" ... I really like clean floors and found it difficult to keep my tile and wood floors clean and shiny. ... I already have another robot for vacuuming but needed one that mopped. ... "
" ... It cleans roughly one large room at a time. ... Get the mop attachments made for it specifically and not third party ones. ... "
" ... I love this dumb robot mop. ... Being a parent, I have to clean my floor constantly. ... This mop is nice because after sweeping, you can just let it run and it will get your floor quite clean. ... I have the reusable pads and we wash them and then fill it up with water and I just spray some floor cleaner straight onto the floor. ... Makes me happy and surprises me how clean it gets the floor. ... "
" ... It is quiet and does a great job covering all surfaces. ... It easily moves around furniture and the floor looks so much better after the clean! ... "
" ... First of all, it cleans the floors and does it surprisingly good. ... "
" ... Cleans the floors as planned. ... "
" ... Robot is nice to have but in our home we clean deeply and throughout the house. ... I definitely will keep it for quick clean ups and stick to manual mopping for deep cleanings. ... "
" ... We bought an extra battery and numerous reusable wet pads so we can clean the house in one shot. ... For best results Vacuum the area first then run the Braava. ... "
