SmartBraava's NorthStar Navigation system works like an indoor GPS, helping Braava keep track of where its been and where it still needs to go. |
SimpleSimply attach a cloth, press the button for your desired mode and Braava gets to work. Then, when Braava is done cleaning, it returns to where it started and powers down - so you always know where to find it. |
CleanBraava cleans all hard-surface floors including tile, vinyl, hardwood, laminate, and more. Simply choose from two modes - dry sweeping or damp mopping - for the quick surface clean you want. |
NorthStar Navigation Cube
The NorthStar Navigation Cube projects a signal that Braava uses to determine its location. As Braava cleans, it uses this signal to build a map of the area, mapping walls, obstacles and drop-offs as it encounters them.
Turbo-Charge Cradle
Conveniently recharge Braava in just two hours with the Turbo Charge Cradle.
Cleaning Pads
Removable magnetic cleaning pads easily attach and detach from the bottom of the robot for easy cleaning cloth attachment. Includes the Pro-Clean Reservoir Pad for damp mopping, and the Multi-Purpose Cleaning Pad for dry sweeping and for use with disposable cleaning cloths.
Microfiber Cleaning Cloths
Braava 380t comes with two reusable microfiber cleaning cloths – one white dry sweeping cloth, and one blue damp mopping cloth. These microfiber cloths can be rewashed and reused hundreds of times. Or, use Braava with either dry or damp disposable cleaning cloths, including Swiffer brand.

Product description
Designed to mop floors quickly and efficiently, the new iRobot Braava Floor Mopping Robot systematically covers your entire floor in a single pass. Braava uses disposable or microfiber cleaning cloths to pick up dirt, hair and dust from all your hardsurface floors including tile, vinyl, hardwood and laminate. Just attach a cloth, set Braava down, press a button and off it goes, using advanced robotic technology to track where it's been and where it needs to go. It's whisper-quiet too, so you can go about your daily activities without disruption. The included Turbo Charge Cradle is a convenient, one-stop charging and storage space, charging Braava 380t in as fast as two hours. Braava uses either disposable cleaning cloths, including Swiffer brand, or reusable microfiber cloths to remove dirt, dust and hair from your floors so you don't have to. Braava has two cleaning modes to choose from depending on the job you need done. In sweep mode, Braava dry mops your floors moving in straight lines using dry cleaning cloths. In mop mode, Braava uses a special back-and-forth mopping action and damp cleaning cloths to lift surface dirt and grime off your floors. With the Pro-Clean System included in Braava 380t, a special Reservoir Cleaning Pad dispenses liquid throughout the cleaning cycle to keep the cloth damp. Cleaning cloths are easy to attach and remove with Braava's removable magnetic multi-purpose cleaning pad. The NorthStar Navigation System 2 works like an indoor GPS that helps Braava keep track of where it has been and where it needs to go. The NorthStar Navigation Cube projects a signal that Braava uses to determine its location. Additional NorthStar Navigation Cubes can be purchased for the Braava 380t to expand the robot's dry mopping capabilities for bigger homes. As Braava cleans, it builds a map of the area, mapping walls, obstacles and drop-offs as it encounters them. Do not spray, rinse or submerge it in water. Clean with a dry cloth only

There are some things which I want to address;
1) This will not do a 2000 square foot home in one go.
2) This will not eliminate the need to stop mopping all together.
Given the above, this is still a very handy little gadget. I have three dogs in my home, so unless I am mopping every single day (multiple times a day at that) my floors are always looking less than great. That being said, this little robot is great for maintenance between cleaning. I like to run it in the evenings, it is very quiet, if it did not beep when it requires my attention I would probably totally forget it is even on. It is a great time saving tool, instead of me having to go around and swiffer, or spot clean in between moppings, this does a well enough job to keep me satisfied.
It is very easy to use, you fill the tank, slap on a clean microfiber cloth, press a button and away it goes. Changing the cloth goes a long way to make sure your floors are not streaky, if you do not change the cloth and let it run with a dirty one, there will be streaks (this is common sense). For the price this is offered at, iRobot should include a couple extra cloths in there for you, but that's also not a big deal. Replacement cloths are easy to find and I purchased extra ones on Amazon.
I use a solution of water and vinegar in the tank, I have also tried Bona hardfloor cleaner, cannot visually tell the difference between the two in terms of cleaning but your wallet will. (sidenote: vinegar is not recommended by manufacturer so please use at your own risk, I have personally not yet encountered any negative effects by using a mixture of water and vinegar)
The cleaning pattern doesn't always make sense but that really does not bother me at all. I just run it and let it do it's thing. Overall I am happy with my purchase and will continue to use my little robot between cleanings.
