I deep clean the floors twice a month with promises that I will maintain it in between and I never do. Recently recovering from knee surgery I purchased this and the Roomba and the two together are saving me so much time and work I will never go without them for the rest of my life.
Amazing product. It replace my Bona completely. It clean in tile and also in wood floor. Fabulous product for anyone with kids or simply laziness to cleaning.
@@SA-eh5gd you must use: irobot bona cleaning solutuon. In 2022 they switch from the mixing formula to a gallon of floor cleaner. 1 for wood floor and 1 for tile surfaces.
Thank you for everything that you do! You make it so much easier. I'm a research hound for any purchase -- and you make it so easy to the find the info I really need.
It will be a problem for replacing pads though, which is where all the dirt goes to. Maybe a base that also self cleans the pads by spraying water and scrubbing it with a spinning brush?
@@atomstarfireproductions8695 that should be very big mabye one that just replaces the pad with s new one and put the use ones in a competent for you to clean or throw them out after
Do you have to map the house out or can you put it down & it mop that room three first time perfectly fine then carry it to another room and it mop that the first time without a lot of setup?
Questions left unanswered: Does it work with the 980? If so, how? Also, is there any detergent in the water or just water. And, what about the space between tiles? It cant clean that or can it?
Have you tested this to see how easily it goes over doorway transitions? I have a tile bathroom floor with a transition between that in the hardwood. I'm wondering if it will think it's hitting a rug and not climb over it. The current braava mop I have does not.
I will not. I got m6, have same problem - hardwood around the house and tiles in bathroom, there is small gap (like 5mm) fillet with silicone, it is few mm difference in height (I think 2-3mm). M6 went through first 3 times, now it doesn't want to go there. It is nearly entering bathroom and goes back. It pisses me off because if I want m6 to mop bathroom have to carry it there and after it can't find base so have to carry it back. What is interesting it has no problem leaving bathroom, only entering. Any solutions?
Hello, there are 2 area of the hardwood/composite floor on the first floor of my house. The foyer and the kitchen, which are separated by the living room carpet. Will this present an issue in the way that this mopping robot will not cross the carpet area from the kitchen to the foyer? thank you.
I picked up the i7 a few months ago and love it. But I’m wondering if I’m able to see the cleaning paths like you show at 5:14 on the left. How do you see that for robot vacuums?
@@HaileyRoss22 I actually love mine! I have tile in the whole house so at first it only cleaned half the house with full battery and full tank but boy does it do a great job!!! Now, that it knows the house and cleans more often it will clean the whole house in about an hour. The cleaning solution can get a lil pricey for me but it's well worth it. House smells good and spotless. It really digs in there lol so no more hands and knees on floor scrubbing. I highly recommend. The only thing is that it doesn't sweep and I wish it did. But I got a vacuum for that no lol and it works wonder too! It's bissel pet hair one and pick up eveeything
Question, can it go OVER a carpeted area to get to a hardwood area? Example: Your living room or dining area is between the tile kitchen and hardwood bedroom. Can it pass over the carpeted areas to get to the non-carpet ones?
It navigates around carpet but doesn't travel over. Look into the Roborock S7. It will lift up the mop pad to travel over areas - ua-cam.com/video/-O7K4oerR4E/v-deo.html
You want to give it a big changle try dried on egg. Its all protein and will stick to glass like glue. Heard something about threshold it can go over them if chosen to
iRobot says, "Your Braava jet m6 is designed to navigate over thresholds that are 3mm or less, due to its need to maintain contact between the pad & the floor. Thresholds larger than 3mm may cause navigation difficulties. It may be best to relocate your base to a new area."
do i have to add water and change pad every day if its scheduled to turn on every day or can it go several days before needing to be changed and refilled? (will it alert you when it needs to be changed/filled?)
