iRobot Vacuum and Mop Review

This robot vacuum and mop combo vacuum is not scared to take on the stairs, unlike other models. Like all mops and vacuums it is susceptible to clogging by objects like tennis shoes, play jewelry, thread, or other loose items.

You can use the iRobot Home app to label rooms and set up zones that are not allowed to enter. It also lets you monitor the progress of your mops as well as battery condition.

iRobot Combo j7+

The Combo J7+ is part of iRobot's robot vacuum and mop lineup, combining the robotic cleaner's smart mapping capabilities with its ability to handle spills. It is equipped with the same onboard acoustic sensors and iAdapt 2.0 navigation as other Roomba options and maps your home seven times faster than previous models. It also lets you set Keep Out Zones and Clean Zones to inform the robot which rooms it should avoid and when to clean them.

The robotic arm is the most significant feature of the j7. It keeps the mop pad in place when not in use and lowers it when carpeting or hard flooring. In my testing, the Combo J7+ did a good job in avoiding spraying water on the rug. The robot stopped when it encountered a rug and didn't try to cross it, even though I moved the rug several times.

The arm comes with an 240mL tank that can be easily pulled out and filled, making it easier to manage than mop pads found in other 2-in-1 robots. It utilizes iRobot PrevisionVision technology to avoid obstacles, which is more advanced than other systems of this type.

The i3 is a bit more expensive than the Roborock S4 Max but it comes with a self-emptying station that emptys the dirtbag, refills its water reservoir, and cleans the mop pads.
