The most notable feature of the j7 is its robotic arm which keeps the mop pad hidden away when not in use and allows it to deal with carpets or hard floors. The idea is to avoid spraying water on the rug, and the Combo j7+ does very well during my tests. The robot backed off when it came across a rug and didn't try to cross it, even when I moved the rug several times.
