The Roomba Combo j5 is a robot vacuum that becomes a mop when you swap its bin for a water tank. Its front camera and vSLAM navigation map your rooms and steer around shoes, cables and pet messes, and iRobot OS learns your layout and suggests schedules. It suits pet owners and mixed carpet-and-hard-floor homes that want one machine for both jobs. Against rivals, it avoids obstacles well for its class, but the mop is a basic drag-and-wipe tank rather than a scrubbing or self-emptying system, and the bin swap is manual.

Owners like the obstacle avoidance and the convenience of vacuuming and mopping with one robot. Many find the mop basic and the manual bin swap a chore, and some report the camera navigation needs good light.
The iRobot Roomba Combo j5 is a robot vacuum and mop in one. Swapping the collection bin switches it between vacuuming and wet mopping. The mopping tank holds enough water to clean up to 55 square meters. It is made for homes with carpets, rugs, hard floors such as parquet and tile, and pets.
A front camera with illumination and vSLAM navigation lets it spot obstacles in real time, even in low light. It recognizes shoes, socks, cables, pet messes and more than 80 other objects, and steers around them. It sends a photo of what it found, and you choose how it reacts the next time. Imprint smart mapping teaches it to identify individual rooms, and it can store up to 10 maps.
The iRobot Home app controls the robot from a smartphone or tablet. You can pick rooms, set customizable cleaning zones and set zones to exclude from mopping. The app also gives personalized and seasonal cleaning recommendations, including alerts for high pollen and pet shedding season. If the battery runs low, the robot recharges only as much as it needs to finish the job, then resumes where it stopped.
