Designed to mop and sweep hard floors like tiles and marble, the iRobot Braava Jet is a compact mopping robot equipped with a water spray and a vibrating head that fits disposable proprietary cleaning pads. The device only works with Braava Jet Cleaning Pads which come bundled with the box and are also sold separately. There are different types of disposable and reusable pads available for various cleaning jobs like mopping, damp sweeping or simple dusting. The wet mopping and damp sweeping pads, contain a water-activated cleaning agent. The three types of pads are listed below:
The Braava Jet can navigate on its own and create a 'Virtual Wall' to stop itself from entering restricted areas, like adjacent rooms, carpets, etc. It also features cliff sensors similar to the Roomba, so it can auto-detect stair or other such obstacles and avoid them. The device pairs with the iRobot HOME App (available for Android and iOS) over Bluetooth. The app allows users to easily start a cleaning process or stop one. The app can control multiple Braava Jets simultaneously and it includes a 'Spot Clean' mode for quick-cleaning a small stained area. You also get direct access to customer support for product related issues.
The robot mop is powered by a rechargeable 1950mAh lithium-ion battery and in the box, you get the removable-battery charger along with two of each type of the cleaning pads.
The iRobot Braava Jet is priced at 19,900 INR, however, you can purchase it right now for a special launch offer of 17,900 INR at the iRobot.in store and will also be available on other ecommerce websites sometime later.
The disposable Braava Jet cleaning pads retail for 690 INR for a box of 10 cleaning pads while the washable cleaning pad is priced 1190 INR for a box of two.
