iRobot Vacuum and Mop Review

Contrary to other robot vacuums, this one isn't afraid of taking on the stairs. Like any mop or vacuum, it is susceptible to clogging by particles, like tennis shoes, thread, jewelry, or other loose items.

The iRobot Home App allows you to label rooms and create no-go zones. You can also monitor the performance of your mops as well as their battery levels.

iRobot Combo j7+

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

The most notable feature of the j7 is its robotic arm which keeps the mop pad tucked away when not in use and allows it to clean carpets or hard flooring. In my testing it, the Combo J7+ did a great job at avoiding spraying water onto the rug. The robot backed away when it saw an area rug and did not attempt to cross it, even though I moved the rug around a few times.

The arm comes with a 240mL tank which is easy to remove and filled. This makes it more convenient to use than the mop pads found on many other 2-in-1 robotic arms. It uses iRobot PrevisionVision obstacle-avoidance technology that is more advanced than other systems similar to it.

iRobot Combo i5

It is designed to do both vacuuming and mopping with the same machine This is an excellent choice for multitaskers. Its vacuuming is accomplished by a special bin that holds up to 60 days worth of debris that iRobot claims reduces 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, simply swap between the Mopping Bin and a compatible cleaning solution.

The i5+ runs iRobot OS and is smarter as you use it. It learns your floorplan, creating an Smart Map that remembers room names as well as your specific cleaning preferences. You can then direct it to clean your room or set a schedule for the entire section of your home with the iRobot app.

iRobot has built in the ability to recognise household clutter, such as cords, shoes, toys and bags. It will then automatically pause and return to dock, allowing it to recharge and complete the cleaning job at a later point. It also supports voice commands with Amazon Alexa, Apple Siri and Google Assistant, understanding around 600 voice commands, which is more than any other 2-in-1 robot.

iRobot Combo j5

This robotic vacuum and mop from iRobot is a good choice for homes with both carpets and hard floors. It uses intelligent mapping to eliminate obstacles and efficiently clean. It also offers multiple mopping modes that include a powerful SmartScrub feature that can help clean tough stains. In addition, it can set No Mop Zones in order to ensure that carpets are not sucked up, and its dock automatically refills the mopping solution. This model is more expensive than the earlier Roomba Combo j7+, however it has more features.

The i3 Plus still has a bunch of other excellent features, including its advanced cleaning system with 10x power-lifting suction and a three-stage cleaning process. It comes with a textured surface to keep pet hair, dust and fingerprints from getting on.

It performs well on bare floors and cleans the majority of debris however it had trouble with pet hair on low pile carpets. It is quieter and does an excellent job on carpets with high pile. The i3 costs a little more than the Roborock S4 Max, but it comes with a self-emptying system that cleans the mop pads and replenishes the water reservoir.

With the i3 app you can set up schedules for cleaning at a time that suits your needs. You can also control your robot with your voice assistant to begin or stop cleaning.

The back is equipped with a dustbin and a water tank which can be removed to add cleaning solution. The robot uses the Bona cleaning product, however it can also be utilized with other brands.

It can sweep the carpet and then wipe it clean with its microfiber cloths. This will ensure that all surfaces are clean. It has a full suite of sensors and a dazzling navigation system to stay clear of obstacles such as furniture and cords.
