Hello, so here is the Mopping Challenge of every mopping robot that I have. Which one right for you? If you have any questions feel free to comment below, I usually respond within an hour or so 🤣.
So far so good with this vacuum. ruclips.net/user/postUgkx8ISPQRRAfpAaX4msGjyodObTBnlj4T5g I was a little concerned to find it seems to be all plastic, but the reviews were good, so I'm hoping for the best. Very easy to assemble Recommened, and only attachments I've used so far work well, and are easy to use. Doing a good job on the new carpet in my bedrooms and stairs. Works well on the hardwood on my main floor too. Reasonable weight and cord length. I already knew from an earlier review that it wouldn't fit under furniture, but I can use my Eufy for that, so no problem - the high traffic areas that need a stronger suction was really what I bought this for. If it continues as it's started, it will be a good buy and well worth the money. I have had two Shark Rocket stick vacs in the past that are super easy to use, but the motors just don't last well, even with scrupulous cleaning of the filters. I'm hoping for better with this Bissell.
Great video!! But the fact that after 4 previous cleanings the last robot still picked up so much dirt is just alarming lol 😂 just as if none of them ACTUALLY cleaned the floor or maybe it’s just that my expectations are too high 😆
Yeah most the mopping robots are designed for light mopping tasks, I have found the more times you run them the dirt and grime decreases significantly. I do recommend a full manual mopping from time to time
the last one was the Ilife 400. I have that one and you can definitely see dirty water when you empty the tank. I would buy it again. and no mop pads to keep buying.
@@cecilmcbee3939 I have had the 400 floor washer for over a year. And absolutely not the charging does not bother me. Love this machine. My entire house is rolled vinyl. Not planks, not tile. there is no issue with cleaning any grout.
I have an Ilife 400 and love it. no big deal to pick it up and put it back on charging station when done. only negative I have found is it cleans two 10 x 15 rooms and then should be put on charge. not a deal breaker tho. I also have 2 Ilife vacuums. boy am I lazy. but my floors are definitely pretty clean.
@@cecilmcbee3939 it can wash two 10 x 15 rooms Definitely, maybe more but then should be put on to recharge. Takes about 2 hours to charge. Then you can clean a couple more areas. I do different rooms each week. It doesn't automatically go back to charger but you have to clean it so pick it up, clean it, put it on charger.
it would be nice if they made a robot mop which has a larger reservoir of cleaning solution at its docking station so you don't have to refill it ver often
Hey Nathan just a heads up on the 240. It's recommended to start it in the left side of the room. It starts from left and works its way right so that might be what happened! 😊 Very informative video though thank you.
The only real mop robot in existence so far is the ILIFE Shinebot. This one actually has two water tanks, one with clean water and one where it collects dirty water, and uses a roller to clean instead of a mop. Mopping is not scrubbing, mopping is spreading the dirt on the floor.
Launch the iRobot Home App. Select the robot you want to delete if you have multiple robots linked to your account. Once you are in the Robot’s main Home Screen scroll down until you see Robot Settings. Than scroll down until you see Remove/Factory reset iRobot. This will allow you to remove the robot from the account.
I thought about taking notes about each robot to compare which one I want. Here are the notes if anyone is interested: Narwal - Watch other video Veniibot N1 - Easiest to use; just fill the water and leave it. Clean the pad once the robot is done. - Station cleans the pad automatically. - Live map tracking. - Can vaccum and/or mop. This is good because if it reaches a carpet it disable moping and vacuums only. - Newer products so there might be malfunctions. Maybe. Roborock S6 - Washable and disposable pads. - 2 water spraying settings to choose. - You can remove the mopping attachment if you don't want wet mopping. - Does not know the difference between hard floor and carpet; you have to manually remove the mopping attachment so it doesn't wet your carpet. - Do not use cleaning solution with this one beacause it would destory water droplets. - Good vacuum cleaner. - Very good navigation. Braava Jet m6 - Best one for deep cleaning because of back and forth mopping motion. - Designed for a larger area with larger pad and watertank. - Disposable pads. - Can spray water as it goes. - Automatic recharge. - Detects and avoids carpet. Braava Jet 240 - Cheaper but still with great features. - Smaller robot for smaller areas. - Bad navigation. - Vibrating mopping head. - Curved mopping pattern with back and forth motion. - Does not recognize carpets. - Manual battery charge on a seperate cradle. - Disposable pads. iLife w400 - Roller pad. - Noisy. - Manual recharching. - Works with its dedicated remote. - No wifi and no phone app capability.
