The best robot vacuum mops of 2023: Expert tested and reviewed

Roomba Combo j7+ specs: Battery life: 110 minutes | Wi-Fi: Yes | Dimensions: 1.3 x 3.4 x 13.34 inches

If your home has rugs, carpet, tile, laminate, or hardwood, the Roomba Combo j7+ is the two-in-one machine for you thanks to its retractable mop head. You never have to worry about a dirty mop head being drug across your favorite rug because the Combo j7+ literally lifts the entire mop head on top of the robot when it needs to clean your soft flooring surfaces.

With iRobot OS Technology and PrecisionVision Navigation, the Roomba Combo j7+ knows to avoid things like furniture and electric cords. Plus, with its Pet Owner Official Promise (P.O.O.P.), it is guaranteed to avoid pet waste, or the company will send you a new one free. It’s self-emptying for up to 60 days, and, my favorite feature of all, it knows when the dust bin is full, even in the middle of a job. I can set the Combo j7+ to vacuum my entire house and it’ll empty as many times as it needs to in order to successfully complete the job. This is a stand-out feature iRobot has mastered, and makes cleaning up after my two dogs and cat a breeze.

Review: Roomba Combo J7+

The machine’s PrecisionVision Navigation is part of the technology behind the retractable mop head arms. When the Combo j7+ encounters a rug or carpet, it lifts the head up and strictly vacuums. This ensures that there isn’t an ounce of water getting on your carpets. Then, when it’s time to go back to vacuuming and mopping, the retractable mop head lowers and gets right back to work. The technology is truly impressive.
