Everybot Three Spin: A robotic mop with three rotating mops

The Everybot Three Spin robotic mop boasts a unique cleaning module featuring three rotating discs with microfiber cloths. According to the manufacturer, these cloths apply up to 2 kg of pressure to the floor, allowing for effective removal of dirt. Furthermore, the device boasts exceptionally quiet operation and the ability of the cloths to adhere tightly to baseboards and furniture, thanks to the robot's unique design. The robotic mop retails for around $300 at launch, or just over $400 at the exchange rate at the time of writing. I thoroughly tested the Everybot Three Spin and then expressed my opinion on when it would be a good choice and whether it's worth the money. First things first!

Standard equipment.

Appearance

Now let's take a look at the Everybot Three Spin robotic mopping system. It has a triangular body. The robot is white, made of matte plastic that resists fingerprints. Sensors for detecting surface and obstacles in the robot's path are mounted on the front edges.

Wall detection sensors are located on the sides. The remote control receiver is located at the top of the back. The robot's height is 99 mm. With a standard clearance of 10 cm, the robot can clean under kitchen cabinets and other furniture.

On the top of the body is a single mechanical control button, which turns the robotic mop on and off. Next to the button are indicators for the battery status and the selected water supply mode for the mop pads. Next to the indicators is a brightness sensor. This sensor allows the robot to move out of dark areas after completing a cleaning cycle, making it easier to find afterward.

By pressing the button on top, the 340 ml water tank is released.

The robot's body features a convenient handle for carrying and removing it from the station. More on this later. The cloths are attached to the discs with Velcro. The fabric is very dense. The brightly colored cloths are used for polishing surfaces and cleaning glossy surfaces. The gray cloths are better for wiping away dirt due to their stiffer bristles.

Regarding charging, this robotic mop is equipped with a special base for manual charging. This means that before each use, you must remove the robot from the base, move it to the desired room, and start it. After the cleaning cycle is complete, you need to remove the cleaning cloths for further washing and return the robot to the base. The lack of automatic charging is inconvenient.

Speaking of navigation, the robot is equipped with a sensor system for precise touching of objects and spatial orientation using its own algorithms. Navigation is largely chaotic; Everybot Three Spin is unable to map a room or clean in straight, parallel lines.

Overall, the build quality is high, though there are some design issues with navigation and charging. We'll see how the device performs in testing.

Technical specifications

The main characteristics of the Everybot Three Spin, as stated by the manufacturer:

• Battery: Li-Ion, 2150 mAh.
• Operating time: up to 200 minutes.
• Charging time: up to 180 minutes.
• Water tank: 340 ml.
• Noise level: 43 dB.
• Weight: 2.05 kg.

The light weight and low operating noise are worth noting. The latter will be verified in tests.

Functional capabilities

Let's move on to an overview of the Everybot Three Spin's features. The robotic mop is controlled via the included remote control.

It displays functions such as:

1. Manual control.
2. Start/Pause.
3. Intensive cleaning mode.
4. Local cleaning mode.
5. Perimeter cleaning mode.
6. Y-shaped trajectory of movement.
7. Forced removal of water from the robot.
8. 50-minute cleaning cycle.
9. Adjusting the water supply level to the napkins.

Let me briefly describe each mode. In Intensive mode, the robotic mop cleans in short, straight passes, periodically rotating its body 360 degrees. In Local mode, it cleans in a spiral pattern, similar to robotic vacuums. The Y-shaped motion pattern represents back-and-forth cleaning. And, in my opinion, the most interesting mode is perimeter cleaning. In this mode, the Everybot Three Spin cleans the perimeter, pressing its cleaning pads closely to baseboards, furniture, and other objects located along the edges of the room. This is a very cool solution, which at the very least allows it to finish cleaning after a robotic vacuum, if you have one. After all, almost all robots have one problem: they are unable to thoroughly clean floors right up to furniture and baseboards due to the design of the cleaning module. Frankly, this feature is what attracted me most to the Everybot Three Spin.

