iRobot Roomba Combo Review
iRobot Roomba combo adapts to your cleaning habits and suggests programs that will work for you. Smart mapping, automatic scheduling, and Clean While I Am Away are just a few of the carefully curated iRobot OS features.
The iRobot app lets you look over images of objects that the Combo J7+ takes to understand which areas it should avoid (lamp cords, for instance). You can also customize your map by drawing specific areas the robot must avoid.
Vacuuming
The Combo Essential features a powerful 4-Stage Cleaner that vacuums and mops in one move. This unit can reach places that are hard to reach, such as underneath the couch. It uses intelligent navigation to clean from wall to wall and to prevent falling on the stairs. Sensors aid in navigation through furniture. Clean Base Auto-Fill Docks empty debris for up 60 days, and refills liquid to allow for self-cleaning. It’s also compatible with a wider range of cleaning products than any other 2-in-1.
The roomba-based combination is an effective mop, however it lacks some more advanced features that make Roomba j7+ an outstanding sweeper. It changes from mopping to sweeping when it senses an area that is damp. A small robot arm raises the tiny combo water tank/dustbin. Then, when you press the button on the side of the cleaner the new pad slides in and is ready to go.
Its navigation was up to par with the best iRobot robots that I’ve tested and it was able to make good progress even when the route wasn’t entirely clear. It’s not the best at avoiding obstacles, but it was fairly quick to recognize and find a way around larger objects such as socks and toys that get in its way.
The app lets you customize your schedule, design a specific cleaning route, and create Keep Out Zones or Clean Zones to direct the robot in the direction it is supposed to go. It also displays a summary of what it has accomplished and its health state. It can also be paired with your Alexa, Siri, or Google Assistant-enabled devices for voice control. The smart platform of iRobot automatically updates the Combo’s software, and adds new features and capabilities in real-time.

Additionally, you can customize Keep Out Zones and Clean Zones let you instruct your robot precisely which areas to avoid or clean. iRobot OS automatically updates, to ensure that your robot is always up-to date and ready to tackle any new challenge.
The powerful 4-Stage Cleaning System removes dirt and debris in the shortest time possible using the most powerful motors on any 2-in-1 robot. Advanced navigation and two cleaning passes ensure that walls are clean surface, with no traces left to be left.
When it’s time to clean your robot switches to MOP mode and deploys its specially designed microfiber pad to clean up wet messes on hard floors like pet footprints, smudges and spills. SmartScrub is powered by iRobot OS, applies consistent pressure and deeper scrubs** to get rid of tough messes. It also learns based on previous cleaning missions. It focuses on rooms that are more dirty and adjusts settings like suction and scrubbing intensities. The Clean Base auto-empties debris and replenishes the tank for 30 days of hands-free revolutionize cleaning with irobot roomba s9+: smart Mapping power self-Emptying and it’s compatible with the majority of compatible cleaning products.
Object Detection
iRobot robots are able to detect 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 detect carpets and rugs. Then, they adjust their cleaning settings in response to the recognition, assisting to prevent wet mess. They also have an automatic dirt sensor that informs the robot when it is time to stop and resurface for further cleaning.
With Smart Mapping, Roomba maps your home 7x faster, names rooms to begin targeted cleaning faster and also customizes Keep Out Zones and Clean Zones. You can direct your robot with voice commands or the app when used in conjunction with Alexa Siri or Google Assistant.
Roomba is able to detect and avoid more than 80 common objects like shoes, power cords socks, backpacks, pets’ toys toilet bowls, cat litter boxes, and other floor dangers. The iRobot Combo J7+ is also able to detect and keep clear of solid pet waste using Precision Vision Navigation.
With the iRobot OS you can look at the history of your robot’s cleaning, including maps and image data. You can even choose the Dirt Detective feature, which prioritizes cleaning the dirtiest rooms first. You can also see an estimate of the time frame to determine how long the robot will be at your home. Also, iRobot OS makes thoughtful suggestions, like extra cleaning schedules during pet shed season, that are sent directly to your mobile device. Of course, with any smart home device that collects and manages data on your home, you need to be at ease with sharing personal information. In our tests, we’ve asked each company whose products that we examine about security measures for this sensitive data. iRobot states that it does NOT sell customer data, and outlines the Privacy Principles on its website.
Navigation
The Roomba Combo makes use of Imprint Smart Mapping technology to learn and map your floorplan, and then re-maps it if needed. Once a room has been marked, you can set cleaning preferences for that particular space from the iRobot Home App and it will automatically clean that space during future 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 is a fantastic feature that could save you time when you’re trying to get a particular job done.
Battery Life
The Combo J7+ is powered by a lithium-ion battery, which is powerful enough to help you clean your home. Its dust bin and water tank can hold 200 and 400 milliliters, respectively. The robot is equipped with a high-efficiency filter system to capture dirt particles and stop them from returning to your floors. It is compatible with the iRobot app and voice assistants, so you can control it via your smartphone or other devices.
Another great feature is its capability to snap pictures of objects, which help the Combo J7+ avoid these objects in future cleaning runs. However, iRobot chose not to include automatic mop pad washing which we’ve seen many expensive robotic cleaners add recently. This is a minor gripe, but it would’ve been nice to have this feature on the Combo j7+. The Combo J7+ comes with a great warranty and is easy to use.
