I am now going to purchase my 3rd Reservoir Pad for the Braava Floor Mopping Robot. I have had 2 break.

I love this Robot it does a great job and is very quite.

However, they need to improve their reservoir it keeps cracking and breaking.

I am going to try to put my couch on coaster to raise it to see if that helps, but their reservoir pads need to be stronger. If they could make them out of one piece instead of an attached water reservoir on the pad that would help. Stronger and thicker plastic would also be a suggestion.

I'm already upset, but I am really going to be mad if this one breaks also, especially after spending money for coasters to raise the couch. I was very careful with the second one and did not drop it . So the only thing I can think of is it is cracking from hitting the couch, but that is normal use and should not be happening.

Reason of review: Bad quality.

Monetary Loss: $132.

Preferred solution: Send me a new reservoir, improve product.

Location: Hamilton, Ontario

Obviously this is an issue that happens frequently. I rarely use my Braava and it cracked after only a few uses.

The tape that attaches cloth pads are also coming off the reservoir. I have repaired my reservoir with gorilla glue but would like to buy a new one IF I knew these issues had been addressed and corrected by IRobot - especially considering they are selling them for $39.99.

It seems too many of these companies are making parts that fail to intentionally get customers to buy replacement parts - revealing greedy and unscrupulous designers. I will not buy any more IRobot products as long as they continue to make products subject to failure.

I also like the Braava and the same thing has occurred for me--the plastic holding the cleaning fluid cracked after 3 uses, requiring me to use tape to seal the reservoir. So far (after 2 more uses) the repair has worked.

Still, I am considering getting another floor mopping attachment. Hmm. "Fool me once . .
