iRobot Roomba Combo Review

iRobot Roomba combo adapts to your habits for cleaning and recommends programs that work for you. Smart mapping, automatic scheduling and Clean While I'm Away are just some of the thoughtfully curated features powered by iRobot OS.

The iRobot App lets you review images taken by the Combo j7+ to determine the areas it shouldn't be allowed to enter (such as lamp cords). You can also customize your map by drawing specific areas that the robot should avoid.

Vacuuming

The Combo Essential features a powerful 4-Stage Cleaner that vacuums and mop in one pass. This unit can reach places which are difficult to reach, such as underneath the couch. It makes use of smart navigation to clean in neat rows for wall-towall cleaning and to avoid falling down stairs, while sensors help navigate around furniture. And its Clean Base Auto-Fill Dock empties debris for up to 60 days, and refills liquid for auto-cleaning that is more durable than the competitors. It's also compatible with a wider range of cleaning products than any other 2-in-1.

The roomba combination is also a powerful mop, but it lacks some more sophisticated features that make Roomba J7+ an exceptional sweeper. It switches from sweeping to mopping when it detects an area that is damp. A small robot arm raises the water tank and dustbin combination, and a new pad slides into the cleaner when you press the button.

Its navigation was on par with the top iRobot robots that I've tested and it made decent progress even when the route wasn't entirely clear. It's not the best roomba vacuum cleaner in avoiding obstacles, but it's quick to recognize and avoid larger objects such as toys and socks.

The app allows you to customize your schedule. You can design a specific cleaning path and also create Keep Out Zones (or Clean Zones) that guide the robot in the right direction. It also shows a summary of its actions and its health status. It can also be paired with Alexa, Siri or Google Assistant enabled devices for voice control. Intelligent platform from iRobot also automatically updates the Combo's software and adds new capabilities and features in real time.

Mopping

Roomba Combo j7+ robotic vacuum and mop offers a powerful hands-free clean with its unique 2-in-1 capabilities. It's the best choice for dust and dirt picking up on hard and carpet floors thanks to its three levels of suction power as well as an automatic carpet Boost. SmartScrub is the most effective mopping solution.

The iRobot Roomba combo vacuums and mops on your schedule, at the time you want, where you'd like, without any manual intervention. To begin cleaning, just hit the button on your irobot floor cleaner Home app or say "Hey Google,""Hey Alexa," or "Ok Google."

It uses Imprint Smart Mapping to learn your floorplan and allow you to tell it to mop the areas you prefer, at any time you'd like. You can also instruct your robot which areas to wash or avoid using customizable Keep Out Zones. iRobot OS automatically updates, to ensure that your robot is always up to current and ready for any new challenge.

The powerful 4-Stage Cleaning System removes dirt and debris in the shortest amount of time achievable with the strongest motors available on any 2-in-1 Robotic vacuum with mapping. Advanced navigation and two cleaning passes ensure that there is no space left.

When it's time to mop your floor your robot automatically switches to MOP mode. It then uses its specially-designed Microfiber Pad to take on wet messes like pet footprints, smudges and spills. SmartScrub is powered by iRobot OS is able to apply consistent pressure and deeper scrubbing** to tackle difficult dirt. It also learns based on previous cleaning tasks. It focuses on rooms that are more dirty, and adjusts settings like suction and scrubbing power. The Clean Base auto-empties debris and replenishes the tank for 30 days of hands-free clean, and it's compatible with all compatible cleaning products.

Object Detection

iRobot robots can detect and avoid obstacles like tables, couches, stairs chairs, as well as pet toys. They also keep out other household clutter. They also employ sensors to recognize carpets and rugs. They then adjust their cleaning settings accordingly to avoid wet messes. They have an automatic sensor that informs them when to stop cleaning and to resurface.

With Smart Mapping, Roomba maps your home 7x faster, labels rooms so that you can start cleaning earlier and can be customized to keep Out Zones and Clean Zones. The app or voice commands paired with Alexa, Siri or Google Assistant let you guide Roomba to specific rooms and areas.

Roomba can detect and avoid more than 80 common objects, including backpacks and power cords. It also knows how to stay clear of toilet bowls and litter boxes and pets' toys. The iRobot Combo J7+ can also identify and keep clear of solid pet waste using Precision Vision Navigation.

With the irobot self empty base OS you can see the history of your robot's cleaning, including maps and image data. You can even choose the Dirt Detective feature, which prioritizes the cleaning of the rooms with the most dirtiest conditions first. You can also see an estimated time frame so you know when your robot will be home. And iRobot OS makes thoughtful suggestions for extra cleaning schedules, such as those in the time of pet sheds that are that are sent directly to your mobile device. You must be comfortable with the idea of giving up personal details to any smart home device which manages and stores your space's data. In our tests, each company whose product we review was asked about the safeguards for sensitive data. iRobot claims that it doesn't sell customer information and has laid out its Privacy Principles on the website.

Navigation

The Roomba Combo makes use of Imprint Smart Mapping to map and understand your floorplan. It will then map it again as needed. You can map a room, and then set your cleaning preferences through the iRobot App. The Roomba will then clean the area automatically when it comes to future missions. Roomba offers Dirt Detective which automatically prioritizes your most soiled areas for most frequent vacuuming or mopping.
