iRobot Vacuum and Mop Review
This vacuum isn't too scared to climb the stairs, unlike some other models. However, just like any mop and vacuum, it can get clogged by debris such as loose tennis shoes or ribbons and yarn, play jewelry or other stray objects.
You can make use of the iRobot Home app to label rooms and establish zones that are not allowed to enter. It also lets you track your mops's progress and the status of its battery.
iRobot Combo j7+
The Combo J7+ is a part of the robot vacuum and mop lineup and combines the robotic cleaner's smart mapping capabilities along with 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 7 times faster than earlier models. It also allows you to create Keep out Zones (for rooms that the robot is not allowed to enter) and Clean Zones (for rooms that it should keep clean).
The robotic arm is the most significant feature of the j7. It keeps the mop pad hidden when not in use and lowers it when carpeting or hard flooring. In my testing it, the Combo J7+ did a good job at avoiding water spraying on the rug. The robot backed off when it came across an area rug and did not attempt to cross it, even although I moved the rug several times.
The arm is equipped with a 240mL tank that is easily removed and filled. This makes it more convenient to use than the mop pads found on other 2-in-1 robotic arms. It is equipped with iRobot PrevisionVision obstacle-avoidance technology which is more advanced than other systems of this type.

It will then automatically stop and return to the docking station, giving it to recharge and complete the cleaning task later. It is also compatible with voice commands such as Amazon Alexa, Apple Siri and Google Assistant, understanding around 600 voice commands - more than any other 2-in-1 robot.
