Pick the appropriate one, tuck it into the rubber grippers on the front pad holder, put the little guy where you want him to go, and set him free.

The bot works by pushing a cleaning pad along your floor, including a selection of re-usable cloth ones for either dry or wet cleaning. The Mint, though, why that's not even a vacuum! It's a robot sweeper, effectively a self-propelled version of those Swiffer mops (and their various generic imitators) that fill the cleaning aisle at the grocery store. We figure Geeves was understandably uncomfortable around the XV-11, with its room-sweeping radar array perched on top. Scratches on top? Curious puppy who got spooked. Brownish gash on the front? Got stuck under a hand-me-down hutch with a tricky base. When we reviewed the Neato XV-11 we told you the sorry story of Geeves, our tired old Roomba 560 who's been doing faithful duty around the house for many years now, with the battle scars to prove it. However, while this one is likewise a heck of a lot smarter than a Roomba, for some it'll be of rather more limited usefulness. The $249 Mint Automatic Floor Cleaner is another attempt to free us from that burdensome task and, like the Neato XV-11 we recently reviewed, it is quite clinical and comprehensive in the way that it does things. Yet still we're stuck cleaning the same floors more or less the same way our forefathers did, despite the fact that they had a lot less fun stuff they could be doing instead.