The m6 didn't seem to mop very well. With the perfect light, it almost seemed like the pad absorbed all the solution not allowing a very good mop job, or it doesn't spray enough of the solution to get a nice spread on the mopping. There were dry spots every single pass, some of the dry spots were almost right in the middle of the pad. Are the washable pads much better, and do a better job then the disposable ones? I like the idea of the IRobot's where one vacuums then the other comes out to mop so you don't mix things. Like your previous video with the Veniibot and the ketchup, you don't want your extractors getting all the gooey goodness the mop wants. Though I guess that means you also buy 2 machines versus 1. Ups and downs to everything!
So the m6 didn’t perform well because I put the setting on extended coverage and less spray. The reason I wanted to do this is to give each robot the exact same cleaning pattern and time. The Roborock S6 and Veniibot will race through this area in 5 minutes where the m6 could take up to 30 minutes if I had it on detailed clean. Just from my experience the m6 can do the best in mopping if in the deep mode. Sorry for the confusion, once I get the s5 Max I will allow the m6 to do a detailed cleaning
@@RobotMasters No confusion, thanks for letting know the setting you used however. I can see why it takes a lot longer with how it works over the other brands, with the constant back and forth cleaning pattern. Looking forward to seeing the s5 max. Might be a deciding factor in what I get next when my current Roomba dies on me.
I can't seem to avoid streaks and tire marks with the m6. Different flow settings. Different pads. Different water temp. Different cleaning solutions. Even tried deep cleaning the floor before hand and it'll leave marks all over the floor. Worst part is irobot customer service is basically having me redo everything haha. I think imma buy the w400.
@@RobotMasters I hope so. At the very least having the mop behind the wheels might help. I have two big dogs that get the floor super dirty so maybe that's why the m6 can't keep up. Who knows, maybe I should try running tap water or filtered water.
@@rauldelgadillo8447 I have heard some users say distilled water helped and using the intensive cleaning mode helped. But having the wheels in front of the cleaning system does help.
I have been desperately trying to find a affordable self cleaning mop as I can not physically bend do to my disability, nor do I make a lot with disability . Is there affordable options ?
Hmmmm as of now the cheapest self cleaning mopping robot is the Narwal T10 amzn.to/3882LMS Unfortunately most are going to be over $500, haven’t seen one for less that has a self washing feature. You can get some cheaper self emptying robots, but don’t have the self washing feature.
Well it depends on what features you are looking for. For wet mopping aka liquid spills get the w400. For good vacuuming and mopping the Robrock is ideal. Lastly for the best mopping for stains the Braava Jet m6 is best.
petermazbabie all the new mopping robots are just robotic swiffers. They just push the dirt around. The only robotic floor washer that actually cleans - properly - was the Scooba line from iRobot, which was discontinued. But they performed FANTASTIC and picked up 99% of dirt and bacteria on the floor guaranteed. Since the scooba is no more, the iLife w400 is now the only robot currently on the market that lays down fresh cleaner, mechanically scrubs it, and vacuums and squeegees the dirty water into a separate tank. No other robotic “mop” on the market even remotely compares to this system. It’s a shame they discontinued the Scooba line, I still have one and it’s been going strong for 10 years now
Joe King That’s probably why they discontinued it when they made it they didn’t realize it was gonna last so long they need to make things cheaper so that they break quicker and people spend money.
petermazbabie... so they prefer to piss us off with unreliable robotic swiffers that break down in less than a year to piss off customers, basically ensuring they won’t buy an iRobot product again? because I bought a braava jet and it broke down within 6 months. I was LIVID. If they are charging $1000 for a floor washer you damnwell hope it lasts at least 10 years.
Hello Nathen what do you recommend for large area with a lot of foot traffic? My title floors need to be mopped on a daily and I am looking for a real work horse that deep cleans. Thank you
How well does the iLife navigate...do you find yourself constantly moving it to missed areas? I prefer the navigation of the vennibot / irobot M6 with the app etc. but the cleaning mechanics of the iLife seem more hygienic as your not dragging a dirty pad around.