Bought an M6 a couple weeks ago. Does a decent job but the M6 is the dumb brother to the S9 vacuum. Wonders around like it is lost when it starts a job, cannot go up and over any small lip of tile or transition strip and it took 5 times for it to map our house. The Roomba s9 is smart and quick. M6 fumbles around, needs help more often, but eventually gets things done. I am glad we got it, but wish it was as smart and efficient as the Roomba.
Hi! You should take down the other video because too many will see the other video and think that the m6 can’t identify carpets. Also, HOW did you find out about the Keep Out Zones???????
Do you think it would be a bad idea to use the Braava exclusively if I only had hardwood floors? Don't do any vacuuming at all... Would it just push the big stuff around?
Hey all, bought the m6. After the dry trainingruns id like to clean wet but it is somehow stuck with "fill the tank".. Already tried shaking the tank and the sensor is free floating.. Rebooting also didnt help
It is supposed to be vibrating the pads left and right? I put my finger on the edge of the pad ( that is protruding the robot) and there didn't seem to be any vibrations. I ask this because I've never felt the robot has done a good job at cleaning. I just spreads water around the floor.
Also, if the robot doesn't clean by vibrating but rather moving forwards and backwards, have you tried weighing it down to put more pressure on the scrubbing? ( I might try adding some adhesive steel weights for car wheels)
Can you do a whole mopping robot series like you didn't with the robot vacuums??? I need to know which one to get to go along with my robot vacuum to achieve ultimate lazy dream.
Will it go over a carpet area to find the next flooring section? Like my kitchen and diningroom are separeated from the main entrance by part of the living room carpet.
It navigates around carpet but doesn't travel over. Look into the Roborock S7. It will lift up the mop pad to travel over areas - ua-cam.com/video/-O7K4oerR4E/v-deo.html
Patricia Torres yeah it does. The 980 cannot clean a particular room, but the m6 can clean the whole floor plan or individual rooms after the 980 is done. A feature that’s missing from the 980 and s9 is sending the mop after a scheduled clean. Maybe i just can’t find it, but on the app I can schedule the roomba to clean everyday, but it doesn’t have the mopping option through scheduling. So I schedule the s9 the clean every morning at 9am and the m6 is scheduled every Monday and Friday morning at 10am. I just made sure to give the vacuum enough time to finish before the mop does its thing.
It doesn't, but you can set "no go" zones so it avoids carpet. There is a new robot vacuum coming out any day now, the Roborock S7 that has the feature you are looking for.
I understand it avoids carpet but can it travel from my hardwood floor kitchen onto and over my carpeted hallway and into the hardwood floor bedroom and bathrooms?
Your videos are informative, honest and well made. We would like you to make a review about "mop+ vacuum robot" . There are only few available "mop+ vacuum robots" Narwal is one we know. But please make a video on this soon.
well if you really want to use this for a big house you have to let it run daily, because there is only so much dirt a single small mopping pad can handle. having to use it on a daily basis takes some effort and for the price i think the hizero mop is the by far better alternative.
Keep out zones for robots will be awesome. The only thing that still has me worried about my s9 is the extractors being ripped up too easy. Could be from the extractors being on the front and hitting objects way easier than the center. Already went through one pair, but to iRobot support teams credit they did replace. Still an issue and I may have to rethink my purchases that I already made.
Would be nice to know if theres any benefit to having a 980 and this one. Or did Irobot completely forget its 980 customers? Also what liquid can you use? Soap? Water alone I don´t see being very helpful...
Just bought an M6 I'm not sure where to ask for help yet. Does anyone have a solution for connecting the hardwood floors in their house? I was hoping they could drive on the carpet to my bathroom 😵

