Presenting the IRobot Braava Jet 240 Mopping Robot, which mops and sweeps hard, bare floors (wood, tile, and stone) and can easily navigate tight spaces around toilets or in corners. You really don’t have much to do, because the robot automatically selects the correct cleaning mode, avoids stairs and rugs, and—best of all—you can create an invisible boundary wall to keep the vacuum cleaner within a designated space. Just remember to charge this cordless vac between each go-around.
