iRobot Vacuum and Mop Review

Unlike some robot vacuums, this one isn't afraid to go on the stairs. Like all mops and vacuums, it is susceptible to getting blocked by objects like tennis shoes, jewelry, thread, or other loose items.

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 levels.

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 has 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 earlier models. It also lets you set Keep Out Zones and Clean Zones to tell the robot which areas it should avoid and when it should clean them.

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 when carpeting or hard flooring. In my tests, the Combo J7+ did a great job at avoiding spraying water onto the rug. The robot didn't attempt to cross the rug, even after I moved it around a few times.

The arm comes with a 240mL tank which can be easily removed and refilled. This makes it more convenient to use than the mop pads found on many other 2-in-1 robotic arms. It also uses the iRobot's PrevisionVision technology to avoid obstacles, which is more sophisticated than some systems of this type.
