This is a really #cheap robot mop cleaner. And is the best device to benchmark what is a good ,functional home product. I've been testing it this morning, and to my surprise it does what is suppose to do : wet and clean the floor. However, don't assume because it's a robot it will do all things for you. It doesn't. To get the best cleaning results, the mop needs to be literally water saturated to a point of dripping. Also, another non documented trick is, the floor cleaning agent / detergent. I have mine on a spray bottle, and gave the mop a good spray all around before pushing the start button.
Since this robot cleaning does not feature a path finder / trace , the best course of action is to limit the cleaning areas and divide spaces into small 5 or 6 m2 space areas. Finally under sofa and under the bed is now properly cleaned with this cheap $30 cleaning robot.
As usual, here's the challenge:
Products like these are the best to give a boost when prototyping and doing product development. During upcoming weeks ill be adding the functionality of knowing where the robot is in the room , "spacial awareness", and where it has passed and mopped the floor. Ill be using an arduino nano sense ble to achive this. At the end all will be accessible on a open-source Android app and also on the edge computing home server I'm already building (open data and source). Total cost: around 50€.This is a really #cheap robot mop cleaner. And is the best device to benchmark what is a good, functional home product.
