iRobot Vacuum and Mop Review
In contrast to some robot vacuums this one isn't afraid of taking on the stairs. However, just like any mop and vacuum it could get blocked by debris, such as the stray tennis shoes ribbons, beads and play jewelry, yarn, or other stray objects.
The iRobot Home App allows you to label rooms and even create zones that are not allowed to enter. You can also monitor the performance of your mops as well as their battery levels.
iRobot Combo j7+
The Combo J7+ is part of iRobot's mop and robotic vacuum line-up and combines the robotic cleaner's smart mapping capabilities and its ability to handle spills. It uses the same acoustic sensor that is onboard and iAdapt 2.0 Navigation as the other Roomba models and maps your home seven times more quickly 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 that it must clean).
The j7's most important feature is its robotic arm, which keeps the mop pad hidden away when it's not in use, and then lowers it to clean carpets or hard floors. The idea is to not spray water on the rug, and the Combo J7+ did a good job of it during my tests. The robot stopped when it encountered the rug, and didn't attempt to get over it even though I moved the rug around several times.
The arm comes with a 240mL tank, that is easily removed and filled. This makes it more convenient to use as opposed to the mop pads that are found on other 2-in-1 robotic arms. It is equipped with iRobot PrevisionVision technology to avoid obstacles, which is more advanced than other systems of this type.
iRobot Combo i5
The machine is designed to be used for mopping and vacuuming in one machine it is a great option for those who are multitaskers.

The i5+ comes with dual multi-surface rubber brushes and Power-Lifting suction to tackle dirt and dust, pet hair, and staining. Simply replace the Mopping Bin with a compatible cleaning product and you're ready to mop.
The i5+ runs iRobot OS and is smarter as you use it. It will learn your floorplan, creating an Smart Map that remembers room names and your personal cleaning preferences. The iRobot App allows you to create a schedule or instruct the robot to clean a particular room.

It will then automatically stop and return to the docking station, giving it to recharge and complete the cleaning task at a later time. It also supports voice commands with Amazon Alexa, Apple Siri and Google Assistant, understanding around 600 voice commands, which is more than any other 2-in-1 robot.
iRobot Combo j5

It offers multiple mopping options such as the SmartScrub system to remove difficult stains. It is also able to establish No Mop Zones so carpets don't get swept up. The dock replenishes the mopping fluid on a regular basis. This model is more costly than the previous Roomba Combo J7+ but has more features.

iRobot Combo i3
The iRobot Combo i3 is an updated version of the Roomba i3. It still comes with a HEPA-filter to remove allergens, and 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 again. The i3 Plus still has a number of other great features too like its advanced cleaning system with 10x power-lifting suction and a three-stage process for cleaning. It has a textured finish to keep dust, pet hair and fingerprints from getting on.
It removes most dirt and is a great choice for carpets that are not bare, but it did have issues with pet hair when used on carpets with low pile. It does a fantastic job on carpets with a lot of pile and is much quieter than the other models. The i3 is a bit more expensive than the Roborock S4 Max but it comes with a self-emptying station which emptys the dirtbag, replenishes its water reservoir and cleans its mop pads.
With the i3 app, you can set up schedules to clean at a specific time to suit your requirements. You can also control your robot using your voice assistant to begin or stop cleaning. It also tracks your home's unique layout to give you a personalized cleaning routine and scheduling. It makes use of advanced mapping sensors to navigate carpet and hardwood floors, and learns how you clean to optimize performance.

The acoustic sensor of the robot allows this. The Combo i2 also offers powerful suction as well as an intelligent design. It can be controlled using the iRobot app with voice assistants, as well as an programmable schedule.
iRobot Combo i1
The Combo i1 is one of the few robot vacuums that also mop. When it senses the surface requires cleaning the robotic arm equipped with a cleaning pad raises the entire unit before swinging under it. You can also add cleaning solutions by pulling out a water tank and dustbin on the back. The robot uses a proprietary Bona cleaning solution, but it can be utilized with other brands.
The Combo i1 is unlike most robot vacuums in that it can reposition the mophead to the top of the robot when it spots carpet. This allows it to vacuum and then clean the carpet using its microfiber cloths and ensure that the surfaces are spotless. It comes with a set of sensors and navigation capabilities that help it avoid obstacles such as 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 an excellent choice for families who want the convenience of a single robot that is also able to be accessed by multiple cleaning modes. It can be controlled via an audio command using Alexa, Siri, or Google Assistant-enabled devices. It can be programmed to start and stop at specific times.
iRobot Combo i4
This iRobot robot vacuum and mop is perfect for those who want a clean and tidy home without lifting a finger. It's compatible with Alexa or Google Assistant so you can use voice commands to control it. Plus, it has smart mapping technology so you can set a schedule and the robot will take care of the task for you.
It comes with an docking station that has low profile and occupies only a tiny space. It also comes with a dirt compartment that can be cleaned at the touch of the button. However it's impossible to look inside the compartment as it's constructed of transparent plastic. The i4 is also lacking features like the AI-powered obstacle-avoidance and keep-out zones found on the j7 and the j7+.
However, it does have a powerful cleaning system and two rubber brushes that aren't stuck in pet hair. It's also a good choice for homes with carpets that are high-pile because it can handle the additional dirt and debris better than less powerful vacuums. The i4 requires less maintenance and has lower costs for recurring maintenance and can run longer in the lowest suction mode.