It solved one issue. But I am still getting errors.
After several trials, I can pin point the following behaviour:
1. There are 6 beeps now. It used be 4. Then the robot will move to another spot, and shuts down.
2. I could randomly get 2-3 errors, and then the robot will be fine, and completes entire 20 min cycle without any issues.
3. The robot ONLY does that when it's in Mop Mode. It does NOT happen in SWEEP mode.
4. I tried new cleaning pad, and it still does that.
They keep on asking me to provide a video. However, the issue is very random and intermittent. Unless I walk over the robot for 30 minutes, I don't have any other way of capturing the video. They won't help me. I have 2 reports filed with them (181021-001117 / 181015-003417), and yet to find a resolution. I am not sure what to do. The robot should still be under warranty, but iRobot is just wasting my time with constant back-and-forth without any resolution.
Update: I provided them with a video, and answered all of their questions. They still haven't solved the issue. iRobot does NOT stand behind their product. They create disposable machines, hoping you either won't use them or give up when the eventually breaks.
Update (Nov 7): after a lot more back and forth, and wasted time... I finally received a new robot in the mail today... Guess what? The new robot is broken!!! Can you imagine? If you think you have better luck, then go ahead buy this POS. Otherwise, stay away from iRobot and their POS hardware.
Update#3: I had a total of three (3!) replacement Braava 380T robots shipped to me over 2 months. All 3 had issues even worse than the original robot. One came dead on arrival. Second had an issue with wheels and would go in circles. And third one would not charge. Including the original robot, I had a total of 4 non-functional robots. Just to make sure that I wasn't making it up or had some other sinister reason, I videotaped and sent all of the evidence to iRobot. I spent hours on the phone with them and troubleshooting. They have admitted that robots had issues. Regardless, it shows how bad their quality control is. 4 of 4 robots had issues. Good luck buying this robot, take your chances. They don't have any local support. They have outsourced their support base. Telephone agents are clueless, and read the script without bothering reading your file or listening to the actual program. The company don't care about afterservice or even bother replying to the reviews posted here. Buyer beware.
Update: After living with this for a while and using only in wet mode we are tempted to reduce to 3-star, except that it does exactly what one should expect and it is well built. So, let's say three and a half stars. The main issue is there is no suction, just damp mopping. So, if the floor is not already quite clean, it just pushes the dirt around. For example, spill some coffee and one can quickly see that the Braava does not actually pick it all up. Some is wicked up into the fibre pad to be sure, but the rest is just sort of spread over a larger area, creating the illusion of cleanliness, until one looks closely. To be effective, the Braava needs to be run much more often than the once a week we were doing, or it has to be repeatedly stopped and the mop head changed. or cleaned and put back. Some other floor mopping robots squirt a little water out then vacuum it up. If your floor will tolerate the additional moisture we suggest this would be a better option for households with kids and dogs.

First of all the unit is easy. You simply decide if you're wet mopping or dry dusting. I vacuum before I mop so I just let the roombas do their thing then I block off an area such as my dining room to mop with this unit. Then we get the reservoir attachment, add some water and a little swifter solution to the reservoir, a wet swifter pad and set it on the floor. I turn on the transmitter cube, and hit the water button for wet mop and it does the rest. I recommend placing the swifter so the green scratchy part is on the front just under the reservoir at the edge. That way you are lifting up all the tough spots and then hitting it with the microfiber after. This does an amazing job, the floors are shiny and nice, and the room smells great. (it helps if you really like the smell of the swifter)
Honestly with all the dust and stuff the roombas pick up and then the really dirty pad that comes back on this guy we feel the house so much cleaner. Actually looking at all the dust and dirt and dirty swifter pad makes us feel a little like we were living like animals before! (just something we joke about now) It really is astounding how much dust and dirt can build up in your house - especially with three kids. I would never have the time to vacuum and swifter my house every day but now I don't have to worry about that. I love to run the vacuums before and and the vacuums followed by this little guy right after a party. Nothing like getting the dishes washed and other things done while something else is doing all the mopping.
We also love to put on a clean wet swifter and send it into the kids bathroom. It goes where no man one wants to go and gets it all clean and smelling amazing. We have tile floors throughout the house so we just let do a room at a time and come back to throw away the pad. It does several rooms on a charge depending on the size of the room and the recharge is quite quick. You could a large home in a day at a couple of intervals while you're doing other things.
