Cleans very well but cleaning fluid is expensive and hard to come by

The Roomba Braava m6 is very quiet and has nice features like users can control the amount of cleaning liquid used via the iRobot app (there are three levels). Its setup is similar to that of the iRobot Roomba 6+, in that the floor must be mapped first (although the map was ready after just one pass). However, our Braava card had errors, such as B. Displaying missing connections between rooms. Braava then attempted to go through the wall, thinking it might pass. This has never happened with our Roomba. I probably should have deleted the map and asked Braav to remap the ground. Instead, I set up two no-go zones to block these virtual passages. It helped a lot. Commentary: If you ask Braava to clean the floor in a certain room, he will try to get there using the shortest possible route, just like Roomba. When his map showed passageways between rooms that didn't actually exist, he bumped into the wall trying to get through. Finally, after a long time, he found his way back to his docking station. It also turned out that Braava's algorithm for getting out of trouble isn't as smart as Roomba's: Roomba turns around and leaves the way it came. Instead, Braava turns around and pushes around obstacles, and takes much longer to get out. On a few occasions, the Braava appeared to have trouble docking, stopping a foot and a half short of her dock and swerving to the left. and right and back instead of just going straight to the dock. Maybe he needs time to study. Another reason it might have trouble docking is that its dock is 1-2 feet away from Roomba's dock. I've been told there should be at least 6 feet between them, which I can't easily do. So as long as they are there. Recently, Braava has become faster when docking. Aside from these minor issues, the Braava cleans the floor very well. We are really happy. A few caveats: 1. iRobot sells various floor cleaning robots called "Braava": Be careful when buying cleaning cloths for m6 as they are different from those for other robots like "200". It doesn't help that the packaging for these pads isn't clearly labeled to indicate which Braava they're intended for use in. When ordering, make sure they are for "m6".2. The cleaning liquid is very good: it dries very quickly and does not smell. The floor is very clean. The main problem is that this liquid is expensive: 16 fl. An ounce bottle for 8 refills (2 fl oz liquid plus 2 fl oz water) costs about $21, or about $2.65 per refill, and is hard to come by. There's also a new 16 fl oz concentrated bottle priced at $49.97 that's said to make 32 fills at $1.56 a fill, so about half the price, which is good. It's still expensive I think. Yes, you can fill less liquid than the instruction manual, you can even just fill clean water, but no other brand liquids, such as. B. Bona tile cleaner for fear of voiding the warranty. Anyway, we are happy with this Braava m6.