The iLife w400 probably has one of the best navigation abilities interms of a robot that lacks a navigation camera and LIDAR system. Does well with obstacles and carpet detection. It best to clear the area to give the robot the best chance possible. The w400 has small wheels si it struggles on crevices and small thresholds. I agree with the cleaning system, I do like the separate Clean and Dirty Water tanks system with spinning brush roll and Vacuum.
Hello! I’m trying to decide btw the Braava Jet m6 vs 360 S7. I have all tile, single story home. Want something that will mop well. Would be great if it can be controlled through Alexa. What is your recommendation? Thank you!
Hello the Braava Jet m6 is a good mopping only robot. Does work with Alexa. Now if you want something that can vacuum and mop look at the Roborock S7 amzn.to/3osSVJc The mopping system vibrates and performed the best in vacuuming and mopping.
Oooo, I just watched ur review on the Roborock S7! Amazing! Would u say the S7 is currently the best out there right now? I want a smart vac/mop combo, excellent cleaning, self managed for the most part, not too costly to maintain (supplies, etc), doesn't malfunction. Even Alexa sometimes gives me attitude. I don’t need a “smart” vac who's going to work one day & decide to take vacation the next time I need it to run. 😏
@@sindieb.6839 LOL they all have an attitude 😮. Just kidding, I found the Roborock and iRobot to be the most reliable. You are going to pay more for the S7 but it one of the better cleaners out there.
I have already sent the product in service, but no improvement. After finishing the cleaning as scheduled, the BRAAVA JET M6 returns normally to the base.And here's the strange thing ... When it hooks up to the HOME BASE to recharge suddenly, the water pump starts for two seconds as if it wanted to spray ?? ? Nothing comes out anyway ... But has never had this strange functioning ?? Usually the floor cleaning robot leans on the charging surface and emits the classic sound while it flashes white and the pump remains off ... a problem with the software or the defective pump? Waiting Greetings
Sounds like a software glitch, try resetting the robot holding the home and spot clean button for 10 seconds. If under warranty iRobot might be able to fix it, if the problem still persists.
@@RobotMasters If they cannot repair because I have already sent them once and they have not solved the problem, do they have to replace the product with a new one? Has it been purchased from an authorized IROBOT dealer? The robot was purchased on 05/03/2020 ...
@@RobotMasters Congratulations on your RUclips channel. I always follow you when I can or when I present some news from Italy ... I decided to buy the robot after your review. Greetings from Italy
It depends on what type of mopping you are doing. For stubborn dirt and grime, the Braava M6 did the best. For wet spills the iLife w400 the best because of the seperate Fresh water tank and dirty water tank. For light duty mopping jobs all of the mopping robots can handle this.
I see some people complain about the ilife 400 not completely wetting the roller and sometimes the water doesn't spread at all. There's any other alternative like the ilife one? I'm looking for a robot that doesn't spread the dirt in all my room like those usual robots that you just attach a pad underneath.
Does the 240 come with a charger for the battery and how much for an extra battery to have on hand for when the first battery quits and you need the 240 to finish mopping.
The EU plug can be converted to US plus with a 5$ adapter or if you order through gearbest and contact them they should be able to provide the adapter free of charge. The EU and US version are the exact same minus the power prong type.
Well if you want the active camera to help it navigate objects or want the live camera streaming capabilities the S6 MaxV the ideal choice. Of you can forgo the camera features than you can save some money getting the S5 Max
How does the iLife clean? The mop looks like what Bissell uses on the Crosswave (which leaves a lot of streaks). But, for real floor cleaning, seems like the ones that periodically clean the mop head and put down / suck up solution would be the best. The Veniibot does those things, but it looked huge compared to the others and is an unknown in the US. Looking forward to your review of the S5 Max. Maybe with regular use, this kind of mop would be OK. Obviously, none of them are for heavy cleaning.
The iLife w400 uses the same cleaning principle as a Carpet Cleaner. Puts down water on the floor, uses the water to clean and help remove stains off the floor using the spinning brush. Sucks up dirty liquid than finishes up with a scraper to get an even cleanup. The iLife is designed for wet mopping jobs. The S5 Max delayed stuck in DHL warehouse in Hong Kong.
are vee You can pickup the S5 Max through Amazon for $600. GearBest is sending me one to review, but DHL has a hold on it. Working with then to get everything straightened out.
