iRobot Vacuum and Mop Combo Review

IRobot's latest Combo J7+ is the first combination vacuum and mop robot. It looks like the Roomba and offers similar rug-smashing capabilities, however the mops are self-filling and compatible with a variety of cleaning products.

A tiny robot arm pops out of the base when you instruct it to mop via the irobot black friday deals Home app or voice assistant. The mops will only be activated when the robot senses it's on a floor that's hard, and they avoid dragging across rugs and carpet.

Here are a few examples of

A robot vacuum and mop is a useful tool for keeping floors clean without relying on the use of a broom or a Swiffer. It can get rid of the sticky mess and keep grime away. This means that you do not have to worry about mess accumulating in areas that are prone to traffic such as mudrooms or kitchens. It also does a better job of cleaning hard floors than a vacuum on its own and it does so in a way that is automatic.

Most irobot vacuum/mop combos can be used on carpets and hard floors, so they're a great option when you have various flooring kinds. The most effective models have features that let you decide how often the robot cleans and how powerful it is. Some also include automatic emptying and can be controlled via voice control.

The J7 Combo+ is one of irobot roomba sale's most well-known robot mop and vacuum combo. It can be transformed into fully-featured robot cleaner simply by pressing a single button. Its features include the same advanced obstacle avoidance as the j7 plus new onboard acoustic sensors to aid in determining the type of floor. The mop can only go over floors that are hard, such as wood or tile when in mop mode. It does not go over carpeting. I tried to trick the j7 Combo+ several times into going over a carpet but it always went back and started where it had left off.

It's not as fast at picking up fine particles of dust that a vacuum could miss, but it's great at getting rid of dried milk stains. It has mopping pads that are easy to refill.

The j7 Combo+ is less expensive than other robot mop and vacuum combos, however it's fairly pricey for a basic machine. It's limited in terms of battery capacity and life which means it has to return to the dock to recharge between cleaning sessions. You'll also need to manually move it to a new room each time you clean as its small size and lack of a scheduling feature mean it can only clean up to 200 square feet at the same time.

Design

The app allows you to schedule and track cleaning chores, as well as create "clean zones" and "keep out zones". You can also control robots through the app or via voice activation using the smart speaker of choice. Many robots come with several modes of operation, and some can detect obstacles for navigation.

The Combo J9+ is a fantastic mop and vacuum combination. It does a great job in both. It is able to remove embedded crumbs, dirt and fur. It also utilizes SmartScrub to scrub the floor with constant pressure for a deeper scrubs of tough dirt such as grime and coffee. Dirt Detective, which learns from previous cleaning missions it prioritizes rooms that have more dirt to ensure they receive thorough cleaning.

The Combo j7+ comes with a mopping mechanism that raises the pad as soon as it comes into contact with carpet or area rugs. This stops the rugs from getting wet and makes cleaning them easier. It is the first robot combination that can be used for mopping and vacuuming both kinds of flooring making it a perfect option for those who have floors that are a mix of soft and hard floors.

The Combo j7+ looks like the regular Roomba J7 robot vacuum. It has a a sleek black plastic body and a brushed aluminum top piece with a circular design bearing the iRobot logo. Its water reservoir is located at the back, while the mop pad is attached to the bottom of the unit. The app informs you when the tank needs to be emptied or filled.

The Combo j9+ is connected to your home's Wi-Fi network and has onboard sensors for obstacle avoidance and navigation. It collects usage data, such as the frequency of its movements around the home and also maps and image data, but it does not use the data to sell or share it with third-party companies without your permission. On its website, the company's Privacy Principles can be found.

Cleaning Performance

A robot vacuum and mop combination can save you time by keeping your floors spotless the majority of the time. You'll still have to bust out a traditional mop for hard-to-clean spots or stains that are particularly dirty but it's less often than you'd otherwise need to do with a separate vacuum cleaner or bucket of water and brush. It's an excellent solution for areas with a lot of traffic such as bathrooms, kitchens, and bathrooms and mudrooms.

If you're looking for more advanced cleaning capabilities look into a dedicated mopping robot irobot roomba. They typically employ pads made of microfiber, a water reservoir filled with only clean water, and a scrub-like motion to clean dirt away, leaving your floors cleaner than a regular vacuum does. Some of them, such as our top pick for upgrades the Braava Jet m6, can squirt detergent into the pad for a more thorough clean.

The biggest drawback to a mop-only robot is that it can't do anything with carpets or area rugs. If a robot comes across these surfaces in vacuum and mop mode it will lower the pad to prevent getting the surfaces wet. This also means that it cannot navigate around them in the event that you have not created 'clean zones' and 'keep-out zones' in the application.

Combination robots are more adept at this. Our top choice is the iRobot j7+ combination. It works much like a normal j7 vacuum but it also comes with a wet mop that it deploys when it spots hard flooring. It's a bit more aggressive than other combo robots in crossing thresholds and rugs however, it will still back up when it encounters them instead of trying to mop them.

If you're really looking to be hands-free with your cleaning, you'll require a robotic vacuum that can learn your floor layout and navigate between rooms without assistance (our upgrade option is the iRobot Braava Jet M6) or a combination model that incorporates the lidar navigation system (like the Roborock S5 Max). It is also possible to set up 'clean zones' and 'keep-out zones within the app so that it knows the exact location of furniture.

Cost

A combined robot vacuum and mop will do a great job of cleaning your floors. However it's more expensive a standalone vacuum cleaner or a dedicated mop robot. The price will depend on whether you want a top-quality model that incorporates mapping technology, which allows it to understand the layout of your home and then clean the space without running out of battery power. This feature is essential for those who have rugs and carpets in your home, and the latest Ecovacs Deebot X2 Omni or Roborock S8 Pro Ultra are the best irobot models that come with this feature.

Another thing to consider is the dimensions of your floors and the number of rooms you will have to mop and vacuum. Smaller rooms will require a smaller robot, and you may be able to do with a robot that only mop or vacuums but doesn't have the two capabilities. For example iRobot's Combo J7+ is an upgrade option that comes with a mop robot with its top-rated Roomba vacuum, and costs less than the cost of a standalone mop robot like the Braava Jet M6.

The Combo j7 Plus also includes the iRobot Clean Station, which auto-empties the mop's dirty water from the cleaning tank when it's full. The base isn't included in the standard j7 model and has to be purchased separately, which partly explains the combo robot's eye-watering $1,099 price tag.

The J7+ is a sleek, modern-looking vacuum-mop hybrid. It's style is similar to Roomba's i7 vacuum. However, it does lack some key features other mop-only bots do. It doesn't offer the same powerful suction as iRobot vacuums. It doesn't have the automatic mop pad cleaning feature, that is becoming more commonplace on high-end mop robots. You can purchase an add-on that washes your mop pad even when it's not in use. This will stop the pads from drying out and getting messy. The j7+ is a excellent value and is among our top robots to clean your floors.
