7 Essential Tips For Making The Most Out Of Your Irobot Vacuum

iRobot Vacuum and Mop Review

The robot vacuum isn’t afraid to tackle the stairs, unlike others. Like any mop or vacuum it is susceptible to clogging by debris, such as tennis shoes, thread, jewelry or other loose objects.

You can use the iRobot Home app to label rooms and set up zones that are not allowed to enter. You can also track the performance of your mops as well as their battery status.

iRobot Combo j7+

The Combo J7+ is part of iRobot’s mop and robotic vacuum line-up and combines the robotic cleaner’s smart mapping capabilities and the ability to deal with spills. It uses the same onboard acoustic sensors and iAdapt 2.0 navigation that is used by other Roomba options and maps your home seven times faster than previous models. It also lets you set Keep Out Zones (for rooms that the robot is not allowed to enter) and Clean Zones (for rooms it must clean).

The most notable feature of the j7 is its Robotic Hoovers arm which keeps the mop pad hidden away when it’s not in use, and then lowers it to clean carpets or hard floors. In my tests, the Combo J7+ did a good job in avoiding spraying water on the rug. The robot backed away 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 is equipped with a 240mL tank, that is easily removed and filled. This makes it easier to use than the mop pads found on many other 2-in-1 robotic arm. It also uses the iRobot’s PrevisionVision obstacle avoidance technology, which is more advanced than some systems of this type.
