How To Tell If You're In The Mood For Irobot Vacuum

iRobot Vacuum and Mop Review

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

You can use the iRobot Home app to label rooms and create zones that are not allowed to enter. 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 the smart mapping capabilities of iRobot and its ability to deal with spills. It is equipped with the same onboard acoustic sensor and iAdapt 2.0 Navigation that is used in other Roomba models and maps your home seven times more quickly than previous versions. It also lets you create Keep out Zones (for rooms that the robot is not allowed to enter) and Clean Zones (for rooms it should keep clean).

The robotic arm is the most important feature of the j7. It keeps the mop pad hidden when not in use and lowers it when carpeting or hard flooring. The idea is to avoid spraying water onto the rug and the Combo j7+ does well at this during my tests. The robot didn't attempt to walk across the rug, even after I moved it around a few times.

The arm comes with a 240mL tank that is easily removed and filled. This makes it much easier to use than the mop pads found on other 2-in-1 robotic arms. It utilizes iRobot PrevisionVision obstacle-avoidance technology that is more advanced than other systems of this kind.

iRobot Combo i5

It is designed to do both vacuuming and mopping with the same machine it is a great option for those who are multitaskers.

The i5+ also features dual multi-surface rubber brush heads and Power-Lifting Suction to take care of dust, dirt, pet hair and stains on hard floors. When you're ready to mop, just swap in the Mopping robot Vacuum cleaner Bin and a compatible cleaning solution.

The i5+ runs iRobot OS and gets smarter the more you use it. It will learn your floorplan, creating an Smart Map that remembers room names and your specific cleaning preferences. You can then instruct it to clean your room or set a timer for a whole section of your home with the iRobot app.

iRobot is equipped with the ability to recognise household clutter, including cords shoes, toys, and bags. It will then stop and return to the docking station, giving it time to recharge and finish the cleaning task at a later time. It is also voice-compatible with Amazon Alexa, Apple Siri and Google Assistant, understanding around 600 voice commands - far more than any competing 2-in-1 bob robot vacuum.
