iRobot Vacuum and Mop Review

This robot vacuum is not afraid to tackle the stairs, unlike other models. However, just like all vacuums and mops it could get blocked by debris such as the stray tennis shoes or ribbons, yarn, play jewelry or other stray objects.

The iRobot Home App allows you to label rooms and even create zones that are not allowed to enter. It also lets you track the progress of your mops as well as battery condition.

iRobot Combo j7+

The Combo j7+ joins the robot vacuum and mop lineup, combining the robotic cleaner's smart mapping capabilities with the ability to deal with spills.

It also lets you set Keep Out Zones and Clean Zones to tell the robot which rooms it should avoid and when to clean them.

The most significant feature of the j7 is its robotic arm, which keeps the mop pad tucked away when not in use, and then lowers it to tackle carpeting or hard floors. The idea is to avoid spraying water onto the rug and the Combo J7+ did well at this during my tests. The robot backed off when it encountered the rug, and didn't attempt to get over it even although I moved the rug around several times.

The arm comes with a 240mL tank which can be easily pulled out and filled, so it's simpler to operate than mop pads found in other 2-in-1 robots. It utilizes iRobot PrevisionVision obstacle-avoidance technology that is more advanced than other systems of this kind.
