iRobot That Vacuums and Mops in Your Home

Many robots that vacuum or mop aren't able to navigate homes with rugs and thresholds. The iRobot Combo j7 is a great option for most homes because it comes with a navigation and mapping system that comes with advanced features.

The smart 2-in-1 is equipped to take on different messes and it uses an auto-retract system that prevents carpet mess. It also has a clean base that empties dirt and refills cleaning solution automatically, faster than competitors.

iRobot J7/J7+

The iRobot J7/J7+ is a robotic mop that also has the ability to vacuum. It can handle all of your cleaning requirements. It's a top performer when it comes to cleaning in our tests, taking up 9.35 grams of debris per run, which is a bit more than the average amount picked up of a large robot vacuum. It's also compatible with Alexa and Google Assistant, letting you control the vacuum as well as the mop by speaking to it instead of using the app.

It has a smart design with a small footprint and a neat base. The mop comes with a small reservoir of water and a robotic arm that can raise and lower it, while a sensor at the bottom lets you know when the mop is low. The robot can navigate well and move around your home without hitting obstacles. It can be a bit difficult to navigate on some carpets and can stop working if it spots the presence of a rug.

iRobot vSlam Navigation isn't as precise as other robot vacuums we have tested. In our tests, the robot zigzagged randomly before creating a map. We didn't see this to be a problem during real-world use, but it became difficult when trying to set up a specific cleaning route.

Another cool feature is ability of iRobot to recognize objects that cross its path. It uses a camera and PrecisionVision to identify things like shoes, cords toys, pet waste and other items so it can avoid them or around them when mopping. It performed well during our tests, and we were impressed by the amount of pet waste it avoided.

When the iRobot completes its vacuuming or mopping task, it returns to its dock and empty its dirt compartment into an internal trash bag that iRobot states won't require change for a period of time. It then resumes whatever task it was doing before returning to its dock. The iRobot bin-full sensor could cause it to return to the dock even when the bin isn't full.

Smart Navigation

iRobot has been in the robot business for 30 years now and has brought us FDA-approved remote presence robots for use in hospitals, pioneered practical home robots such as Roomba and helped pave the way for the first combo mop and vacuum robot. Their iRobot Combo j7+ takes the excellent Roomba v7 and includes an arm that can lift and lower the water tank, which is small, and mopping pads. It can mop and vacuum at the same time, or run a separate session.

The iRobot app allows you to mark rooms and set cleaning zones to inform the robot which areas it should concentrate on and which areas to ignore. It can also automatically create and save multiple floorplan maps to better comprehend the arrangement of your home. With the Imprint Smart Mapping feature, the robots from iRobot are able to recognise common objects in its path like toys, charging cables or pet waste and steer clear of them. It even recognizes rugs and avoids them if you've created a rug zone.

It doesn't have a LIDAR (Light Detection And Ranging) system, which is used by a variety of other mops and vacuums. However, the iRobot VSLam's technology is remarkablely precise for a robot which uses cameras and optical sensors to make its map. It eliminates dried milk and other spills that are too small for most vacuums and collects dust that the finer brushes of most robot vacuums fail to pick up completely.

Although it's not able to get the job done as thoroughly as a dedicated mopping robot however, it is pretty close. You can also begin a cleaning session at any time by using the app and it will resume exactly where it left off.

The Combo J7+ is easy to refill and access unlike some other robots which struggle to keep their water tanks filled. The combination vacuum and mop includes a tiny dust bin and water tank that can be clipped from the back of the base. It can hold two Bona cleaning solutions or their own version, and is filled from a tap on the bottom. You can even set the bot to automatically alert you when it's running low on water.
