It provides cleaning-related insights and options to automatically prioritize dirtier rooms or alter settings for each room, like suctioning, scrubbing, or mopping.

The Right to Rent

This iRobot Roomba S9+ Robot Vacuum: Ultimate Cleaning Companion combination model could be the best option if you are looking for a robot vacuum that also mop. It's basically a J7 robot with the addition of an AllergenLock bag that holds dirt until you empty it, and a larger water tank for mopping. It's not as expensive as other robot vacuum-mop combos we've tested, but it's nevertheless a significant investment.

It can be programmed through iRobot OS to automatically empty the AllergenLock bag every 60 days. It also has a large self-cleaning dock that's simpler to clean than most. A drawer on the bottom is a storage space for dust bins, filters and other items. The Combo j7+ can also be set to clean specific rooms and you can tell it how much liquid to use in each room. It is even able to make extra cleaning passes in areas with high traffic.

The mop can be raised or it is lowered using the same robotic arms as any other Roomba. However it will not be able to deploy if it detects it is placed on the floor. This prevents it from accidentally scratching your floor with a damp pad, and damaging the flooring. It is also possible to program it to only mop certain types of surfaces, such as sealed stone tiles, wood or laminate.

This model mops for about 111 minutes before running low on battery and returning to its dock to recharge. It is extremely efficient in collecting dust and pet hair from tile, hardwood and area rugs. It also can move between flooring surfaces and easily vacuums wall-to-wall carpeting, without losing track of the edges of the room.

In vacuum mode, Combo j7+ uses three suction settings and a brush roller to remove debris and pet hair. It can be programmed to vacuum certain rooms and has a quiet drive that blocks its most loud motors from running until it is in the room it is cleaning. This was one of the quietest robot vacuums that we tested. It didn't have the ability to wash its mop pads automatically as we've seen more premium robots do these days.
