'ZDNET Recommends': What exactly does it mean?
ZDNET's recommendations are based on many hours of testing, research, and comparison shopping. We gather data from the best available sources, including vendor and retailer listings as well as other relevant and independent reviews sites. And we pore over customer reviews to find out what matters to real people who already own and use the products and services we’re assessing.
When you click through from our site to a retailer and buy a product or service, we may earn affiliate commissions. This helps support our work, but does not affect what we cover or how, and it does not affect the price you pay. Neither ZDNET nor the author are compensated for these independent reviews. Indeed, we follow strict guidelines that ensure our editorial content is never influenced by advertisers.
ZDNET's editorial team writes on behalf of you, our reader. Our goal is to deliver the most accurate information and the most knowledgeable advice possible in order to help you make smarter buying decisions on tech gear and a wide array of products and services. Our editors thoroughly review and fact-check every article to ensure that our content meets the highest standards. If we have made an error or published misleading information, we will correct or clarify the article. If you see inaccuracies in our content, please report the mistake via this form.
The Roomba Combo J7+ is $300 off for a limited time
If you're a Transformers fan, I present the Roomba Combo J7+. This robot vacuum and mop combination easily transitions from hard to soft floors by lifting the mop away from carpets with a retractable arm.
The Combo J7+ is a self-emptying robot vacuum that is also smart enough to avoid obstacles on the floor, from dirty socks to pet waste -- and you can now buy it now for $799 (down from the usual price of $1,099).
The Roomba's dual multisurface rubber brushes effectively pick up small debris, dust, and hair that other robot vacuums can miss. The rubber brushes have no bristles, which helps prevent hair tangles and ensures more consistent suction, making it a great fit for homes with kids and pets.
Review: Roomba Combo J7+: A 2-in-1 robot vacuum done (almost) right
The J7+'s small mopping pad and water tank make it more suitable for medium homes or mostly carpeted areas, as larger areas require refilling the water tank several times during a cleaning session. That being said, we can't knock its mopping performance. This Roomba features SmartScrub, a technology that mops back and forth with downward pressure to get rid of tough stains.
The Roomba Combo J7+ is $300 off, available for $799 for a limited time.
