iRobot Braava jet m6 floor mopping robot experience sharing

Use time: 2023/5 – 2023/6

Take advantage of Mother’s Day to buy a floor mopping robot to pay tribute to the rich wife. In fact, the rich wife has talked about it for a long time (laughs). Although the online reviews are polarized, because I used the Electrolux sweeping robot before, I think it is very good, and the interior configuration of the rich man’s house feels relatively simple. When cleaning, the small table, chairs, and wires will be put away, and the curtains will not be raised. Waiting, so despite the negative reviews, buy the iRobot Braava jet m6 and give it a try!

Braava jet m6 unboxing

The front of the iRobot Braava jet m6 outer box should not spray so much water (laughs).

The back of the Braava jet m6 case.

Open the box, suspicious! Why did a small part fall on the water tank and the lid automatically popped open? Well, there was a suspicious smell? It may be that the latch on the cover is not locked properly or is broken.

After plugging the small parts back, it looks normal, and the matte black looks quite elegant!

Pick up the jug and fill it with water.

Open the accessory box, which contains wires, 2 white dry rags, 1 black wet rag, and a bottle of cleaning solution.

Combine the charging stand, put it against the wall, and wait until you have to go to work, let you fully charge the battery first.

The back of the robot.

Designed in USA and Made in China, Year of Manufacture: 2022.

The sensor on the back and the non-slip mat for rags.

Instructions and Precautions.

After the hardware device is installed, you can start to set up the iRobot Home APP.

APP installation

The APP installation experience is that the installation process is quite smooth, and it will be done in about 10 minutes. The Braava jet m6 mopping machine does not have a QR code, so just select "Select Product (select product)".

During the installation process, we will briefly introduce the features and functions of the m6 floor mopping robot, including features such as automatic recharging at low battery levels, regular cleaning, anti-dropping from height differences, and continuous learning with Smart Map. !

According to the suggestion, tidy up the ground of the home to reduce the difficulty (laughs).

test sharing

Braava jet m6 robot, welcome to the rich man's house, come and try your skills!

The first cleaning of the old machine

The factory default water volume setting of the robot is "Ultra". You can see that there will be a little water on the wall when mopping the floor. It cannot be completely dried at the rich man's house. If you have the same problem, you can change the water volume. Change (Liquid Amount) to "Standard" or "Eco" and you no longer see water accumulation.

oh~ The small parts popped out again, and I feel that there is something wrong with the tenon!

The first cleaning took 4 hours and 15 minutes, and finally got stuck in the little rich man's room, unable to get around, followed the robot's Chinese error instructions to manually put it back into the charging stand, and barely completed the first mopping (laughs). But at least the map of the home has been drawn, and then you can choose to clean some areas!

Rich thinks that the APP design is good, and there are instant display of error problems and troubleshooting methods.

The second cleaning of the old machine

This time it’s good to test and clean some areas. Create a new map from the map drawn yesterday and select the living room, dining room and game room. During the mopping process, the cover popped off again. After manually reinstalling the tenon, the mopping was completed successfully. The designated area is clean, great!

new machine

After changing to a brand new machine, let’s run it again. The first cleaning took 5 hours and 9 minutes, and the first mopping was successfully completed (laughs). A map of the home is also drawn, which is great! The second part of the area cleaning was also successfully completed, Good Job!

Make up the historical record of mopping the floor

Features

historical record

From the historical records, we can see the mopping process of Braava jet m6 in the past. In addition to seeing the mopping area, there is also cleaning and charging time.

Partial area cleaning

Set part of the area cleaning can be edited from the map obtained after the first cleaning is completed. In addition to the custom area name, there are room partition settings, no cleaning X area setting, and only cleaning X area setting, which is quite user-friendly. Do not clean the X area after the next test and replenish it.

common problem

Mopping the floor too long and too slowly

The rich man discovered that he could change the Wet Mopping Overlap option from "Medium" to "Small" in Cleaning Preferences. After making the modification, he tried it several times and found that the wet mopping The speed of mopping has been shortened from the original 3. At the expense of cleanliness?

Error code 15

The rich man went online and found out on GoogleError code 15It is an internal error of the Braava jet m6 robot. When the error code -15 appears on the machine, it cannot mop the floor. The robot stops in the middle of the road and does not move. It is the same after long pressing the CLEAN button to restart the machine. The picture below is the historical record. , you can see that Today (9/25) the first two times of mopping the floor were stuck and the task was not completed. How should an individual soldier deal with it?

