Robot mops are great for cleaning floors, but they can get a little dirty with repeated use. Routine maintenance is important to keep them functioning well, including emptying the water and dust tanks and washing the reusable mops and cleaning pads. Robot mops do not need to be emptied every time you clean your floors, but you should empty them after a long period of time to prevent mold growth.

Most robot mops can be controlled by a remote, voice assistant, or mobile app. For example, the iRobot Braava Jet M6 has an app that lets you clean your floors with customized cleaning maps. Samsung's Jetbot Robotic Mop also comes with a remote control for added convenience.

Some robot mops have rechargeable batteries, which can keep them functioning for up to 90 minutes. This makes them a good choice for larger areas. They also allow you to resume cleaning when the battery runs out. This feature allows you to save time and money by reducing the amount of setup and maintenance you need to do.

The Braava Jet m6 is easy to set up and sync with your phone. It was the fastest of the three mops we tested, and its cleaning ability was impressive. The robot mop had no problem cleaning edges and corners. Unfortunately, it did get stuck on an area rug once, but was able to free itself without assistance. On subsequent runs, it was able to avoid getting stuck again.

The battery life of a robot mop is an important consideration, especially if you have a large home. Most robot mops last for about an hour, and it is recommended to choose a model with a minimum battery life of two hours. Some models can even reach up to three hours. However, make sure you know how much time you will need to charge the device to get a thorough clean.

If you do not own a robot vacuum, a single-function robot mop is a great option. It can clean a small room or store in a closet when not in use. The Braava Jet m6 can handle up to 200 square feet of floor space. Moreover, you can adjust the amount of water spray with the touch of a button.

Another feature that distinguishes the Braava from other robot mops is its Virtual Wall Mode, which helps you avoid areas that may contain different surfaces. This feature is particularly useful if you want to connect rooms with different surfaces. The Braava also has the ability to avoid obstacles like carpets and other items.

Another option is the Yeedi Vac 2. It has three-dimensional object avoidance technology, which is very helpful for cleaning rugs. Another option is the Pro version, which has a longer battery life. However, you will need an Amazon coupon to purchase this model. If you are considering purchasing a robot mop, make sure you consider the features of these two options before making a decision. They are both great devices for home cleaning.

The Bissell SpinWave Wet and Dry Robotic Vacuum is another excellent option. It has two tanks to clean floors and has a high-suction mode. In addition, it has an avoidance sensor that helps it avoid objects. It can also detect if it is on a carpet. If it does, the robot mop will lift up the mop plate and avoid the carpet.

The iRobot Braava can do two tasks simultaneously: vacuuming and mopping. This means it can clean floors with the help of a Roomba. But it is important to note that you will need to purchase disposable mop pads separately. If you do not want to purchase them, you can buy a different type of mop.
