This mopping robot allows users to choose among damp sweeping, wet mopping, and dry sweeping. Featuring a vibrating cleaning head and a precision jet spray, it is able to remove dried stains and dirt, but it doesn’t spray furniture and walls. Customers usually rate this model 4 stars.
The 960 model features the 3-Stage Cleaning System and tangle-free extractors. It can work for up to 75 minutes on a single charge, then dock, recharge automatically, and continue the cleaning process after that. It is smartphone compatible and can be programmed using the iRobot HOME app.
