With three cleaning modes (Dry, Damp and Wet), the Braava Jet is suitable for almost all types of flooring. The robot can navigate within 25 sq m of space automatically and work its way around furniture and rugs - even those hard-to-reach places such as under the bed or sofa.
It is also smart enough to avoid falling down stairs or other drop-offs. Its Precision Jet Spray helps to loosen dirt and stains without spraying onto your furniture, while the Vibrating Cleaning Head gently scrubs them away.
