iRobot Vacuum and Mop Combo Review

IRobot's latest Combo j7+ robot is the first combinator vacuum and mop. It's akin to the Roomba and is equipped with similar rug-avoiding capabilities. However, the mops can be used with a wider variety of cleaning products and are self-filling.

A small robot arm pops out of the base when you command it to mop using the iRobot Home app or voice assistant. The mops only deploy when the robot is aware that it's on a hard floor and avoids drag across carpets and rugs.

Here are a few examples of

A robot vacuum mop combination can be a useful tool to keep floors tidy, without having to rely on a broom and a Swiffer. It can remove sticky messes, and keep dirt out. This means you do not have to worry about mess building up in areas with high traffic, such as kitchens or mudrooms. It also does a better job of cleaning hard floors than vacuums alone and it does it completely automatically.

Most irobot vacuum/mop combos can be used on carpet and hard floors, so they are a great choice if your home has different flooring kinds. The best models include features that allow you to control how often the robot cleans and the power it uses. Some models also have automatic emptying and can be controlled via voice commands.

The J7 Combo+ is one of irobot for pet hair's most well-known robot mop and vacuum combo. It can be converted into a fully-featured robot cleaner by pressing one button. Its smarts include the same advanced obstacle avoidance technology as the j7 plus new onboard acoustic sensors that help determine floor type. The mop only goes 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 to where it began.

Like many combo robots, it's a little slow in picking up the fine dust that a vacuum can miss however, it is a great job of getting rid of dried milk stains. It comes with a mopping pad which is easy to refill.

The J7 Combo+ may be less expensive than other robot vacuum and mop combos however, it's still quite expensive for a basic one. It's limited in battery capacity and battery life, so it must return to the dock to recharge between cleaning sessions. It is also necessary to manually transfer it to a different room for each cleaning session as its small size and lack of a scheduling function mean it can only clean up 200 square feet at a time.

Design

irobot self empty base has developed an app for its robots. It lets you plan and track cleaning tasks and also create "clean zones" or "keep out zones." The robots can be controlled via the app or voice activation using the smart speaker you prefer. Many offer multiple power modes and can even detect obstacles to assist in navigation.

The Combo J9+ is a fantastic mop and vacuum. It does a fantastic job in both. It is able to remove dirt, crumbs and fur. It also uses SmartScrub to scrub the floor in a circular motion with consistent pressure for deeper scrubs of tough dirt such as coffee and grime. Dirt Detective, which has learned from previous cleaning mission, prioritizes the areas with the most dirt so that they get thorough cleaning.

The Combo J7+ comes with a mopping system that raises the pad when it is smacking against carpet or area rugs. This stops the rugs from getting wet, and makes cleaning them simpler. It is also the first combo robot that is able to mop and vacuum any type of floor which makes it a great option for those with floors that are a mix of hard and soft floors.

The Combo J7+ is similar to the standard Roomba J7 robotic vacuum. It has sleek black body and an aluminum top piece brushed featuring the iRobot Logo. The reservoir for water is in the back, and the mop pad is attached to the bottom of the unit. The app will let you know when the tank is empty or requires to be refilled.

The Combo J9+ is connected to your home's Wi-Fi network and features onboard sensors for navigation and obstacle avoidance. It also collects usage data like how often the Combo j9+ travels around your home, and also mapping and image data. However it doesn't sell or share the data with third parties without consent. 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 most of the time. You'll still need to take out a traditional mop for hard-to-clean spots or stains that are particularly dirty, but this is less often than you might otherwise need to do with a single vacuum cleaner or bucket of water and brush. It's an excellent solution for areas with high traffic or that are particularly dirty, like bathrooms, kitchens and mudrooms.

Think about a robot for mopping If you're looking to get the most advanced cleaning. They use a microfiber, a reservoir of only clean water and a scrubby motion to eliminate dirt. They are more effective than a irobots vacuum cleaner. Some of them models, like our top pick, Braava Jet M6, even squirts detergent into the pad to give it a more thorough clean.

The main drawback of a robot that just mops is that it can't take care of carpets or area rugs. If a robot is in contact with these surfaces while in mop and vacuum modes it will lower its pad to avoid getting the surface wet. This also means that it won't be able to navigate around them unless you set up separate 'clean zones' as well as "keep out zones" in the app.

Combination robots are better in this. Our top pick is the newest irobot J7+ combo. It's similar to a standard j7 but has a wet mop included that it utilizes when it detects hard floors. It's more aggressive than other robots when it comes to crossing thresholds and rugs. However, it does not back off when it comes across these obstacles instead of attempting to mop them.

If you're really looking to take your hands off of cleaning, you'll require a robotic vacuum that is able to 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 a lidar navigation system (like the Roborock S5 Max). You may also need to set up clean zones and 'keep-out zones in the app to ensure it can recognize the exact location of furniture.

Cost

A robot vacuum that is also a mop does a good job of cleaning your floors. It is more expensive than a standalone mop or a separate vacuum. The price will depend on whether you'd like a high-end model with mapping technology which lets it learn your home's layout and keep the room clean without running out of battery power. This feature is a must-have if you have rugs and carpets in your home, and the more recent Ecovacs Deebot X2 Omni or Roborock S8 Pro Ultra are the top models that have this capability.

Another thing to consider is the size of your floors as well as the number of rooms you will need to vacuum and mop. Smaller rooms will require smaller robots. It is possible to make do with a device that can vacuum or mop but not both. iRobot Combo j7+, for instance is a great option that bundles a dedicated mop for robots with its top-rated Roomba and costs a fraction of the price a standalone mop such as the Braava jet M6 costs.

The Combo j7 Plus also includes iRobot's Clean Station, which auto-empties the soiled mop water out of the tank that is full. The base isn't included in the standard j7 model, and must be purchased separately, which partly is the reason for the combo robot's eye-watering $1,099 price tag.

The j7+'s design is sleek and modern-looking, and it looks almost like the fad Roomba i7 vacuum, which is what makes it an attractive choice for vacuum-mop hybrids. However, it does lack certain key features that other mop-only bots have. It doesn't have the powerful suction of 8,300Pa as iRobot vacuums. Also, it doesn't have the option of automatically washing mop pads, something that is becoming more common on mop robots with premium features. But, you can purchase an add-on for the j7+ to wash the mop pad even when you're not using it. This will keep the pads from drying out and becoming dirty. Aside from that, the J7+ is a great value and one of the top robots for cleaning your floors.
