iRobot Vacuum and Mop Review

In contrast to some robot vacuums this one isn't afraid of taking on the stairs. But, just like any mop and vacuum it is prone to getting blocked by debris such as stray tennis shoes or ribbons or play jewelry, yarn, or other loose objects.

You can make use of the iRobot Home app to label rooms and create no-go zones. You can also track the progress of your mops and their battery status.

iRobot Combo j7+

The Combo j7+ is a robot vacuum and mop that combine the smart mapping capabilities of iRobot and its ability to deal with spills. It has the same acoustic sensor onboard and iAdapt 2.0 Navigation as other Roomba models and maps your home seven times faster than previous versions. It also lets you set Keep out Zones (for rooms which the robot should not enter) and Clean Zones (for rooms that it must be able to clean).

The j7's most important feature is its robotic arm which keeps the mop pad tucked away when not in use, and then lowers it to deal with carpets or hard flooring. In my testing, the Combo J7+ did a good job in avoiding spraying water on the rug. The robot did not try to walk across the rug, even though I moved it around many times.

The arm has a 240mL tank that can be easily popped out and filled, so it's simpler to operate than mop pads found in other 2-in-1 robots. It also utilizes the iRobot's PrevisionVision technology to avoid obstacles, which is more sophisticated than some systems of this type.

iRobot Combo i5

This multitasker can vacuum and mop with one machine. Its vacuuming is accomplished with a specially designed bin that holds up to 60 days' worth of debris, which iRobot claims can reduce the amount of dust re-released into the air during the process. The i5+ also has dual multi-surface rubber brushes as well as Power-Lifting Suction to tackle dust, dirt pet hair and dirt on hard floors. Simply swap the Mopping Bin with a compatible cleaning product and you're set to mop.

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

iRobot is able to recognize household clutter like shoes, bags, cords and toys. It will then stop and return to the docking station, giving it time to recharge and complete the cleaning task at a later time. It is compatible with voice commands like Amazon Alexa and Apple Siri, and understands about 600 voice commands. This is more than any other 2-in-1 robot.

iRobot Combo j5

This robotic vacuum and mop from iRobot is a great choice for homes with carpets and hard floors. It utilizes intelligent mapping to remove obstacles and efficiently clean. It provides a variety of mopping options including the SmartScrub system to remove difficult stains. In addition, it can set No Mop Zones in order to ensure that carpets aren't being sucked up, and the dock automatically refills mopping solutions. This model is more costly than the previous Roomba Combo J7+ but offers more features.

Its patented Mopping Drive System applies pressure to the floor to provide more thorough cleaning and eliminates tough staining. It also can reach under furniture and into tight spaces to provide an effective clean. The Combo J5+ can be used in conjunction with the iRobot Clean Base to automatically dispose of dirt.

It can also identify and avoid things like backpacks, cords pet toys, litter boxes, socks, shoes, and many more to ensure that you are free of clutter. With the iRobot app you can plan your home's cleanings and control your robot from anywhere.

iRobot Combo i3

The iRobot Combo i3 has been updated from the original Roomba i3. It has a HEPA filter to remove allergens, and the same fantastic dust compartment that is outside, but it now supports smart mapping. This means you can set up no-go zones to prevent it from vacuuming those areas again. The i3 Plus still has a bunch of other excellent features like its advanced cleaning system that has a 10x power-lifting suction and a three-stage process for cleaning. It also has a textured surface that helps keep away fingerprints, dust and pet hair.

It is able to clean most debris and performs well on carpets that are not bare, but it did have trouble with pet hair when used on carpets with low pile. It is quieter and does an excellent job on carpets with high pile. The i3 costs a bit more than the Roborock S4 Max, but it comes with a self vacuum robot-emptying mechanism that cleans the mop pads, and then refills the reservoir with water.

You can create cleaning schedules using the i3 App. You can also control your robot using your voice assistant to start or stop cleaning. It also monitors the unique floor plan of your home to provide a personalized schedule and cleaning routines. It utilizes the latest mapping sensors to guide you through carpet and hardwood and also learns your routine to maximize performance.

The Combo i1 neato robot vacuum vacuum can also mop. If the unit senses that a surface must be cleaned, it lifts and swings under it with an arm with a robotic design that has a cleaning pad. The back of the unit has a dust bin and water tank that can be removed to supply cleaning solution. The robot is equipped with a unique Bona cleaning solution, but it can be used with other brands.

The Combo i1 is unlike most robot vacuums as it can bring the mophead back to the top of the robot when it detects carpet. It is able to vacuum the carpet and then wipe it clean with its microfiber cloths. This will ensure that all surfaces are spotless. It has a full suite of sensors and impressive navigation capabilities to help it avoid obstacles such as cords and furniture.

It also comes with an upgraded battery that will last longer and an auto-emptying mode that cuts down on the frequency of emptying the dustbin. It's a good option for families who want the convenience of a single robot that can be used in multiple cleaning modes. It can be controlled with a voice command using Alexa, irobot roomba Vacuum mop Siri, or Google Assistant-enabled devices. It can be programmed to start and stop at certain dates.

iRobot Combo i4

This iRobot robot vacuum and mop is great for anyone who wants a clean house without having to lift a hand. It works with Alexa and Google Assistant, so you can control it via voice commands. It also features smart mapping technology, so you can set up a schedule for the robot to follow.

It features a slim-profile docking station that doesn't occupy much space. It also comes with a dirt compartment that can be cleaned with the press of one button. The compartment is constructed of transparent plastic, so you can't see what's inside. The i4 is also lacking features like the AI-powered obstacle-avoidance and keep-out zones found on the j7 or j7+.

It does however have a powerful cleaning system and a set of rubber brushes that don't get tangled up with pet hair. It's a great option for homes with high-pile carpets since it is able to handle more dirt and debris than less powerful vacuums. The i4 requires less maintenance and has lower costs for recurring maintenance and is more efficient in the lowest suction mode.
