TLDR Review: iRobot Roomba Combo j7+
Score
The iRobot Roomba Combo j7+ earns a high score due to its advanced features like efficient obstacle avoidance and a dual vacuuming and mopping function that performs well, particularly on hardwood floors and pet hair. However, users have noted frustrations with the mopping capabilities, inconsistent navigation, and customer service issues, which detracts from its value given its premium price point. Overall, it's a strong contender in the robotic cleaning market, especially for pet owners, but not without its drawbacks.
Pros
- •Excellent navigation and persistent mapping for efficient cleaning
- •Works well in dimly lit conditions (with initial training runs)
- •Rarely requires manual intervention, runs multiple times a day smoothly
- •Rubber brush rollers are superior for pet hair and agitating carpet
- •Support for future software updates like Keep Out Zones
- •Not necessary to empty the bin frequently due to the dirt disposal system
- •Responsive and custom cleaning via Alexa integration
- •Suction power is strong, comparable to or better than other brands tested
Cons
- •Not capable of operating in complete darkness without smart lights
- •Shorter battery life compared to some competitors, requiring strategic scheduling
Bottom Line
The iRobot® Roomba Combo™ j7+ is a versatile and advanced robot vacuum and mop that excels in homes with pets, thanks to its superior rubber brush rollers and strong suction power. It efficiently maps and navigates your home, requiring minimal manual intervention. However, it struggles in complete darkness and has a shorter battery life compared to some competitors. If you're looking for convenience and efficiency in one device and can keep it charged regularly, this could be a great addition to your home.
