iRobot Vacuum and Mop ReviewThis robot vacuum is not afraid to tackle the stairs, unlike other models. However, like any mop and vacuum it is prone to getting blocked by the stray tennis shoes or ribbons or play jewelry, yarn, or other objects that are loose.The iRobot Home App allows you to label rooms and create no-go zones. It also lets you keep track of the progress of your mops and their battery condition.iRobot Combo j7+The Combo J7+ is part of the iRobot robot vacuum and mop lineup and combines the robotic cleaner's smart mapping capabilities with the ability to deal with spills.

It also lets you set Keep Out Zones and Clean Zones to tell the robot which areas it should avoid and when to clean them.The j7's most important feature is its robotic arm, which keeps the mop pad locked away when not in use, and then lowers it to clean carpets or hard floors. In my testing, the Combo J7+ was successful at avoiding water spraying on the rug. The robot was not able to cross the rug, even after I moved it around many times.The arm is equipped with a 240mL tank which is easy to remove and filled. This makes it easier to use as opposed to the mop pads that are found on many other 2-in-1 robotic arm.
