How Braava jet™ Navigates
Braava jet is designed to intelligently navigate and clean rooms up to 200 ft2 (20 m2) while wet mopping and up to 250 ft2 (25 m2) 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.
Using Virtual Wall® Mode
You can create an invisible barrier with the Virtual Wall® Mode so that the
robot will avoid cleaning part of a room or a different floor type.
-
Begin with the robot powered off. When placing the robot, note that the invisible line will be created in line with the back of the robot.
-
To activate Virtual Wall Mode, start with a powered-off robot and press and hold the CLEAN button until two blue lines appear on the top of the robot. The blue lines will indicate that the Virtual Wall Mode has been activated.
Cleaning Tip: You can also use Virtual Wall Mode to divide a larger room into smaller areas to help Braava jet clean more efficiently. -
Once in Virtual Wall Mode, the robot will mark an invisible boundary in its internal map, extending out to each side (see illustration). As the robot cleans your floor, it will not go beyond the invisible line.
-
Once the robot is in place, just press CLEAN to start the job.
-
Virtual Wall Mode will turn off automatically when the robot completes its job. To manually clear a Virtual Wall Mode cleaning cycle and turn off the robot, press and hold the CLEAN button until all indicators turn off.
Tips for Best Performance
- For best results, use a Dry Sweeping Pad or vacuum to pick up dirt and dust before running your robot with a Wet Mopping or Damp Sweeping Pad.
- Do not presoak cleaning pads before attaching them to the robot. Pads should be dry at the start of a cleaning cycle.
- To pause your robot during a cleaning cycle, press the CLEAN button. To resume the cleaning cycle, press the CLEAN button again. Do not pick up and move your robot while it is cleaning – the robot will end its cleaning run if you do.
- To turn off your Braava jet, press and hold the CLEAN button for 5 seconds.
- Tilt robot slightly when filling to ensure tank fills completely.
- Only use water inside your robot. Cleaning solutions, even natural ones, can clog the spray nozzle and break down the materials inside the robot.
- Your robot will only run with Braava jet Pads, which are specifically made for the robot.
- Braava jet cleans best on smooth hard surfaces and may not perform as well on uneven tiles, heavily waxed floors or rough surfaces like slate or brick which may snag the cleaning pads.
- Lift up floor-length curtains before running the Braava jet.
