We used the Braava for about a week and the e rubber on one of the wheels came lose, and the water reservoir started to break. Had to return it. A friend of us has the smaller braava and works waaaay better, I will be ordering the Braava Jet to replace the 380

I bought this for my elderly mother so she doesn't have to go mop the floors every other day and end up in bed for the next day. It's small and doesn't do the whole house in one go but my mother has made it a habit for when the "wet" cloth runs dry, which is more often then I would have liked, she...

After spending my fair share of time with the iRobot Roomba 790 and the Neato XV-21, one thing was certain: My apartment floors were free of debris, but they still needed a good scrubbing. Unfortunately, my growing reliance on robot vacuums rendered the thought of mopping more painful than ever. Between the unwieldy mop and big drippy bucket of soap and water, not to mention the physical act itself, I'd be overjoyed if I never had to mop again. Luckily, there's a 'bot for that. The $299.99 iRobot Braava 380t($253.99 at Amazon) is like a big sibling to the iRobot Braava 320( at Amazon). The Braava 320 costs $100 less, but the 380t has a bigger battery with faster charging, room-to-room cleaning capabilities, a pause button, a quick clean mode, and a furniture-protecting bumper. You'll still need a vacuum for large debris, as well as the occasional helping hand for tough spills, but it's a great accessory for the neat freak who hates to clean.

The iRobot Braava 380t is a great accessory for lazy neat freaks, but you'll still need to lend the occasional helping hand.

We have cork tiles right through the house, so help with mopping is much appreciated, especially by a creaky senior. Having vacuumed the living room floor with our trusty roomba - we've had one for many, many years - we set the Braava to work and it did a very nice job. The mopping cloth must be dampened first and then it's kept damp from the water dispenser. It took a long time but hey, I didn't have to bend over the mop and lug a bucket of water around, and it can get under the beds much easier than I can. It's a small unit and stands on it's side to charge and store, so takes up little floor space.

Does a decent clean. Downside - takes a really,really long time.

iRobot sweeps up a lot of daily grit, pet hair included BUT it doesn't do an excellent job of my floor. I will still have to go around with the vacuum at least weekly. It gets stuck under some furniture which then requires rescuing. I should have gone for a vacuum robot....

Satisfied. Light cleaning. Takes a long time.
