In our tests, we observed the T9+ to be exceptionally good at getting around obstacles. It tends to take a somewhat erratic route around the home.

I found it easy to control the Combo j7+ from the mobile application, which is user-friendly and well-designed. It works with Google Assistant and Amazon Alexa so you can begin cleaning with a voice. The only drawback was the small water tank on the Combo J7+, which means you need to refill it often or limit the cleaning to smaller areas and use it more frequently in eco-mode.

Another issue is that the Combo J7+'s dust container is tiny and you must empty it manually. The Combo mop pads were also less efficient than other brands. This is a shame since this model is otherwise excellent.
