Robot mops have a cloth attached underneath the body and a water reservoir which helps dampen the cloth. Some robot mops are also designed with a spray while other machines require you to manually dampen the cloth first before attaching it to the robot.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<\/p>\n
The water stored in the reservoir is released through a small opening around the tank\u2019s edges to wet the cloth. You may need to fill in the water tank more often if you need to clean a larger space. The robot drags the cloth underneath its body to wipe the floor which is something you might not find effective for cleaning heavy dirt and stains that are difficult to remove.\u00a0 <\/span><\/p><\/div>Mopping Modes<\/span><\/h3>A good robot mop should have both wet and dry mopping functions. If you choose a robot that only has the dry mopping mode, you won\u2019t be able to use it on a smudge that requires wet mopping, and it won\u2019t pick up dust as effectively.<\/span><\/p><\/div>Easy to Use<\/span><\/h3>The main reason why we want a robot mop is to ease the burden of maintaining our home. When choosing a robot mop, it should be easy to use and maintain, otherwise it defeats the purpose of why you\u2019re getting a robot mop in the first place.<\/span><\/p><\/div>Water Dispensation System<\/span><\/h3>If you have a large house or apartment, then it would be ideal to choose a robot mop that can hold enough water to clean the entire space. Most robot mops can store between 0.3 to 0.5 liters of water, which should be enough for an average-sized home.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><\/div>Battery Life<\/span><\/h3>The ideal robot mop should be able to clean your whole house with one go! If you have a large house, then you may need to look specifically for a robot mop with longer battery life. Most robot mops can clean for one hour non-stop for an average-size home. When batteries go down or your robots are done with their job, they return autonomously to their charging cradle to recharge their batteries.<\/span><\/p><\/div>
