Title: Better than expected
Review: I was prepared to not like this. The cost alone made me suspect. However, after using the included wet mop pad (stay with the branded versions and you won’t regret it) I was amazed. Ok, it didn’t get the edges of the baseboard. It’s not a vacuum. It functions best as a wet mop. The dry sweep function does pick up an embarrassingly large amount of dust and dirt on the floor but it can’t pick up anything that is larger than that which can stick to the pad. That’s a built in limitation. If you need a vacuum, and we all do, this doesn’t do that. But it does an AMAZING job of wet mop. And the mapping feature is far better than I expected. It doesn’t get it right on the first pass but it does add to its learning when it mops according to the map. One thing I will say - the app needs help. It’s not easy to work with. But it is what you have. The iRobot takes a very long time to mop our 2000 sq ft floor plan. But we set it when we leave and it does its thing. The app gets points for letting me know where it is and how it is doing with progress. I do wish the fluid reservoir was larger - it runs out of juice before it finished the floor and it does seem to spray more than is really necessary. We were going to give it a week and then we’re very prepared to return it. But after looking at the job it does and the time we save, it’s worth the price.

Title: A great compliment to my Roomba vacuums
Review: I finally bought the M6 after years of running the Roomba vacuums. We have all luxury vinyl plank flooring in the house and 6 dogs. They go in and out all day and bring in a bunch of dirt. Plus I have a goldendoodle that drips water everywhere each time she drinks. My floors look like a mess even though they are cleaned of dirt several times a day.The Brava M6 is incredible! It cleans up after the Roombas and leaves the floors streak free. I added it to my Roomba app and like another reviewer had mentioned, mine did a mapping run and it ran for 7 hours before I finally stopped it and did a factory reset on it. Then I waited until the next morning to try again, it then allowed me to import my maps from my Roomba J7 and was ready to go. Very easy and cool. I don't know why it didn't do that the first time but it started working after that.Immediately, the floors felt cleaner and looked great, just on the mapping run. But I was able to schedule the M6 to follow after the J7 and mop up. So far it's working well. I wish it had a light on it like the J7 so it could clean at night, but I have smart lights and schedule them to come on throughout the night in different rooms to allow the M6 to clean. The M6 is VERY quiet. It can easily run at night if you have the lighting for it. I run the J7 at night and it isn't as quiet. Plus the emptying process is pretty loud. We've gotten used to it, but it isn't stealth. The M6 is. I had thought a few times it had finished and gone back to the base because I couldn't hardly hear it.This does clean in a zigzag pattern but it also goes forward and backwards all through the process. It's a little frustrating to watch and it runs slower than the vacuums for sure, but it is doing a great job.Like all Roomba's, it can't be scheduled for jobs less than 3 hour apart. It's frustrating because I sometimes have it do areas that are very small and take less than 10 minutes. But scheduling through the app can't be done less than the 3 hours regardless. So I have my Roombas run every 3 hours starting at 11:30 at night and throughout the night. I have the vacuum clean up around the doors after breakfast with the dogs going out and drinking water. I now have the M6 come clean up the water and any other dirt right after all that. It's amazing how much cleaner everything feels.I bought some additional cleaning pads and cleaner. The cleaning solution they sent with it worked great so I ordered a lot more. The cheap pads I bought seem to do fine as well. I was so impressed how little water it uses, yet the floors look soaked. I'm running it on the medium water setting. There is about 2500Sq feet of flooring it is doing right now. It seems like it is plenty to do it all but I do refill it throughout the day to be sure.So far I'm impressed with the M6 like I have been with the vacuums. It keeps my house much cleaner and is simple to use. It works great with the existing Roombas and is easy to operate.

