About This Vacuum
The Amazon Renewed iRobot Roomba Combo j5+ is a 2-in-1 robot vacuum and mop. Swap the bin to switch between vacuuming and mopping: use the vacuum bin for carpets and rugs, or the Combo Bin with water or cleaning solution to vacuum and mop hard floors at the same time. It uses the 4-Stage Cleaning System from the Roomba j7+ platform to pull dirt, debris, and pet hair from both carpets and hard floors. Dirt Detect Technology spots heavily soiled areas and increases cleaning power there. The microfiber pad handles footprints, dust, and grime on hard floors. Smart navigation creates neat, overlapping rows for full coverage. Object recognition avoids cords, shoes, pet bowls, and pet waste (backed by iRobot's P.O.O.P. guarantee). The self-emptying base holds debris for up to 2 months. Use the iRobot Home App to set No Mop Zones and keep carpets dry during mopping cycles. This renewed model works for homes with mixed flooring, busy households, and pet owners. It delivers the same performance as a new unit at a lower price.
Frequently Asked Questions
For pet hair, look for vacuums with strong suction (minimum 20,000 Pa for robot vacuums, 150+ AW for cordless), specialized pet hair attachments, and HEPA filtration that captures 99.97% of particles. Top-rated options include the Dyson V15 Detect ($749), Shark Navigator Lift-Away ($199), and Bissell Pet Hair Eraser ($329). According to our price tracking data, these vacuums maintain consistent 4.5+ star ratings across thousands of reviews.
Most vacuum filters should be replaced every 3-6 months, depending on usage frequency and household conditions. HEPA filters typically last 12-18 months with regular cleaning. For bagless vacuums, clean washable filters every 1-2 weeks. Replacement filters cost between $15-$50 depending on the brand. Failing to replace filters can reduce suction power by up to 50%.
For hardwood floors, stick vacuums (like Dyson V15 or Tineco Floor One S5) or canister vacuums with adjustable suction and soft brush attachments work best. Key features to look for: rubber or felt wheels that won't scratch, adjustable suction settings, and soft roller brush heads. Avoid beater bars with stiff bristles that can scratch wood surfaces. Average price range: $200-$600 for quality hardwood-safe vacuums.
Corded vacuums offer consistent power (typically 10-12 amps) and unlimited runtime, ideal for homes over 2,000 sq ft. Average cord length is 25-30 feet. Cordless vacuums provide convenience with 20-60 minutes runtime (premium models like Dyson V15 offer up to 60 minutes). Battery replacement costs $50-$150 after 2-3 years. For quick cleanups and homes under 1,500 sq ft, cordless is often more practical. Cordless models now match corded suction power in premium price ranges ($500+).
Vacuum cleaner prices vary by type: Budget uprights start at $80-$150, mid-range stick vacuums cost $200-$400, premium cordless vacuums (Dyson, Shark) range $400-$800, and robot vacuums span $150-$1,500. Based on our price tracking, the sweet spot for quality vs. value is $250-$400 for stick vacuums and $300-$600 for robot vacuums. Sales events (Prime Day, Black Friday) offer 20-40% discounts on premium brands.
