Speak "Yes" To These 5 Irobot Vacuum Tips
iRobot Vacuum and Mop Review
The robot vacuum isn't too scared to climb the stairs, unlike others. But, just like any mop and vacuum, it can get clogged by the stray tennis shoes or ribbons and yarn, play jewelry or other stray objects.
The iRobot Home App allows you to label rooms, and even create zones that are not allowed to enter. It also lets you monitor the progress of your mops as well as battery condition.
iRobot Combo j7+
The Combo j7+ is a robot vacuum and mop that combines smart mapping capabilities of iRobot along with the ability to handle spills. It uses the same onboard acoustic sensor and iAdapt 2.0 Navigation as the other Roomba models and maps your home seven times faster than previous versions. It also lets you set Keep Out Zones and Clean Zones to inform the robot which areas it should avoid and when to clean them.
The most significant feature of the j7 is its robotic arm, which keeps the mop pad tucked away when not in use and allows it to clean carpets or hard floors. In my testing it, the Combo J7+ did a good job at avoiding spraying water onto the rug. The robot stopped when it came across the rug, and didn't attempt to go over it, even although I moved the rug around a few times.
The arm has a 240mL tank that can be easily removed and filled, making it simpler to operate than mop pads on other 2-in-1 robots. It also uses the iRobot's PrevisionVision technology to avoid obstacles, which is more advanced than other models of this kind.
iRobot Combo i5
Designed for mopping and vacuuming with one machine, this is a top option for those who are multitaskers. The mopping is accomplished with a specially designed bin that can accommodate up to 60 days worth of debris. According to iRobot it reduces the amount of dust released into the air. The i5+ comes with dual multi-surface rubber brushes and Power-Lifting suction to take care of dirt and dust hair, pet hair, and staining. Simply swap the Mopping Bin with a compatible cleaning product and you're set to mop.
The i5+ uses iRobot OS which means it becomes smarter as you use it. It creates a Smart Map, which remembers the names of rooms and your cleaning preferences. The iRobot App lets you create a schedule, or tell the robot to clean a certain room.
iRobot has built in the ability to detect household clutter, including cords, shoes, toys and bags. It will then stop automatically and return to dock for a recharge and complete the cleaning job at a later point. It is compatible with voice commands like Amazon Alexa and Apple Siri, and understands approximately 600 voice commands. This is more than any other 2-in-1 robot.
iRobot Combo j5

iRobot Combo i3
The iRobot Combo i3 is an updated version of the original Roomba i3. It comes with the same external dirt compartment and a HEPA filter to trap allergens, but now it also supports smart mapping. This means you can create no-go zones to prevent it from sweeping those areas again. The i3 Plus still has a bunch of other excellent features, including its advanced cleaning system with 10x power-lifting suction and a three-stage process for cleaning. It also has a textured surface that helps ward off dust, fingerprints and hair of pets.
It is able to clean most debris and is great on unfinished flooring, but did experience trouble with pet hair when used on carpets with low pile. It is quieter and does an excellent job on carpets with high pile. The i3 is a little more expensive than the Roborock S4 Max but it comes with a self-emptying system that emptys the dirtbag, fills its water reservoir, and cleans its mop pads.
shark self emptying robot vacuum can create cleaning schedules using the i3 App. You can also control your robot using your voice assistant to start or stop cleaning. It also tracks your home's unique floor layout to offer personalized scheduling and cleaning habits. It uses state-of-the-art mapping sensors to navigate hardwood and carpet and learns about your habits to optimize performance.

The Combo i1 is one of the only robot vacuums that also mop. When it senses a surface that needs to be cleaned, a robotic arm with a cleaning pad lifts the entire unit and then swings under it. You can add cleaning solution by pulling out a combined dustbin and water tank on the back. The robot utilizes a specific Bona cleaning solution, but it can be utilized with other brands.
Unlike most robot vacuums, the Combo i1 can retract its mophead completely to the top of the robot when it detects carpet. It can vacuum the carpet before wiping it clean with its microfiber cloths. This ensures that all surfaces are spotless. It has a full suite of sensors and a dazzling navigation system to avoid obstacles like furniture and cords.

This iRobot robot vacuum and mop is perfect for those who want a clean home without having to lift a hand. It's compatible with Alexa or Google Assistant so you can use voice commands to control it. It also comes with smart mapping technology, so you can create a schedule for the robot to follow.

It does however have an effective cleaning system and a set of rubber brushes that don't get stuck in pet hair. It's a great option for homes that have high-pile carpets because it can handle more dirt and debris than less powerful vacuums. The i4 also requires less maintenance, has lower recurring costs and is more efficient in the lowest suction mode.
