iRobot Vacuum and Mop Review
This robot vacuum is not afraid to tackle the stairs, unlike others. But, just like any other mop or vacuum it is prone to getting blocked by debris such as stray tennis shoes ribbons, beads or yarn, play jewelry or other loose objects.
You can use the iRobot Home app to label rooms and create no-go zones. You can also monitor the progress of your mops and their battery status.
iRobot Combo j7+
The Combo j7+ is a robot vacuum and mop that combines the smart mapping capabilities of iRobot and 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 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 keep clean).
The robotic arm is the main feature of the j7. It keeps the mop pad in place when not in use, and lowers it when carpeting or hard flooring. The concept is to prevent spraying water on the rug and the Combo J7+ did a good job of it in my testing. The robot was not able to pass over the rug, even after I moved it around several times.
The arm comes with a 240mL tank which is easy to remove and refilled. This makes it much easier to use than the mop pads on many other 2-in-1 robotic arms. It also utilizes iRobot's PrevisionVision obstacle avoidance technology which is more sophisticated than other systems of this type.
iRobot Combo i5
Designed for mopping and vacuuming with the same machine, this is a top choice for multitaskers. The vacuuming is done by using a special bin that can accommodate up to 60 days worth of dust. According to iRobot, this reduces the amount dust released into the air. The i5+ also comes with dual multi-surface rubber brushes and Power-Lifting Suction to tackle dust, dirt pet hair and dirt on hard floors. When you're ready to mop, just swap between the Mopping Bin and a compatible cleaning solution.
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. The iRobot App lets you create a schedule, or tell the best robot vacuum mop to clean a specific room.
iRobot has built in the ability to recognize household clutter, such as cords shoes, toys, and bags. It will then automatically stop and return to the docking station, giving it to recharge and complete the cleaning task later. It also supports voice commands with Amazon Alexa, Apple Siri and Google Assistant, understanding around 600 voice commands - far more than any competing 2-in-1 robot.
iRobot Combo j5
This robot mop and vacuum from iRobot can be used in homes with carpets or hard floors. It makes use of intelligent mapping and eliminates obstacles to ensure that it cleans efficiently. It offers multiple mopping options, including the SmartScrub system to remove tough stains. Additionally, it is able to set No Mop Zones in order to ensure that carpets don't get getting sucked up. Additionally, its dock automatically refills mopping solutions. This model is more expensive than the previous Roomba Combo J7+ but offers more features.
Its patented Mopping Drive System applies a pressure to the floor, allowing a deeper clean. It also gets rid of tough stains. It can also reach under furniture and into tight spaces to give a thorough clean. The Combo J5+ is compatible with the iRobot Clean Base for automatic dirt disposal.
Smart Mapping allows it to navigate your home seven times faster than before5, while identifying rooms with 90% accuracy6. It can even create a map of your entire house, meaning you can clean up any area you like after just one trip. It can also avoid objects such as cords, backpacks or pet toys. It will also avoid shoes, socks, and litter boxes. You can plan cleaning schedules in your home and control your robot remotely using the iRobot App.
iRobot Combo i3
The iRobot Combo i3 is an updated version of the original Roomba i3. It still has a HEPA-filter to trap allergens and the same great external dust compartment, but it now supports smart mapping. This means that you can designate no-go zones to stop it from vacuuming those areas again. The i3 Plus has a lot of other great features, including its advanced cleaning system and a power-lifting 10x vacuum. It also has a three-stage cleaning procedure. It also has a textured surface to ward off dust, fingerprints and hairs of pets.
It is able to clean most debris and is great on unfinished flooring, but did experience problems with pet hair on carpets with low pile. It is quieter and does an excellent job on carpets with high pile. The i3 costs a bit more than the Roborock S4 Max, but it comes with a self-emptying system that cleans the mop pads and replenishes the water reservoir.
With the i3 app, you can create schedules to clean at a time that suits your requirements. You can also control your robot with your voice assistant to begin or stop cleaning. It also tracks the unique layout of your home to offer a customized cleaning routine and scheduling. It uses advanced mapping sensors to navigate carpet and hardwood floors, and it also teaches you how you clean to optimize performance.
iRobot Combo i2
The Combo i2 is the latest robot vacuum and mop from iRobot. It combines iRobot’s smart floor cleaning technology to make it a great option for homes with hard flooring as well as rugs or carpets. The Combo i2 has a combo system that lets it switch between mopping or vacuuming at the touch of one button. It also has iRobot's advanced navigation technology. Its PrevisionVision navigation system is better than the average and will steer clear of obstacles, such as power cords - and stairways.
Its Smart Map remembers your rooms and your specific cleaning preferences. It can even detect if it's in a room that requires extra attention, such as the living or kitchen. It also comes with the Clean Base Automatic Dirt Disposal System, which empties dust automatically for up to 60 days.
The dual multi-surface brush is another excellent feature of the Combo i2. They are more effective than standard mops, removing dirt from edges and corners. The acoustic sensor of the robot allows this. The Combo i2 is also equipped with powerful suction and an intelligent design. It can be controlled using the iRobot App as well as voice assistants, and a programmable calendar.
iRobot Combo i1
The Combo i1 robot vacuum can also mop. When the unit detects that a surface must be cleaned, it lifts and swivels underneath it using a robotic arm equipped with the cleaning pad. It is possible to add cleaning solution by pulling out a dustbin and water tank on the back. The robot is equipped with a unique Bona cleaning solution, but it can be utilized with other brands.
Contrary to other robot vacuums, the Combo i1 can retract its mophead completely to the top of the robot when it spots carpet. It can sweep the carpet, then wipe it clean with its microfiber cloths. This ensures that all surfaces are spotless. It has a full suite of sensors and impressive navigation capabilities to help it avoid obstacles like furniture and cords.
It also comes with an upgraded battery to last longer, and self-emptying mode that decreases the frequency of emptying the bin. It's a great choice for families who want the convenience of a single robot, but with the flexibility offered by the various cleaning modes. It can be controlled via voice commands via Alexa or Siri on devices that are compatible with Google Assistant. It can be programmed to start and stop at specific times.
iRobot Combo i4
This iRobot robot vacuum and mop is great for those who want a clean home without having to lift a hand. It's compatible with Alexa or Google Assistant so you can use voice commands to control it. Plus, it has smart mapping technology that means you can set a schedule and the robot will do the work for you.
It has an docking station that has low profile and occupies a small space. It also includes a dirt storage compartment that can be emptied at the touch of a button. The compartment is made of opaque plastic which means you won't be able to see the contents. The i4 is also missing some features, such as zones to keep out and AI-powered obstacle avoidance found on the j7 and j7+ models.
It does come with a powerful vacuum system and rubber brushes that do not get caught in pet hair. It's also a good choice for carpets with a high pile because it is able to handle the more dirt and debris better than less powerful vacuums. The i4 is also less invasive in terms of maintenance requirements, has lower cost of maintenance and has a longer runtime in its most powerful suction mode than the i7.
