iRobot, J517020, Roomba Combo Vacuum & Mop Robotic Floor Cleaner, Smart Technology, 1

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Unboxing: This thing was was packed well, apart from it being triple boxed (thank you), each box was labeled and included instructions on what to remove first so the robot wasn't damaged. First impression: Wow, this thing is beautiful; very sleek, stylish and modern. Setup: Setup was very easy, pretty much just plug and play. The instructions are printed on high quality materials so you can easily store them away for later. They give you a QR code to scan, this is my second Roomba so I already had the app downloaded. Operation: it is quieter than my first Roomba and my Shark, except for the empty bin option, very noisy but what can you expect, you need it to have powerful suction in order to clean it out. Pros: - Visually appealing and modern. - It is able to detect cords and other obstacles in its path with the front facing camera. That means if you have animals and they have accidents, there will be no more spreading poo all over the house (luckily my dog hasn't done that). - Cleans in rows instead random so it is quicker and more efficient. - Dog resistant, if you dog attacks it and turn it off Al the time, you are in luck. This one is not as easy to stop as previous versions. (See mapping video). - Debree bags, the dirt goes into the debree bags instead of making the entire chamber filthy. Cons: - The empty bin function is VERY loud. My dog did not like it at all, neither did my husband. - You have to swap out the attachment for mopping. - You will have to buy additional debree bags Overall Review: I am pleased with the robot, although I wish I it could vacuum and mop without changing the the attachment. The empty bin functionality is loud and will take some getting used to so I suggest putting the home unit somewhere where the noise won't bother you. I work from home so I put it far away from my office. Monitor your animals for the first few times you operate it so they aren't afraid and reward them for leaving it alone. Overall B+

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I recently purchased the Roomba Combo j5+ Robot Vacuum and Mop, and it has truly transformed my cleaning routine. This smart device combines the best of both worlds, making it a valuable addition to any home. The vacuum function is impressive. It effortlessly navigates through my home, cleaning up dirt, dust, and pet hair with precision. The combination of sensors and mapping technology ensures it doesn't miss a spot. I particularly like that it adapts to different floor types seamlessly, from hardwood to carpets. The mopping feature is a game-changer. With its intelligent water dispensing system, it doesn't leave floors soaking wet but provides just the right amount of moisture for a thorough clean. The disposable mopping pads are a convenient touch, and they make post-cleaning maintenance hassle-free. The companion app allows me to schedule cleaning sessions and customize settings with ease. Its integration with voice assistants like Alexa and Google Assistant is a plus. It's super cool making everything so smart! The Roomba Combo j5+ is well worth its price, the time and effort it saves on cleaning make it a worthwhile investment. It's been a great addition to my home, and I highly recommend it to anyone looking for an efficient and intelligent cleaning solution.
