Bought an M6 a couple weeks ago. Does a decent job but the M6 is the dumb brother to the S9 vacuum. Wonders around like it is lost when it starts a job, cannot go up and over any small lip of tile or transition strip and it took 5 times for it to map our house. The Roomba s9 is smart and quick. M6 fumbles around, needs help more often, but eventually gets things done. I am glad we got it, but wish it was as smart and efficient as the Roomba.

[@iamdenislara]

Hi! You should take down the other video because too many will see the other video and think that the m6 can’t identify carpets. Also, HOW did you find out about the Keep Out Zones???????

Your videos are informative, honest and well made. We would like you to make a review about "mop+ vacuum robot" . There are only few available "mop+ vacuum robots" Narwal is one we know. But please make a video on this soon.

[@random55912]

Would be nice to know if theres any benefit to having a 980 and this one. Or did Irobot completely forget its 980 customers? Also what liquid can you use? Soap? Water alone I don´t see being very helpful...

[@namensklauer]

well if you really want to use this for a big house you have to let it run daily, because there is only so much dirt a single small mopping pad can handle. having to use it on a daily basis takes some effort and for the price i think the hizero mop is the by far better alternative.

[@Parimans]

One thing that annoys me is that the "tandem" mode works only with i9/i7(I guess?). I have the 980 and I don't see a reason why it would be impossible to first send one robot and then another.

[@ugbylqb]

I have door trims between rooms , will this go over the door trims ?

[@PetrusB83]

Ideally I should be able to set and forget this robot mop, but I guess you cannot just leave the wet mopping attachment on. Right?

[@jpthsd]

As you've been testing these house hold cleaner robot, your shown house floor must be super cleaned all the time! lol!

[@himehimine]

Hi vacuum wars, I was wondering (when the app updates) if you could do a full video on it I’m especially curious if you can schedule a vacuum + mop combined job on a weekly basis or if you have to schedule them separately Overall though, I’m just interested in the apps functionality and how interlinked the mop and vacuum are and how customizable each of there runs are. Love your work!

[@himehimine]

Also I’d be curious to see a robot mop combo showdown where it compares different price ranges of buying a robot mop and a robot vacuum vs a two in one and there effectiveness. Like, how a combo that’s the same price as a robot vacuum and robot mop put together fairs

[@himehimine]

Also, I was wondering about the m6 mop pads, like how often do you have to change the wet mopping pads and does the app tell you (also does the app tell you when the solution is running low?)

[@sinbatsiraseranant1241]

Hello, there are 2 area of the hardwood/composite floor on the first floor of my house. The foyer and the kitchen, which are separated by the living room carpet. Will this present an issue in the way that this mopping robot will not cross the carpet area from the kitchen to the foyer? thank you.

[@IvanMallia]

Does it support multiple floors?

[@iknowthetruth4ever800]

Can you do a whole mopping robot series like you didn't with the robot vacuums??? I need to know which one to get to go along with my robot vacuum to achieve ultimate lazy dream.

[@polloloco3]

Keep out zones for robots will be awesome. The only thing that still has me worried about my s9 is the extractors being ripped up too easy. Could be from the extractors being on the front and hitting objects way easier than the center. Already went through one pair, but to iRobot support teams credit they did replace. Still an issue and I may have to rethink my purchases that I already made.

[@cmartwin]

[@agnieszka777]

I got m6, have same problem - hardwood around the house and tiles in bathroom, there is small gap (like 5mm) fillet with silicone, it is few mm difference in height (I think 2-3mm). M6 went through first 3 times, now it doesn't want to go there. It is nearly entering bathroom and goes back. It pisses me off because if I want m6 to mop bathroom have to carry it there and after it can't find base so have to carry it back. What is interesting it has no problem leaving bathroom, only entering. Any solutions?

[@KTMcaptain]

When I send the M6, it allows me to first send either my 980 or s9+... you should probably mention that the feature works with other older models.

[@KTMcaptain]

Patricia Torres yeah it does. The 980 cannot clean a particular room, but the m6 can clean the whole floor plan or individual rooms after the 980 is done. A feature that’s missing from the 980 and s9 is sending the mop after a scheduled clean. Maybe i just can’t find it, but on the app I can schedule the roomba to clean everyday, but it doesn’t have the mopping option through scheduling. So I schedule the s9 the clean every morning at 9am and the m6 is scheduled every Monday and Friday morning at 10am. I just made sure to give the vacuum enough time to finish before the mop does its thing.

[@sapanrana2660]

Does it leave streak ?

[@partialartsblackbelt8384]

Maybe I missed it but does it go over transition pieces, like between the kitchen tile and hardwood living room?

[@VacuumWars]

iRobot says, "Your Braava jet m6 is designed to navigate over thresholds that are 3mm or less, due to its need to maintain contact between the pad & the floor. Thresholds larger than 3mm may cause navigation difficulties. It may be best to relocate your base to a new area."
