The robotic arm is the main feature of the j7. It keeps the mop pad in place when not in use, and lowers it when carpeting or hard flooring. In my tests, the Combo J7+ did a great job at avoiding spraying water onto the rug. The robot backed away when it saw a rug and didn't try to get over it even although I moved the rug several times.

The arm has a 240mL tank which can be easily popped out and filled, making it more manageable than mop pads on other 2-in-1 robots that vacuum and mop. It utilizes iRobot PrevisionVision obstacle-avoidance technology that is more advanced than other systems of this type.