Title: More Maintenance Than You Think - A Very Critical Issue I Wish I Knew Before Buying.
Review: Edit update 4/21/24 - I rarely use this device anymore. After some firmware updates, it gets lost frequently and spins around in circles until it's redocked and told to end it's job. It only works maybe 20 percent of the time now and no matter how many times I reset, remap, recalibrate; it has become useless. I do not recommend this product.Here is what to expect when your purchase this model (M6 white or black), this is NOT a set and forget kind of situation, you will tend to it almost every day. Not just to fill the tank or change the mop pads. Trust me. 1. It will get stuck on rugs of any kind. When it performs its first few map-runs, be sure to go into the app and immediately add "Keep out zones" or you will constantly find the mop stuck. Even then, it may still get stuck on a rug once and a while. It's just part of the game. 2. Buy extra reusable microfiber pads. You will wash them frequently and they stink like mildew in only about 2-3 days. 3. The lid of the device is finicky, sometimes I get a red ring which tells me to "fill the tank" but it's already full. I discovered it's just the lid to access the tank. I must open and close this once or twice and we're back in action. 4. All the other reviews saying that this machine streaks their floors are 100% accurate. My floors are darker, so I don't notice them unless light shines directly in through my windows but to be honest with you, they don't bother me as much as some people here. There is a couple ways to reduce streaks. You'll want to setup a "favorite" mopping schedule. Basically, you'll have the mop, slowly make its way back to the dock as it cleans. You don't want it to drag the wet mop (anymore than it does already) back through an area it just cleaned. If you use distilled water and just the right amount of solution, you can counter this but it's still going to streak a bit. Also, imagine how much distilled water you'll be going through... 5. THE BIGGEST ISSUE: The reason I came to write a quick review. In less than 8 months, the device began having issues docking itself after a mop session. After some troubleshooting and Google searching, I discovered this was due to tire deterioration. The right tire was quickly falling apart, I could even rub my finger over it gently and pieces of rubber would be left in my finger. This is when I made a really critical discovery. YOU CANNOT BUY NEW TIRES THROUGH ROOMBA WEBSITE, YOU MUST CALL. You read that right. They will replace through warranty but you cannot buy them separately. Getting the tire replaced is just about as bad as you've heard others mention. It took over 1.5 hours of a phone call (40 minute wait). The man was nice but very slow to handle the issue. I had to take pictures of my device, as well as the tires. Nothing too difficult. In the end, they shipped me some new tires (I just got off the phone, so I expect to see these in 7 business days, if not...I'll be back to update this). Since I am still under the year warranty from the manufacturer, I was not charged any fee. I forgot to ask him how much they would be in the future when these fall apart too. I find the tire situation to be very unacceptable and poorly designed for a robot mop that is actually not as stupid as other reviews have claimed. It's on the more expensive side but the application benefits you get in addition to the link-clean feature (so it will run after your iRobot vacuums) was of a great importance to me. Had it not been for this issue with the tires, I would have given this a higher review. The fact that I have never used any unapproved cleaning solution outside of what iRobot suggest (Bona) and this has been an issue in less than 8 months, is just not ok. Yes, they are sending me new tires; however, we'll potentially be in the same boat in less than a year from now? Time will tell but since the customer service rep said they were sending me the same tires, I take it that I am most likely going to be calling them for more tires soon. I don't mind buying them once and a while because I love this mop and it makes my life a lot easier but they need a more permanent fix for this. For the record, I did have a temporary solution for this. You can spray anti-slip chemical on the tires and base but you'll be doing this frequently and it can get a bit messy. This isn't really something consumers should have to do though. Overall, if you're on the fence, I would say hold out for a newer model. While they do have another model to coincide with the newest vacuum, I have also heard similar issues with that one (the one with the gold lid). iRobot is smarter than this, they need to go back to the drawing board with the tire design and material.

Title:
Review: I found the robot mop to be quite effective at basic cleaning of all our uncarpeted areas. The app was easy to install on my Android phone and it was reasonably easy to get it to link up to the mop. It worked well to first have the machine map out each floor. Now I can place the mop on whichever floor I want washed and select that map from my phone. Once I click for it to start no further user intervention is needed. The soap included only fills the tank 2 times and there is just one cleaning pad so additional supplies are needed right away. Other than that, I'm completely happy with it.

Review: Recientemente he tenido la oportunidad de usar el iRobot Robot Trapeador Braava en mi hogar y puedo decir que me ha sorprendido gratamente.En primer lugar, debo mencionar que encontré muy fácil de usar. Simplemente lo enciendo y lo programo para que limpie la casa a mi conveniencia, ya sea de forma regular o en un horario específico. Además, gracias a la app Wi-Fi, puedo controlarlo desde mi teléfono y programarlo desde cualquier lugar, lo que me resulta muy práctico en fines de semana por ejemplo que salgo a hacer alguna compra o de visita.Otra cosa que me ha gustado mucho es que es capaz de limpiar de manera efectiva las áreas difíciles de alcanzar, como debajo de la cama o el sofá. Gracias a sus cepillos y sistema de limpieza, logra recoger toda la suciedad y el polvo, dejando mis pisos realmente limpios y libres de manchas.Pero lo que más me ha sorprendido es su capacidad para mapear mi hogar. La cámara integrada permite que el robot trapeador se adapte a cualquier diseño de casa y recorra de forma eficiente todas las habitaciones y áreas. Esto me permite ahorrar tiempo y esfuerzo, ya que no tengo que preocuparme por mover muebles o despejar el camino. Sin embargo hay una excepcion a esto, ya que es capaz de subir algunas superficies con pocos centimetros de altura. tengo uan pequena repisa a nivel de piso y en una ocacion se subio y me derribo algunos de los objectos ahi, pero una vez mapeado adecuadamente no volvio a ocurrirAdemás, el iRobot es muy silencioso, lo que me permite usarlo mientras estoy en casa sin molestarme. También es muy compacto y fácil de guardar, lo que me facilita su mantenimiento y almacenamiento.En general, estoy muy satisfecho con el desempeño del iRobot y lo recomendaría sin duda a otras personas. Es una herramienta muy útil para mantener la limpieza de nuestro hogar de manera eficiente y sin esfuerzo. Especialmente para departamentos y areas pequenas. Si vives solo o no te gusta trapear pues es una gran solucion para ti, te aseguro que no te va a decepcionar.

Review: This thing is great. Mops in a methodical manner, doesn't miss many spots. A couple drawbacks are: the re-usable pad doesn't work as great as the disposable paper ones unfortunately, and it does go through a lot of fluid. Either way, I don't have to mop very often since this little guy does it for me, so I consider it money well spent.This is probably completely obvious to other people but it wasn't to me: This mop will not work in the dark.
