What's great about it: Great time saver!
What's not so great: Doesn't work as great on dusting tiles.
I love the mint floor cleaner! It works best on hard wood floors! It mops tile floors great too. The only negative is that it doesn't do as great on dusting the tile floors. Where the grout is slightly lower then the tiles, it allows larger/heavier (pine needles, crumbs) to settle in the grout. So, when I do my tile floors, I quickly just vacuum them and then let the mint mop! It is a bit pricey but with the time it saves me mopping and dusting my hard wood floors, well worth it!
I would recommend this to a friend!

What's great about it: The whole room is swept, I only have a few small pieces to pick up
What's not so great: can't scrub 1,800 sq ft on a single charge, who could :)
We moved into a new home with 1,800 sq ft of laminate and vinyl. It seemed to take hours to clean the floor and keep it clean. I started researching steamers, scuba, roombas, etc. and saw the infomercial for the Mint. As I researched, I thought this would be great for me. I was so happy it is a Best Buy product because Best Buy stands behind what they sell. It is a vote of confidence. My husband was skeptical. A robot swifter he thought when I brought it home. He was amazed what it gathers in the cloth. We have a dog. When I sweep his fur balls take off in all directions. The Mint gathers all the fur and dirt giving me a clean floor while I’m at work or at home doing something else. I use it every few days. It came with two dry cleaning cloths and two wet cleaning cloths. These are easily machine washable. The Mint has a reservoir for the wet cloths. At first I thought it was small, but more water makes the floor streaky. You can use whatever solution you prefer. The Mint works The floors are cleaner than if I sweep by and and I don’t have to spend the time to do it. I don’t use Swifter cloths as much as I thought I would, but it is nice to have that option. Also, it is cute. When it charges the light flashes softly like Evie on the Disney movie Wall-E.

What's great about it: Very easy to maintain clean floors
What's not so great: Doesn't do heavy scrubbing or sweep up large amounts of crumbs
We've loved the Mint Cleaner. Totally makes mopping super easy! Not perfect, but we knew what it does and doesn't do well before we bought it, so it met our expectations quite well.
I would recommend this to a friend!

What's great about it: Quiet, Works as Advertised, Cool looking
What's not so great: No auto docking
I purchased this as a Christmas gift for my wife. She already has an iRobot Vacuum and has been wishing there was one that would mop our dark hardwood floors. I considered the iRobot Scooba, but its cost and negative reviews got me looking at the Mint Plus instead. My wife loves this thing! It does a great job wet wiping the floors. It does not have a vacuum and really does nothing more than push a wet microfiber cloth up and down the floors, but it does it well. We just pick up the large items that fall on the floor (we have 3 girls under the age of 4) and then set the Mint to work. The maintenance is really minimal. After it is done, just take the microfiber cloth off and rise it off. Having the charging base is an option I would recommend you get. For one it gets the Mint out of the way when it is charging and the other reason is that it just looks cool.
We have very dark hardwood floors throughout the kitchen, living and dining room and this saves my wife the daily fight of keeping the footprints, dog hair and general grime in check. It is not for deep cleaning or removing tough stuck on stuff, but it does an awesome job of wet wiping the floors.
We love it and more importantly my wife LOVES it. It is easy to use, has very little maintenance and is QUIET. You almost can't hear it running and I have almost stepped on it a few times when I wasn't paying attention.
I would recommend this to anyone that needs a hand with the daily wipe-downs.
It doesn't have a feature to automatically return to the dock to charge, but not a huge deal.
I would recommend this to a friend!

What's great about it: Good for daily cleanings.
What's not so great: Not great for deep cleaning.
Yes, it's not a vacuum, let's get that out of the way. But it's a great little sweeper, and a better mopper, and it's oddly fun to watch it do its work. I wouldn't suggest this product for any sort of deep cleaning, but with 5 pets in our house, it's awesome for a daily sweeping or every-other-day or more mopping (hardwood floors). Have run it several times this week and am quite the fan.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Our condo is nearly 1,400 sqft of hardwood floors, all on one level. We bought the mint to do floor sweeping. It has worked perfectly. Its low height allows it to gets under items & the north star technology helps it to map the room.
Admittedly, I like to have a cocktail and watch it bump into things while it learns space. I also think it follows my wife b/c she tends to drop things....
Definitely recommend this product.

What's great about it: It's quiet
What's not so great: Doesn't clean very well!
I decided to treat myself to a little help with house work. Even bought the protection plan. It was over $520 out the door only to get it home and it barely works! And please understand, because I don't think I fully grasped the concept, that it IS NOT A VACUUM! It's simply a smart devise that travels around your house with a microfiber towel (or swifter cloth) and picks up dust that way. So there's ALWAYS something left over that you'll need to sweep up! And the mop feature is a JOKE! I've had it go over my floors twice now and there's still stuff left over! BUT let me be fair...I have black hardwood floors so I need a product like this that's truly amazing to substitute the "elbow grease" I put into cleaning my floors...and this product IS NOT IT! Needless to say it's going back tonight!
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
