iRobot Vacuum and Mop Review

In contrast to some robot vacuums this one isn't afraid to go on the stairs. But, just like any mop and vacuum it could get blocked by debris, such as stray tennis shoes ribbons, beads or yarn, play jewelry 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 monitor your mops's progress and the status of its battery.

iRobot Combo j7+

The Combo j7+ joins the iRobot mop and robotic vacuum line-up that combines the best robot and mop vacuum cleaner's smart mapping capabilities with the ability to deal with spills. It is equipped with the same acoustic sensor that is onboard and iAdapt 2.0 Navigation as the other Roomba models and maps your home seven times more quickly than previous versions. It also lets you set Keep Out Zones and Clean Zones to inform the robot which areas it should avoid and when to clean them.

The most notable feature of the j7 is its robotic arm, which keeps the mop pad locked away when not in use, and then lowers it to clean carpets or hard floors. The concept is to prevent spraying water onto the rug and the Combo J7+ did a good job of it during my tests. The robot was not able to cross the rug, even after I moved it around a few times.

The arm comes with a 240mL tank that can be easily removed and filled, so it's simpler to operate than mop pads found in other 2-in-1 robots. It also makes use of the iRobot's PrevisionVision obstacle avoidance technology, which is more advanced than other systems of this type.

iRobot Combo i5

This multitasker can vacuum and mop with one machine. Its vacuuming is done by a specialised bin that holds up to 60 days' worth of debris and iRobot claims reduces the amount of dust released into the air during the process. The i5+ also features dual multi-surface rubber brushes as well as Power-Lifting Suction to tackle dust, dirt, pet hair and stains on hard floors. Simply replace the Mopping Bin with a compatible cleaning product and you're set to mop.

The i5+ uses iRobot OS which means it becomes smarter as you use it. It creates a Smart Map, which remembers the names of rooms and your preferences for cleaning. It can then be directed to clean a room or schedule a schedule for a complete section of your home with the iRobot app.

iRobot is equipped with the ability to recognise household clutter like cords shoes, toys, and bags. It will then automatically stop and then return to dock for a recharge and finish the cleaning job at a later point. It is voice-compatible with Amazon Alexa and Apple Siri, and understands around 600 voice commands. This is more than any other 2-in-1 robot.

iRobot Combo j5

This robotic mop and vacuum from iRobot is ideal for homes with hard floors or carpets. It makes use of intelligent mapping to remove obstacles and efficiently clean. It offers multiple mopping options such as the SmartScrub system that can remove tough staining. Additionally, it is able to create No Mop Zones to ensure that carpets are not being sucked up, and the dock automatically replenishes mopping solutions. The price is higher than the previous Roomba Combo j7+, however it has more features.

It still has a HEPA-filter to eliminate allergens and has the same excellent external dust compartment, but it now supports smart mapping. You can now designate no-go areas to prevent the vacuum from vacuuming these areas again. The i3 Plus has a lot of other great features, such as its advanced cleaning system and a power-lifting 10x vacuum. It also has a three-stage cleaning process. It comes with a textured surface to keep dust, pet hair and fingerprints away.

It removes most dirt and is a great choice for unfinished flooring, but did experience problems with pet hair on low-pile carpets. It is quieter and does a fantastic job on carpets with high pile. The i3 is a little more expensive than the Roborock S4 Max but it comes with a self-emptying station that empties the dirtbag, refills its water reservoir, and cleans the mop pads.

You can create cleaning schedules with the i3 App. You can also control your robot with your voice assistant to begin or stop cleaning. It also tracks the unique floor plan of your home to give you a customized schedule and cleaning routines. It uses advanced mapping sensors to help you navigate hardwood and carpet floors, and learns how you clean to improve performance.

The Combo i1 robot vacuum can also mop. If the unit senses that a surface needs to be cleaned, it lifts and swings under it with a robotic arm equipped with the cleaning pad. It is possible to add cleaning solution by pulling out a water tank and dustbin at the back of the. The robot is equipped with the Bona cleaning product, but it can also be used with other brands.

The Combo i1 is unlike most robot vacuums as it can retract the mophead towards the top of its robot when it spots carpet. It can sweep the carpet before wiping it clean using its microfiber cloths. This will ensure that the surfaces are clean. It has a full suite of sensors and a dazzling navigation system to help it avoid obstacles such as cords and furniture.

It also has a boosted battery that will keep it running for longer as well as an automatic self-emptying mode that will reduce the frequency of emptying its trash bin. It's a good option for families who want the convenience of a single robot, but with the flexibility of multiple cleaning modes. It can be controlled by voice commands using Alexa or Siri on devices that are compatible with Google Assistant. It can even be scheduled to begin and stop at the time you leave and come back.

iRobot Combo i4

This iRobot robot vacuum and mop is great for anyone who wants a clean house without having to lift a hand. It is compatible with Alexa or Google Assistant so you can use voice commands to control it. Plus, it has smart mapping technology, so you can create a schedule and the robot will do the work for you.

It has an docking station that has an incredibly low profile, which takes up little space. It also has an emptyable dirt compartment. The compartment is constructed of transparent plastic, so you can't see the contents. The i4 also lacks some features, like keep-out zones and the AI-powered obstacle avoidance found on the j7 and j7+ models.

It does, however, come with a strong vacuum system and brushes made of rubber that don't get caught in pet hair. It's an excellent choice for homes that have high-pile carpets as it can take on more dirt and debris than less powerful vacuums. The i4 is also less invasive in terms of maintenance requirements, has lower recurring costs and has a longer runtime in its weakest suction mode than the i7.
