Robotic cleaning machine

Mint is a robotic cleaning machine for hard-surface floors from Evolution Robotics. It automatically dusts and mops floors with the press of a button. The appliance works with cloths like Swiffer and Pledge dry and west cloths. In mop mode, a special cleaning motion dissolves and wipes up dirt and grime.

Mint cleans quietly for three or more hours on a single charge. It is low-maintenance; there are no bins to empty or filters to replace. It measures about 10 inches wide and about 3 inches tall.
