iRobot Vacuum and Mop Review
The robot vacuum isn't afraid to tackle the stairs, unlike some other models. However, like any other mop or vacuum it is prone to getting blocked by debris such as stray tennis shoes, ribbons or yarn, play jewelry or other stray objects.
The iRobot Home App allows you to label rooms, and also create zones of no-go areas. You can also monitor the performance of your mops as well as their battery levels.
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 acoustic sensor onboard and iAdapt 2.0 Navigation as the other Roomba models and maps your home seven times faster than previous versions. It can also be set to keep Out Zones and Clean Zones to inform the robot which areas it should avoid and when to clean them.
The robotic arm is the most important feature of the j7. It keeps the mop pad in place when not in use and lowers it for carpeting or hard flooring. In my testing, the Combo J7+ was successful at avoiding spraying water onto the rug. The robot did not try to cross the rug, even after I moved it around a few times.
The arm has an 240mL tank that can be easily pulled out and filled, so it's more manageable than mop pads on other 2-in-1 robots. It uses iRobot PrevisionVision obstacle-avoidance technology which is more advanced than other systems similar to it.

The i5+ also comes with dual multi-surface rubber brushes as well as Power-Lifting Suction to tackle dirt, dust, pet hair and staining on floors. Simply swap the Mopping Bin with a compatible cleaning product and you're set to mop.
The i5+ uses iRobot OS, which means it gets smarter as you use it. It creates a Smart Map, which remembers the names of rooms as well as your cleaning preferences. It can then be directed to clean a space or set a timer for the entire section of your home with the iRobot app.

It will then stop and return to the docking station, allowing it to recharge and complete the cleaning task at a later date.
