I have Roomba S9+, their most expensive vacuum, and I love it. I was all set to by the Braava Jet M6, their whole-home-mapping fully automated robot when I realized that a) it cannot cross room dividers and b) you have to change pads pretty much every time it mops. So unlike the S9+, which can go into any room in your house (no stairs, obviously) and empties its bin after it's done, the Braava M6 is not a true automated solution. You have to intervene each time it mops. I figured if I had to do that, I might as well get an inexpensive basic model. I almost got the Braava 240 or the Samsung thing that moves on two buffing pads. I'm glad I didn't. This is, I believe, the best mopping robot on the market. First, it's a real automated mop. It doesn't just scrub the floor with the same dirty pad. It sucks up the dirty water into a separate tank and the spinning buffer gets refreshed with clean water as it moves along. Second, while it doesn't have app integration or mapping features, it does create an internal map each time it mops, which means it methodically cleans whatever area you put it in. The small water reservoir is enough for about 1500 square feet, possibly more. That means it can mop most of the average person's home on one tank. It comes with floor cleaning solution, a cleaning tool and a replacement roller. I am really impressed with the navigation and internal maps. It has some sort of front IR sensor, gyroscope and accelerometer and seems to know where in the room it is as it makes its map. It slows down before colliding with objects, just like my S9 with its laser "time of flight" sensor. It also cannot cross room dividers (like the Braava M6) and does not ride up onto rugs, but being confined to a room is a good thing with this robot, as it lets it mop only the room you put it in. I absolutely love this thing. I don't see a lot of information about this robot on YouTube and I hope the company is doing well, because they are the only ones who seem to understand consumer needs in this product space. If they go under I will buy as many of these things as I can, so that I always have one. I can't recommend it highly enough. One caveat...it cleans the floor well, but not spectacularly. About as well as my Bissel upright plug in "mop," but not as well as a real mop, provided you put some muscle into cleaning. The way I see it, this is to clean moderately dirty floors and keep them clean. Not to clean something disgusting that hasn't been mopped in months. Provided you go into it with that understanding, you will not be disappointed.
