It's Time To Upgrade Your Irobot Vacuum Options

iRobot Vacuum and Mop Review

This robot vacuum is not too scared to climb the stairs, unlike some other models. Like all mops and vacuums it is susceptible to getting blocked by debris, such as tennis shoes, thread, jewelry or other loose objects.

You can use the iRobot Home app to label rooms and create zones that are not allowed to enter. You can also monitor the performance of your mops as well as their battery levels.

irobot vacuum mop combo Combo j7+

The Combo j7+ is a robot vacuum and mop that combine the smart mapping capabilities of iRobot along with the ability to handle spills. It has the same onboard acoustic sensors and iAdapt 2.0 navigation as other Roomba options and maps your home 7x faster than previous models. It also allows you to set Keep Out Zones (for rooms that the robot should avoid) and Clean Zones (for rooms it is required to clean).

The j7's most important feature is its robotic arm which keeps the mop pad tucked away when not in use and lowers it to tackle carpeting or hard flooring. In my tests, the Combo J7+ did a great job in avoiding spraying water on the rug. The robot did not try to walk across the rug, even though I moved it around a few times.

The arm comes with an 240mL tank that can be easily pulled out and filled, making it simpler to operate than the mop pads of many other 2-in-1 robots. It also uses the iRobot's PrevisionVision obstacle avoidance technology, which is more advanced than other systems of this type.

iRobot Combo i5

It is designed to do both vacuuming and mopping with the same machine, this is a top choice for multitaskers. The vacuuming process is performed with a specially designed bin that can hold up to 60 days worth of debris and iRobot claims can reduce the amount of dust released into the air during the process. The i5+ comes with dual multi-surface rubber brush and Power-Lifting suction to tackle dust and dirt as well as pet hair and stains. When it's time 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 will learn your floorplan, creating a Smart Map that remembers room names and your specific cleaning preferences. It can then be directed to clean your room or schedule a schedule for the entire area of your home using the iRobot app.

iRobot can recognize household clutter such as shoes, bags, cords and toys. It will then automatically stop and return to the docking station, giving it to recharge and finish the cleaning task at a later time. 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 robot vacuum and mop from iRobot is a good option for homes with carpets and hard floors. It utilizes intelligent mapping to remove obstacles and efficiently clean. It also has different mopping options, including a powerful SmartScrub system which helps remove tough staining. It also allows you to create No Mop Zones to ensure carpets don't get swept up. The dock refills the mopping fluid in a timely manner. This model is more expensive than the previous Roomba Combo j7+, however it has more features.

Its patented Mopping Drive System applies a pressure to the floor, allowing for a deeper clean. It also gets rid of tough staining. It can also get under furniture and into tight spaces to provide a thorough clean. The Combo J5+ can be used in conjunction with the iRobot Clean Base to automatically dispose of dirt.

Smart Mapping allows it to navigate your home seven times faster than before5 while identifying rooms with 90% accuracy6. It can also create an entire map of your home, so it can clean your entire home in just one step. 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 remotely control your robot via the iRobot App.

iRobot Combo i3

The iRobot Combo i3 has been upgraded from the original Roomba i3. It still has a HEPA-filter to eliminate allergens and has the same great external dust compartment, but it now supports smart mapping. It is now possible to create zones that are not accessible to prevent the vacuum from vacuuming these areas repeatedly. The i3 Plus has a lot of other fantastic features, including its advanced cleaning system and a power-lifting 10x vacuum. It also comes with a three-stage cleaning procedure. It has a textured finish to keep dust, pet hair and fingerprints away.

It does well on plain flooring and can clean up most of the debris, but it struggled with pet hair on low-pile carpets. It is quieter and does a great job on high pile carpets. The i3 is a little more expensive than the Roborock S4 Max but it comes with a self-emptying system which emptys the dirtbag, iRobot Vacuum and Mop fills its water reservoir and cleans its mop pads.

With the i3 app you can make schedules to clean at a time that suits your requirements. You can also control your robot using your voice assistant to begin or stop cleaning. It can also track the unique layout of your home to offer a customized cleaning routine and schedule. It utilizes the latest sensors for mapping to navigate hardwood and carpet, and learns your routine to maximize performance.

iRobot Combo i2

The Combo i2 is the latest robot vacuum and mop from iRobot. It combines iRobot's smart floor cleaning technologies to make it an excellent option for homes with hard floors and carpets or rugs. The Combo i2 has a combo system that allows it to switch between mopping or vacuuming by pressing the button. It also comes with iRobot’s advanced navigation technology. Its PrevisionVision system is far superior to the average and will avoid obstacles like power cables and stairs.

Its Smart Map remembers the rooms you clean and your preferred settings. It can even tell whether it's in a space that needs special 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.

Another great aspect of the Combo i2 is its dual multi-surface brushes. They provide a cleaner cleaning than standard mops by removing more dirt from deep down in corners and along edges. This is made possible by the robot's acoustic sensors on board. 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 an programmable schedule.

iRobot Combo i1

The Combo i1 robot vacuum can also mop. When it detects a surface that needs to be cleaned the robotic arm equipped with a cleaning pad lifts the entire unit and then swings underneath it. You can add cleaning solution by pulling out a combined water tank and dust bin on the back. The robot uses the Bona cleaning product, however it can also be used with other brands.

In contrast to most robot vacuums the Combo i1 can retract its mophead completely to the top of the robot when it spots carpet. This lets it vacuum and then clean the carpet with its microfiber cloths, ensuring all surfaces are spot-free. It comes with a wide range of sensors and impressive navigation capabilities to avoid obstacles such as cords and furniture.

It also has a boosted battery to run for longer, and an automatic self-emptying mode that will reduce the frequency of emptying its dustbin. It's a great option for families who want the convenience of one 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 dates.

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 is compatible with Alexa and Google Assistant, so you can control it with voice commands. It also has smart mapping technology, so you can set a schedule and the robot will perform the work for you.

It comes with a slim docking station that doesn't occupy any space. It also has an emptyable dirt compartment. However you won't be able to view the inside of the compartment since it's constructed of transparent plastic. The i4 also lacks features like the AI-powered obstacle-avoidance and keep-out zones that are found on the j7 or the j7+.

However, it does have a powerful vacuum system and rubber brushes that do not get caught in pet hair. It's also a good choice for homes with high-pile carpet because it is able to handle the more dirt and debris better than weaker vacuums. The i4 is also less demanding in terms of maintenance requirements, incurs lower cost of maintenance and runs longer in its weakest suction mode than the i7.
