision obstacle-avoidance technology which is more advanced than other systems of this kind.

iRobot Combo i5

This multitasker can mop and vacuum in one machine. The vacuuming is done with a specially designed bin that can accommodate up to 60 days of dust. According to iRobot it reduces the amount of dust released into the air. The i5+ also has dual multi-surface rubber brushes and Power-Lifting Suction to tackle dirt, dust, pet hair and stains on hard floors. When you're ready to mop, just swap between the Mopping Bin and a compatible cleaning solution.

The i5+ runs iRobot OS and is smarter as you use it. It creates a Smart Map, irobot roomba vacuum which remembers the names of rooms as well as your preferences for cleaning. The iRobot App allows you to create a schedule, or tell the robot to clean a certain room.

iRobot is able to recognize household clutter such as bags, shoes cords, toys and other items. It will then automatically stop and then return to dock for a recharge and complete the cleaning job at a later point. It is also compatible with voice commands such as Amazon Alexa, Apple Siri and Google Assistant, understanding around 600 voice commands - more than any other 2-in-1 robot.

iRobot Combo j5

The robot mop and vacuum from iRobot can be used in homes with carpets or hard floors. It utilizes intelligent mapping and avoids obstacles to clean efficiently. It has a variety of mopping options, including the SmartScrub system for removing tough staining. Additionally, it is able to set No Mop Zones to ensure that carpets aren't being sucked up, and the dock automatically replenishes mopping solutions. The model is more expensive than the previous Roomba Combo J7+ but offers more features.

Its patented Mopping Drive System applies pressure to the floor for a deeper clean and removes tough stains. It also can reach under furniture and in tight spaces to provide a thorough clean. The Combo j5+ is also compatible with the iRobot Clean Base for automatic dirt removal.

Smart Mapping allows it to navigate your home seven times faster than before5, while identifying rooms with 90% accuracy6. It can even create an entire map of your home, allowing you to clean your entire home in just one step. It can also identify and avoid objects like cords, backpacks, pet toys, litter boxes and shoes, irobot roomba vacuum socks and more for worry-free cleaning. You can schedule cleanings for your home and control your robot remotely using the iRobot App.

iRobot Combo i3

The iRobot Combo i3 is an upgraded version of the original Roomba i3. It still has a HEPA-filter to remove allergens, and 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 sweeping those areas again. The i3 Plus still has a number of other great features, including its advanced cleaning system, 10x power-lifting suction, and a three-stage cleaning process. It comes with a textured finish to keep dust, pet hair and fingerprints off.

It is able to perform well on unfinished floors and is able to clean most debris however it had trouble with pet hair on low-pile carpets. It is quieter and does a fantastic job on carpets with a high pile. The i3 is a bit more expensive than the Roborock S4 Max, but it comes with a self-emptying system that cleans the mop pads and replenishes the reservoir with water.

With the i3 app, you can set up schedules for cleaning at a specific time to suit your needs. You can also control your best eufy robot vacuum via your voice assistant to begin or stop cleaning. It also tracks the unique floor plan of your home to provide a personalized schedule and cleaning habits. It uses state-of-the-art mapping sensors to guide you through carpet and hardwood, and learns your routine to maximize performance.

iRobot Combo i2

The Combo i2 is the latest robot vacuum and mop from iRobot. It is a combination of iRobot's intelligent floor cleaning technology to make it a great pick for homes with hard floors and carpets or rugs. The Combo i2 uses a combo system that can switch between vacuuming and mopping at the flick of a button. It also has iRobot's advanced navigation technology. Its PrevisionVision system is more effective than the average and will avoid obstacles such as power cables and stairs.

Its Smart Map remembers your rooms and your specific cleaning preferences. It can even tell the room that requires special attention, like the kitchen or living room. It also comes with the Clean Base Automatic Dirt disposal system, which empties dust automatically for up to 60 days.

The dual multi-surface brush is 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. This is possible due to the robot's onboard acoustic sensors. The Combo i2 is also equipped with powerful suction and an intelligent design. It can be controlled using the iRobot App with voice assistants as well as an programmable calendar.

iRobot Combo i1

The Combo i1 robot vacuum can also mop. When it senses the surface requires cleaning, a robotic arm with a cleaning pad raises the entire unit and then swings under it. You can also add cleaning solutions by removing a combined water tank and dustbin on the back. The robot uses a Bona cleaning product, however it can also be used with other brands.

The Combo i1 is unlike most robot mop vacuum combo vacuums in that it can bring the mophead back towards the top of its robot when it spots carpet. This allows it to vacuum and then wipe the carpet clean using its microfiber cloths, ensuring all surfaces are spot-free. It comes with a set of sensors and navigation capabilities that allow it to stay clear of obstacles such as furniture and cords.

It also has a boosted battery that will keep it running for longer, and an automatic self-emptying mode that will reduce the frequency of emptying its trash bin. It's a great choice for households that are looking for the convenience of a single robot with the versatility of various cleaning modes. It can be controlled with voice commands with Alexa or Siri on devices that support Google Assistant. It can even be scheduled to begin and stop at the time you leave and come back.

iRobot Combo i4

This iRobot robotic mop and vacuum is perfect for those who want to keep their home clean without lifting a finger. It is compatible with Alexa or Google Assistant so you can use voice commands to control it. It also has smart mapping technology that means you can create a schedule and the robot will do the task for you.

It comes with an integrated docking station with a low profile that occupies only a tiny space. It also has an emptyable dirt compartment. The compartment is made of opaque plastic so you don't get a glimpse of the contents. The i4 also lacks certain features, including keep-out zones and the AI-powered obstacle avoidance on the j7 and j7+ models.

It does come with a strong vacuum system and rubber brushes that do not get tangled with pet hair. It's also a great choice for carpets with a high pile because it can handle the more dirt and debris better than less powerful vacuums. The I4 is also less demanding in terms of maintenance requirements, and has lower cost of maintenance and runs longer in its weakest suction mode than the i7.
