iRobot Vacuum and Mop Review

This robot vacuum is not afraid to tackle the stairs, unlike some other models. However, just like any other mop or vacuum it is prone to getting blocked by debris, such as loose tennis shoes ribbons, beads, play jewelry, yarn, or other loose objects.

The iRobot Home App allows you to label rooms and even create zones that are not allowed to enter. It also lets you keep track of the progress of your mops and Mop Vacuum Robot their battery status.

iRobot Combo j7+

The Combo J7+ is a part of iRobot's robot vacuum and mop lineup and combines the robotic cleaner's smart mapping capabilities and the ability to deal with spills. It uses the same acoustic sensor that is onboard and iAdapt 2.0 Navigation as the other Roomba models and maps your home seven times faster than previous versions. It also allows you to set Keep Out Zones (for rooms which the robot should not enter) and Clean Zones (for rooms it must clean).

The robotic arm is the main feature of the j7. It keeps the mop pad in place when it is not in use and lowers it for carpeting or hard flooring. In my testing the Combo J7+ did a good job in avoiding spraying water on the rug. The robot was not able to pass over the rug, even though I moved it around a few times.

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