iRobot Vacuum and Mop Review

This vacuum isn't afraid to tackle the stairs, unlike some others. Like any mop or vacuum it is prone to getting blocked by objects like tennis shoes, play thread, jewelry or other loose objects.

The iRobot Home App allows you to label rooms, and even create zones that are not allowed to enter. You can also track the progress of your mops and their battery levels.

iRobot Combo j7+

The Combo j7+ is a robot vacuum and mop that combine the smart mapping capabilities of iRobot along with the ability to deal with spills. It uses the same onboard acoustic sensor and iAdapt 2.0 Navigation as other Roomba models and maps your home seven times faster than previous versions. It also allows you to create Keep out Zones (for rooms that the robot should avoid) and Clean Zones (for rooms that it should be able to clean).

The most significant feature of the j7 is its robotic arm which keeps the mop pad hidden away when not in use, and then lowers it to tackle carpeting or hard floors. In my testing the Combo J7+ did a great job at avoiding water spraying on the rug. The robot didn't attempt to walk across the rug, even after I moved it around a few times.

The arm is equipped with a 240mL tank, that is easily removed and refilled. This makes it easier to use than the mop pads on other 2-in-1 robotic arms. It also utilizes iRobot's PrevisionVision technology to avoid obstacles, which is more sophisticated than other models of this kind.

iRobot Combo i5

This multitasker can mop and vacuum with one machine. The vacuuming process is performed by a special bin that can hold up to 60 days' worth of debris that iRobot claims will reduce the amount of dust re-released into the air during the process. The i5+ also features dual multi-surface rubber brushes and Power-Lifting Suction to tackle dust, dirt pet hair, and dirt 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 will learn your floorplan, creating an Smart Map that remembers room names and your specific cleaning preferences. You can then direct it to clean your room or set a timer for a whole area of your home using the iRobot app.

iRobot is able to recognize household clutter, such as bags, shoes cords, toys, Robot Vacuum For Stairs and even cords. It will then automatically stop and return to the docking station, allowing it to recharge and complete the cleaning task at a later time. It is also compatible with voice commands such as Amazon Alexa, Apple Siri and Google Assistant, understanding around 600 voice commands, which is more than any competing 2-in-1 best robot vacuum.

iRobot Combo j5

This robotic mop and vacuum from iRobot will work well in homes with carpets or hard floors. It utilizes intelligent mapping and avoids obstacles to clean efficiently.

iRobot Combo i3

The iRobot Combo i3 is an updated version of the original Roomba i3. It comes with the same external dirt compartment as well as it also has a HEPA filter to trap allergens, but now it also supports smart mapping. This means you can create no-go zones to prevent it from cleaning those areas in the future. The i3 Plus still has a bunch of other excellent features too like its advanced cleaning system with 10x power-lifting suction and a three-stage process for cleaning. It also has a textured surface that helps protect against fingerprints, dust and hair of pets.

It cleans most debris and performs well on carpets that are not bare, but it did have problems with pet hair when used on carpets with low pile. It is quieter and does a fantastic job on carpets with high pile. The i3 is a little more expensive than the Roborock S4 Max but it comes with a self-emptying station which emptys the dirtbag, fills its water reservoir and cleans its mop pads.

You can create cleaning schedules with the i3 App. You can also utilize your voice assistant to control your robot and begin or stop the cleaning.

iRobot Combo i1

The Combo i1 is one of the only robot vacuums that can mop. When it detects an area that needs to be cleaned the robotic arm equipped with a cleaning pad lifts the entire unit and then swings underneath it. The back is equipped with a dustbin and water tank which can be removed to supply cleaning solution. The robot uses a proprietary Bona cleaning solution, but it can be utilized with other brands.

The Combo i1 is unlike most robot vacuums because it can bring the mophead back towards the top of its robot when it detects carpet.

The i4 also lacks certain features, including zones to keep out and AI-powered obstacle avoidance found on the j7 and+ models.

However, it does have an effective cleaning system and two rubber brushes that don't get tangled up with pet hair.

The i4 is also less invasive in terms of maintenance requirements, incurs lower cost of maintenance and has a longer runtime in its weakest suction mode than the i7.
