iRobot Braava jet
Braava jet cuts through the mess of day-to-day life and delivers fresh, clean floors every day in rooms up to 25m2 1. Priced at Rs.19,900, Braava jet combines a compact design, Vibrating Cleaning Head, Precision Jet Spray and Braava jet™ Cleaning Pads to lift dirt and stains2, even in hard-to-reach places, like under kitchen cabinets and around toilets.
“iRobot is focused on developing consumer robotic solutions to solve specific challenges facing consumers,” said Christian Cerda, chief operating officer of iRobot. “Braava jet complements our successful Roomba® robotic vacuum by offering customers a separate option for daily hard floor mopping on particularly dirty and sometimes unsavory surfaces. It is especially well suited for customers who spend a significant amount of time keeping their hard floors clean.”
Braava jet works with Braava jet Cleaning Pads to tackle a range of hard floor cleaning jobs, from wet mopping and damp sweeping to simple dusting. The wet mopping and damp sweeping pads, contain a water-activated cleaning agent. Braava jet is also simple to use; just attach the desired Braava jet Cleaning Pad and press the ‘CLEAN’ button. The robot will automatically determine its cleaning action based on the pad chosen, including:
- Single-Use Wet Mopping Pad – triple-pass cleaning for dirt and stains2 well-sealed floors such as hardwood, tile, and stone
- Single-Use Damp Sweeping Pad – single-pass cleaning for everyday dust and dirt on sealed wood floors, and can also be used on tile and stone
- Single-Use Dry Sweeping Pad – single-pass cleaning traps and locks dust, dirt and pet hair on all hard floors, including hardwood, tile, and stone
Moving in an efficient pattern, Braava jet deftly maneuvers around obstacles in its path and cleans along furniture, walls, and fixtures. Its Precision Jet Spray and Vibrating Cleaning Head help loosen dirt and stains3 while the Braava jet Cleaning Pads break up and lock away debris.
When Braava jet is finished cleaning, users don’t have to worry about touching the dirty cleaning pads. Simply place the robot over a waste basket and hit the ‘eject’ button to drop the pad into the trash. To keep Braava jet from entering unwanted areas, such as an adjacent room without a door or a carpeted area, users can create an invisible boundary with Virtual Wall® Mode.
Customers can also download the iRobot HOME App to get the most out of their Braava jet mopping robot. Available for Android and iOS devices, the HOME App allows users to access the CLEAN button to start or stop Braava jet, use Spot Clean for a quicker, deeper clean of a smaller area, easily get software updates and directly access customer service.
Braava jet comes packaged with a long-lasting Lithium Ion Battery, a battery charger, and two of each type of cleaning pad (wet mopping, damp sweeping and dry sweeping). Reusable, washable cleaning pads are available for purchase separately.4
