Anyone got a robot mop?

[SlipperyLizard]

We’ve got a robot vacuum cleaner which we love (hard floors, 2 kids, dog) but mopping the floors is another chore I hate.

Been looking at the 2 in 1 robot vacuum/mops but just wondering whether anyone here has tried one they’d recommend?

[StephenBelafonte]

Me!

I've got the irobot vacuum and the irobot mop. I wanted 2 separate ones because the robot can be vacuuming upstairs whilst downstairs is being mopped.

The mop is great but after 2 rooms it needs to be recharged - which is fine really.

I looked at reviews for the new eufy vacuum mop but they said it just washes the floor with water which is not going to be enough for our floors.

[SlipperyLizard]

That’s good to know, I’ll check those out. We’re trying to decide between a mopping one to go with our vacuum, or one that does both and move the vacuum to a different part of the house.

We just really need our floors lightly wiped so might work for us - what brand are people using?

I have the iRobot braava jet I love it. I have purchased extra mop pads and batteries so Connie can just keep going! I either put Method floor cleaner down on the floor before she sets off or put some on the mop pad itself. Brilliant .

This sounds amazing.

We have a Braava, it was DH’s first big lockdown purchase when he got sick of mopping every day it has separate pads that just sweep three floor too so I often set it off with that, then hoover and then set off the mop with some Method floor cleaner it is a joy.

Just came on to ask for robot mop recommendations after posting on a robot vac thread.
I already have a robot vac and very pleased with it, and have been ummimg and ahhing over a mop.
Hard floors are kitchen, conservatory, small utility, dining room, hall, downstairs loo.
Probably 35-40m2 at a rough estimate.
Happy for that to be done in 2 lots - dining room rarely used.

[Chasingsquirrels]

Any comparisons for the iRobot Braava Jet 390 v 250?
250 seems to be able to get into smaller places - would this be better for round kitchen & dining room chairs etc?

[mommybear1]

@Chasingsquirrels I've got the 520 it's great for getting into little spaces. Given the area you have I think you will also need extra mop pads and batteries.

[Chasingsquirrels]

Thanks mommybear1.

[mommybear1]

Sorry it's the 250 I've got!

[Chasingsquirrels]

I decided that's what you must mean.
There is only £10 between the two.

We have a Venga vacuum and mop 2 in one. The mop function is ok for a maintenance mop, but not a replacement for a proper mop.

[RubyandPearl]

Wait.....whaaaaaat? I didnt know this was a thing and I want one immediately please

[alpinia]

We've got the Braava, not the one that sprays water. The bigger one. It does a really good job of keeping the place cleaner. It has a sweeping function and a mopping one. The only thing that it doesn't do is scrub, so if you've got any stubborn marks you need to use the old fashioned method.

[Chasingsquirrels]

Aggghhhhh, now I don't know which one to get!

We have the same and I agree. Still need an occasional proper mop but less often if you run the Venga in between.

StephenBelafonte please can I ask which iRobot Roomba vacuum you have? I’m looking at buying both the vacuum and a mop

This one

[NotwatchingSpooks]

Thanks StephenBelafonte , unfortunately that brings up a list of Roombas, do you know which model you have please?

[dotoallasyouwouldbedoneby]

I have the Roborock S6Max v which will hoover and mop at the same time or just hoover alone or just mop alone. I wish I had bought one years ago although I think the dual option ones haven't been around that long.
