We ran the C28 across about 1,200 square feet of mixed hardwood, tile, and low-pile rug for a week. The first map took about 12 minutes and was accurate enough that we did not need to redraw walls. From day two on, the routine was simple: tap “clean,” walk away, come back to a vacuumed and damp-mopped floor with a freshly washed mop pad sitting in the dock.

The 15,000 Pa number sounds like marketing fluff until you watch it pull a visible line of pet hair out of a rug edge that our previous bot had been skating over for months. The HydroJet mop is the bigger story for us though. Most “mop” robots drag a wet pad around. This one actually scrubs and self-rinses mid-cycle, so you don’t end up redepositing the same dirty water across the whole floor.

One small annoyance: the dock is bulky. If your house has tight corners, plan a real spot for it instead of squeezing it next to a wall. Otherwise, this is the closest thing to a “set it and forget it” floor cleaner we have tested.