The Braava Jet 240 didn't clean half of the walkway because you're supposed to set it on the back left side of the room before starting it, not the middle.
Bought the i life 400 ,,Love it does a really nice job,,That squeaking noise you hear on first start up,,Is the squeegee,,Its dry but few seconds later it will stop after water is applied by mop.. not bigg deal ,It does pick up what other mops leave behind..Only draw back i have found is on large texture tile..The bot has hard time getting traction on such surfaces along with squeegee holding it back ,, ON flat smooth tile not a problem.Over all i think its great
Yes that the squeegee, the robot good for those wet spills. I did notice on the crack of tiles the wheels get hung up. Glad the robot working out for you 👍🏻
@@RobotMasters yes had same issue with grout lines and textured tile with traction ,,i have notified i life about issues i found,, i really see this mop bot getting better in short amount of time ,,,If i life takes the comments , i have sent,, Pluss your videos,, Good job on videos too,, keep it up..
Thank you for informative video. Have you used and reviewed the ihome Nova 2 in 1 with self emptying base? Is there a website to shop for robo vacs that allows you to shop by/filter on features i.e. mop & vac, bagless emptying bin, mapping?
Thanks haven’t had a chance to review the Nova 2 in 1. If the company reaches out to me I will. The best places I go are Amazon and the official websites for replacement filters and other things.
So after 4 robot mops ran directly after each other, the 5th one still picked up all that dirty water? Is that just saying the other 4 mops are actually not mopping that well, and the iLife works best?
I got irobot scooba and i was loving that but it damaged by using lot of super strong detergent ! unfortunatly its not available any more so i choose ilife w400 because i feel scrubing method robot is a lot more effective than pad moping robot !
Hey can you recommend a robot for me? I have a 4 year old Irobot 760 (will keep, no app access ) but its a bit too loud and route is too scattered. Size: 2000 sqft 1 level all hardwood floor and tile in bathroom, no carpet. Which robot has best value? I need one that is smart with clear route, do a great job in mopping but also has vacuuming feature . Prefer those ones that clean the cloth itself while mopping and has warranty coverage in North America. Can you include Narwal in consideration? Thanks :)
Hmm there only a couple that I know of that has the self cleaning mopping capabilities. Those are the Narwal and Venibot N1 which I covered on this channel. Both robots are ok at mopping and vacuuming. My best recommendation if you want the best performance and mopping is the S5 Max amzn.to/34JqkHA You will need to wash the mopping pad after each use, but I found this robot to have the best performance.
It's hard to say. Maybe the floor was really dirty before hand. I don't have a robo mop yet but I have a robo vaccum and in my experience they work best if you run them almost every day. If they're used to maintain a clean floor and not once a week to do a major cleanup then they will keep the floor clean.
Primitivo Reyes Aguilar Hmmmmm hard to say for sure, the 240 has the vibrating mopping pad, but the m6 has the additional weight to help apply pressure on the area. Both have the same mopping pattern. I would say the 240 can reach more areas due to the smaller size, but the m6 can cover more ground quicker because of the larger mopping pad.
Most of the mopping robots can't transition over any type of threshold which includes the Braava Jet 240, my, iLife w400. The Roborock S6 and Veniibot N1 can transition over quarter inch thresholds no problem.
There're also few dedicated mopping robots are missing here for the battle to become thorough: xiaomi swdk robot, xiaomi bobot, everybot 700 or edge (whatever is available in states)
LOL I like the way you put your finger on your cheek . like the comparison If the I life have navigation it should be the best . but I am not sure if it is good for hardwood floor
I have a Sharky 101AE, which is excellent for vacuuming, and I really like the self emptying feature, and a Roomba M6, which is excellent for mopping. My fantasy is to have one unit, that vacuums and mops AND self empties both. Is that asking too much?
Hello, so here is the Mopping Challenge of every mopping robot that I have. Which one right for you? If you have any questions feel free to comment below, I usually respond within an hour or so 🤣.
Please
Hi, can I ask which one is the quietest? And what about the volume of brava jet m6?
@@rosarosa3048 The Braava m6 is probably the quietest, all you hear os the sprayer, when it puts solution down. In dry mopping mode it very quiet.

Well it depends on what features you are looking for. For wet mopping aka liquid spills get the w400. For good vacuuming and mopping the Robrock is ideal. Lastly for the best mopping for stains the Braava Jet m6 is best.
