iRobot Vacuum and Mop Review

The robot vacuum isn't afraid to tackle the stairs, unlike some others. Like any mop or vacuum, it is susceptible to getting blocked by debris, such as tennis shoes, jewelry, thread, or other loose items.

iRobot Combo j7+

It can also be set to keep Out Zones and Clean Zones to tell the robot which areas it should stay clear of and when to clean them.

The robotic arm is the most important feature of the j7. It keeps the mop pad hidden 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 very well during my tests. The robot backed off when it saw a rug and didn't try to get over it even though I moved the rug several 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 on many other 2-in-1 robotic arms. It is equipped with iRobot PrevisionVision technology to avoid obstacles, which is more advanced than other systems of this kind.
