iRobot Roomba Vacuum Mop Review

A mop and vacuum robot is useful for picking up drink splatters and fine dust that the vacuum or broom might overlook. This new model from iRobot is an excellent choice with a self-emptying dock and smart cleaning features.

It knows to avoid cords, backpacks, socks, pet toys, kitty litter boxes and other items that could get caught in the tangle. It also knows which areas require extra cleaning passes.

Controls

This is a great solution for anyone looking for an easy, hands-free clean. It can be used to clean floors or even as mopping. There are different levels of suction power as well as three options for cleaning water flow, allowing you to choose the best setting for your flooring.

You can set up timers and no-mop areas in your rooms. It allows you to control your robot from anywhere and provides useful features, such as the ability to see where the mop is located at an instant. This is especially helpful when you have to clean the area in a hurry. The app allows you to modify the robot's performance. This includes the amount of suction power as well as mopping.

iRobot's advanced mapping technology automatically segments your home and labels it and SmartScrub guarantees a thorough cleaning for all kinds of floors. Plus, Dirt detective helps you avoid cleaning carpets, ensuring they'll look cleaner for longer. A high-efficiency bin, and automatic Carpet Boost, assist you in getting a better clean.

When it's time to mop then fill the Combo Bin with water or a compatible cleaning solution2 and your Roomba Combo j7/j7+ robot instantly transforms into a vacuum and mop combination cleaner. The microfiber pad is designed to remove dirt, dust and footprints. Clean Base also automatically empties debris and replenishes itself.

A combination robot will work best if your house has a lot of hard flooring. It is important, however, to choose one that can handle carpets if you have a lot of. The Roomba 650, with its Dual Multi-Surface Rubber Brushes and powerful lift-and-drag vacuum, is a great option. The iRobot Braava Jet 240 uses a special nozzle for thick carpets. It also has an edge-sweeping brush that keeps it from getting caught up with rug fibers. Similarly, its mopping system utilizes a low-speed pump as well as microfiber pads to provide a thorough clean, without leaving streaks.

The Performance of a

The Combo J9+ is a solid performance, but it is also easy to use. The app allows you to access advanced settings, such as the surface-detection feature that automatically ramps up suction power as the robot goes from carpeting to hard flooring. You can also set up a cleaning schedule in the app. You can also set the robot to self-empty this is a feature that all of the best robot mops are now using to prevent you from having to clean messy mopping pads after every run.

The Combo J9+ comes with high-end features that make it among the best roomba vacuum robot mops available. It can map your home using Imprint Smart Mapping which is 7x faster than the previous iRobot technology. It can also store multiple maps that allow you to control the robot according to a set schedule or in the present. You can also design virtual "Keep Out Zones" to ensure that the robot only cleans the rooms you would like to.

If you'd rather skip the mapping and just instruct your robot to clean a particular room, you can pair the Combo j9+ to Alexa, Siri, or Google Assistant-enabled devices to start a directed cleaning job with your voice. The robot is also compatible with the iRobot Home app, where you can create an Smart Map and label your rooms to get started.

The Combo J9+ is among of the most efficient mops for getting rid of dirt and stains from sealed bare floors, because of its SmartScrub technology. The proprietary Dirt Detective technology and Carpet Boost help it clean carpets effectively. It's more difficult to maneuver around carpets in comparison to other robot vacuum-mop combinations we have evaluated. It is also necessary to wash the mopping pad by hand after each run, since the docking station doesn't automatically do so. It's not a major issue however it's something to keep in mind when considering your choices.

App

With a robot mop, you can keep your floors in a relatively constant state of unsticky cleanliness without the need to scrub or vacuum frequently as you would with a traditional mop. This is particularly helpful in areas that are heavily used, such as bathrooms, kitchens and mudrooms as well as entryways. In the end, however you'll need to pull out traditional rags or a Swiffer WetJet time to when to scrub the most difficult places.

The iRobot App allows you to create cleaning zones and alter map settings to allow the robot to be directed where it is most needed. You can also personalize iRobot OS with Dirt Detective that learns from mapping data, cleaning mission history and user inputs to provide cleaning insights and options to automatically prioritize rooms that are more soiled, or to adjust the settings for each room, including cleaning, suction and mopping passes.

The iRobot app is easy to use and offers the ability to control what, when and how the Robot Vacuum Mops cleans. It allows you to save and access your favourite cleaning routines and gives you personalized suggestions that are tailored to your lifestyle. You can also create No Mop Zones and other zones to tell the robot to stay clear of cleaning, as well as alter settings for specific messes such as food spills hair, pet hair or dirty dishes.

Another handy feature of the app is the capability to create cleaning schedules in advance and to stop the robot if you need to run out for groceries or pick up your kids from school. You can also set a timer that will notify you when it's time for the robot to clean.

Bins can be empty manually, refilled or automated to empty themselves over up to 60 day. It also works with a wider range of cleaning solutions than any 2-in-1. Alternately, you can change the bin to the all-floors Combo Bin and convert it into a robotic vacuum that can vacuum and mop hard floors with a single touch.

The Right to Rent

This iRobot Roomba i7: Smart Mapping Robot Vacuum combination model could be the best option for you if want a robot vacuum that also mop. It's basically a J7 with an AllergenLock Bag that stores dirt until it's empty, and a larger tank of water for mopping. It's not quite as expensive as other combinations of robot vacuum and mop we've tested, but it's still an investment worth it.

It is programmed with iRobot OS to automatically empty the AllergenLock bag every 60 days. It also has a large, self-cleaning dock that's easier to clean than most. The base comes with an additional drawer that houses dust bins, filters, and other accessories. You can also set the Combo j7+ to clean specific rooms and tell it the amount of cleaning liquid to use. It is also programmed to do additional cleaning in areas with a lot of traffic.

The mop is raised and then lowered by the same robotic arm as on any other Roomba but it won't deploy if the robot senses that it is on a rug or hard floor surface. This keeps it from accidentally scrubbing the floor with a wet pad, and ruining your floors. It can be programmed to only clean certain surfaces like wood, laminate or sealed stone tiles.

This model will mop for approximately 111 minutes before running low on battery and returning to its dock for recharge. It is very effective at collecting pet hair and dust from tiles, hardwoods and area rugs. It can also traverse transition strips between flooring surfaces and vacuums carpets from wall to wall without losing track of the edge of a room.

In vacuum mode, Combo j7+ uses three suction settings and a brush roller to remove pet hair and other debris. It can be programmed to vacuum certain rooms and features a quiet drive that blocks its most loud motors from running until it reaches the area it's cleaning. This was among our quietest robot vacuums. It didn't have the ability to wash its mop pads automatically this is something we're seeing more high-end robots do these days.
