Title: Robotic mops
Post by: Becca Mills on November 09, 2018, 06:53:59 AM
Seriously, does anyone have one of those Roomba-type robots, but for mopping instead of vacuuming? If so, do you like it?

Couldn't you just use one of these (https://www.babymop.com/en/index.html)?   grint

Yeah, the Widgets used to have it covered, but now that they're eight, they're somewhat less inclined to crawl.  :shrug

Robotic vacuums and mops are great fun... until the dog leaves a little solid state prezzie on the floor

Are you referring to the "Pooptastrophe (https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/nation-now/2016/08/15/pooptastrophe-man-details-night-his-roomba-ran-over-dog-poop/88667704/)" of 2016?

He's also an author so instead of a Bookbub listing, I guess he got a Poopbub.  I wonder if it helped book sales?

Lol. Our Roomba vacuum runs under supervision. No pooptastrophies here.

If such a thing exists, I need it. I don't mind vacuuming but hate mopping.

Well here you go!

I'm sort of wondering 1) how durable it is and 2) how well it gets off those dried on spots.

I love it! I guess now I have a splurge to work toward.  Grin

I have a brava. Love it. I use it with the disposable swiffer wet cloths. Available on Amazon's Subscribe and Save monthly program. The cloths, not the brava.

I bought one. Unlike Max, I don't think it's so great. It doesn't do that good a job of cleaning (dried spots, nope) and it's always stopping for one problem or another. I had to find the manual online to decipher what each of the beap trouble sequences meant.

If you are disabled and can't clean your floor then this would be worth buying. But if you want a clean floor, and can do it yourself, this isn't so great. (Now the Roomba vacuum cleaner on the other hand, is a gift from God!)

I used to have the Romba scooba and it was awesome.  It died along time ago.  I went looking at the Roomba brava reviews before xmas and the reviews I saw that said the amount of cleanser used is a lot less, and it doesn't vacuum up either.  That turned me off.  If they bring back the scooba I definitely would get one.

I just watched the video of this device and the only thing I could see was it smearing some wet mess all over the floor.

Not-quite a Roomba lover.
