Worth every penny!

Reviewed in the United States on March 15, 2021

I had first ordered the iRobot 240 Braava Robot Mop, B240 for $179.99. It is smaller than the M6 &did not clean as much area, also it did not clean very long before going back to charge. I returned it and purchased the M6 for $532.68. I really didn't want to spend this much, but it has been wonderful, it works forever like the energizing bunny. We have owned it for 7 months and it started quitting early; we thot it needed a new battery. I called customer service they said the battery is fine; but there was a communication problem. They had me reboot it 3 times and now it is fine. I can think of many things to do besides mop the floor with a mop! I sweep first with iRobot Roomba i7+ (7550).

Stopped working after warranty period + overall not useful

Reviewed in the United States on September 15, 2022

The Braava takes 1-2 hours to clean ~500 sqft when dry sweeping / mopping respectively. I can do this job in under 5 minutes with a Swiffer. In addition, you need to either purchase reusable pads and find places to keep them when clean, dirty, or drying, or alternatively you can continuously spend $15 on single-use refills. The machine also does a poor job around walls and corners, and pushes dirt against edges such that it builds up and eventually becomes worse than the problem you originally intended the robot to solve.

My overall takeaway is that the robot needs help to properly function (maintaining the robot, pads, and added cleaning to cover areas the robot doesn't cover). The financial and time cost of that additional help negates any benefit whatsoever to using the Braava.

Two final points:

The robot is bad at mapping and traversing its intended use area. My apartment is small and has a very simple floor plan, yet the robot constantly got stuck on furniture that hadn't moved at all. It would fail to dock, sending an alert that it's in the kitchen, when in reality it's behind the couch, and the dock is in another room entirely. Whatever algorithm powers this robot needs to be reconfigured in order to make it useful.

Lastly, the robot stopped working just after the 90 day Amazon warranty period. It's a piece of junk.

Expensive but mostly worth it

So far it has been great! I hate mopping so after my roomba vacuums I am able to set the Braava to mop selected rooms or the whole floor. I wish I could use a different cleaning solution without worrying about destroying the robot to use natural ingredients. Both for health benefits and to save money. But I have not done so. The one thing that is a little annoying is it can't get over even the smallest thresholds. So while the roomba cleans the whole downstairs the braava does not clean our bathroom or laundry room with being placed there by hand. I also think it should come with a reusable mopping pad when paying so much money for a mop.

Impressed!

I did sooooo much research before buying this machine. I almost purchased another brand, but really liked that I can use the same iRobot app I use for my vacuum, so ultimately I decided on this mop. I’m super impressed. The battery life is incredible and in heavy duty mode my floors which I did not hand mop ahead of time, were spotless when she was done. Amazing! Very quiet and impressive cleaning. My floors are spotless. I run my iRobot vacuum first, then run the mop. This is an incredible time saver. So glad I purchased this machine.

Cleans very well but cleaning fluid is expensive and hard to get

Reviewed in the United States on March 9, 2021

Roomba Braava m6 is very quiet and it has nice features like users can control through their iRobot app amount of cleaning fluid to be used (there are three levels). Its setup is similar to that of iRobot Roomba 6+, in that it needs to map the floor first (although the map was ready after one pass only). However, our Braava's map had errors like it was showing non-existent connections between rooms. Then, Braava was trying to go through a wall thinking it could pass. This never happened in our Roomba. I probably should have erased the map and ask Braava to remap the floor. Instead, I put in two no-clean-zones to block these virtual passages. This has helped a lot.

Comment: Like Roomba, when you ask Braava to mop floor in a certain room, it will try to get there whichever the shortest way is, it seems. So, when its map was showing openings between rooms which did not exist in reality, it was banging the wall trying to get through. Eventually, after a long while, it did find the way back to its docking station.

It also appears that Braava's algorithm for getting out of trouble is not as smart as that of the Roomba: Roomba turns around and leaves the way it came. Braava, instead turns around banging obstacles around it and it takes it much longer to get out into the open space.