One time I came back from a trip to get some work done and my wife wasn't home for a couple of days. When she came back the place was spotless. (I have to confess all I did was change pads, recharge, and hit go for most of it.)
Pros:
- Set and forget it. Prep the room (pick up throw rugs, toys, or anything you would normally move out of the way for vacuuming), turn it on, leave.
- You can even run it at night - it is whisper quiet and won't leak even after it is finished and sitting in the same place for a while. We sometimes start it cleaning in the dining room while we sleep.
- Works with swifter wet or dry pads (can also use reusable pads)
- No need for floor cleaning chemicals - if you like wet swifters as much as we do - then you can use that but you could just do your own thing - like vinegar or whatever you want.
- Wet reservoir keeps the pad moist the whole time (try sneaking a little swifter solution in there)
- battery lasts a really long time and can do a large area
- charges quickly and is very easy to setup, maintain, and use daily
- quality build and good support
- can be used to dust really large area and can jump from one base unit to the next if you purchase a second (I got one but hardly need it - I say wait to buy the second to see if you really need it)
- does a great job - better than you would if you had to do this every day! (I just think I would lose the enthusiasm to "Edge" the room after I swifter each time.
- at the end of the job it will "edge" the space
- when the device is nearly done it will send off a tone - then return where it started and sound off a final musical tone. Love it.
Cons:
- navigation system has no way to "contain" it to one room. You need to shut the door, lay a chair in the floor, or use some other method to block it. We put our old swifter broom across an open entryway to block it into our kitchen. Seems a bit odd that such an amazing device can't work with infrared "walls".
- doesn't work well with throw rugs. will drive up on thinner throw rugs.
- you need to prep the room. just like vacuuming you need to get all the junk off the floor. This isn't really a con as you would have to do this no matter what but some people may have some vision that the mop has a robot arm and will straighten your house as well. Nope - it's job is to swifter or dust and it does it well.
- This is not an industrial mop - if you need that - get a different device like a scooba. We use this regularly and have found we don't even need to mop if we swifter regularly. You need to be the judge. little sticky drips from my two year old are not a problem but if my boys didn't listen and laid down a mud track through the house - I'd make them clean it and then send in the robot mop after to sanitize it.
My wife was against me buying this but I was barely able to convince her. She's not into electronics but even she loves it now and uses it regularly. If you're thinking about buying it -definitely get the black one - longer battery, quicker charge, and reservoir pad makes huge difference. Great buy. highly recommended.
Funciona excepcionalmente bien si se pone justo después de haber puesto una Roomba para barrer/aspirar el exceso de polvo, pelo, suciedad y basura pequeña como migajas, tierra, pedazos pequeños de papel, etc.
La carga dura para trapear dos habitaciones grandes, pero no se regresa sólo a su base para cargar: hay que moverlo a la base manualmente.
I bought it for my kitchen, which is large - about 300 sq. ft with white 12" tiles and white grout. (No, we didn't build it that way. We bought it that way. It is very pretty when kept up though so I can see why the original owner chose it.) We also live on an acreage in a rural area. We get dust because we live in a rural area with lots of farms. Keeping that white floor nice was a constant challenge. Until now.
I don't plan to use the Braava to damp mop our wood floors because I clean them with a solution made especially for wood floors. I do dry mop the wood floors with the Braava though.
I've been pleasantly surprised with how well the Braava is cleaning. I've only had her a couple of weeks but she is already a member of the family and I would feel a loss without her. My husband named her Mabel.
Knowing she was coming, I carefully cleaned the floor before she got here, to give here a good start. I had cleaned my floor on my hands and knees with a steam cleaner because that was the only way I could clean the dirt from the grout. So with that preparation before she came, I was completely surprised at how dirty the cleaning pad was after her first clean.
CLEANING GROUT: She moves easily across the grout and between tiles and does not get hung up. I thought that she might push dirt into the grout lines and make them look dirtier. That has definitely has not been the case. She seems to make those troublesome white grout lines look even better than I was doing them myself on my hands and knees. I'm very pleased with the cleaning of the white grout lines.
SOLUTION: Although I saw on Amazon that a cleaning solution can be purchased, I've just been using tap water. The water alone seems quite adequate. Even so, I have been spritzing the floor lightly with a weak Pine-Sol solution because I like the clean smell. I am not feeling a need to purchase anything else.
