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.
