Product Description

The Mint Automatic Floor Cleaner from Evolution Robotics is designed exclusively for sweeping and mopping hard surface floors for you. Using dry and pre-moistened cleaning cloths, Mint picks up the dust, dirt and pet hair that constantly accumulate on floors. Mint's compact design gets into tight spaces, under furniture and into other areas that are hard to reach with traditional mops and sweepers.

Guided by the NorthStar Navigation System cube, Mint tracks
where it cleans so it doesn't miss a spot (see
larger image).

The easy-to-use controls (see larger image).

Guided by the NorthStar Navigation System, Mint methodically cleans open areas by moving back and forth in straight lines, working around furniture and rugs, and cleaning along baseboards.

Mint is easy to use. Simply attach your cleaning cloth of choice, choose sweep or mop and let Mint clean for you. Since Mint is not a vacuum, there are no bins to empty or filters to replace. So you can enjoy hassle-free clean floors every day.

Intelligent Navigation

The NorthStar Navigation System works like an indoor GPS that helps Mint keep track of where it has been and where it needs to go. Specifically, the NorthStar Cube projects a signal that Mint uses to determine its location. Then as Mint starts cleaning, it builds a map of the area as it goes, marking walls, obstacles and drop offs as it encounters them. After Mint finishes cleaning open areas and around obstacles, it performs a final edge cleaning along walls and furniture and then returns to where it started so you know right where to find it.

The dry (above) and wet (below) microfiber cleaning cloths
(see
larger image).

Mint can map and clean up to 800 square feet either in a large open space or by discovering adjacent rooms. In mop mode, the cleaning area is restricted to 250 square feet to optimize cleaning while the cleaning cloth is wet.

Sweeps & Mops

Mint's dual modes let you easily maintain all your hard surface floors with one device. In Sweep mode, Mint uses a dry sweeping cloth to pick up dust bunnies, pet hair and grit from your floor. In Mop mode, Mint cleans with a pre-moistened cleaning cloth and a special back-and-forth mopping motion to pick up deeper dirt and grime. All it takes to switch modes is a fresh cleaning cloth and a press of a button.

Cleaning Cloths

Mint works with commonly available disposable cleaning cloths or with re-usable microfiber cloths. Mint's specially designed microfiber cloths can be re-washed and re-used hundreds of times. Different cloths have been developed to optimize both sweeping and mopping. Flat white microfiber cloths are ideal for attracting dust and dirt while dry sweeping. Textured grey cloths hold water and help loosen and grab deeper grime when mopping. Mint comes with a starter pack of 1 mopping and 2 sweeping cloths.

What's in the Box

Mint Automatic Floor Cleaner, NorthStar Navigation Cube with 2 C batteries, 2 dry sweeping microfiber cloths, 1 wet mopping microfiber cloth, power adapter, quick start guide, user manual. Backed by a 1 year warranty.

Care Instructions

To keep your cloths in good shape for hundreds of hours of cleaning, please follow these laundering recommendations:
  • Machine wash warm.
  • Tumble dry low or air dry.
  • Do not use fabric softener or bleach as these can degrade the cloth fibers over time.

    Wet cleaning with microfibers is safe for sealed floor surfaces including tile, vinyl, laminate and sealed hardwood. Disposable pre-moistened cloths are usually safe for the same floor types, but always check the package to make sure they are safe for your floor type.

Can't live without it.

Can't live without it.
I have owned my Mint for 6 months and it's a product where i wonder, how did i live without it? I run my mint once, sometimes twice a day if i time it right and i can get a charge in between. The amount of hair and dirt of picks up is incredible. If you could literally have a person running a swiffer pad over your floors for a few hours, you can imagine all the stuff they would collect. that is essentially what the mint does. i do not use the pad that came with the mint, but instead solely use swiffer wet and dry pads. the pads get so gross after a run that i could not imagine throwing them in my washer time after time, so i just throw the swiffer pads in the trash. before the mint, if i walked barefoot around my house my feet would get dirty and black, but not anymore. that is the biggest difference i can tell, and i think thats HUGE. keep in mind i swept my floors about every other day and mop every other day too. probably more often than the average person. I also have three small dogs, two of whom shed like crazy. if my mint broke, i would buy another without hesitation. unfortunately the treading on the wheels came off last week and it stopped working. i sent it back to the manufacturer(for free, they paid the postage) and 4 days later i had it back. talk about fast! love love love my mint. definitely recommend for those with hardwood/tile floors.
