iRobot Vacuum and Mop Review

Unlike some robot vacuums, this one isn't afraid to go on the stairs. Like any mop or vacuum it is susceptible to clogging due to particles, like tennis shoes, thread, jewelry or other loose objects.

The iRobot Home App allows you to label rooms, and create no-go zones. 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 along with the ability to handle spills. It uses the same onboard acoustic sensor and iAdapt 2.0 Navigation as other Roomba models and maps your home seven times faster than previous versions. It can also be set to keep Out Zones and Clean Zones to tell the robot which areas it should avoid and when it should clean them.

The most significant feature of the j7 is its shark robotic vacuum cleaner arm which keeps the mop pad locked away when it's not in use, and then lowers it to deal with carpets or hard floors. The idea is to avoid spraying water on the rug, and the Combo J7+ did very well in my testing. The robot did not try to pass over the rug, even after I moved it around a few times.

The arm comes with an 240mL tank that can be easily removed and filled, making it simpler to operate than the mop pads of many other 2-in-1 robots. It utilizes iRobot PrevisionVision obstacle-avoidance technology which is more advanced than other systems of this kind.
