Pros and cons

According to our robot vacuum expert

The robot vacuum vacuums and mops your floors at the same time, so it cleans your floor in 1 movement.
Thanks to the v-shaped rubber middle brush, the robot can easily lift dirt from your floor.
You can set the mopping function to 4 levels, so you decide how wet the mop is.
You can't set any no-go zones, so you have less options to choose where the robot is and isn't allowed to come.

Description

The iRobot Roomba Combo Essential Y011240 vacuums and mops your floor while you're at work. This way, you come home to a clean house. The robot has a v-shaped rubber brush in the middle, which makes it easy to lift dirt. The rotating side brush removes dust and crumbs from along the baseboards. You can set the mopping function to 4 settings. This means you can decide with how much water the robot mops your floors. Because the robot has a thin design of 8cm high, it fits underneath your furniture. You can set a cleaning routine via the iRobot Home app. This way, you choose at which times the robot makes its round.

Useful helper in the household

Sucks up dirt easily
Cleans systematically
With mopping function
Does not recognize items lying around

The iRobot Roomba Combo Essential is a handy cleaning aid. Because he cleaned my floors while I was at work, I always came home to a clean house. So I vacuumed less often.

Systematic cleaning The robot makes its rounds through my house in strips. This way he drives over every part of my floor, without skipping any spots. Nice, because that way I know my floor will be properly clean. The v-shaped brush on the bottom of the robot rotates. I can tell it lifts dirt off the floor so well. He also takes my carpet neatly. The side brush moves along the skirting boards, so that no dust remains there. I adjust the suction level via the app, so I determine how thoroughly the robot vacuums. If I see that my floor is dirtier than normal, I easily choose the highest suction setting.

Mopping function The robot has a removable water reservoir. If I want to use the mopping function, I first fill the water reservoir under the tap. I easily click the supplied mop cloth under the robot. The robot now pulls the wet mop cloth over the floor, which makes it clean just that little bit better. For example, I see that he removes more dust from the floor, so that the floor shines again. The mop will not remove real stains because it does not scrub the floor.

Easy app I set up the robot via the iRobot Home app. I also receive a cleaning report here, so that I can see exactly what the robot is cleaning. The app is very simple, making it easy for me to use the robot. No extensive technical settings. As a handy extra, I also receive suggestions for cleaning routines here. The robot then takes the hay fever season into account, for example. Handy if you have allergies.

Handy for that I find the robot a useful helper in the household, but it does not prevent me from doing any work at all. For example, the robot does not recognize objects. So I empty the floor first, so that it doesn't run over shoes or cables. The robot also does not have an automatic emptying station, so I empty the dust container myself when it is full. The robot does have a competitive price. So I think it is logical that it has less smart functions than other robot vacuum cleaners.

Useful app
Gets stuck on standard obstacles such as chair legs and table legs

Cheaper option among robot vacuum cleaners, but very expensive for its limited capabilities. The entire floor has to be cleared and then it still gets stuck on the chair/table legs. Cannot clean multiple rooms well

Excellent entry-level robot vacuum cleaner

With mop function
Easy to use
Battery life
No 'extra' features

I have been thinking about buying a robot vacuum cleaner for a while now, because vacuuming is not my favorite chore. With a little one on the way, it seemed ideal to have such a device in the house. That is why it was good that I was given the opportunity to test this robot vacuum cleaner.

The installation goes smoothly via a QR code, with which you can easily download the app. The app guides you through all the steps, and as soon as the vacuum cleaner is connected to the internet, it can get started. I started with the option 'vacuum everywhere', and the vacuum cleaner started immediately. Because the house could use a thorough cleaning, I moved some furniture, such as chairs and small tables, to the side so that the vacuum cleaner could reach everywhere. While I did something else, the robot did the work for me. After the entire house was cleaned, I ended the session via the app. It was nice to see on a map in the app where the vacuum cleaner had been. The next day I tried the 'vacuum and mop everywhere' function. To do this, fill the water reservoir and attach the mop. The house was then neatly vacuumed and mopped.

I discovered that the Roomba Combo Essential is an entry-level model. I asked about this via a message to iRobot, to which I quickly received a good answer. Unlike other models, this robot cannot clean per room, zone or object. For my own use, I would consider choosing a model that does have these functions. Other useful options include 'dirt detect', which cleans dirtier areas more intensively, and automatic adjustment to different floor types, such as carpet and hard floors.

All in all, I am satisfied with this vacuum cleaner. The price-quality ratio is good; you get a slightly simpler model for a lower price, but it does its job well, both when vacuuming and mopping.
