iRobot has announced yet another robot, the Braava jet Mopping Robot, to its series of home offerings. It is designed to mop hard floor surfaces with high amounts of traffic, such as kitchen and bathroom.
The device features a compact design. It comprises of a vibrating cleaning head, a precision jet spray and a set of cleaning pads to lift dirt and stains.
There are three cleaning modes, one for each type of the cleaning pad, viz. wet, damp and dry mode. In the wet mode, the Wet Mopping pad will be used to clean dirt and stains on well-sealed floors in a triple-pass. In the damp mode, the Damp Sweeping pad will clean the furniture, floors, tiles and stone for dust and dirt in a double-pass. Both these modes involve cleaning with water. In the dry mode, the Dry Sweeping pad will clean the hard floors for dirt, dust and pet hair in a single-pass. Moreover, the robot will automatically decide the cleaning mode based upon the pad attached to it.
Braava jet comes packaged with a lithium-ion battery. The box contains two cleaning pads of each type. Extra pads can be bought separately.
The device is smart enough to detect and avoid any obstacles. It is also capable of accessing hard-to-reach places, including under kitchen cabinets and around toilet seats. There is also a Virtual Wall mode, which can be used to define a boundary beyond which the robot won’t travel.
The Braava jet Mopping Robot is available at a price of $199 starting next month. Braava jet cleaning pads are separately available for $7.99 for a box of ten. The washable cleaning pads are separately available for $19.99 USD for a box of two.
