We started out with a mission to deliver an appliance grade, automatic floor cleaner that could truly clean hard surface floors.

Traditional manual methods of sweeping and mopping are effective at cleaning, but are hard, time consuming work. Consumers could choose convenience or choose clean floors, but not both.

That seemed like an unnecessary trade-off to us. After all, household automation has become commonplace for chores like washing dishes and clothes. Why not floor cleaning?

So we set to work integrating our highly advanced technologies into a small, efficient, easy to use product exclusively focused on cleaning hard surface floors - without compromise.

We are iRobot, and we are proud to introduce Mint - a leap forward for smart home automation. But more importantly, a leap forward for clean floors!
