Back in May I posted a review of my Eufy RoboVac which performed beyond my expectations. Because my experience with the RoboVac was so great I decided to also get a RoboMop. I ended up ordering the iRobot Braava Jet 240 off of Amazon which is iRobots most affordable RoboMop.
In case you didn’t get it from the name, the RoboMop is like the robot vacuum except it mops the floor with water. I have tiles covering my lower floor and hardwood on my top floor and although the RoboVac does a great job of removing the dust, it doesn’t clean up smudges or stains. I mostly have an issue in my kitchen where I have black tiles and so when after washing dishes or cooking, I end up with water stains/smudges on the floor from where I dripped water. The RoboMop I ended up getting is slightly smarter as well as dumber than my RoboVac. My RoboVac for example cleans a room by moving around randomly while the RoboMop I got moves around the room in a smarter, much more organized up and down motion. But while my RoboVac can connect to Wifi and be set to start at certain hours, the RoboMop doesn’t connect online and requires you to manually start it.
I’ve only tried the RoboMop in small areas and it’s performed pretty well. You fill up the RoboMop with water (no soap) and then place it where you want and press the clean button. I got some sprayable floor cleaner and I just spray a bit of it in the area I want to be cleaned and I let the RoboMop do its thing. Because I have black tiles its easy to see water streaks and I was getting that at one point but I solved it by reducing the amount of water the RoboMop sprays on the floor. I’m also experimenting with different cleaning pads, the unit came with disposable ones but I also ordered some more practical reusable ones which can be washed.
The RoboMop is smart enough to recognize carpet and avoid it which is great cuz I do have carpets on my tiles. Once the RoboMop finishes cleaning the floor it goes back to where it started from and turns off. So although I do wish it did have an auto start option I do like the fact I can turn it on before I leave the house and then come back to find my floors mopped and the RoboMop back in its spot.
At just 55KD the RoboMop isn’t that big of an investment in the robot cleaning world. Even shipping to Kuwait didn’t cost much since the unit is fairly light. There are smarter RoboMops available and even some RoboVac/Mop combos, but I didn’t really want to pay much more than this and really I mostly got this for my kitchen and so didn’t need anything smarter. I couldn’t find the RoboMop locally which is why I ordered it off Amazon. If you’re interested in getting one, here is the Amazon link.

Sorry, off topic! Mark, today is Onam. Any plans for Onam sadya this year? 🙂
Nope no plans
I’ve been trying to get my hands on one of these for my mum but I do research religiously that I get so fed up I end up not buying what I want and get headacjes from reviews. I have also been wantingbto get a robvac. but same thing :/ been interested in the Neato Robotics D7 Connected Laser Guided Robot Vacuum. If someone can decide for me ^_^!
Lol too many options at such various price points!
You’re killing me! I am absolutely loving the eufy after having ordered it because of your post. Now, the Robomop is another must-have. I’ll never be able to save at this rate! Just kidding. Thanks for the tip. I’m checking it out on Amazon now.
Also, who did you use to ship it in? Postaplus has been taking ages with the lithium battery shipments.
Shop & Ship, haven’t used posta plus since end of last year
i got the 30c not long ago (based on your recommendation) and then i spent searching for other brands so i ordered for one of my family members the S5 Max around a month ago from Amazon AE. it’s a great robot that has both clean/mop functions with the ability to map out rooms and use the app to give it exact orders and no clean or mop zones.
This is absolutely silly. Local maids are cheaper, they do a much wider variety of tasks and you don’t need to charge them!
Quick question, does iRobot app on iOS platform work in Kuwait? I have an iRobot Roomba 960, and it’s a huge pain to not have the iRobot app on my iPhone. My mom is a Samsung user, which makes it easier to start your robot right from your mobile, but at times when I am home-alone, my lazy ass finds it hard to go down to the charging port and click on the button to start it’s job. (I know you can schedule it but yeee…, I wish their iOS iRobot app worked in Kuwait so that I can control it as well.
I have the iRobot app, works fine with me. What do you mean the app doesn’t work in Kuwait with you?
When I search for iRobot in the app store, the application simply doesn’t show up. I thought it wasn’t available in Kuwait. Like I have the latest iOS software, yet I have no idea why I can’t see the app in the App Stoe lol
ah just open a US itunes account
Can’t help but to remember DJ Roomba!

How about the 110v or is 220v?!
Multivoltage
dude , you do know that Eufy RoboVac G10 Hybrid is vacuum + mop ? i think it’s better but it’s so expansive
oh my bad just saw that you stated that you don’t want to spend much
Yeah there were quite a few options but I watched the review where the guy compared all three iRobot robomops and it performed as good so didn’t see a need to anything more 😅
Any update on this review. Planning to invest in robot mop. New product from Xiaomi looks interesting and within budget. But so far after 3 years, how is your exp with your investment? is it worth it? how do find maintainence and spareparts availability in Kuwait?
Not using it. I got a Roborock vacuum cleaner that also mops so stopped using this. Will probably list for sale on my classifieds section this week.
dont list for sale, i will DM my no on Insta 🙂 , i would like to try it out before i make my investment : ) in the mop. i have 3 cats and a 6 yr old and a 2 BHK apartment! want to see if the robo will survive them all. Would love to read your updated review on roborock vaccum too.
