iRobot Roomba Combo Review

iRobot Roomba combo adapts to your cleaning habits and suggests programs that will work for you. Smart mapping, automatic schedules, and Clean While I Am Away are just a few of the carefully curated iRobot OS features.

The iRobot app allows you to review images of objects that the Combo j7+ captures to understand which areas it should avoid (lamp cords, for example). You can also customize the map by drawing specific zones the robot must stay away from.

Vacuuming

The Combo Essential features a powerful 4-Stage Cleaner that vacuums and mops in one step. This system can reach places that are difficult to reach, such as under the couch. It uses smart navigation to clean in neat rows for wall-to-wall cleaning as well as to ensure that you don't fall down the stairs, while sensors aid navigate around furniture. Clean Base Auto-Fill Docks empty debris for up to 60 days, and refill liquid for autonomous cleaning. It's also compatible with more cleaning solutions than any other 2-in-1.

The Roomba combo is a powerful mop, but it lacks the advanced features that make the Roomba j7+ an outstanding sweeper. It shifts from sweeping to mopping when it detects the presence of a damp surface. A small robot arm raises the tiny combo water tank/dustbin, and when you hit a button on the side of the cleaner, a new pad slides in and is ready to go.

Its navigation was on par with the top iRobot Robot Vacuums: Effortless Cleaning for Any Home robots that I've tested and it made decent progress even when the path wasn't entirely clear. It's not the best in avoiding obstacles, but it was able to identify and find a way around larger objects such as socks and toys that could get in its way.

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 direct the robot in the proper direction. It also provides a summary of its actions and health status. You can even pair it with your Alexa, Siri, or Google Assistant-enabled devices for voice control. iRobot’s smart platform automatically updates the software of Combo by adding new features and capabilities.

Mopping

Roomba Combo J7+ robot vacuum and mop offers a thorough hands-free cleaning experience with its unique 2-in-1 features. It's #1 for dust and dirt picking up on hard and carpet floors, with three levels of suction power and automatic carpet Boost. SmartScrub is the most effective mopping solution.

The iRobot Roomba combo vacuums and mops on your schedule, whenever you want, wherever you'd like, with no any manual intervention. Simply press the button on your iRobot Home App or say "Hey Google," "Hey Alexa" or "Ok Google" to start cleaning.

It uses Imprint Smart Mapping to learn your floorplan, and allows you to direct it to mop the rooms you want, at any time you'd like. Plus, customizable Keep Out Zones and Clean Zones let you tell your robot precisely what areas to stay clear of or clean. iRobot OS automatically updates, so that your robot is always up-to the latest version and ready to tackle any new challenge.

The powerful 4-Stage Clean System vacuums dirt and debris with the most powerful motors of any 2-in-1 robot. Advanced navigation and two cleaning passes ensure no spot is left behind.

When it comes time to mop your floor the robot automatically switches to MOP mode. It then deploys its specialized Microfiber Pad to tackle wet messes like pet footprints, smudges and spills. SmartScrub, powered by iRobot OS uses constant pressure and more intense scrubs** to take on tough dirt. It also learns from previous cleaning efforts, prioritizing more dirty rooms and changing settings like suction and scrubbing intensity. The Clean Base automatically empties the tank and then refills it for 30 days of hands-free cleaning. It's compatible with numerous cleaning products.

Object Detection

iRobot robots can recognize and avoid obstacles like stairs, sofas or tables chairs and pet toys. They also keep out other household clutter. They also make use of sensors to recognize carpets and rugs. They then adjust their cleaning settings in response to the recognition, helping to prevent wet mess. They also have an automatic dirt sensor which tells the robot when to stop and resurface for additional cleaning.

Smart Mapping allows Roomba to map your home seven times faster assign rooms to ensure that you can start cleaning more quickly and also to customize Keep Out Zones and Cleaning Zones. The app or voice commands paired with Alexa, Siri or Google Assistant will guide Roomba to specific rooms and areas.

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

With iRobot OS, you can view the history of cleaning your robot, including maps and image data. You can select the Dirt Detective option to prioritize cleaning the most soiled areas first. You can also look up an estimate of the time to know the length of time your robot will stay at home. Additionally, iRobot OS makes thoughtful suggestions like additional cleaning schedules during the pet shed season and is sent directly to your mobile device. Of course when you use any smart home device that collects and manages data on your home, you need to be comfortable with the idea of giving away personal information. In our tests, every company we tested was asked about the safeguards for sensitive data. iRobot declares that it doesn't sell customer information, and also outlines the Privacy Principles of its website.

Navigation

The Roomba Combo utilizes Imprint Smart Mapping to map and learn your floorplan. It then can map it again as needed. Once a room has been marked and cleaned, you can set the cleaning preferences for that specific area using the iRobot Home App and it will then automatically clean that area during subsequent missions. Roomba also comes with Dirt Detective, which automatically prioritises your dirtiest rooms for the most frequent cleaning or mopping. PrecisionVision Navigation allows it to keep away from objects like charging cables shoes, socks and cables. This feature will save you time when you're trying to accomplish the task.

Battery Life

The Combo J7+ is powered by an lithium-ion battery that is powerful enough to clean your home. The water tank and dust bins can hold 200 and 400 ml respectively. It also comes with a high-efficiency filtering system that removes dirt particles and prevents them from resurfacing. It also has iRobot's app and voice assistants, making it easier to control it with your smartphone or other devices.

Another feature that is great is its capability to snap pictures of objects, which help the Combo j7+ to avoid those objects on future cleaning runs. However, iRobot chose not to include automatic mop pad washing, which is something we've seen more high-end robotic cleaners recently. This is a minor issue however it would be nice to have this feature included on the Combo J7+. The Combo J7+ comes with a great warranty and is easy to use.