Having a channel called vacuum wars, your floors must look impeccable the whole time!
I deep clean the floors twice a month with promises that I will maintain it in between and I never do. Recently recovering from knee surgery I purchased this and the Roomba and the two together are saving me so much time and work I will never go without them for the rest of my life.
I'm so glad you are happy with them!
The rug avoid feature explains why it goes forward, backs up and then sprays. That keeps it from spraying an area it hasn't checked out yet.
Brilliant, I'm sure you are right.
Or your really expensive speakers.
It also does it for walls so that it doesn’t end up spraying your walls with water.
@@KevlarCondom lol
Whoa so I'm not weird for watching these vacuum videos. You're watching too. Alright then crisis averted. Liking the videos so far!
Awesome video. Nice work!

Amazing product. It replace my Bona completely. It clean in tile and also in wood floor. Fabulous product for anyone with kids or simply laziness to cleaning.
Is using the Bono wood floor cleaner ok to use straight or do you have to dilute it?
@@SA-eh5gd you must use: irobot bona cleaning solutuon. In 2022 they switch from the mixing formula to a gallon of floor cleaner. 1 for wood floor and 1 for tile surfaces.

Can’t wait for that… with cooking options though

You are so welcome! Thank you for watching!
I Love you
Amazing review ! Clear, scientific method applied and then convinced me to buy one 🙂
So glad it was helpful!
Love the new keep out zone feature, my i7 no longer gets stuck under the dishwasher!
we want to see if the Braava M series is still better than the combo J9+. Interesting to see!
Will this mop go to other rooms over carpet. Like from kitchen to entry way.. both hard wood.. but living room has carpet which is in between
It mops the whole time, it will spray the carpet to my understanding
It doesn't pick up for carpet.
I am very impressed with your time lapse of the floor coverage? How do you do that?!?!!! :)
it seems he puts white tape on the robot and masks it in his video editing software
what do you do about the upper floor? can you move it up there or do you have to buy a second dock for upstairs?
thank you for the important updated. it changed my view on this mop robot
The next model should automatically fill the water tank when it's empty
Fixing Master I think changing the pad somehow will be nicer. The tank can always just be bigger inside the robot
Narwhal bot looks interesting on that idea. They have a patent that will hold refill up for decades.
@@KevlarCondom can you send me the link to this patent

thanks for the review-- question though- thus the dry pad kinda works like a vacuum that picksup dirt??
Do you have to map the house out or can you put it down & it mop that room three first time perfectly fine then carry it to another room and it mop that the first time without a lot of setup?
Will this mop give you a detailed account of all its health and back problems every time it mops??
your wife does that too, eh? 😂
Is that the small mop and little capacity of water tank are sufficient to clean the entire house
Thank you for the review. I’m curious how this mop would react to a rug.
This is yet another great review! Thank you so much for doing these!
Thanks so much!
How has Consumer Reports not hired you as a correspondent yet?
I think he rejected their offer haha
As a former subscriber to Consumer Reports, Consumer Reports sucks ass. These videos are much better than what they have to offer.
Vacuum wars stays strictly independent and non bias. Consumer reports has been seeming to have a strong bias towards certain companies and brands.
Fantastic! Thank you! I have a choice between the M6 or the mop/vacuum combo i5 and I think I’ll get the M6
We think you’ll really enjoy it!
Yay! Thank you!! 🎉
Can this do multiple rooms like living room bed room kitchen

just for your info the 960 works with the m6
it will ask you if you want to vacume first
Excellent testing!!
But how well does it work on uneven tile surfaces?
You want to give it a big changle try dried on egg. Its all protein and will stick to glass like glue. Heard something about threshold it can go over them if chosen to
Maybe I missed it but does it go over transition pieces, like between the kitchen tile and hardwood living room?
iRobot says, "Your Braava jet m6 is designed to navigate over thresholds that are 3mm or less, due to its need to maintain contact between the pad & the floor. Thresholds larger than 3mm may cause navigation difficulties. It may be best to relocate your base to a new area."
The m6 has a lot of trouble redocking after a wet mop due to the tires slipping on the home base plastic tray.
Please could you review the Braava 240 vs 390t vs m6
do i have to add water and change pad every day if its scheduled to turn on every day or can it go several days before needing to be changed and refilled? (will it alert you when it needs to be changed/filled?)

