iRobot Vacuum and Mop Review
This robot vacuum is not scared to take on the stairs, unlike some other models. Like any mop or vacuum it is susceptible to clogging due to objects like tennis shoes, play jewelry, thread or other loose objects.
The iRobot Home App allows you to label rooms, and create no-go zones. It also lets you monitor your mops's progress and battery condition.
iRobot Combo j7+
The Combo j7+ is a robot vacuum and mop that combines smart mapping capabilities of iRobot with its ability to deal with spills. It uses the same onboard acoustic sensor and iAdapt 2.0 Navigation as the other Roomba models and maps your home seven times more quickly than previous versions. It also allows you to set Keep Out Zones (for rooms that the robot should avoid) and Clean Zones (for rooms that it is required to clean).
The robotic arm is the main feature of the J7. It keeps the mop pad hidden when not in use and lowers it for carpeting or hard flooring. The idea is to not spray water on the rug, and the Combo J7+ did well at this in my testing. The robot did not try to pass over the rug, even though I moved it around several times.
The arm has a 240mL tank which can be easily pulled out and filled, making it more manageable than mop pads found in other 2-in-1 robots. It uses iRobot PrevisionVision obstacle-avoidance technology that is more advanced than other systems of this kind.
iRobot Combo i5
Designed for both vacuuming and mopping with the same machine it is a great choice for multitaskers. The vacuuming is done with a specially designed bin that can hold up to 60 days of debris. According to iRobot it reduces the amount of dust released into the air. The i5+ also comes with dual multi-surface rubber brushes as well as Power-Lifting Suction to take care of dust, dirt, pet hair and stains on hard floors. When you're ready to mop, simply switch in the Mopping Bin and a compatible cleaning solution.
The i5+ runs iRobot OS and becomes smarter the more you use it. It learns your floorplan, creating a Smart Map that remembers room names and your personal cleaning preferences. The iRobot App lets you create a schedule or instruct the robot to clean a specific room.
iRobot can recognize household clutter such as shoes, bags cords, toys, and even cords. It will then automatically stop and return to the docking station, allowing it to recharge and finish the cleaning task later. It is voice-compatible with Amazon Alexa and Apple Siri, and understands approximately 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 utilizes smart mapping to avoid obstacles and clean efficiently. It also has different mopping options that include a powerful SmartScrub feature which helps remove tough stains. It is also able to set No Mop Zones so that carpets aren't sucked up. The dock can refill the mopping fluid in a timely manner. This model is more expensive than the previous Roomba Combo J7+ but comes with more features.
Its patented Mopping Drive System applies a pressure to the floor, allowing an even deeper cleaning. It also gets rid of tough stains. It can also reach under furniture and in tight spaces to give a thorough clean. The Combo J5+ can be used in conjunction with the iRobot Clean Base to automatically dispose of dirt.

iRobot Combo i3
The iRobot Combo i3 is an updated version of the original Roomba i3. It still comes with a HEPA-filter to trap allergens and the same great external dust compartment, but it now supports smart mapping. You can now create zones that are not accessible to prevent the vacuum from vacuuming these areas repeatedly. The i3 Plus has a lot of other great features, such as its advanced cleaning system and 10x power-lifting vacuum. It also has the ability to clean in three stages. It also features a textured exterior to ward off dust, fingerprints and hair of pets.
It removes most dirt and is a great choice for bare flooring, but had trouble with pet hair on low-pile carpets. It does a fantastic job with carpets with a high pile and is quieter than the other models. The i3 is a bit more expensive than the Roborock S4 Max but it has a self-emptying station that empties the dirtbag, refills its water reservoir, and cleans its mop pads.
You can create cleaning schedules with the i3 App. You can also make use of your voice assistant to control your robot and start or stop the cleaning. It also tracks your home's unique floor layout to offer personalized scheduling and cleaning habits. It makes use of advanced mapping sensors to help you navigate hardwood and carpet floors, and it also teaches you how you clean to improve performance.

The dual multi-surface brush is a amazing feature of the Combo i2. They provide a cleaner cleaning than standard mops by removing more dirt deep into corners and along edges. The robot's acoustic sensor can do this. The Combo i2 is also equipped with powerful suction and an intelligent design. It can be controlled via the iRobot app, voice assistants, and a programmable schedule.
iRobot Combo i1
The Combo i1 robot vacuum can also mop. If the unit senses that a surface needs to be cleaned, it lifts and swivels underneath it using a robotic arm equipped with a cleaning pad. It is possible to add cleaning solution by pulling out a dustbin and water tank on the back of the. The robot utilizes a Bona cleaning product, however it can also be utilized with other brands.
Unlike most robot vacuums, the Combo i1 can retract its mophead completely to the top of the robot when it senses carpet. It can sweep the carpet, then wipe it clean with its microfiber cloths. This will ensure that all surfaces are clean. It comes with a wide range of sensors and a dazzling navigation system to help it avoid obstacles such as furniture and cords.
It also has a boosted battery to keep it going for longer and an automatic self-emptying mode that will reduce the frequency of emptying its dustbin.

This iRobot robot vacuum and mop is great for anyone who wants to clean house without having to lift a hand. It works with Alexa and Google Assistant, so you can control it using voice commands. It also has smart mapping technology, so you can set up a schedule for the robot to follow.
robot vacuum mops has a low-profile docking station that doesn't occupy any space. It also has an empty dirt compartment. The compartment is made of opaque plastic, which means you won't be able to see the contents.

It does come with a strong vacuum system and brushes made of rubber that don't get tangled by pet hair. It's a great option for homes that have high-pile carpets because it can handle more dirt and debris than less powerful vacuums. The I4 is also less demanding in terms of maintenance requirements, and has lower cost of maintenance and has a longer runtime in its most powerful suction mode than the i7.