I have the iRobot Braava 240 and it's great as it fits into small spaces or if you only have hard floors.
Can you use other pads or does it have to be the IROBOT?
What is the best mop in your opinion? Please
My Top picks are the ilife w450, Braava Jet m6 and the S7 for a good hybrid mopping and vacuuming robot.
the fact that the glass of water was still so dirty after the other robots mopped troubles me haha
LOL either the w400 did an Amazing Job 😁 or the other mopping robots were sleeping 😴 on the job 🙂

Hahaha only need 12 mopping robots to keep them clean 😃
petermazbabie all the new mopping robots are just robotic swiffers. They just push the dirt around. The only robotic floor washer that actually cleans - properly - was the Scooba line from iRobot, which was discontinued. But they performed FANTASTIC and picked up 99% of dirt and bacteria on the floor guaranteed. Since the scooba is no more, the iLife w400 is now the only robot currently on the market that lays down fresh cleaner, mechanically scrubs it, and vacuums and squeegees the dirty water into a separate tank. No other robotic “mop” on the market even remotely compares to this system. It’s a shame they discontinued the Scooba line, I still have one and it’s been going strong for 10 years now
Joe King WoW hopefully the Scooba comes back 😀
Joe King That’s probably why they discontinued it when they made it they didn’t realize it was gonna last so long they need to make things cheaper so that they break quicker and people spend money.
petermazbabie... so they prefer to piss us off with unreliable robotic swiffers that break down in less than a year to piss off customers, basically ensuring they won’t buy an iRobot product again? because I bought a braava jet and it broke down within 6 months. I was LIVID. If they are charging $1000 for a floor washer you damnwell hope it lasts at least 10 years.
Are there robot steam mops?
Not that I know of.
Hey, great video. Although, this video is over a year old, I can’t seemed to find a link for the Veniibot N1?
Here the only link I have amzn.to/2WXO4Tk
They are hard to come by.
Hello Nathen what do you recommend for large area with a lot of foot traffic? My title floors need to be mopped on a daily and I am looking for a real work horse that deep cleans. Thank you
Probably the Braava Jet m6 is the best mopping robot with the best performance so far.
Narwal vs t8+ Clean & Clear?????
How well does the iLife navigate...do you find yourself constantly moving it to missed areas? I prefer the navigation of the vennibot / irobot M6 with the app etc. but the cleaning mechanics of the iLife seem more hygienic as your not dragging a dirty pad around.
The iLife w400 probably has one of the best navigation abilities interms of a robot that lacks a navigation camera and LIDAR system. Does well with obstacles and carpet detection. It best to clear the area to give the robot the best chance possible. The w400 has small wheels si it struggles on crevices and small thresholds.
I agree with the cleaning system, I do like the separate Clean and Dirty Water tanks system with spinning brush roll and Vacuum.
@@RobotMasters thanks, I'll probably go for this or wait for the narwal to come out...really enjoy your videos btw, proper fan over here haha
Hello! I’m trying to decide btw the Braava Jet m6 vs 360 S7. I have all tile, single story home. Want something that will mop well. Would be great if it can be controlled through Alexa. What is your recommendation? Thank you!
Hello the Braava Jet m6 is a good mopping only robot. Does work with Alexa. Now if you want something that can vacuum and mop look at the Roborock S7 amzn.to/3osSVJc
The mopping system vibrates and performed the best in vacuuming and mopping.
Oooo, I just watched ur review on the Roborock S7! Amazing! Would u say the S7 is currently the best out there right now?
I want a smart vac/mop combo, excellent cleaning, self managed for the most part, not too costly to maintain (supplies, etc), doesn't malfunction. Even Alexa sometimes gives me attitude. I don’t need a “smart” vac who's going to work one day & decide to take vacation the next time I need it to run. 😏
@@sindieb.6839 LOL they all have an attitude 😮. Just kidding, I found the Roborock and iRobot to be the most reliable. You are going to pay more for the S7 but it one of the better cleaners out there.
Thank you Nathan! I will pick one up. Excited!
@@sindieb.6839 Sounds good, if you have any issue or questions you know where to find me 🤗
Which one leaves less marks ? Do you have any idea
The Roborock S5 Max, and iLife w400 leave the least tire marks.
