iRobot Roomba Combo j5+ Self-Emptying Robot Vacuum & Mop
The Roomba Combo j5+ is a robot vacuum and mop that self-empties its dirt. It can clean floors and carpets. The Clean Base Automatic Dirt Disposal base can hold dirt for up to two months. While the base is loud, the j5+ vacuums quieter than average, but that may also mean that not everything is vacuumed, such as larger debris.
Multistage cleaning
The four stages of the j5+’s cleaning are:
- Dual multi-surface rubber brushes
- Edge-sweeping brush
- Power-lifting suction
- Back & forth pressure mopping
Dirt detection
The j5+ features Direct Detect, which learns from past cleaning sessions to prioritize dirtier rooms and adjust settings like scrubbing & suction. The j5+ avoids mopping carpets when it encounters them.
Mopping details
The j5+ can clean stains even under your kitchen counter. You see, the microfiber pad takes care of dust, dirt, footprints, and more.
Environmental awareness
The j5+ knows that to clean and what to avoid. If some obstacles are really thin, the j5+ may push them until a path is clear. On the bright side, it can go under furniture. Furthermore, the j5+ features POOP (Pet Owner Official Promise), which steers it clear of animals feces. The j5+ cleans from wall to wall in neat rows.
Mapping feature
The j5+ creates a map of your home quite quickly. In the best case scenario, it can map your home in roughly an hour. In the worst case, mapping can take a few runs.
Smart control
You can use the iRobot Home app do to things from scheduling a cleaning to setting keep-out and no-mop zones. The app can also give you seasonal notifications that may described as cleaning suggestions.
Regarding voice control, Amazon Alexa, Google Assistant, and Siri are all compatible. You can say something such as, “Tell Roomba Combo to clean the kitchen.”
Conclusion
The Roomba Combo j5+ can perhaps best be described as a simpler version of the j9+.
