Description

The iRobot Roomba Combo i8 vacuums and mops your floor while you're not at home. That way, you step into a clean house after work. The robot knows the map of your house and doesn't miss a single spot. When the battery of the robot vacuum is almost empty, it drives itself back to the charging dock. After charging, the Roomba i8 continues where it left off. You can control the robot vacuum via your voice assistant or the iRobot Home app. That way, you can choose which parts of your house it should and shouldn't go to. Accidentally dropped some crumbs? Tell your voice assistant where the crumbs are and the Roomba does the rest.

Our expert review

Easy to use and a good cleaning result

• Simple installation
• Set to your own preference via app
• Thoroughly vacuums floors and carpets
• Mopping function requires some actions

The iRobot Combo i8 is super easy to use and cleans my floors just the way I like it. However, mopping does require some actions and I miss an empty station.

Easy to use
When I open the package, I immediately find instructions for setting up the robot. I download the app and find the steps to start the robot. I place the charging station according to the instructions and start the first ride. For example, the robot immediately maps my house itself.

Extensive app
After the first round, the robot automatically drives back to the charging station. In the app I get a message that the map of my house is ready. If I want to change something myself, I can do that right away. Now the robot knows exactly which room is where and which obstacles there are. I can now set cleaning schedules and choose which rooms the robot cleans at what time. Even within a room I can choose additional zones where the robot cleans more thoroughly. Or I choose no-go zones where the robot does not come. In addition, the app also provides seasonal suggestions. For example, for extra cleaning during the hay fever season. Even outside the home, for example when I'm in the supermarket, I still control the robot.

Good cleaning result
My floors are really neat and clean after the robot is done. My carpet looks good again. Only when there are really many obstacles does the robot sometimes miss a piece. Furthermore, the robot takes every corner well. It drives along all the walls at the end of the cleaning so that the side brush goes along the skirting board. If I also attach the mop to the robot, it will wipe my floors. This way it removes just a little extra dirt. To do this, you must first place the water reservoir. I also have to set a no-go zone for my carpet, so that the robot does not drive over it with the mop.

No empty station
When the built-in dust container is full, I immediately receive a notification via the app. With the push of a button I remove the dust container from the robot. I empty this above the trash. The robot now stops cleaning for a while. I regret this, because I now have to step in myself. Fortunately, there is also a Combo i8+ with an empty drive. The robot then automatically empties its dust container when it is full.

Very easy to use but cleaning could be better!

• Very easy to operate via the app
• Just does his thing
• Charging and emptying station is very convenient
• Does not take the edge of the floor along a rug

We previously had a robot vacuum cleaner that just drove around randomly and bumped into everything. That robot had 2 'sweepers' and reached all corners and along all edges. Unfortunately the battery was completely dead and we had to get a new 'Frits'. This i8 combo is really great! It is a bit bigger than our old Frits, just bumps over thresholds, cables and carpets/mats, makes a little more noise but is so easy to use thanks to the app! The automatic emptying is really a solution! Then it sounds for a moment as if you have a real vacuum cleaner on the Max setting, but that quickly passes. The space it takes up because its Dock must have enough empty space around it was a bit disappointing to me. Unfortunately, that is inherent to a small house. But we solved that by placing the Dock at the foot of a huge plant. You never walk right past that... without wanting to be whacked by the plant. Before you let Frits explore the house to make a map: take away things that shouldn't be there! (Moving boxes, shoes, pile of laundry, weak bathroom mats, etc.) After a while, when Frits has an idea of what your house looks like, you will see a nice card. You can adjust all those rooms and lines! It took me a while before I saw at the bottom of the screen that you can also change the 'border lines' of the rooms. The brushing zones and no-GO zones are also easy to set up. This all works like a charm! But... the edges... old Frits was really better at that. This new one then wipes dirt off the mat/carpet... but does not go onto the floor, the mat edge and then vacuum it up. To be honest, he just misses an extra wiper on the other side. That would really help him to vacuum better and more accurately. Trying to play with zones to get him to do those edges better, but alas. I don't know if something like that can come with updates or if he can still learn it. Which is sometimes strange: then he makes a nice long path, stops in the middle, makes a strange angle and skips a whole part. Goes along a box edge and then does not continue to the end, but somewhere just before the end it goes somewhere else. That's what I meant by a robot with ADHD. Does not complete the ride and therefore dirt remains. But... all in all... we are very satisfied.