I have already sent the product in service, but no improvement. After finishing the cleaning as scheduled, the BRAAVA JET M6 returns normally to the base.And here's the strange thing ... When it hooks up to the HOME BASE to recharge suddenly, the water pump starts for two seconds as if it wanted to spray ?? ? Nothing comes out anyway ... But has never had this strange functioning ?? Usually the floor cleaning robot leans on the charging surface and emits the classic sound while it flashes white and the pump remains off ... a problem with the software or the defective pump? Waiting Greetings
Sounds like a software glitch, try resetting the robot holding the home and spot clean button for 10 seconds. If under warranty iRobot might be able to fix it, if the problem still persists.
@@RobotMasters If they cannot repair because I have already sent them once and they have not solved the problem, do they have to replace the product with a new one? Has it been purchased from an authorized IROBOT dealer? The robot was purchased on 05/03/2020 ...
@@supermariobroswonder-v7d Yeah usually iRobot sends a replacement if they can't fix it. I would try to get a replacement.
@@RobotMasters Congratulations on your RUclips channel. I always follow you when I can or when I present some news from Italy ... I decided to buy the robot after your review. Greetings from Italy
@@supermariobroswonder-v7d Thanks 😇
Whats the Winner just for mopping (floor washing)? Ilife w400? Only this one has one compartment for dirty water.
It depends on what type of mopping you are doing. For stubborn dirt and grime, the Braava M6 did the best. For wet spills the iLife w400 the best because of the seperate Fresh water tank and dirty water tank. For light duty mopping jobs all of the mopping robots can handle this.
Hey dude how much room does have you got in the past because like if you're going to be selling out Roomba soon I will but not if they cost money
So for me it the Wife limiting my accumulation of robots 🤖. I am only allowed a handful at a time. I usually sell the other ones at a good discount.
I see some people complain about the ilife 400 not completely wetting the roller and sometimes the water doesn't spread at all. There's any other alternative like the ilife one? I'm looking for a robot that doesn't spread the dirt in all my room like those usual robots that you just attach a pad underneath.
From what I tested the best performing mopping robot is the iRobot Braava Jet m6
Where we can buy this
Which model?
What do you think about the irobot braava 380t?
So whats your conclusion?
It depends on what you are looking for. For wet mopping the iLife is the best. The Braava Jet performed the best overall.
I have to find that ILife model that has a dirty water resevoir. All the rest are mere swiffers.
It called the iLife w450, there also ones that self clean there mopping pads like the Narwal T10, Veniibot H10 or the Yeedi Mop Station
What sucks about robot mopping. They cant navigate preciely along carpets. It miss spots when rising and lowering the mop at wrong time late or early.
Any spinning pad models that you would recommend?
Hmm the Narwhal if you can find one not too bad.
Can robot vacuum and mop be working in the same at the same time?
Yes most hybrid Vacuum/Mopping robots can perform both simultaneously.
@@RobotMasters I think he meant- can the roomba S9 and braava M6 work simultaneously?
@@dahbay5801 Oh my bad, yes they can both work independently at the same time.
Does the 240 come with a charger for the battery and how much for an extra battery to have on hand for when the first battery quits and you need the 240 to finish mopping.
HAPPY NEW YEAR! 2020 YAY
Thanks 2020 will be a good year 🤣🤣🥳🥳🥳
The link you provided for roborock 5S Max has EU plug only. Do you have one for US?
The EU plug can be converted to US plus with a 5$ adapter or if you order through gearbest and contact them they should be able to provide the adapter free of charge. The EU and US version are the exact same minus the power prong type.
Robot Masters Thank you!
where is the coupon? Now it sows it’s $469.
@@poihannah It was a limited promotion, $469 still a descent price, Amazon selling it for $600
Robot Masters thank you so much for responses and review! Nice video!
With the s5 max we get water streaks , it doesn’t seem to mop well like in your video where water seems evenly spread. Any ideas?
I recommend Pre wetting the mopping pad. Also the New mopping pads have been improved.
I have s5 max too. we always use it at its max water setting and prewet the pad.
I'm interested to buy the S6 Maxv does the S5 Max is better? Thank you.
