How Braava jet™Navigates
*Tested in iRobot’s Home Test Lab on
hard floors.
Braava jet is designed to intelligently
navigate and clean rooms up to
200 ft2(20 m2) while wet mopping and
up to 250 ft (25 m) while damp and
dry sweeping.*
• The robot starts by cleaning to the
right until it encounters a wall or other
barrier.
• When wet mopping or damp sweeping,
Braava jet repeats the first line twice to
achieve the optimal wetness of the pad
before it cleans the rest of the room.
• When the robot has cleaned as far as it
can to the right, the robot will continue
to the area in front and to the right of
where it started.
• The robot will stop cleaning and will
return to where it started when the
cleaning job is done.
- Braava jet does not spray furniture or
walls. Before the robot sprays, it will
back up to ensure it’s only spraying a
portion of the floor it knows is clear.
Lift up floor-length curtains before
running Braava jet.
• As Braava jet finds edges, chair legs,
and other obstacles, it will clean
around them and then return to its
original path and resume cleaning.
• Braava jet creates a new map every
time it cleans.
