iRobot Vacuum and Mop Review

Unlike some robot vacuums, this one isn't afraid to go on the stairs. However, just like all vacuums and mops it could get blocked by debris, such as stray tennis shoes ribbons, beads and play jewelry, yarn, or other loose objects.

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

iRobot Combo j7+

The Combo J7+ is a robot vacuum and mop that combines the smart mapping capabilities of iRobot and its ability to deal with spills. It uses the same acoustic sensor onboard and iAdapt 2.0 Navigation as the other Roomba models and maps your home seven times faster than previous versions. It also allows you to set Keep Out Zones (for rooms that the robot is not allowed to enter) and Clean Zones (for rooms it must be able to clean).

The robotic arm is the main feature of the J7. It keeps the mop pad hidden when it is not in use and lowers it for carpeting or hard flooring. The idea is to avoid spraying water onto the rug and the Combo j7+ does well at this in my testing. The robot didn't attempt to walk across the rug, cleaner 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 much easier to use than the mop pads found on many other 2-in-1 robotic arm. It also makes use of the iRobot's PrevisionVision technology to avoid obstacles, which is more sophisticated than some models of this kind.
