iRobot That Vacuums and Mops in Your Home

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

The smart 2-in-1 knows how to deal with different messy situations and features an auto-retract mopping device that stops carpet messes from becoming wet. It also comes with a clean, automated base that automatically drains the cleaning solution and takes away debris.

iRobot J7/J7+

The iRobot J7/J7+ is a robot mop that can also vacuum. It can take care of all your cleaning needs. In our tests, it was successful in cleaning, consuming 9.35 grams per run - slightly better than a typical full-sized robot. It's compatible with Alexa or Google Assistant and lets you control the vacuum cleaner and mop with your voice, rather than using an app.

It features a clever design, compact appearance and a simple base. The mop comes with a small water reservoir and robotic arm that raises and lowers it, while a sensor on the bottom of the mop lets you know when the mop is low. The robot has good navigation and can move around your home without hitting any obstacles. It isn't a great fit for certain kinds of carpeting, and may stop working when it detects a rug in its path.

iRobot vSlam Navigation isn't as precise as other robot vacuums we have tested. During our test, the robot zigzagged in what seemed like random ways before forming a map of your home. We didn't think this would be a problem in real-world use, but it became difficult when trying to create a specific cleaning route.

The iRobot can also detect objects that it comes across. It uses a camera and PrecisionVision to identify things like cords, shoes and toys, as well as pet waste so it can avoid them or even around them when mopping. It was successful in our testing and we were awestruck by the amount of pet waste it snuffed out.

When the iRobot is done vacuuming or mopping, it goes back to its dock and empties its dirt compartment into an internal trash bag that iRobot claims won't require changing for a period of time. The iRobot then returns to its dock and resumpts the task it was completing before returning. The iRobot bin-full sensor can cause it to return to dock even in the event that the bin isn't full.

Smart Navigation

iRobot, which has been in the robotics business for more than 30 years, has pioneered the development of practical robots for homes such as Roomba as well as the first robot that has a mop and vacuum. The iRobot Combo j7+ is an iRobot robot that is based on the Roomba v7 and adds a arm to lift and lower a water tank as well as a mopping mat. It can mop or vacuum simultaneously, or run a separate vacuuming session.

The iRobot app lets you label rooms and set cleaning zones to inform the robot of what areas to focus on and which areas it should avoid. It can also create and save multiple maps of your floorplan to help you comprehend how it is laid out in your home. With the Imprint Smart Mapping feature, the robots from iRobot are able to recognize the common objects in its path like charging cables, toys or pet waste and avoid them. It can even avoid rug mats if you've created a rug-free zone.

It doesn't come with an LIDAR (Light Detection And Ranging) system that is utilized by a variety of other mops and vacuums. However, the iRobot VSLam's technology is impressively precise for a robot which uses cameras and optical sensors to create its map. It eliminates dried milk and other spills that are too fine for most vacuums, and picks up dust that the finer brushes on many robot vacuums are unable to capture.

It's not as efficient as the mopping robots with dedicated mopping capabilities however it is pretty close. Plus, you can start cleaning at any time through the app and it will resume exactly where it left off.

In contrast to other robots that struggle to keep their water tanks full the Combo j7+'s is easy to refill and access. The combo vacuum / mop comes with a small dust bin and water tank that you can clip out of the back of the base. It holds a couple of Bona cleaning products or their own branded version and fills by tapping on the bottom. You can also program the bot to alert you when it's low on water.
