But the iRobot Combo j7 has an advanced mapping and navigation system that makes it an excellent option for most homes.

The smart 2-in-1 is equipped to take on different messes and it uses an auto-retract system that prevents carpet mess. Plus it has an uncluttered base that drains dirt and refills cleaning solution on its own, much faster than competitors.

The iRobot J7/J7+ is a robotic vacuum that also doubles as a mop, which means it can handle your entire cleaning routine. In our tests, it was successful in cleaning, accumulating 9.35 grams per run, which is a bit better than a typical full-sized robot. It's compatible with Alexa or Google Assistant and lets you control the mop and vacuum with your voice, rather than using an app.

It has a smart design with a compact footprint and a neat base. The mop comes with a tiny reservoir of water as well as an arm with a robotic design that raises and lowers the mop. A sensor on the bottom will let you know when the mop is running low. The robot can navigate smoothly and move around your home without hitting obstacles. It has issues with certain kinds of carpet, however and could cease to function if it senses that there's carpeting in its route.

iRobot's own vSlam navigation system isn't as accurate as the other robot vacuums we've test. In our tests the robot moved around randomly before creating maps. This wasn't a problem in the real world, but it was a problem when trying to create an exact cleaning route.

Another cool feature is iRobot's ability to identify objects in its path. It makes use of a camera and PrecisionVision to detect things like cords, shoes and toys, as well as pet waste to avoid them or go around them when mopping. This was very effective in our tests and we were awestruck by the amount of pet waste it stayed clear of which is a huge deal.

When the iRobot completes its vacuuming or mopping, it goes back to its dock, and empty its dirt compartment into an internal trash bag that iRobot says won't need changing for a long time. The iRobot then returns its dock and begins the job it was doing before returning. We did have some issues with the iRobot's bin-full sensors however, which could cause it to return to its dock even if the bin isn't full.

Smart Navigation

iRobot has been in the robot business for over 30 years and has brought us FDA-approved remote presence robots used in hospitals, developed practical home robots such as Roomba and helped pave the way for the first combo mop and vacuum robot. The iRobot Combo j7+ is an iRobot robot that is based on the Roomba V7 and includes a movable arm to lift and lower a water tank as well as mopping mat. It can mop or vacuum at the same time, or run an entirely separate vacuuming session.

The iRobot app lets you label rooms and create cleaning zones to inform the robot of what areas it should focus on and which areas it should ignore. It also allows you to automatically create and save multiple floorplan maps that help you better comprehend the structure of your home. iRobot robots can avoid common objects like toys, charging cables and pet waste by using the Imprint Smart Mapping function. It also recognizes rugs and avoids them if you've made a rug zone.

It doesn't come with the LIDAR system (Light Detection and Ranging) that many other vacuums and mops utilize, but the iRobot VSlam technology remains extremely accurate for a machine that relies on optical sensors and cameras to build its map. It can clean up dried milk and other spills too small for most vacuum cleaners and pick up dust that is missed by the finer brushes of the majority of robot vacuums.

Although it's not able to get the job done as thoroughly as a dedicated mopping machine however, it is pretty close. You can also start an entire cleaning session at any time using the app, and it will continue exactly where it began.

The Combo j7+ is easy to refill and use, unlike other robots that struggle to keep their water tanks filled. The combination vacuum and mop comes with a small dust bin and water tank that can be clipped off the back of the base. It can hold a few of Bona or their own cleaning solutions and is filled from a tap at the bottom. You can set it up to alert you automatically when the bot runs out of water.