Well if you want the active camera to help it navigate objects or want the live camera streaming capabilities the S6 MaxV the ideal choice. Of you can forgo the camera features than you can save some money getting the S5 Max
Hey I loved this I am about to hit the subscribe button
Please Do 😇😇😇
@@RobotMasters i just did :D, and I’m glad i did
How does the iLife clean? The mop looks like what Bissell uses on the Crosswave (which leaves a lot of streaks). But, for real floor cleaning, seems like the ones that periodically clean the mop head and put down / suck up solution would be the best. The Veniibot does those things, but it looked huge compared to the others and is an unknown in the US. Looking forward to your review of the S5 Max. Maybe with regular use, this kind of mop would be OK. Obviously, none of them are for heavy cleaning.
The iLife w400 uses the same cleaning principle as a Carpet Cleaner. Puts down water on the floor, uses the water to clean and help remove stains off the floor using the spinning brush. Sucks up dirty liquid than finishes up with a scraper to get an even cleanup. The iLife is designed for wet mopping jobs. The S5 Max delayed stuck in DHL warehouse in Hong Kong.
@@RobotMasters S5 Max still isn't available in the US?
are vee You can pickup the S5 Max through Amazon for $600. GearBest is sending me one to review, but DHL has a hold on it. Working with then to get everything straightened out.
Imagine wiping the entire floor of your house with a tiny terry cloth then driving remote control toy cars over the wet floor
Suprised the braava 380t wasn't here, seems to be one of the most common
Cool Video
I like it👍🏻
Thanks, looking to improve my videos never ending cycle 🤣
Hi all, so finally which robot can clean the joints between the tiles. Normally wet pad mopping robot cleanning everyday will leave the joints dirty!.
Thanks this helped a lot
You're the best
The Braava Jet 240 didn't clean half of the walkway because you're supposed to set it on the back left side of the room before starting it, not the middle.
Thanks for letting me know, I forgot about putting the robot in the back left
Bought the i life 400 ,,Love it does a really nice job,,That squeaking noise you hear on first start up,,Is the squeegee,,Its dry but few seconds later it will stop after water is applied by mop.. not bigg deal ,It does pick up what other mops leave behind..Only draw back i have found is on large texture tile..The bot has hard time getting traction on such surfaces along with squeegee holding it back ,, ON flat smooth tile not a problem.Over all i think its great
Yes that the squeegee, the robot good for those wet spills. I did notice on the crack of tiles the wheels get hung up. Glad the robot working out for you 👍🏻
@@RobotMasters yes had same issue with grout lines and textured tile with traction ,,i have notified i life about issues i found,, i really see this mop bot getting better in short amount of time ,,,If i life takes the comments , i have sent,, Pluss your videos,, Good job on videos too,, keep it up..
This is so cool I wonder how my dog would react to one of these robots
Great video!
Thanks 🤭
Hello, could you please check iRobot Braava Jet m6 dock station either does it support 220v voltage or not?
I will check later tonight
Robot Master any news?:)
Artem Berdnykov Oh yeah it does, the i7 and s9 self emptying doesn’t though.
Robot Master thank you very much! Your channel is awesome!
Artem Berdnykov No problem, Thank You
Thank you for informative video. Have you used and reviewed the ihome Nova 2 in 1 with self emptying base? Is there a website to shop for robo vacs that allows you to shop by/filter on features i.e. mop & vac, bagless emptying bin, mapping?
Thanks haven’t had a chance to review the Nova 2 in 1. If the company reaches out to me I will. The best places I go are Amazon and the official websites for replacement filters and other things.
We got the 240 for Christmas. Is there anyway to start the spot clean directly from that device?
Yes through the app you can enable the spot clean function
Co wybrać: viomi v3 czy s5max?
So after 4 robot mops ran directly after each other, the 5th one still picked up all that dirty water? Is that just saying the other 4 mops are actually not mopping that well, and the iLife works best?
Yeah, they are designed for light dusting. Struggle with tougher stains.
