iRobot Vacuum and Mop Review

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

You can make use of the iRobot Home app to label rooms and set up zones that are not allowed to enter. You can also track the performance of your mops as well as their battery status.

iRobot Combo j7+

The Combo j7+ joins the iRobot mop and robotic vacuum line-up and combines the robotic cleaner's smart mapping capabilities along with its ability to handle spills. It is equipped with the same onboard acoustic sensors and iAdapt 2.0 navigation that is used by other Roomba options and maps your home 7 times faster than previous models. It also allows you to create Keep out Zones (for rooms which the robot should not enter) and Clean Zones (for rooms it is required to be able to clean).

The robotic arm is the most significant feature of the J7. It keeps the mop pad in place when it is not in use and lowers it for carpeting or hard flooring. The idea is to avoid spraying water onto the rug and the Combo J7+ did well at this during my tests. The robot backed away when it encountered an area rug and did not attempt to go over it, even when I moved the rug several times.

The arm comes with a 240mL tank which can be easily pulled out and filled, so it's simpler to operate than the mop pads of many other 2-in-1 robots. It also makes use of iRobot's PrevisionVision obstacle avoidance technology which is more sophisticated than other systems of this type.
