Evolution Robotics Mint Automatic Floor Cleaner

I bought this to replace a Scooba wet floor cleaner that, as with all Irobot products I have owned (5 in all) went wrong just out of guarantee. I despaired of getting a wet floor cleaner apart from Irobot. then I saw the Mint and figured it was worth a try. I got the 4205 as i had read reviews that the one without a reservoir dried up too quickly and I didn''t want to go to the model above this one mainly because of price, there being no guarantee that it works well.

I was pleasantly surprised. It works very well. I would say apart from the grouting between tiles in my Kitchen it works better than the Scooba. How? Well in part because it is so easy to use. The Scooba involved Removing brushes, cleaning them, cleaning pipes, flushing the tank, filling, rinsing. All in all it might have been easier to use a mop. the mint you just fill the tank wet the cloth and it''s ready to go. Therefore I use it more thus keeping the floor cleaner. you can also try different cleaning solutions, some of which work very well.

I have never used this just as a floor brush. I have a Karcher RC3000 for that but as a wet floor cleaner it is great and almost silent. Looks cool too!

Given hindsight I would have gone for the next model up. As the mint is so easy to use, it would be great to have a faster charge time and thus use it just like a mop when the floor needs a wipe. The 4205 and below have over 6 hours charge time, which is far too long really.

This a a great way to maintain your floors. I have two dogs and a cat an it picks up hair and other debris. It is not a vacuum and won''t pick up larger pieces of debris. The mop function is also very good. I did have some problems operating it when I first tried to use it so I called customer service, I was able to leave a message and get a call back. I was called back within an hour and spoke to a very helpful and knowledgable person who spoke clearly and who I could understand. Great customer service.

The mop function is good for laminate floors. I have laminate "wood" flooring.

We got the 4205 as a replacement for a defective 4200. So much better. Runs longer. I am not too impressed with the resevoir on the wet pad, but it is better than not having one. I have physical limitations that make sweeping and mopping very hard on me. I try to run a sweep cycle at least every other day, but sometimes I forget and do a quick sweep of major pet hair before I run it. Not that it won''t pick it up, but it keeps SAM running longer before I have to change the pad. When I do, I pull off the hair I can and flip it over to use the other side. He usually goes over my kitchen/dining/hall area twice on a cycle. Better than my kid does :). I can run a sweep cycle and a wet cycle on one charge, unlike the 4200. He also doesn''t get stuck under the fridge door or chairs like the 4200.

Things to remember:

It is a sweeper, not a vacuum.

It is hard on them if your floor is really dirty all the time. And even once it may require 2 cycles and frequent pad changes.

If you treat SAM right he will work great for you.

If pet hair gets on wheels, pick it off.

Oh his name...Sweet A$$ Machine or SAM for short.

I am handicapped and cannot use a broom or long handle mop to clean my floors,

I can''t stand up to do it and it is very difficult to mop while being seated. My little mint solves that problem beautifully, it is quiet and cleans well after which it returns to home base.

I was disappointed in the performance. It only does a small area, not a complete room. Not all of the cat hair is picked up. I wish i could have tried it once before buying. The only good thing, it is quiet.