Testing

A detailed video review with all the tests has already been published on the channel. I highly recommend watching the video:

Navigation

And finally, let's move on to the tests. First, I'll check its navigation within a room with obstacles. As mentioned earlier, the robot's navigation is erratic. Consequently, covering the entire cleaning area is only ensured by a long cleaning cycle. Its contact with objects is gentle. When detecting chair legs and other objects, it doesn't circle around them, but simply changes its trajectory. The robot didn't get stuck on the dryer, as it can't navigate obstacles taller than 3 mm. When encountering any objects taller than this, it simply changes its trajectory.

Speaking of navigating the entire apartment—in my case, 70 square meters—there were still some uncleaned areas, but not many. Again, the robot doesn't have precise navigation, so it's ideal to run it room by room, physically limiting the cleaning area. For example, by closing the door.

The only caveat is that the robot doesn't clean curtains and drapes, but rather carefully navigates around them. This is worth keeping in mind.

Removing dirt

It was equally important to test how the Everybot Three Spin performs at its primary task – scrubbing away dirt. As you can see, the robotic mop effectively scrubs away slightly dried dirt, even along the baseboards. The cloths absorb moisture and dirt well, leaving no streaks on the floor. Only the corner remained unwashed due to the design of the cleaning module. The same problem occurs with robotic window cleaners with round cloths.

When it comes to removing tough stains, like dried-on coffee and sauce stains, it's worth noting that the Everybot Three Spin can handle coffee with confidence, but it struggles with sauce stains. I even added a special cleaning solution left over from a robot vacuum cleaner to the wipes. It certainly improves stain removal, but the results are still not perfect. While this won't be such a difficult task in everyday life, it's still important to consider.

Floor polishing

However, using this robotic polisher for polishing the floor would be an interesting idea. For example, I used a regular polish, applied it to some wipes, and then turned the robot on. The effect was minimal, but I think if you use more expensive wax-based products, you could not only wipe the floor but also polish it periodically. Rotating discs, in my opinion, are best for this.

More observations

Well, I'll also share some important observations about this robot. It's not afraid of black surfaces, which is a plus.

Moreover, the ToF sensors work correctly, although the manufacturer specifies in the instructions that the robot's cleaning area should be physically limited from changes in height, for example, the same steps.

Another thing: the Everybot Three Spin doesn't climb onto carpets. It's physically incapable of doing so, and that's a plus.

The last thing I'd like to point out is the noise level. The robotic mop really does operate virtually silently, as the manufacturer claims. In complete silence, the noise level in the apartment is between 38-40 dB. When the robot is turned on, it only rises to 42-43 dB, as the manufacturer claims.

This means it's a truly quiet robot, and you can use it comfortably even while sleeping or watching TV. That's a plus!

Personal opinion

The Everybot Three Spin robotic mop was thoroughly reviewed and tested. I'll share my personal opinion of this device after all the testing. Here's what I liked:

1. Effectively cleans the area along the baseboard and furniture.
2. Capable of removing light stains.
3. Does not leave streaks.
4. Can be used as a floor polisher.
5. Low noise level.
6. Not afraid of black coatings.
7. Touches objects carefully.
8. High quality assembly.
9. Availability of warranty and service.

Speaking about the disadvantages, there are the following comments about the robot:

1. Automatic charging is not provided.
2. Poor navigation.
3. Unable to clean behind curtains and drapes.

As a result, in my opinion, this robot is ideal for cleaning in tandem with a robot vacuum. Personally, I would use it to perform a perimeter check behind the robot, as well as to maintain cleanliness in areas like the kitchen or entryway, as these are most susceptible to floor contamination. And of course, it's worth considering the floor polishing option. If your house or apartment has predominantly wood floors, this robot could be a real find.

On that note, I'd like to end this review. If you have any questions, please ask them in the comments. Happy shopping. Bye!
