The Reasons Irobot Vacuum Is Everyone's Obsession In 2023

iRobot Vacuum and Mop Review

The robot vacuum isn't scared to take on the stairs, unlike some others. But, just like all vacuums and mops, it can get clogged by the stray tennis shoes, ribbons or yarn, play jewelry or other stray objects.

The iRobot Home App allows you to label rooms, and create no-go zones. You can also track the performance of your mops as well as their battery status.

iRobot Combo j7+

The Combo J7+ is a part of the mop and robotic vacuum line-up that combines the robot cleaner's smart mapping capabilities and its ability to tackle spills. It is equipped with the same acoustic sensors onboard and iAdapt 2.0 navigation as other Roomba options and maps your home seven times faster than earlier models. It also lets you set 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 main feature of the J7. It keeps the mop pad hidden when not in use and lowers it when carpeting or hard flooring. The concept is to prevent spraying water on the rug and the Combo J7+ did a good job of it in my testing. The robot backed away when it saw a rug and didn't try to go over it, even though I moved the rug around several times.

The arm is equipped with a 240mL tank, that is easily removed and filled. This makes it more convenient to use than the mop pads found on many other 2-in-1 robotic arm. It utilizes iRobot PrevisionVision obstacle-avoidance technology which is more advanced than other systems similar to it.

iRobot Combo i5

This multi-tasker is designed to vacuum and mop with one machine. The mopping is accomplished by using a special bin that can hold up to 60 days of debris. According to iRobot, this reduces dust that is released into the air. The i5+ comes with a dual multi-surface rubber brush and Power-Lifting suction to take care of dust and dirt as well as pet hair and stains. Simply replace the Mopping Bin with a compatible cleaning product and you're set to mop.

The i5+ runs iRobot OS and gets smarter the more you use it. It creates a Smart Map, which remembers the names of rooms and your preferences for cleaning. The iRobot App lets you create a schedule, iRobot Vacuum or tell the robot to clean a particular room.

iRobot is equipped with the ability to detect household clutter, such as cords shoes, toys, and bags. It will then automatically stop and return to the docking station, allowing it time to recharge and finish the cleaning task later. It also supports voice commands with Amazon Alexa, Apple Siri and Google Assistant, understanding around 600 voice commands - far more than any other 2-in-1 robot.

iRobot Combo j5

This robot mop and vacuum from iRobot is ideal for homes with hard floors or carpets. It makes use of smart mapping to avoid obstacles and clean efficiently. It also offers multiple mopping modes and a powerful SmartScrub system that helps clean tough staining.

This model is more costly than the earlier Roomba Combo J7+ but comes with more features.

iRobot Combo i3

The iRobot Combo i3 is an upgraded version of the original Roomba i3. It has a HEPA filter to remove allergens, and the same fantastic dust compartment that is outside, but it now supports smart mapping. It is now possible to create no-go zones to stop the vacuum from cleaning the same areas again. The i3 Plus still has a variety of other fantastic features like its advanced cleaning system that has a 10x power-lifting suction and three-stage cleaning process. It has a textured finish to keep pet hair, dust and fingerprints away.

It performs well on bare flooring and can clean up most debris however, it was a bit difficult with pet hair on low-pile carpets. It is a great choice on carpets with a lot of pile and is much quieter than the other models. The i3 is a bit more expensive than the Roborock S4 Max but it comes with a self-emptying system which emptys the dirtbag, fills its water reservoir, and cleans its mop pads.

You can design cleaning schedules using the i3 App. You can also utilize your voice assistant to control your robot and start or stop the cleaning. It also monitors your home's unique floor layout to give you a customized schedule and cleaning habits. It uses advanced mapping sensors to navigate carpet and hardwood flooring, and also learns how you clean to improve performance.

iRobot Combo i1

The Combo i1 is one of the few robot vacuums that also mop. When it detects an area that needs to be cleaned the robotic arm equipped with a cleaning pad raises the entire unit and swings under it. The back is equipped with a dustbin and water tank that can be removed to add cleaning solution. The robot is equipped with a Bona cleaning product, however it can also be used with other brands.

The Combo i1 is unlike most robot vacuums as it can bring the mophead back to the top of its robot when it detects carpet. It can vacuum the carpet before wiping it clean using its microfiber cloths. This will ensure that all surfaces are clean. It is equipped with a full set of sensors and navigation abilities that allow it to stay clear of obstacles such as furniture and cords.

It also has an upgraded battery to last longer as well as a self-emptying mode that reduces the frequency of emptying the bin. It's a great choice for families who need the convenience of a single robot that is also able to be accessed by the different cleaning modes. It can be controlled via the voice of Alexa, Siri, or Google Assistant-enabled devices. It can be programmed to begin and stop at specific time intervals.

iRobot Combo i4

However you won't be able to look inside the compartment as it's constructed of transparent plastic. The i4 also lacks certain features, like zones to keep out and AI-powered obstacle avoidance found on the j7 and+ models.

It does, however, have a powerful vacuum system and rubber brushes that don't get tangled by pet hair. It's also a good choice for homes with high-pile carpet because it can handle the additional dirt and debris better than less powerful vacuums. The i4 requires less maintenance and has lower costs for recurring maintenance, and runs longer in its lowest suction mode.
