About this deal
For what it costs and what you get, it’s fair to say that the iRobot Roomba Combo 111840 Robot Vacuum & Mop is one of the best in its price category. The R11840 can travel around floors with expert precision, despite not having high-tech sensors or navigation software. It doesn’t have mapping capabilities, so it’ll set up its own cleaning path automatically every time you turn it on. What sets the R11840 apart from most robotic vacuum cleaners is the mopping module. If you want, simply attach the water reservoir and microfiber pad onto the bottom of the robot and watch as it wipes your floors clean. Best of all, because it connects using Wi-Fi, you can send instructions from anywhere in the world, as long as you have a stable internet connection. Voice Assistant Compatibility Or if you’re at home and don’t want to fiddle with your smartphone, just yell at your Alexa or Assistant devices to relay commands to the R11840. It can receive basic voice prompts—start, stop, vacuum, mop, and recharge—but you’ll have to set up the cleaning schedule on your phone manually. Verdict: The iRobot Roomba R11840 Is One of the Best Budget-Friendly Hybrid Robots
On max mode, it’ll use its carpet-boost suction power regardless of where it’s currently cleaning. This, however, drains the battery nearly twice as fast as auto mode. 60-Minute Runtime This Roomba sports a beefy motor that provides more than enough power to extract fine debris from medium-pile carpets. It uses a V-shaped brush that digs deep into carpet fibers while also doing an excellent job at drawing in debris from the sides and corners. While it’s not the most powerful robot vacuum out there, even compared to its Roomba cousins, it does an excellent job at removing most kinds of common floor debris, such as pet hair, dust, and tinier bits of cereal.
