iRobot Vacuum and Mop Review

In contrast to some robot vacuums this one isn't afraid to go on the stairs. However, just like all vacuums and mops it is prone to getting blocked by debris such as stray tennis shoes or ribbons, yarn, play jewelry or other stray objects.

You can use the iRobot Home app to label rooms and create no-go zones. You can also monitor the progress of your mops and their battery status.

iRobot Combo j7+

The Combo J7+ is part of the iRobot mop and robotic vacuum line-up, combining the robotic cleaner's smart mapping capabilities and its ability to tackle spills. It uses the same acoustic sensors onboard and iAdapt 2.0 navigation that are used in other Roomba options and maps your home seven times faster than earlier models. It also allows you to create Keep out Zones (for rooms that the robot should avoid) and Clean Zones (for rooms that it must clean).

The j7's most important feature is its robotic arm, which keeps the mop pad locked away when it's not in use and lowers it to deal with carpets or hard flooring. In my testing the Combo J7+ did a great job at avoiding spraying water onto the rug. The robot backed off when it encountered the rug, and didn't attempt to cross it, even though I moved the rug several times.

The arm has a 240mL tank which can be easily pulled out and filled, so it's simpler to operate than mop pads on other 2-in-1 robots. It uses iRobot PrevisionVision technology to avoid obstacles, which is more advanced than other systems similar to it.
