Whereas the majority of the mops we tested used a flat mop pad that the machine simply drags across the floor during cleaning, the SpinWave has a much different design. If you’re looking for a mop that can create this type of map, we’d recommend the iRobot Braava Jet m6. It will just vacuum if you have the vacuum attachment on, but once or twice a week I swap it out for the mop attachment so it will vacuum and mop while we sleep.

Now, in fairness, Bissell does not make any claims that this robot has any hazard avoidance whatsoever, so I might be overstepping and looking for this feature.

I also have an iRobot at home and it’s much quicker with mapping capability but it can’t mop and cost a hell of a lot more. The SpinWave R5’s app, Bissell Connect, comes with a bit of a learning curve but does unlock quite a bit of functionality.
