how does the self cleaning work and does it actually do a good cleaning job?

I don't know how it works, but I think it does a good job. It does take some time.

It gets it cleaner but not as clean as if you used bleach and hand scrubbed. It is certainly beneficial when you don't have the time and energy to hand scrub.

There is no cleaning action other than when you roll it over. It works poorly, at best. Read some of the negative review, including mine, or see the video on YouTube. I've thrown the ones I bought in the trash.

it cleans on a random pattern, it does a great job at covering the whole pool floor. It successfully climbs & scrubs the walls. It does climb the stairs but it does not always clean them 100%. Overall, this is the best pool cleaner that I have ever used. I could not be happier with the purchase.

It does really well with fine dust like drywall. They demo it in one of their videos I believe. I think it comes down to how well your vacuum performs and how frequently you empty the dust bucket.

I have had one for three months and it cleans the entire downstairs of our home (1000 ft^2). (That is a kitchen, family room, dinning room, living room and half bath) It cleans until the battery runs down goes back to the charging station recharges itself. It then returns to where it left off and finishes. It takes a couple of hours but it does it all and it does a very good job. The only thing I have to do is empty the dirt while it recharges and when its done. My wife and I were amazed the first few times it did the floors. The surfaces for all the floors are tile with throw rugs all over the place. It even does a good job on the rugs. The only warning I would give is that it does get stuck sometimes: on electrical cords that are loose on the floor, under dining tables when the chairs are in a certain position (but only once--it cleans under the tables really well) and on my daughter's music stand (again only once--it climbed one of the legs of the stand backing up and lifted the drive wheels off the floor) It has gotten clogged and stopped twice: Once when a thumb tack got stuck in the blade of its brush and jammed against the body of the vacuum and the first time we ran it so much hair wrapped around the brush that it got stuck but both my wife and daughter have long hair and it had been several days since the rooms had been swept. It is easy to clean the brush and empty out the collection bin. Depending on how much furniture you have, it may get everything on one battery charge it gets over three-quarter of the way done before it goes back for a charge at our house.

yes it work pretty good. You need to brush it before using but you don't have to put too much work in to it.

It did a good job, yes. Lint comes from the laundry detergent you use-it breaks down fibers and wears out the fabric of your clothing. I use Melaleuca laundry detergent and brightener and have very little lint to deal with, plus it does a great job on cleaning. This little machine cleaned my clothes better than any other I've used. It doesn't take a large load of clothes, so you will do a few more loads than you're use to, and it takes a few more cycles in the dryer to dry them, but it's super cheap to operate and your clothes are CLEAN! The lint trap is at the bottom of the machine, a little plug you pull out and clean off.

Yes! It's amazing! No nasty build up it merely cleans and leave the floor as if it was brand new. Jan O.

It requires a special shampoo (available at grocery stores and Walmart) and it does its own heating of the water. I've been satisfied with the level of cleaning. It's small, so it's not for a whole room, but for pet stains, spilled coffee, or a chair, it's been great.

the manual says it is self adjusting it will clean it but it is very difficult to push the vacuum while on it

It has good suction. My original comment was unfavorable. The fault was mine. I did not have the bag installed correctly. The sweeper is very much up to Hoover standards!

I have not only never had any trouble with mine but this may be the single best investment I have ever made. I have had mine about 9 months and use it 2-3 times a week and it is fully automated, It cleans while I get other things done and then when it's done it goes right back to the base. It does like to do a good job underneath things tho. It may be getting stuck underneath something there.

The tanks each remove easily and get rinsed out with clean water. I haven't ever felt a need to clean the brushes. it's a great machine and cleans wonderfully. Best part is the way it pulls the dirty water back out of the cleaner, leaving the carpet with a very short drying time.

Mint Plus is just the newest cleaner by this company. This is the one you want. It works well but for it to change your life you need to use it. I have a Roomba vacuum which I hit a button and it goes an cleans. It is a daily "don't think about" it kind of robot. The mint plus you either have to load the reservoir and put a cloth or put a swiffer wet cloth on. More hassle. I usually only use it when I am cleaning the whole house. I should use it every day but it's one of those things.

It has a sensor I think and tells you when it needs cleaning. You can also wash it off manually.

Don't think mine self-cleans daily, but it does do it periodically. I just may not happen to be in the room with it if it does the self-cleaning daily. No jamming problems, maybe happened once or twice when making copies with the ADF. Have only had to replace the black ink cartridge once in 17 months (I use the larger cartridges) and did not have a problem with the printer recognizing it. This is a decent, economical all in one in my experience with it. I read some negative reviews, but for the price I took a chance and got a good little printer and have been very satisfied with it.
