iRobot Braava Jet 240
The iRobot Braava Jet 240 robot vacuum cleaner is one of the leaders in its class on the modern robotics market. This robot model is manufactured by the renowned American company iRobot Corporation. The Braava series is the company's latest development, and the 240th model is one of the best in the series. The development of this robot vacuum cleaner addressed the main drawback of previous Roomba models—the lack of a wet cleaning function—so this model is classified as a robotic mop. It differs in size, has a completely different design, and features unique features. The Jet 240 is suitable for everyday dry and wet cleaning of medium-sized rooms with parquet, laminate, linoleum, ceramic tile, stone, and other flooring materials. In this article, we decided to provide readers with information about this feature.https://robovac.washerhouse.comA review of the iRobot Braava Jet 240, its technical specifications, functionality, and key benefits.

Equipment
Appearance
The iRobot Braava Jet 240 vacuum cleaner doesn't look like a Roomba; it has a white plastic body made of durable materials. It has a handle for easy portability. The top of the vacuum cleaner houses a special compartment for filling with water. A cleaning cloth is attached to the bottom. A small spray hole is located on the front of the robot vacuum cleaner.

Functional capabilities
It is worth noting right away that the device in question is one of the best robotic vacuum cleanersThe Braava Jet 240's main advantage over the iRobot Roomba and other Braava vacuums is its ability to reach hard-to-reach areas. This is due to its compact size and unique square shape with rounded corners. Its compact size allows the robot to clean surfaces such as under a kitchen cabinet or bed.
Moving under the kitchen table
The iRobot Braava robot vacuum cleaner is extremely easy to use: it has no unnecessary controls and is activated by a simple mechanical on/off button. Control is via the manufacturer's app. The menu is clear and straightforward.
Controlling a robotic floor polisher from your smartphone
The robot navigates using the unique, patented iAdapt navigation system, which allows it to map its surroundings, marking walls, surrounding objects, and obstacles. This allows the robot vacuum to navigate any room and clean efficiently.
Navigation of the floor cleaning robot
The iRobot Braava Jet 240's sensor placement ensures easy obstacle avoidance and prevents the vacuum from tipping over or falling over when placed on uneven surfaces. Importantly, the robot vacuum is equipped with a variety of useful sensors, including infrared sensors on the front bumper and at the bottom of the body, which allow the vacuum to recognize nearby objects as it approaches them and detect changes in elevation.
Altitude difference sensor activation
Mechanical sensors, also located in the front part of the bumper, allow you to determine the moment of collision with objects and promptly change the direction of movement.
Cleaning the floor around the table leg
The iRobot Braava Jet 240 is equipped with a special movement limiter.virtual wall", which is an invisible boundary created by an infrared beam behind the robot. The vacuum cleaner cannot cross this boundary. This feature is convenient when you need to set specific boundaries for the robot vacuum to move within, for example, a single room in the house.
The vacuum cleaner operates virtually silently, which is a key advantage. After cleaning, the robot automatically turns off.
Operating modes
As mentioned earlier, the updated Braava Jet 240 robotic mopping system features two functions: wet and dry cleaning. This means the robotic vacuum cleaner has three operating modes: mopping, wet cleaning, and mopping. The robotic mopping system automatically selects the mopping mode by recognizing the surface type. The vacuum cleaner comes with several different cloth types, depending on the cleaning task. The cloths can be impregnated with detergent and fragrances.
The first cleaning mode, washing, uses a blue microfiber cloth. Washing is accomplished by spraying water and detergent onto the surface and then wiping it dry. This mode is suitable for smooth floors covered with linoleum, tile, or laminate. Battery life is approximately 60 minutes. The robot vacuum cleaner's cleaning performance in washing mode covers approximately 95 percent of the surface area, up to 30 square meters. A high level of cleaning quality is ensured by the iRobot making multiple passes over the same spot.
A robotic floor cleaner is washing the floor.
The next mode, wet mopping, uses an orange cloth. iRobot sprays a small amount of water and then mops the same spot twice in a row. This cleaning mode is convenient for caring for wood or laminate floors. The robotic mopping robot has a run time of one hour.
For dry floor cleaning, use a white cloth. In this mode, the iRobot Braava Jet 240 removes dust, small debris, and pet hair. This mode is suitable for all types of surfaces. The robot vacuum cleaner covers up to 60 square meters in 60 minutes of cleaning.
Operating instructions
This vacuum cleaner is very easy to maintain. Simply drain the remaining water from the tank and then remove the cleaning cloth by pressing the dedicated button. The Brava Jet 240 user manual will help you avoid breakdowns and the risk of dangerous situations while using the vacuum cleaner. To do this, follow the safety precautions outlined therein.

Advantages and disadvantages
Finally, I'd like to summarize and highlight the main advantages and disadvantages of this model of iRobot's robotic mop. Among the positive aspects, I'd like to highlight:
- Compact body size and light weight.
- A well-thought-out floor wetting system.
- Simple and clear controls.
- Smart robot navigation.
As for the disadvantages, they are as follows:
- There are quite a few reviews that the Braava Jet 240 can scratch furniture while working.
- Not quite finished virtual wall.
- The set includes only disposable wipes.
- The robot does not monitor the remaining water in the container.
