iRobot - Braava jet m6 Wi-Fi Connected Robot Mop - White

I got the I7 and M6 price matched as a combo over the holidays and saved quite a bit, pretty much got the m6 free. My 2 story has mostly hard flooring so take that into consideration. Initially my kids and I spent alot if time watching the robots navigate the house. They were seemingly lost, cruising around with no real dedication to any room. The 2nd time they both seemed to be determined to follow walls and borders, still not thoroughly cleaning. So after that, I got notification that the little guys were ready for prime time and asked me to set rooms, which I did. I did this per robot on each story, and was given 2 maps as a result. I was rather skeptical about them at this point because the cleaning left alot to be desired from something so $$$. So I targeted a specific room and hit clean on the I7 and was amazed at the difference in the results. It went from wandering around aimlessly the 1st 2 episodes to b-lining straight to rooms around couches and chairs, night and day. It took several passes the 3rd clean and really left very little to nothing at all behind cleaning in rows. This actually was the case for both robots. Since then scheduling their routines was a breeze, and they don't seem to miss a beat. I like them and I guess if I was to judge between them the M6 obviously cleans deeper, fits into tighter spaces, and makes the floor shiny, Yet requires more maintenance from the user. The tech in the I7 makes it quicker to find rooms and seems slightly more at home navigating I'd say. Just to see, I let the dog hair pile up for a week at set them loose. The I7 got most of everything and the m6 got the left over dust and brought it to a shine. I'd buy them again, but I'll admit I'm curious of how well a high end hybrid would compete for the $$$ -1 star because hybrids do both for cheaper and I'd imagine that 2 robots would take longer than 1, especially with initial set up. I'm a little surprised that the results of mapping a floor cannot be shared between robots, each have to map the area separately. Also the I7 didn't get all of the hair out of the carpet when it was allowed to pile up, even on the 2nd try. More of a maintenance machine on carpet, suction isn't the strongest, initially use your standard vacuum before relying on the I7. The M6 has issues with elevation changes between my tile kitchen and my laminated wood floor living area. The M6 treats the transitions like walls and will not cross them.

We are pleased with this device. It is convenient, easy to use with iRobot app, and works well with our iRobet i3 vacuum. It does have problems with certain difficult to clean spots, but it is no problem to take a moment to hit those spots by hand afterwards and the floor looks great after it gets done. The pads are easy to wash on delicate and it really saves a ton of time and energy.

This robot is so quiet, and it works great with my Roomba J8+. I set it to follow behind the Roomba, so it dusts the room right after vacuuming. Then, I heat up some distilled water, add the solution, and off it goes to mop. The mapping was a little off, as it placed an obstacle to avoid in front of my oven & no clue why. I need to re-map, but it's fine for now. There is a little streaking after it mops, but it wears off in no time & not a big deal. I love how clean the floor stays, even with 2 dogs that have their own dog door & 2 kids actively going in & out. We don't have a housekeeper anymore since I got these robots, so they're actually saving us money & our floors are cleaner than ever! Very satisfied!
