iRobot Vacuum and Mop Review

The robot vacuum isn't afraid to tackle the stairs, unlike other models. However, like any mop and vacuum it could get blocked by the stray tennis shoes, ribbons, play jewelry, yarn, or other objects that are loose.

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

iRobot Combo j7+

The Combo J7+ is a robot vacuum and mop that combines smart mapping capabilities of iRobot along with the ability to deal with spills. It uses the same onboard acoustic sensors and iAdapt 2.0 navigation as other Roomba options and maps your home seven times faster than earlier models. It also lets you create Keep out Zones (for rooms which the robot should not enter) and Clean Zones (for rooms it is required to keep clean).

The best robotic mop and vacuum arm is the main 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 tests the Combo J7+ did a great job at avoiding spraying water onto the rug. The robot backed away when it saw the rug, and didn't attempt to cross it, even though I moved the rug several times.

The arm comes with an 240mL tank that can be easily removed and filled, making it more manageable than the mop pads of many other 2-in-1 robots. It also utilizes the iRobot's PrevisionVision obstacle avoidance technology which is more sophisticated than other systems of this type.

When you're ready to mop, just swap between the Mopping Bin and a compatible cleaning solution.

It can then be directed to clean your room or schedule a schedule for the entire section of your home with the iRobot app.

It will then automatically stop and return to dock, allowing it to recharge and complete the cleaning job at a later date. 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 robot.

It is now possible to create zones that are not accessible to prevent the vacuum from vaccuming these areas repeatedly. The i3 Plus still has a bunch of other excellent features, including its advanced cleaning system with 10x power-lifting suction and three-stage cleaning process. It comes with a textured finish to keep pet hair, dust and fingerprints from getting on.

It removes most dirt and is great on carpets that are not bare, but it did have trouble with pet hair on low-pile carpets. It does a fantastic job on carpets with a lot of pile and is quieter than its competitors. The i3 is a little more expensive than the Roborock S4 Max but it comes with a self-emptying station that empties the dirtbag, refills its water reservoir, and cleans the mop pads.
