DREAM TEAM: Wendy (Braava380) wipes and Alan (Roomba770) sucks ** TOP **

Since 5 days of Braava wipes 380 (Wendy) in our house wood parquet, tiles and natural stone. Once Roomba 770 (Alan) is a loyal sucker in use for 1.5 years, I needed a wet wiper. We use Wendy for wet mopping with blue microfibre cloths and not to dusting with white towels as Alan sucking accepts previously. We are very satisfied with Wendys wiping performance and now work our way up to our differentiated space and ground claims:

- CUBE: Yes, soon you can intuitively figure out how the cube is set to - just try it, the great instructions for details later quite informative. I put him in the living room on the table, in the small guest bathroom on the toilet seat and in the bedroom on the front bottom edge of the bottom shelf in the open cupboard, so he nicely under the big bed has received. Works fine, everything clean. Surprisingly, he came in the entrance hall (L-shape about 20 sqm) easily anywhere with a cube even around the corner. Prima. I'm going to make any more rebuy a 2. Cube iRobot Northstar Channel 2 Cube for Braava 380, so I can also connect 2 rooms because Wendy had a 20 square meter living room still to further wipe enough battery and water. To draw an infrared limit (Wall), as the vacuum cleaner would be good and missing: so far do I shut aside cleared objects to where I want to stop the wiper. Go to the emergency also.

- Orientation: Wendy comes to wiping after sucking off Alan (Wendy pushes the wiper mode the loose dirt just back and forth) and because the room anyway everything is already provided irobotauglich aside, Wendy has a quick free rein. Wendy oriented when wiping the room significantly more intelligent than Alan. With the wet surfaces can be seen that they are relatively systematically working an area, this is step way unerringly moved forward with caution and pushing back. This has not as random as with Alan, which is convenient because of the limited water and battery power. The quick mode (3 seconds to wipe button press) leaves Wendy through space and expansive lawn around the articles, which give super enough "on the fly".
Increased carpets and objects can Wendy at rest, it recognizes good boundaries and edges. Well, so quiet that I want to let Wendy reading work alongside me as the original iRobot video I do not find it, but it is much quieter than the turbosaugende Alan. Because Wendy is smaller and flatter than the vacuum cleaner, it creates then even angle the back of the guest toilet and cupboards that do not reach the larger, round Alan. Prima teamwork.

- Floor cloths: The towels are super easy and quick to install on the water tank cover on a Velcro surface. The one supplied blue microfiber wipe is clearly for an extensive cleaning process too little. By hand using a hand brush I get it cleaned between fast enough, but want to use more blue wet microfibre cloths for my different rooms, so that they then throw into the washing machine can pan. The towels are dirty places fast with us, which I show how dirty the floor is dirt in some areas (front door and terrace) and how effective Wendy dressing, although they huddelt as seemingly harmless prior to and fro. So I've bought more blue microfiber wipes set of 3. Four towels us long.

- Home Care: We have old wood parquet flooring, new timber click parquet, tiles and natural stone. The water tank feeds its liquid directly via a wick (little wet exit port with microfibre piece, exchangeable) in the wipe and then wipe the surface. The Flüssigkeistversorgung of Wendy does not lead through the device. So I needed any cleaning fluid filling problems in the tank. Great.
The wick should be dipped in an antibacterial liquid. However great, the durability is unknown to me.
For my first pass (the floors were filthy VERY) I have Wendy sent a few drops of green soap in the tank on all floors. Prima successfully wipe always nice dirty, clean all surfaces seemed pleasant. 2 days later I have Wendy then sent again with a dash of professional cleaning antibacterial additive for wiping. I felt just to the WC's and in the bathroom to be very useful and enjoyable. After the Christmas holidays, I'll let Wendy the wood floors then clean nourishing with wood cleaner. So for all Haufrauen-, Hausmänner- and soil requirements can be made with little effort a good fine tuning of the cleaning agents. In what should be the microfiber cleaning nose of the tank bonded by the cleaners, and cleaned after each use / can, I'll check.

MOISTURE: The very old wood parquet dressing Wendy much more gentle and just not as wet as I did. Good. The uneven natural stone (Solhofener tiles) was also at all points just enough liquid through the microfiber cloth. Here I'll let wipe and 2 times. The bathroom tiles and the wooden floor had a click functional wetness degree to remove one hand the soap water stains under the sink in the black tiles, but not penetrate the wood joints of the parquet. So I would like that.

CHARGING STATION: Practically that at Wendy in the uprightly erected "attitude" right the cable can be plugged in at the bottom. This eliminates a second charging station, the yes with Alan rumsteht already in the room. At the same time requires Wendy by the state also little space and can be directly near the wall. This is of course only because Wendy is square and much smaller and lighter than the turbosaugende Alan. Even I missed no extra turbo charger (bringing it to 2 instead of 4 hours. Charging time) for Wendy, which is also available iRobot Braava 380 turbo charger. I let Wendy usually once in between sucking power when Alan is longer busy with the pre-suction. So far, reached the.

OPTICS: Alan and Wendy both come along in black piano lacquer look. This fits together visually quite respectable. When standing upright when loading one then looks at the shiny surface, which looks acceptable.

Even our 13 year old son has Wendy already in his room in use and is satisfied.

Wendy and Alan are our dream team.

Addendum Mai2014: Come on without 2. Cube good. Use as a rule of the tiles and the floor each a shot from the corresponding special cleaner (sometimes even green soap for all) and shuffle each added a small final household disinfectant cleaner. Nothing clogs in the water tank cover and bring to me more good results. The floor cloths show good durability. The mop robot caught in the laundry room in the lowered Siel since point I then washing powder box on it.
The cleaning tank after each cleaning cycle empty. Had before the holidays forget in a hurry and now the plastic has become a bit dull and the Frottéstoffen something crumbly. Well, now I fit better (to be replaced on a regular basis anyway, has not been necessary). Cleaning tank but still fully operational!