Does this vibrate the pad like the first jet. I have the white bravva first one came with cube and always impressed how well it does
I'd love to see a review on the bissell Spinwave Robot wet cleaning robot on this channel - to compare to the M6!
Maybe one day! Thanks for the suggestion!
Hi! You should take down the other video because too many will see the other video and think that the m6 can’t identify carpets.
Also, HOW did you find out about the Keep Out Zones???????
Hi love your videos! Can you review that new Narwhal robot mop that cleans its own mop pads when they’re dirty?
Thank god, really raised an eyebrow that a mop vac with a $500 msrp didnt know how to avoid carpets.
Does it know when the pad is dirty?
I’d love to see a comparison between the M6 and Roborock s7maxv in mop mode…
We can't promise anything but thank you for the suggestion. Noted!
How did you capture the “track” of your braava?
Hi can you test the ILIFE Shinebot W400 Floor Washing Scrubbing Robot?
When the s9+ gets no go lines will you pick it over the roborock s6?
Is this the best robot to buy for tiles?
Since these use vslam, if I have high vaulted ceilings (21 feet) does that crest any problems for that type of technology?
What happened when the water run out before the job done?
Do you think it would be a bad idea to use the Braava exclusively if I only had hardwood floors? Don't do any vacuuming at all... Would it just push the big stuff around?
How does it fare on tile floors? Don't the wheels slip because it's wet?
Hey all, bought the m6. After the dry trainingruns id like to clean wet but it is somehow stuck with "fill the tank".. Already tried shaking the tank and the sensor is free floating.. Rebooting also didnt help
Do you need to unplug and put up surge protectors so that the m6 doesn’t accidentally spray them with water?

Hi
How does it handle on tiled floors? I read a couple of online reviews that it can't reach dirt in grouting. My kitchen and bathrooms are tiled :(
When I send the M6, it allows me to first send either my 980 or s9+... you should probably mention that the feature works with other older models.
Patricia Torres yeah it does. The 980 cannot clean a particular room, but the m6 can clean the whole floor plan or individual rooms after the 980 is done.
A feature that’s missing from the 980 and s9 is sending the mop after a scheduled clean. Maybe i just can’t find it, but on the app I can schedule the roomba to clean everyday, but it doesn’t have the mopping option through scheduling.
So I schedule the s9 the clean every morning at 9am and the m6 is scheduled every Monday and Friday morning at 10am. I just made sure to give the vacuum enough time to finish before the mop does its thing.

It doesn't, but you can set "no go" zones so it avoids carpet. There is a new robot vacuum coming out any day now, the Roborock S7 that has the feature you are looking for.
I understand it avoids carpet but can it travel from my hardwood floor kitchen onto and over my carpeted hallway and into the hardwood floor bedroom and bathrooms?
The mop would drag across the carpet.

Can the robot mop pass door thresholds? I read somewhere that only if they are a maximum of 3 mm in height.

Casey Cody yes I add Dr. Bonners peppermint Castile soap
Would you recommend the Braava Jet 240?
well if you really want to use this for a big house you have to let it run daily, because there is only so much dirt a single small mopping pad can handle. having to use it on a daily basis takes some effort and for the price i think the hizero mop is the by far better alternative.
Hooray just bought one for Veterans Day !!!

Keep out zones for robots will be awesome. The only thing that still has me worried about my s9 is the extractors being ripped up too easy. Could be from the extractors being on the front and hitting objects way easier than the center. Already went through one pair, but to iRobot support teams credit they did replace.
Still an issue and I may have to rethink my purchases that I already made.

Can I use the M6 for Robo Wars?
with a full tank of water how many square meters does it clean ?
Does it leave streak ?
why didn't they add solution and water refill at station and a beep/ or notification when the pad needs changing
like a tank or something
Because it navigates camera-based, I think it will not work in the dark, right? What do you think?
