Comparison between Roomba and Mint Cleaner Part 2

In this issue, I will want to discuss about another important aspect of cleaning capabilities of Roomba and Mint Cleaner.


Roomba was built as a "robotic" vacuum cleaner. Being robotic means it enables the vacuum cleaner to moves like a artificial human beings maneuvering the vacuum cleaner to every little corner and area to vacuum the dirt. This definitely leaves a dust free area for your house.

The recent times has brought another waves of innovation which is being the micro fiber clothes which claimed to replace your broom. Micro fiber has proven itself over the time that it is effective in cleaning your floor without the use of detergent as the tiny micro fiber is able to picks up the tiniest dirt including grease, hairs and dust. Mint Cleaner makes use of this innovative breakthrough technology with the use of Starfiber cloth.

I am going to list down my evaluation on the Cleaning effectiveness into the following categories:


Effectiveness in picking up dirt (dust, hairs)
----------------------------------------------

Roomba 535

Excellent - Most dirt has been picked up by Roomba. Roomba is able to move to most corners to search for dust. Without the use of NorthStar indoor GPS, Roomba does not really knows the area that it has covered and may keep cleaning on certain spots. After Roomba has finished his rounds, the floor feels quite clean but may feels greasy at times as there is no mopping features in Roomba. Scooba by iRobot will have to be deployed.


Mint Cleaner

Very Good - When Mint cleaner is used under "Mop" mode, it mimics the human action of mopping the floor with a sideway to and fro motion. Most of the dirt has been picked up by Mint StarFiber cloth. However, you will also need to look out for some clumps of dirt that has been collected by the microfiber cloth.

Conclusion.

Mint Cleaner serves a strong competitor to Roomba. WIth its smart indoor GPS, Mint Cleaner is able to cover all areas with minimal risk of entanglement with wires and awful places. Mint is effective in mopping your house with hard floorings with absolute silence and graceful movements leaving your house clean and matches your house interior with it minimalistic design.
