iRobot Vacuum and Mop Review

Contrary to other robot vacuums, this one isn't afraid to take on the stairs. However, just like any other mop or vacuum it could get blocked by debris such as loose tennis shoes or ribbons or play jewelry, yarn, or other objects that are loose.

The iRobot Home App allows you to label rooms, and create no-go zones. It also lets you track the progress of your mops and their battery condition.

iRobot Combo j7+

The Combo j7+ is a robot vacuum and mop that combines the smart mapping capabilities of iRobot with its ability to deal with spills. It uses the same acoustic sensors onboard and iAdapt 2.0 navigation as other Roomba options and maps your home seven times faster than previous models. It can also be set to keep Out Zones and Clean Zones to inform the robot which rooms it should avoid and when to clean them.

The j7's most important feature is its robotic arm which keeps the mop pad tucked away when it's not in use, and then lowers it to clean carpets or hard floors. The idea is to not spray water on the rug, and the Combo j7+ does well at this in my testing. The robot stopped when it saw a rug and didn't try to get over it even when I moved the rug around a few times.

The arm comes with a 240mL tank, which can be easily removed and refilled. This makes it easier to use than the mop pads on many other 2-in-1 robotic arm. It also uses iRobot's PrevisionVision obstacle avoidance technology which is more sophisticated than some models of this kind.

iRobot Combo i5

Designed for mopping and vacuuming in the same machine, this is a top choice for multitaskers. The mopping is accomplished with a specially designed bin that can hold up to 60 days of debris. According to iRobot, this reduces the amount dust released into the air. The i5+ also features dual multi-surface rubber brushes as well as Power-Lifting Suction to tackle dust, dirt pet hair and stains on hard floors. Simply swap the Mopping Bin with a compatible cleaning product and 360 robot Vacuum you're ready to mop.

The i5+ runs iRobot OS and becomes smarter the more you use it. It will learn your floorplan, creating a Smart Map that remembers room names as well as your specific cleaning preferences. The iRobot App lets you set a schedule or direct the robot to clean a certain room.

iRobot is able to detect household clutter like bags, shoes cords, toys and other items. It will then automatically pause and then return to dock, allowing it to recharge and finish the cleaning task at a later date. It is also voice-compatible with Amazon Alexa, Apple Siri and Google Assistant, understanding around 600 voice commands, which is more than any other 2-in-1 eufy robot vacuum and mop.

iRobot Combo j5

The robot mop and vacuum from iRobot can be used in homes with carpets or hard floors. It uses intelligent mapping and avoids obstacles to ensure that it cleans efficiently.

The iRobot Combo i3 is an upgraded version of the original Roomba i3. It has a HEPA filter to remove allergens, and the same great external dust compartment, but it now supports smart mapping. You can now designate zones that are not accessible to prevent the vacuum from cleaning these areas again. The i3 Plus still has a number of other great features like its advanced cleaning system with 10x power-lifting suction and a three-stage process for cleaning. It has a textured finish to keep pet hair, dust and fingerprints off.

It is able to perform well on unfinished floors and is able to clean most of the debris however, it was a bit difficult with pet hair on low-pile carpets. It does an excellent job on carpets with a lot of pile and is much quieter than its competitors. The i3 is a little more expensive than the Roborock S4 Max but it has a self-emptying station that emptys the dirtbag, fills its water reservoir, and cleans its mop pads.

You can create cleaning schedules with the i3 App. You can also make use of your voice assistant to control your robot and start or stop the cleaning. It also monitors the unique floor plan of your home to give you a customized schedule and cleaning routines.

The back has a dustbin and a water tank which can be removed to supply cleaning solution. The robot is equipped with a Bona cleaning product, but it can also be used with other brands.

Unlike most robot vacuums, the Combo i1 can retract its mophead completely to the top of the robot when it senses carpet. It can sweep the carpet and then wipe it clean with its microfiber cloths. This ensures that the surfaces are clean. It comes with a wide range of sensors and a dazzling navigation system to avoid obstacles like furniture and smart robot vacuum cords.
