In comparison with a Roomba, there are some things that stand out. The one frustration I have with the Mint cleaner is that where you plug the charger in is on the bottom of the robot, so you have to set it on its end (or flip it over) to plug it in. The dirt sticks to the pads and bam, you can throw them out (in the case of Swiffer Pads) or wash them in the washer. One of the worries that I had about the Mint was that it would just sort of push the dirt around and leave it in corners or up against the floor boards. The pads (and the Swiffers) do a great job of grabbing dirt, dust, fuzzy things, grit, and hair off of the floor. Although the robot is designed to use Swiffer Pads. These are washable and more eco-friendly that using Swiffer Pads.
In the box with the Mint Cleaner are two microfiber cleaning cloths for dry use, and one wet cloth for mopping.

Both the manual and the quick start page are very clear and easy to understand. You can get the robot sweeping the floor, and the read the manual later, while you’re watching it clean for you. I really enjoy quickstart pages, because they get you going with a minimum of fuss and muss.

The Northstar beacon runs on two C cells, and I have to applaud Evolution Robotics for including them in the kit! I hate it when I’m opening a new product and find that I have to make a trip to the store before I can use it.Īlso in the box is a manual, registration card, and a quick start instruction page. The items you get in the box are: The Mint robot itself, the Evolution Robotics Northstar beacon, a charger for the robot, washable microfiber dusting pads, and the batteries for the beacon. While this ensures that the robot will arrive in one piece, I felt like it was a little excessive and not exactly environmentally conscious. The Mint arrives in a large box, which is filled mostly with styrofoam, and opens up like a clamshell. See our in-depth review of the Mint 5200, here.) Here’s what the Mint cleaner looked like after sweeping the floor under our bed, which was dust-bunny city. (Later note: In mid-2011, Evolution came out with a new Mint model. Our verdict? Except for one or two annoying flaws, the Mint Robot Cleaner is a great product. We’ve been excited to try out a Mint sweeper robot since we saw the news that Evolution Robotics had come out with one. Later note – Announced August 22, 2013, iRobot is now selling the Mint 4200 re-branded as the Braava 320.