I got irobot scooba and i was loving that but it damaged by using lot of super strong detergent ! unfortunatly its not available any more so i choose ilife w400 because i feel scrubing method robot is a lot more effective than pad moping robot !
where can you get a veniibot
You can find it here: amzn.to/2Aa2xUh
Hey can you recommend a robot for me? I have a 4 year old Irobot 760 (will keep, no app access ) but its a bit too loud and route is too scattered. Size: 2000 sqft 1 level all hardwood floor and tile in bathroom, no carpet. Which robot has best value? I need one that is smart with clear route, do a great job in mopping but also has vacuuming feature . Prefer those ones that clean the cloth itself while mopping and has warranty coverage in North America. Can you include Narwal in consideration? Thanks :)
Hmm there only a couple that I know of that has the self cleaning mopping capabilities. Those are the Narwal and Venibot N1 which I covered on this channel. Both robots are ok at mopping and vacuuming. My best recommendation if you want the best performance and mopping is the S5 Max amzn.to/34JqkHA
You will need to wash the mopping pad after each use, but I found this robot to have the best performance.
I would like to see the bissell spinwave to compare
I might review and do a comparison if I get offered one to review.
nice floors!
Thanks 😊
"See how dirty the water is. And that's after all four robots cleaned the room."
So they're basically crappy 🤔
It's hard to say. Maybe the floor was really dirty before hand. I don't have a robo mop yet but I have a robo vaccum and in my experience they work best if you run them almost every day. If they're used to maintain a clean floor and not once a week to do a major cleanup then they will keep the floor clean.
There’s actually something called the switch but you can actually put that on the iLife Remote
Hi Robot Masters, my house 1220 Sqft house I need a good mopping robot for daily mopping without charging many times and silent also
Thanks.
I would recommend the Braava Jet m6, according to my testing the m6 performed the best as a dedicated mopping robot.
@Robot Masters thanks
Nice reviews, but which one would you choose? Which is best for you?
Probably the Braava Jet M6
braava jet 240 with extended battery cleans better than m6 a large area
Primitivo Reyes Aguilar Hmmmmm hard to say for sure, the 240 has the vibrating mopping pad, but the m6 has the additional weight to help apply pressure on the area. Both have the same mopping pattern. I would say the 240 can reach more areas due to the smaller size, but the m6 can cover more ground quicker because of the larger mopping pad.
iRobot should make a self filling base for the m6
That will be cool 😎
I think a automatic pad cleaner would be more practical but still a nice idea
Aside from the Roborock S6, which one climbs thresholds on the level when you don't have to babysit it while the robot is running?
Most of the mopping robots can't transition over any type of threshold which includes the Braava Jet 240, my, iLife w400. The Roborock S6 and Veniibot N1 can transition over quarter inch thresholds no problem.
@@RobotMasters Ah ok, thought so. Happy new year btw :) Any chance you are going to be at CES 2020?
Smart Robot Reviews Happy New Years!!! No I am not going to be at CES 🤔😞. Maybe someone will invite me 😂. Are you going to be there?
@@RobotMasters Unfortunately no, would love to be there tho :)
There're also few dedicated mopping robots are missing here for the battle to become thorough: xiaomi swdk robot, xiaomi bobot, everybot 700 or edge (whatever is available in states)
Yeah there sooo many models out there, I will do my best to bring new dedicated mopping robots once I am able to get them.
@@RobotMasters thanks a lot. I subscribed to your channel. Your real life reviews are awesome
can you ever see about doing a review on the coral one 2in1 robot vacuum that is also a handheld vacuum?
It might be a while, I have a few robots that I plan to review this year.
Do you still own one of them?
Just the Braava Jet 240
Guess it’s the best one to get.
LOL I like the way you put your finger on your cheek . like the comparison If the I life have navigation it should be the best . but I am not sure if it is good for hardwood floor
Hahaha thanks, they say that pose makes me look smarter 🤔🤣
I have a Sharky 101AE, which is excellent for vacuuming, and I really like the self emptying feature, and a Roomba M6, which is excellent for mopping. My fantasy is to have one unit, that vacuums and mops AND self empties both. Is that asking too much?
Yes for now that to much LOL. I would like to see a robot vacuum transition up and down stairs for people with multiple levels 😮
I’d hate to see the size of that robot, no matter how much power you can fit you can’t replace the need for a water container
Yeah it a little large, can’t fit under furniture or couches. The best solution is the m6 with its on board water tank and spray
isn't it faster to just use a Swiffer?
Yes, but the convince of mopping your floors while you are away 🤩
Right one for me...Roborock S5 Max
Good choice 👍🏻
It would be cool they heated the water to be more effective
Yeah that actual a good ideal.
Warm water is actually not recommended to clean hardwood floors, it wears out your finish quicker and more likely to damage slightly exposed parts.