Possible solution: The rich man refers to this article on the official website of iRobot in the United States:https://homesupport.irobot.com/s/article/2466

It seems that the key point is to reset the map. The reset method: enter "History" and select a successful record in the past. Taking the rich man as an example, I chose the record on 9/18 and click "" in the upper right corner of the screen. Directory" and select "Update my Smart Map". After the update, the APP can successfully connect to the robot, and then reassign a new task to the m6. Finally, the mopping is finally completed successfully, and the crisis is resolved.

The rich man guessed that the robot encountered some kind of problem that caused the map to be messed up and unable to continue mopping. The solution was to update the map that had been successful before. If it really didn't work, you could also zoom in, clear all the map data, and redraw the map. The above processing method is The irresponsible sharing of the rich man does not represent the official iRobot. Friends who are worried should still contact customer service directly.

sudden sound of music

During the use of the millionaire, I discovered that a problem was that the m6 would sometimes emit brisk music for no reason. I couldn’t seem to find any relevant discussion on the Internet. After careful observation, I found that when the sound was emitted, the APP displayed: Robot. Unable to dispatch if not connected. It turns out that the rag was not installed! The usage situation of the millionaire is like this. Every time after mopping the floor, he will take out the smelly rag, wash it and hang it on the balcony, and then forget to put it back (laughs). Since the m6 robot has It detects that there is no rag on the body so it cannot be used, and then sends music to remind. After installing the rag, the APP shows that the robot is connected, how cool.

rich man experience

As other netizens have said, when the two Runs are running, they basically bump into a wall and then turn. I feel that the detection of the walking path is not very smart, and they may still be adapting. Because it will bump into things, the direction will be confused, causing repeated mopping in some areas, wasting some time, and the software shows that it is the latest version. I will share it with you after the rich man runs a few more times.

After calling iRobot's customer service to describe the problem of the small parts falling, the customer service decided to exchange a new machine for the rich man. After sending back the old machine, the rich man got the new one on 5/19. There are no problems with the use of the new machine at present, and the use is considered satisfactory. The rich man is continuing to observe (laughs).

After replacing the machine with a new one, the rich man once observed that after the water tank was put in, the water did not spray out, and then the robot pretended to be fine and continued to clean without prompting, so he had to ask the customer service again.

I have been using it for a month and a half now, and I am quite satisfied with it. Except for the first time, which took a long time to draw a map and get familiar with the environment, every subsequent mopping of the whole room can be completed within 4 hours, and it is almost as fast every time. A bucket of water has been used up, so the rich man feels that the usage situation at home is within the capabilities of the m6 robot. For the detailed "whole room" mopping time, you can refer to the ticked times in the picture below, but I still hope it can be faster. ah. Currently, I use it once a week. After mopping the floor, the rag feels quite smelly, so I wash and dry it after every mopping.

Rich people's families are mainlySuper wear-resistant wooden floor, the preferred water amount for mopping is "Standard". The area mopped by Braava jet m6 will be a little wet. In the picture below, the left side of the green line is the mopped area (a little wet and shiny), and the right side is the mopping area. As for the areas that haven't been mopped yet, the rich man feels that the humidity is about the same as when he mops the floor manually, which is considered ok.

It's a pity that there is no real-time cleaning progress map to see during the mopping process (which area has been cleaned and which area has not been cleaned), which is lost to Electrolux.

I took a photo with the Electrolux Pure i9.2 robot vacuum cleaner. I hope we can cooperate well. The cleaning of the floor at home depends on the two of you. Come on!

correct! Rich man has stickers on the edges of iRobot Braava jet m6 mopping robot and Electrolux Pure i9.2 sweeping robotAnti-collision bubble paperTo prevent collision, the white wall will be less likely to be scratched. It will not affect the function during current use, so please feel free to take it.

Update 2024/2: Recently, the robot often locks itself in a room. When it drags the door, it gets knocked up. After being locked in the room, of course the mopping task is not completed. After the task is interrupted, the m6 will become It's very stupid. I couldn't even walk through the area that I could easily scan, and then Incomplete appeared. In the end, I had to rescan the entire room. I was really disappointed with it.