Braava couple of times seemed to have problems docking: it would stop two feet away in front of its docking station and it would go left and right and backwards instead of just going straight to dock. Maybe its needs time to learn. Another reason why it might have had problems docking is that its docking station is 1-2 ft away from Roomba's docking station. I was told there needs to be at least 6 ft apart between them, which I can't easily do. So for now, they are close. Recently, Braava has been docking faster.

These small issues aside, Braava does a very good job cleaning the floor. We are really happy.

Couple of cautions:

1. iRobot sells various mopping robots that are called "Braava": be careful buying cleaning pads for m6 as they are different from those for the other robots, like "200". It does not help that packages with these pads are not clearly labelled to indicate in which Braava they are meant to be used. Make sure when you order them that they are indicated to be for the "m6".

2. The cleaning fluid is very good: it dries up very quickly and it does not smell. Floor is very clean. The main issue is that this fluid is expensive: a 16 fl. oz bottle good for 8 fill-ups (2 fl oz of the fluid plus 2 fl oz of water) costs around 21 US dollars or about $2.65 per fill up, and it is hard to buy. There is a new concentrated also 16 fl.oz bottle for $49.97 which is supposed to give 32 fill ups at $1.56 per fill up, so about twice cheaper, which is good. It is still expensive, I think. Yes, you can put in less fluid than the manual says, even you can put in just pure water, but no other brand fluid, like Bona's tile cleaning fluid, for fear of voiding the warranty.

At any rate, we are happy with this Braava m6.

Make your spouse happy

By purchasing this irobot Braava Jet mop, I think I got away with violating the Number One Rule for spousal relationships: cleaning tools and supplies are NOT presents. However, in this case SWMBO loves it! Bought this for vinyl flooring maintenance in the kitchen and front hall, and it does a good job. We don't have hair problems there but works great on other messes. Learned the room layout after 2 or 3 uses and compensates for unexpected obstacles such as chairs out of position and doors left open. Works around these and does it's best to get into every nook that it can. A hoot to watch!

Brilliant little machine and the smart mapping is wonderful. Does what it says and no reservations in recommending the robot. Works well with the microfible cloths and just water in the tank but would suggest a very few drops of non foaming detergent. The delivery to the Philippines was very fast. Well done all round.
An update. Moved the charging station to a different location, specifically the opposite corner of the room the base was in. After momentary confusuionthe robot reorientation itself and executed its jobs with no intervention. Well done Irobot!

Love the mop but I wish it mapped your house better. It seems to mostly clean the living room.

I love the mop, except that it’s always getting stuck on my air vents. The mapping could use some help.
My shark robot maps excellent but my mop doesn’t map very well. It cleans mostly my living room and I have it set to clean everywhere. I find myself picking it up and moving it to different rooms a lot and getting it unstuck. I kept it but it could use some work on it to do what it’s supposed to do.
I think the price I paid for it was to much considering I’am always having to get it unstuck so much and moving it to different rooms.

good item with little cons in design

Reviewed in the United States on October 10, 2019

Verified PurchaseEarly Reviewer Rewards(What's this?)

Pros: this product is nice and does a clean work. eventhough i have not used more than once yet. i did the deep cleaning and it was running for 2 hours to do the cleaning. but did a very good job. so no complaints about cleaning.

Cons: the tank inside the item for filling the water is not designed properly. the opening of that tank is on the side with the plastic lid to close it, so by frequent use and opening of the tank more frequently the plastic lid can get loose and water might start leaking from it. thats makes me nervous whether to retain this item or return it. it would have been nice if they have the opening of the tank to fill water on the top and not at the side.

This product would probably be great for someone with no pets. I would run the vacuum first. Twice. Then run this and it just didn't seem to do that good of a job and seemed to keep getting clogged even though we were using their cleaner. So strange
