What reviewers say
Distilled from the video reviewers — the score, what they praise, where they push back.?
Reviewers praise
- Exceptional vacuuming power — dual rubber brushes and high suction handle fine debris, large debris, and deeply embedded carpet dirt better than most robot vacuums reviewers have tested
- Auto-retract mopping system lifts the pad fully onto the robot's back over carpet, reliably keeping carpets dry while vacuuming and mopping in a single pass
- Smart Scrub feature uses downward pressure and back-and-forth passes to remove dried-on stains more effectively than simple drag-pad designs
Reviewers push back
- No automatic mop-pad washing or drying at the dock; pads must be removed and hand-washed after each mopping run
- Navigation is slower than key competitors — initial mapping takes longer and cleaning runs average noticeably more time per session
- Filters cannot be washed and become heavily soiled faster than the claimed maintenance interval suggests, adding ongoing replacement cost
A genuinely strong vacuum-mop combo with class-leading suction and a clever mop-retract system, held back by slow navigation, no auto mop-pad washing, and a few app rough edges.
On Roomba Combo j9+: Sanitary trade-off: Vacuum Wars and Erin Lawrence accept iRobot's argument that skipping auto pad-washing avoids dirty-water odor and debris mixing, while Vacuum Chef frames the omission as an oversight given a newer sibling model now includes the feature