REPLACING A HUMAN: She does not totally replace a human, but she does an admirable job with a small amount of human care and assistance and has been keeping my white floor looking very nice. Actually, now I'm not sure I'll have to do much actual full-on mopping very often at all. It's a good idea to wipe up spills as they happen and before they dry though. She isn't very heavy so cannot scrub hard. She's really a damp mop, not a scrubber so if your floors are cluttered with "stuff" that would make it difficult for her to move around or if you neglect them regularly your experience might be different.
RESERVOIR: I'm very glad I got the 380t because it comes with a water reservoir to keep the pad wet. I would have been less satisfied, I think, if the reservoir didn't come with her. That said, the reservoir keeps the cleaning pad nicely damp, even in my large kitchen.and on hot days. I've not used warm water for cleaning at all -- it seems silly in a small reservoir that will cool quickly. The cool water is working well.
BATTERY: The fully charged battery cleans a l-o-n-g time. It really has lasted a full 2+ hours when damp mopping and 3+ hours when dust mopping. I was expecting the claim of a long charge to be hype but was wrong. I've very happy with how long a charge lasts. In fact, so far, it hasn't run out of enough charge to complete every task I've thrown at it
NOISE: The Braava is so quiet you could put her to work in the bedroom of a light sleeper and it would not wake the sleeper. Sometimes I still check on her to be sure she's still working because I can't hear her. There is almost no noise at all. You can easily keep the television or radio at normal sound while she's working.
DRY MOPPING: . Again, I am very pleased at the good job she does dry mopping my wood floors.. The Braava does not vacuum up the dirt but instead works like a dust mop. I was skeptical that it would be enough. She manages my cat's hair very well.. If you have debris on the floor, or the floor is badly cluttered with boxes, trash cans, and "stuff".she'll only be able to clean the areas she can reach and would probably leave paths around clutter she has to work around so you may be less happy with results. I have been equally as pleased with her dry mopping as with her damp mopping. In fact, I have a Neato I use for vacuuming. I had a Roomba but replaced it with a Neato. In my opinion I don't think there is any comparison - the Neato has it hands down, so I wasn't at all sure I'd be happy with the Braava because it's also an iRobot. As it turns out, I like the Braava better on my wood floors than I do the Neato. Again, I have been surprised. My Neato is wonderful on carpets though -- I wouldn't trade it. But now that I have used the Braava on my hardwood floors, I prefer using it there.
CLEANING PADS: Two cleaning pads come with the Braava. A white one for dust mopping and a blue one for damp mopping. They are very different from each other and really have been designed for different uses. The white cloth is very soft, something like what a baby would be if flannel and silk had a child and is without nubbies. The blue cloth has nubbies, almost like small kind-of stiff chenille fingers for cleaning. Initially I thought I would just use Swiffer cloths, or my own microfiber towels. After using the ones that came with my Braava, I've changed my mind. It's a matter of size and holding strips in the right places. The cloths that came do a very good job and adhere well. I'll be using the cloths that came with the Braava and will be a few buying extras.
OUT OF THE BOX: The instructions were easy to follow and there was very little setup. She even came fully charged so, eager as I was to try her out, I could put her right to work..
WALL EDGES: She cleans wall edges from an angle, rather than following straight along the wall. This is an area I think could be improved but for the most part it's good enough. The cleaning cloths are just enough wider than the pads, allowing them flex, that that they actually clean edges quite well..
FLOOR MAPPING: She cleans using short back-and-forth motions, slightly angled right one pass and slightly to the left on the next pass much as we might do if we were pushing a mop. Her movements around the room seem a little random and she seems to jump around the room, some, as she cleans. So far I haven't decided if she really goes back to missed areas, but she does it well enough that I can't tell for sure unless I'm watching a whole cycle. I've not watched long enough yet to know for sure.
PROBLEMS I'VE HAD: One problem I've encountered is that places under my cupboards are not equal distance from the floor in all places. There are 3 places under my cupboards where she gets stuck. When this happens, she sits and waits patiently for me and does not call for help so I have to discover her since she's so quiet I don't hear her cleaning. I haven't decided how to manage this problem yet. I'm thinking of getting hard sponge from the packing store, cutting it to size, and placing them strategically so she can't try to clean in the toe plate where she'll get stuck.
The other problem I've encountered is that there isn't quite enough elevation between the carpet in the dining room and the wood floor so she goes part way onto my very light-colored carpet with her soiled dust cloth. I don't like that. So far she'll only go a short distance (a few inches) and turns around and comes back to the wood floor.
SUMMARY:
I very happy with my little Braava 380t and can easily recommend it. It has made my life easier, is keeping my floors shining, and was a good purchase. I'd do it again.
