I am looking for a home robot, which would mop the floor.
Roomba can sweep the floor, but it does not provide wet cleaning.
Does anybody have any experience with such robot, please?
I doubt there is anything of home/residential scale that can do a job worth doing and at any acceptable price.
Sweeping is trivial, in that a normal house's full load of dust and dirt is about a cup. Manageable with and by a small, relatively low-cost device. (Not that I've ever had a positive experience with a Roomba and the reports seem to tilt heavily towards the "utter crap!" end of the scale...)
Wet cleaning would involve the supply and removal of a considerable amount of water, meaning a larger and significantly more complex device. And heavier. Even if you started with a Roomba chassis, adding everything needed to do even a half-decent job of wet cleaning would be a hurdle in several ways.
On the other hand, every WalMart seems to have what you're looking for... of course, they're the small golf-cart sized zamboni things, now equipped with "self drive." Might be a tad overscale for your needs, but I will be surprised if anyone points out anything of residential scale that works even as well as a Roomba.
I like the 380t irobot. I have 2 of them. I actually use swifter wet wipes on them , and It cleans perfectly. We have tile floors through out and it keeps the house nice and clean. I have severe asthma there are days I can’t push a mop my robot does it for me. I also use roomba to vaccum.
Seriously to all you people who are moaning about this.....the sweeper isn’t there to keep the place spotlessly clean. But what it does is pick up things all the time. And it does a great job of that. It does simple constant upkeep maintenance. You would crap yourself if you sweep and vacuum and a few hours later you let this thing go and what it picks up. Especially if you have pets. It has brush and sweeper arm and a little water tank you fill up on the back side and a reusable mop piece and it sweeps and mops at the same time. It can be programmed for certain areas or simply sweep until it needs a recharge. Then it goes to its station and charges up. I was skeptical at first but I think it’s great
